Trudeau is an avowed feminist and human rights defender, but where are his words of support for the courageous Iranian women who are being arrested in Tehran for removing their hijabs?
Herein lies a mammoth problem with Justin Trudeau: his claims to support women’s rights while being a supporter of Islamic supremacist interests. The Iranian regime is widely known to be outstanding in its brutality against women.
Maryam Mombeini, the wife of a Canadian-Iranian professor who died in a Tehran prison under suspicious circumstances last month, was detained by Iranian authorities while trying to board a flight to Canada on March 8 – International Women’s Day
Consider the question: “where are Trudeau’s words of support for the courageous Iranian women who are being arrested in Tehran for removing their hijabs?” Justin Trudeau — like a parrot — repeats incessantly his support for “diversity,” which unfortunately includes doctrines that humiliate and are injurious to women, once Justin Trudeau gets his “diverse” votes on election day. Canadian Senator Linda Frum has been working to close an election loophole that enables foreign funding to influence Canadian elections, including funding from nations such as Iran. Before Christmas, Frum courageously refused to apologize for calling Iran a “malign nation,” while Islamic supremacist interests (as usual) ganged up on Frum.
As the article points out:
This is not the first indignity that Tehran has imposed on Canada, despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s strong commitment to re-engage with the Iranian regime. Will this latest malfeasance finally put to rest the Trudeau government’s determination to restore relations with Iran, without first demanding improved conduct?
Hardly! Maryam Mombeini’s husband died in an Iranian prison in February:
Iran’s theocracy represents the antithesis of Canada’s liberal democracy, as it violently constrains its citizens’ speech, movement and religious observance, and deliberately enforces barriers to gender equality
The former Conservative government cut diplomatic ties with Iran, and the Liberal Trudeau government has been trying to restore relations with the regime.
“Standing up for Iranian Women”, by Sheryl Saperia, Canadian Jewish News, March 21, 2018:
Maryam Mombeini, the wife of a Canadian-Iranian professor who died in a Tehran prison under suspicious circumstances last month, was detained by Iranian authorities while trying to board a flight to Canada on March 8 – International Women’s Day.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland tweeted: “I am outraged to learn that Maryam Mombeini, widow of Kavous Seyed-Emami, was barred from leaving Iran. We demand that, as a Canadian, she be given the freedom to return home.”
This is not the first indignity that Tehran has imposed on Canada, despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s strong commitment to re-engage with the Iranian regime. Will this latest malfeasance finally put to rest the Trudeau government’s determination to restore relations with Iran, without first demanding improved conduct?
Iran’s theocracy represents the antithesis of Canada’s liberal democracy, as it violently constrains its citizens’ speech, movement and religious observance, and deliberately enforces barriers to gender equality. While Canada does not, and should not, limit its interactions only to states that share its ideals, neither should we actively seek to court and reward governments that sponsor terrorism, repress their own people and arbitrarily arrest, torture and kill our citizens. Any dealings with such countries need to be part of a larger framework that reflects our values and protects our interests.
Trudeau is an avowed feminist and human rights defender, but where are his words of support for the courageous Iranian women who are being arrested in Tehran for removing their hijabs? While these women have focused on the Muslim headscarf that all females over 13 years of age must wear as part of the dress code instituted following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, they are ultimately protesting their government’s interference with their basic autonomy.
Masih Alinejad, an Iranian writer and activist who lives in New York, explained that, “In the Islamic Republic of Iran, if you take off your headscarf and you appear in public unveiled, you get fined, you get arrested, you get lashes. You will be kicked out from your school if you are unveiled. You won’t be able to get a job.… When we fight against a compulsory hijab, we don’t fight against a piece of cloth. We fight for our dignity. We fight for our identity. And we fight for our personal lives. We’re not against those women who want to wear hijabs, but we don’t want them to be pushing us in a situation to wear their dress code, which we do not believe in.”
The Canadian government provoked enormous controversy earlier this year when it amended the criteria for the Canada Summer Jobs grant, to reflect the government’s position “that women’s rights are human rights,” including “sexual and reproductive rights — and the right to access safe and legal abortions.” Meanwhile, Ottawa seems undeterred in its plans to reconcile with Iran, while that government proposes a Bill to Increase Fertility Rates and Prevent Population Decline, which outlaws surgical contraception, restricts access to contraceptives, censors information on contraceptive methods and reduces state funding for family planning programs….

