At least 20 Iranians lashed for breaking Ramadan fast

Jun 11, 2017 2:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Sharia advocate Linda Sarsour tweeted this yesterday:

Well, here’s one. And there are hundreds of examples, thousands of examples, and more all the time, of Muslims imposing Sharia. This is a good illustration of the difference between actual Sharia and the fantasy version that is peddled to unsuspecting Infidels in the West.

“At least 20 Iranians lashed for breaking Ramadan fast,” by Fatih Karimov, Trend News Agency, June 11, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

At least 20 Iranian citizens were lashed in the country’s north western province of Qazvin due to breaking of the Ramadan fast.

Prosecutor of Qazvin province, Esmail Sadeghi Niaraki said that the mentioned persons were sentenced to fine and lash due to eating in public during fasting hours in the month of Ramadan, Iran’s Mehr news agency reported on June 11.

He further said that so far 90 people have been arrested in Qazvin due to breaking of the Ramadan fast, adding that a special court is reviewing their cases….

It is said that according to the law in Iran, people who break their fasts in public are liable to between 10 to 60 days in prison or 74 lashes.

    No, there is *not one*….there are multiple examples. And there are many *anyone*s.

    And she just can’t stop herself from lying…she is a psychopath, a pathological liar. With a slapable face.

      yes Linda Sansour is practicing “holy lying” – taqiyya- just like her perfect man that dead reprobate and demon possessed mass murderer liar thief and pedophile pervert – muhammed!

  2. Jack Dawkins says

    A Muslim associate explained how to survive “The Mob” (I.e. Muslims living under Islam) very simply. The first and most important rule: “He who keeps his mouth shut, lives forever.”

  3. Lee Hicks says

    Lies are an accepted part of Islam (Taqiyya), and Sarsour displays it perfectly here, with her boldfaced lie. Worldwide, Sharia is being imposed on unwilling people, and in western nations, despicable people like her use cultural and political Jihad to worm the vile practices of Islam into the host nations. There is no peaceful version of Islam, and never has been, since Mohammad moved from Mecca to Medina. There is abundant evidence of the corrupt and evil nature of the entire Muslim religion, no matter how often the dishonest Muslims claim otherwise. Anti-Muslim legislation needs to be the order of the day in every free nation, outlawing Sharia, genital mutilation, pedophilia, subjection of women/children, child “marriage”, and every other evil practice that are essential aspects of textbook Islam.

    • TheBuffster says

      Jun 11, 2017 at 9:14 pm

      Lee, Taqiyya is only one type of lie permitted in Islam. That’s the one where you lie about your Muslim beliefs in order to protect yourself from immediate harm from an enemy. You are also permitted to lie to the enemy in war. And you can lie in order to keep the peace among friends, as in “white lies”.

      I think perhaps Sarsour’s lying tweet falls under the “war is deceit” category. And the form – I can’t remember the name for this type of lying – but it’s the type where you choose your words to have a double meaning so that the apparent meaning is different from the one you really mean, like if someone comes to your door asking for your brother, and your brother doesn’t want to see him, you can say “I’m sorry, Omar isn’t here” meaning he’s not standing right there with you… he’s in the family room watching his favorite show. But the meaning the friend on the doorstep is meant to get from that is that Omar isn’t at home.

      So Sarsour tells us that that there is NOT ONE example of Sharia being imposed. And that is true. Islamic history as well as the present is packed with many more than one example of Sharia being imposed on people – Muslims and non-Muslims – whether by legislation or by de facto intimidation – for example, making women afraid to leave their house wearing Western dress because of the many verbal abuses and looks they get from the large male Muslim population in their neighborhood.

      And how about the restriction of free speech when critics of Islam, such as the pastor Danny Nalliah and another pastor here in Melbourne, Australia, got punished under Victorian law for things said and done while holding a seminar on how to convert Muslims to Christianity. Three converts to Islam infiltrated the meeting and were outraged when the pastor read from the Koran passages that made the participants laugh at the absurdity. So they reported the two pastors, who had to spend ages of time and energy and stress and tens of thousands of dollars defending themselves. They were ordered to recant publicly and to say no more negative things about Islam, which the Pastors refused to do and appealed to a higher court. They finally won, but not after going through hell.

      As Mark Steyn says, the process is the punishment.

      Linda Sarsour is a liar for her cause, and this *is* war for the sake of Allah.

