Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran: Ayatollah Khamenei uses #MeToo to promote the hijab

Oct 6, 2018 9:13 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The rogue regime of Iran is giving America advice: that the hijab will stop assaults against women:

Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has a solution for all the #MeToo angst — the hijab. The video he attaches to the tweet below runs through a number of prominent American women describing their experience of assault.

This is not the first time that this oppressive, terrorist regime has played holier than thou. Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once boasted that there “no gays in Iran.” He forgot to mention that if that was true, it was because the Islamic Republic had either killed them or threatened to do so, forcing gays to be secretive. Ahmadinejad also boasted that there was no oppression of women in Iran. Yet it is written in the Quran:

And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed. (Quran 24:31)

If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:

O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. (Quran 33:59)

Unfortunately, the niqab does not work as an anti-rape device in Iran; gang-rapes there are reportedly on the rise there, while “attempts made by local judiciary officials to sweep the entire dossier under the rug, are raising extreme anger.”

Also, at the end of May:

Another case of rape caused major stir in Tehran, the country’s capital, where a school official admitted to raping 36 school boys. Some reports say the culprit was the grandson of Haeri Shirazi, the Friday prayer imam of Shiraz, known to be among Khamenei’s inner circle. These officials are considered Khamenei’s personal representatives in each city and province.

“Iran leader uses gymnast Aly Raisman in #MeToo video promoting the hijab,” by Ron Kampeas, Jewish News, October 4, 2018:

Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has a solution for all the #MeToo angst — the hijab.

The video he attaches to the tweet below runs through a number of prominent American women describing their experience of assault.

Aly Raisman, the Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast, is shown at the start of the 2-minute video.

The clip then segues into her testimony at the sentencing of the Olympic team doctor, Larry Nassar, who molested dozens of women and girls.

After that, Khamenei is shown speaking about how wearing a hijab can protect women from “deviation” (translation: getting assaulted) and how Islam does not allow sexual abuse or violence against women….

    And who are the main offenders? Why, Muslims of course!

    Who says there is no humour in Islam.

        I knew it!!!

        It’s similar to the situation in Europe.
        Oh, if the women would just stop going out alone, or at night, or to have a good time, and would just don a full covering sheet like the muslim women… then the rapes would stop…. it’s their own fault… etc. etc.!
        Oh, if the women would just dress like muslim women, then the sexual assaults would stop…..

        And by now you know how my mind works, we see B, then we are given some reference to A, and I think they did B to promote A in the long run on purpose. These celebrities do have ‘a role to play,’ that is for sure, and I see it in many ways.

      WHAT A LOAD OF BS, as rape is so common in muslim countries, that the words for it mean “to lie down”. + if you tell anyone, you are stoned to death for “adultery”, sex outside of marriage.

    Well let’s face it:he needs to wear the burqa himself ….and hide his face..in case any lusty male goats get excited by his sultry,hairy, appearance, mistake him for a tart and fall into a life of sin..

    “islam does not allow sexual abuse or violence against women”.Whaaaat???OhYES it does!

    Has his holiness not read the koran..k 4:24 etc?The hadith?Aisha’s complaint about being beaten by mo?
    Did he miss the bit about islam’s koranically-sanctioned wife beating,child brides and the perversion of polygamy?

    {Maybe “holy ” men should stay off twitter:if you ever want a laugh BTW..see pope francis’s tweets.

    “I don’t read the Bible.I listen to it” {4 June tweet 2018}he says.

    Amazing!
    Frankie doesn’t just read the Bible:he LISTENS to it{….a shame he doesn’t read it then because he seems to have either forgotten most of it or just gets a lot of things wrong by.. not reading it..as Catholics will tell you..}

    What a load of phoney,pretentious nonsense!Does he whistle that unofficial anthem of the vatican in the shower,Carmina Burana?Or “For I’m a jolly good fellow”?

    Does he “LISTEN” to the koran ,the book that he said of ” A proper reading of the Koran shows it to opposed to every form of violence”..given that it seems he didn’t actually READ it?

    And what would be the song of the koran?Cacophanous Death metal muzak…probably..

    And he says “If you say something I do not like,I have to listen even more”….
    Oh where to begin Frankie!..It’s a BIG list..

    God spare us from “holy” men…}

    No surprise they are co-opting MeToo; this is one of the primary weapons of the hijrah’s cultural transformation war, and really the civilization jihadi’s modus operandi, to manipulate our impressionable (moronic and gullible) seditious young social justice warriors with the use of tools like Linda Cockroach Sarsour into pushing the jihadist agenda for them, no matter how absurd the premise: i.e. the hijab being a symbol of liberation for women.

    Isn’t it interesting how islam gets a total pass from the MeToo-ers, as in the case of Keith Ellison (Hakim Muhammad), for instance, and the fact that islam itself is EASILY the worst rape culture in the history of humanity, and the most menacing threat to the freedom of women worldwide?

    Despite all of this, these muslims have been very adept at co-opting the selectively outraged proponents of misinformed, “woke” so-called movements” like this one, or Black Lives Matter.