Justin Trudeau is a supporter of his image as a champion of human rights. Real human rights champions care far more about human rights than their public image and are often highly controversial figures.

He’s a shallow, Islamo-pandering, virtue-signalling know-nothing mascot for every degeneracy. He merely repeats his lines, occasionally ad-libbing with slogans he’s heard. That’s when he gets into trouble…when he thinks he’s smart enough to go off script. His handlers will eventually realize he’s a liability and dump him like a hot potato… a hot ‘Little Potato’ (what the Chinese called him). When he is gone, no one will speak of this embarrassing twit.

Jihadi Justin never met a terrorist he didn’t like. He assumes that all the terrorists need is taxpayer money and they will vote for him. Many people think he wrote more checks to foreign dictators than he spent on Canadian citizens. He hates people who find any fault with Islam.

Thank you, Christine and Linda Frum for your continued support of women’s rights and Linda’s effort to close the election loop hole. Trudeau is a hypocrite and on his way to becoming a dictator.
mortimer says
Canada’s Lib-Jihad Party of Canuckistan ignores what Islam says about women:
The hadiths of Mohammed that insult and degrade all women:
– I think that women were created for nothing but evil.
– Women have ten ‘awrat (vulvas). When she gets married, the husband covers one, and when she dies the grave covers the ten (of her shameful parts).
– A straw mat in the corner of the house is preferable to a barren woman.
– Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’).
– The woman is a toy, whoever takes her, let him care for her [ or do not lose her ].
– Had it not been for women, God would have truly, truly been worshipped.
– Men perished the day they obeyed the women.
– Obedience to a woman’s advice causes regret.
– Consult women and act contrary (to it).
– Sneezing, drowsing, yawning in prayer, also menstruation, vomiting and nose-bleeding are from Satan.
– When…your affairs are in the hands of your women, the interior of the earth (hell) will be the better for you than its surface.
– If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back.
– Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
– I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than you (women).
– I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
– Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse.
– After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women.
– Don’t wear false hair for Allah sends His curse upon such ladies who lengthen their hair artificially.
– Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur’an.
– Women, slaves and camels are same.
– Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman.
– If you relax the woman’s bridle a tiny bit, she will take you and bolt wildly. And if you lower her cheek-piece a hand span, she will pull you an arm’s length … Their deception is awesome and their wickedness is contagious; bad character and feeble mind are their predominant traits.
– “[A man’s wife] fears him, while he fears her not, a kind word from him satisfies her, where nothing of hers has importance in his eyes, it is she who must tolerate the presence of concubines, and it is she who worries when he is ill whereas even her death would leave him indifferent.
– If a man calls his wife to his bed and she refuses, and he spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until morning.
– Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals [awan] with you and do not possess anything for themselves. You have taken them only as a trust from God and you have made the enjoyment of their persons lawful by the word of God, so understand and listen to my words…
– Muhammad’s last words on women during his farewell speech:
– God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them but not with severity. If they refrain from these things they have the right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control- of their persons. Sirat Rasul Allah.

This is one of Misc Trudeau’s herd of mammoth problems.
I’ll be making good use of it whenever the opportunity presents itself in conversations.