      Lee, liberals and Muslims both lie and deceive others and have no shame. Liebrils are amoral and Machiavellians.

      • Pete Rottier says

        Jun 12, 2017 at 6:17 pm

        I’m a liberal and I don’t lie. What I find amusing is all this judgement of Muslims that is on this blog. When I was in Catholic school I was told I shouldn’t judge others. I believe the bible states “why look for the spec in your neighbor’s eye when there is a log in your own.” But then this blog doesn’t seem all that Christian.

        • mike9a says

          Jun 13, 2017 at 1:04 pm

          Wrong, seems you did not listen till the end: it did not say I cannot judge their actions and or what they say. In Islam two diametrically opposite things at the same time could be true and false. Such a combination could be only invented by father of lies.

          This blog IS NOT CHRISTIAN. It is open to all. I am a Jew. Wellington is an agnostic. (Or, is he an atheist?).

          There are some Hindus; atheists and agnostics; others (besides me) who are Jews, some ex-Muslims, and i think Buddhists.

          Nobody asked me, when I signed up-my religious affiliation–if any.

        Shane, i disagree with the last part of your statement.

        Machiavelli was brilliant- and in simple terms, it was shaft your enemies before they shaft you.

        Liberals and Muslims are liars; and slimy bastards. With no morality; no ethics and a ” my way or the highway” views

    Doesn’t this count as trying to impose shariah on everyone? And succeeding.

    • Montedoro44 says

      Jun 11, 2017 at 3:05 pm

      addendum: Maybe the active word in LS’s tweet is “impose” — if a constitutional democracy approves a sharia law, then it is not “imposed”. But it is still “legislation”. Or does “impose sharia” mean legislate all the basics of sharia, not just one measly law. IMO there is tricky semantics going on here that could be used to make her statement true.

  5. Benedict says

    Only a weak and repulsive religion needs the support of police and military personnel to promote itself.

  6. Ren says

    Jun 11, 2017 at 3:18 pm

    No legislations to impose sharia… not yet. But muslims are working on it… so beware. Linda Sarsour is a LIAR.

  7. Westman says

    Jun 11, 2017 at 3:38 pm

    Well, Linda So-sore, intelligent people know what goes around with fundamentslist Muslims, comes around.

    Maybe this is what concerns ACT folks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra45nX9JmW4

    Will you deny that Muslim groups have asked for Shariah courts in the US, like those that already exist in Europe?

    When did you internalize lying as a virtue? Political office awaits you in Dearborn.

  8. marina says

    Jun 11, 2017 at 3:52 pm

    Fasting should be a private matter. Of those people who broke their fast maybe some were feeling sick or were already sick and had to eat. Tolerance and compassion is absent in this vile religion.

  9. John A. Marre says

    Jun 11, 2017 at 3:56 pm

    That’s bad. What’s worse is non-Muslims willingly imposing Sharia law on non-Muslims. Yes.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if that woman had the sharia punishment for hugging a man other than her husband?

    I remember a photo of her next to New York’s dhimmi Mayor. How many stones for that Linda?

    VERBAL JIHAD by Linda Sarsour … i.e. lying about jihad’s meaning, motives and methods.

    The motive of jihad is the HATRED DIRECTED against the DIRTY KUFAAR … whom Linda DEVOUTLY hates and deceives FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH.

    Only the EXTEMELY GULLIBLE believe a word from Sarsour… even when she says ‘hello’, it is a lie. DID YOU KNOW MUSLIMS HAVE A SECOND-CLASS GREETING FOR KAFIRS and a FIRST-CLASS GREETING for fellow Muslims? That’s DISCRIMINATION … that’s DISCRIMINATORY SHARIA LAW.

  12. mortimer says

    Jun 11, 2017 at 5:25 pm

    Sarsour is either one of the worst informed Muslims or the worst liar. EVERYONE knows that in all Muslim countries, RAMADAN VIOLATORS (whether Muslim or not) are TARGETED every Ramadan. Restaurants and shops selling food are BLOWN UP or FIRE-BOMBED every year. People merely eating a sandwich or drinking coffee on the street are STABBED. Sarsour is a baldfaced liar in the matter of HISBAH during Ramadan… there have been many examples of HISBAH persecution in Nigeria, Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan, Gaza and elsewhere.

    HISBAH PERSECUTION is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    (PLEASE google: HISBAH)

    • WPM says

      Jun 12, 2017 at 7:17 am

      I go with liar it what they do Islam is one long attempt to subjugate everyone into silence and misery. Misery enjoys company they cannot stand to see Kafir get any enjoyment out of just living life without the constant hate that Islam demands to be followed .to the letter of its true self.

    • Westman says

      Jun 12, 2017 at 3:56 pm

      “Hisbah is the divinely-sanctioned duty of the ruler (government) to intervene and coercively “enjoin good and forbid wrong” in order to keep everything in order according to sharia (Islamic law).” Thanks for pointing it out, mortimer.

      That forbidding part always gets in the way of muslim-infidel relationships. Where Christianity expects the believer to govern themselves, Islam forbids to all and attempts to govern all.

      This means, of course, that another violent Islam-West global conflict is in the making; the West always hoping for peace and projecting its liberal values onto a rising enemy until it’s almost too late. Who knows how far into the future this struggle will commence; likely, long after some of us have passed. That it will begin, appears as obvious is knowing the Sun does not set in a muddy pool.

    Jun 11, 2017 at 6:25 pm

    I don’t recall ( and I lived in NYC and the suburbs- with heavy Jewish population- of ANYONE being charged with a crime for eating during Yom Kippur (holiest day n the Jewish year, when one is supposed to fast for approximately 25 hours). (Exceptions made for women nursing an infant; young children; people who are ill; etc). By=ut, even people who are physically able to fast and do not–no punishment.

    So, why are Muslims punished-if they are, as THEY CLAIM ” AN ABRAHMAIC RELIGION?”.

    And, why, in non Muslim countries, are people — who are not Muslims- attacked for eating or drinking during ring a ding time?

  14. Norger says

    Jun 11, 2017 at 9:55 pm

    Charlie Hebdo… the Danish cartoon controversy(officially denounced as “blasphemous” by the 57 nation Organization of the Islamic Conference) (“OIC”)…the OIC’s rejection of the Universal (UN) Declaration of Human Rights in favor of the Cairo declaration of “human rights”(i.e. human “rights” are limited to those “rights” recognized by Sharia)… Boko Haram’s kidnapping and rape of schoolgirls…9/11…London…Madrid…Paris… etc. etc. etc….the ongoing slaughter of Coptic Christians… The ultimatum given to the non-Muslims in Raqqa by ISIS (convert, flee or pay the jizya)…ALL examples of sharia in action Ms. Sarsour.

  15. No Fear says

    Jun 12, 2017 at 3:29 am

    Blasphemy! Blasphemy! There’s a case of Wolf Blass for me!

  16. Joe says

    Jun 12, 2017 at 5:42 am

    People are punished for blasphemy and apostasy all the time in Muslim countries. For example, the Indonesian governor who was guilty of blasphemy although he was not Muslim. There are thousands of examples. Sharia is always imposed on the unwilling whenever Muslims get the chance to impose it. So again, Linda gets it exactly wrong as usual, because she is trying to impose Sharia law on us.

  17. johnnybigtime says

    Jun 12, 2017 at 5:48 am

    Linda Sarsour;- Where do they get these people from? Is there a greenhouse somewhere which cultivates retards?
    In the Satanic Koran, Muslims are taught to maim, mutilate and murder people.
    By way of contrast to Muslim wickedness:-

    (1) The archangel Gabriel stated that Jesus was the Son of God (Luke 1:35)
    (2) Jesus says, ‘Love God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself. Love does no harm to a neighbour, therefore it is the fulfillment of the law’
    ‘On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets’ (Matthew 22).
    Anyone who adds or takes away any words of the Bible (all Muslims), murderers (some Muslims) and unbelievers (all Muslims) shall have their portion in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21).

    Jesus is God.

    Why does that stupid/deceptive woman think so many pet dogs are being abused or killed in Germany? Hint: it’s not the traditional dog loving German culture at work.

  19. Pete Rottier says

    Jun 12, 2017 at 12:44 pm

    Clearly the tweet referred to the anti-Sharia protests in the US and the fact that sharia is not LEGALLY practiced here in the US. In fact, only 2 countries claim to rule by sharia–Saudi Arabia and Iran. Perhaps that is why it was so easy to find an example from Iran. Is sharia, or some variant of it practiced illegally in some parts of the world? Absolutely, and this should be stopped. But it is hard for the US to support such actions when it calls Saudi Arabia a friend and supplies them with billions of dollars worth of weapons.