Kepha says
The O tried very hard to make nice with the Muslim Brotherhood and the Syrian rebellions. It got our ambassador to Libya killed and ourselves embroiled in a Syrian conflict which we shouldn’t have touched with a forty-foot pole. This does not include how the Islamicists bit the hand proffered to them. I suspect that before too long, the Jihadis will do something to show their true colors to Canada, regardless of how much Little Trudeau bows to them.
Westman says
If a religion assumes that its males are sexual predators and responds to that belief with the sequestering of its women – what is the message to the males about the females of other religions or athiests?
Imagine this conversation:
Fatima: “I’m tired of being second class and wearing this bag in the hot Sun!”
Ahmed: “What are you saying? Do you not know that you are Allah’s womb? You are not going to hell like those infidel women! I won’t let you! Where is my whip! Watch and learn, son…”
Ray Jarman says
The mullah’s treatment of women is completely intolerable but the left always overlooks this and other small defects as well as other small indiscretions such as killing homosexuals, for apostasy, for being a Jew and a host of others and like the mafia they seem to invoke omertà. They never learn from history and as Hegel pointed out in his discussions concerning history repeating itself and just like Antenor who opened the gates of Troy, Trudeau will lead Canada down the road to destruction unless the courageous people of Canada emulate its great hockey teams of the past and cast the latitudinarian elements out; this also applies for us Americans, Europeans and other people being led down the road to destruction by pusillanimous cowards.
DHazard says
Trudeau is the perfect social justice warrior hypocrite He does everything right. Blame white Western heterosexual men for everything bad and excuse or justify the criminal behavior of other people. So, with logic and facts out the door, he is able to reconcile within himself the mistreatment of women under Islam while, at the same time, forcing his own citizens to use the correct pronouns when addressing a person who thinks they might be transgender.
It boggles my mind that people can claim to be morally superior to everyone else while at the same time ignoring horrendous immorality from those whom the left has sanctified as belonging to a “victim” group.
6woods says
Justin Trudeau is a vapid, pandering, virtue-signaling airhead who gives $10.5
million to terrorists, meets in his office with criminals, cries on TV as he apologizes to a myriad of special interest groups for imagined wrong-doings by white Canadians, scolds a woman at a town-hall
meeting for using the word “mankind”- she should use “peoplekind” instead, has embarrassed this country with his cringe-worthy antics in India last month, including pissing off the Indian government by inviting a Sikh separatist convicted of attempted murder of an Indian official to a state dinner, and is on track to criminalizing criticism of islam.
I could go on and on (and I apologize for the rant). Unfortunately, most of my fellow Canadians are equally empty-headed and superficial, and will without a doubt re-elect this shit-for-brains next year.

Ewanda says
Women don’t have a chance in Canada as long as they accept an official language that is negative to women by its very genderized structure of its nouns being divided only into Masculine or Feminine, as equal to the genderless North American language we speak over here. A genderless language allows progress and free thinking. Get out any language dictionary and see what nouns are masculine and what nouns are feminine. Eg. Love is masculine and hate is feminine. An order is Masculine and obedience is feminine. Superior concepts are Masculine and inferior concepts are Feminine. Most European languages are genderized but it varies from country to country which nouns are what, plus most countries have a Neuter form as well. For instance in German love is Feminine and hate is Masculine. Obedience is also Masculine.
Genderized languages have a lot to do with imprinting children with those concepts. Prime Minister Trudeau claims he is a Feminist and then immediately lapses into the other official language which is a contradiction to what he just said. He also tolerated his female Ministers to have to sit at the back of the Mosque they were visiting while he sat at the front, instead of walking out in protest.
Remember Ladies, For Mohammad to be right you have to agree that the smartest woman in the world is not as smart as the dumbest man in the world.
By the way, if it is so important to take “man” out of words as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau corrected a taxpayer in one of his Town Meetings, just substitute an “i” for the “a”. “Chairman” becomes “Chairmin”. Easy peasy – if that ‘s important to do.
I think we have bigger challenges right now though.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Are you meaning that French is inherently ‘sexist’?
Not sure i can agree with you on that one Ewanda.
As an aside, although Quebec complains and has demanded French being written on everything in Canada, everywhere, if you go to Quebec, you don’t see much English at all, anywhere.
From my perspective, Quebec politically has sometimes behaved not altogether unlike a certain other minority group we all know and love. But that is a different subject altogether. At least against islam they sometimes try and not surrender their culture so quickly as the rest of Canada.
Ewanda says
I am not going to name names and be so specific, because I get called bigoted, prejudiced, etc. every time I have pointed this out over more than 25 years. Just think of all the taxpayer money we could have saved over the years and all the heartache that the businessmen in a province could have avoided if language challenges were recognized, accepted and corrected.
The research is there for all to see if they care to. It’s “in the book”. Just grab the language dictionary and start looking up the genders of the nouns. Also look up the gender of most of the diseases, most of the swear words, the parts of the body especially the intimate ones, …… then ask yourself why women were given the vote all over Canada by the 1920’s except one area that didn’t give women the vote till the 1940’s.
Then for more education grab other dictionaries of genderized language countries and note the predominant differences in the basic cultures.
Finally let’s ask ourselves if language imprinting was not meaningful then why was retarded changed to mentally challenged and handicapped changed to physically challenged? Also why are we cautioned to call the action “stupid” not the person? Ahhhhhh …. there is a truth here.

Dates for womens suffrage rights:
Germany 1918/9
Austria 1919
Denmark 1915
Hungary 1915
Netherlands 1919
Norway 1913
Sweden 1921
England 1928
I could go on of course.
Not seeing it Ewanda. There are some interesting patterns in the dates i’m sure, but language probably rates way down the list.
gravenimage says
I’m sorry–this is silly. The idea that one cannot be free if one speaks French, German, Danish, Dutch, Hungarian, or a slew of other languages because they have gramatical genders is ridiculous.
Ewanda says
It is what it is …. As they say in Hawaii … “It will come to you on the bus …” Did we know all about Islam when we first heard about it? Of course not. Did we believe the initial propaganda before we spent years studying both sides of the issue till we were versed in the truth about what is in the Koran? Unless we choose to look into new ideas presented to us sometimes our gut feeling overrides and discourages us to go any further.
Advertising agencies capitalize on subliminal seduction and imprinting.
Get out a language dictionary if you are curious and imagine what would beat down or raise self esteem.
And I said one has a better chance to be free of role assignments if one speaks a non-genderized language like North American, Norwegian, etc
gravenimage says
Ewanda, I speak German and a bit of French, as well as English.
If language with genders *really* retarded progress for women, then it should show up in women’s progress in countries that speak these languages.
But it doesn’t. In fact, women got the vote in Germany two years before they did in the US. It was later in France–but in most of the West, regardless of the language spoken, women got the right to vote in the interwar years.
Of course, voting is only one aspect. But other facets of women’s rights tend to follow similar patterns.
I think that ideology–as, say, with Islam–has a much greater effect than does language.

No, a world where women are not mutilated, “married” off as little girls, beaten, and stoned to death is not a “dream world”–it is the non-Muslim world.

The United States had no diplomatic relationship with the savage Mullahs for decades, as was the better for it.

This is Trudeau and his brother who lives In Iran and works for the Iranian government and are collaborating with these terrorists!Then handing out tax payers money to help fund the purchase of planes from Bombardier 100 million dollars of tax payers funds or right out of are CPP fund who knows who he is stealing the money from! Iran human rights are some of the worse in the world, especially women who are treated like second class citizen just behind a goat! Look what Trudeau is saying about woman’s rights here, but in the other hand he wants these people investing in Islamic groups through out Canada promoting their hatred! Then we find out it’s actually Canadian tax payer footing the bill with the 100 million dollars we will never see again! We just gave about 350 million dollars to Bombardier and the executives gave themselves million dollar bonuses and then payed off people and move one operation to the states. Iran has one of the biggest oil reserves in the world so why are we giving them 100 million dollars and remember this is the biggest supporter of terror in the world! You tell me what going on if someone like me can see it is a act of treason and official inquiry by the RCMP needs to be opened! This traitor is destroying our country it would take hours to list and explain what this treasonous idiot is trying to do! He wants to import enough welfare leeches to out vote Canadians that built this country!