    This “Mullah regime ” of Iran with its brutal harsh oppression of Islamic misogyny is heinously awful .
    So much that three things should be made known .

    First. that harsh brutal oppression of girls and women in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran has ,many times, becomes even worse the forcing females to wear hijab against their will . As this following example reveals.
    That heinously cruel and murderous Islamic tyranny of Iran is very brutal and vicious to the Iranian people. Especially regarding females. Both girls and women. For example a teenage girl in Iran was talking to her boyfriend on the phone and then the Islamic state “police” walked over to her and shot her dead. They did that wicked and malicious thing to her because she was talking to her boyfriend and they also didn’t like her clothing. [1] That was a clear cut case of murder and vicious Islamic madness by Iran’s Islamic state “ police”, who call themselves the “Revolutionary Guards”, they got away with their hideous and malice –filled evil because the mullahs as well as other villains in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime

    [1] A TIME TO BETRAY by Reza Kahlili page 240

    Second, about that ruthless cruel brutal tyrannical regime of Iran what so unfittingly has the word “Republic” in its title ,for its called “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” [ I R I]. On the topic of this Islamic tyranny a former Muslim revealed that “The IRI system recognizes women as dependent upon men and incomplete human beings who need to be supervised and controlled by men and the State. This author further exposed that “Women are created for the purposes of giving pleasure to men and child bearing – functions that confine them to the home” This is a male Chauvinistic as can possibly be. In addition this writer further makes it known that “The IRI legal system still retains traditional patriarchal bias that can be described as nothing but systemic subordination of women , which is undoubtedly a human rights violation .” This author further reveals that “Iran is of what Islamic fundamentalists desire, an Islamic State, and the consequence of achieving it “State Terror. Instead of utopia, Iran is an Islamic totalitarian nightmare…” and “the Islamic Republic of Iran exists and operates as what every Islamic fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia …What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premises; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1] This heinous Islamic has been also exposed by another author who was born and lived in a Middle Eastern nation for many years. She wrote “Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam…” and “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [2] All this is wicked, unjust and misogynistic to the extreme. Islam had not regard for human life, regardless of what the apologists for this religion will claim.

    [1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM BY Ibn Warraq. pages 345-347.
    [2] THEY MUST BE STOPPED by Brigitte Gabriel pages 62, 172

    Third,, a former Muslim revealed an important reality when he wrote “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
    Furthermore, in the book entitled HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD, by William Wagner on page 208 the reader is informed that “The creation of the Islamic republic in Iran has had the effect that many from that country have become disillusioned with Islam and are looking to leave.” This is a point worth pondering.

    [1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq page 347.

    Doing Aly Raisman’s spectacular gymnastic routines in hijab. Now that would be a sight to see. But of course that dirty old man Khamenei would forbid Aly the exercise of her extraordinary gymnastic skills in the first place. I’m with FYI — Body Bag the Ayatollah!

    As for that mullah regime” and the others in power this Islamic tyranny, they are so thoroughly misogynistic, brutal demonic, wicked, vicious and cruel that they will not change their malicious ways. As explain in the Bible “What is crooked cannot be straightened; which is lacking cannot be counted.” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.I.V.] Indeed, those malice -filled and hateful Muslim clerics who have much power in Iran along with the other Islamic stooges who rule Iran “cannot be counted” to make any chances for the better . The ayatollahs and mullahs in their likeminded Muslim partners in total governmental control of Iran are murderous hers ruthless and oppressive to the Iranian people who are trapped in forced to existed in this diabolical Islamic regime. As it is written in Proverbs 15:15. “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.” Likewise, Ecclesiastes 4:1 reads “ I saw the tears of the oppressed – and they have no comforter; power was in the side of the oppressors …” Furthermore ,Proverbs 28:15 very well describes such wicked characters who rule Iran as president Rouhani and ayatollah Khamenei . For it reads “Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.” Furthermore, such a vicious mindset of heinous arrogance of Rouhani, Khamenei and the other hateful and spiteful Islamic clerics in this “mullah regime” of Iran is reflected in the words from the Bible describing tyrannical villains in power of an oppressive regime. For Psalm 73:6—9 read “Therefore pride is their necklace:: they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil ;their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.”

    Here’s a scenario:
    1. Khamenei, in his near-infinite kindness (only Allah’s kindness is infinite), offers non-Muslim women a tactical manoeuvre that blindsides Muslim rapists: wearing the hijab.
    2. Non-Muslim women become indistinguishable from Muslim women.
    3. Muslim rape gangs zero in on other clues, both overt and subtle, such as a group of hijab-wearing women out for after-work cocktails and some fun.
    4. Khamenei’s near-infinite kindness is still at work and he encourages non-Muslim hijabis, when accosted my Muslim men, to simply say the shahada.
    5. They try this and lo, the rapists instantly back off.
    6. Khamenei issues a fatwa declaring all hijab-wearing non-Muslim women to be Muslim, instantly annulling their marriages and prohibiting the unmarried ones from marrying non-Muslims.
    7. Duped newly-Muslim women, not yet appreciating their new-found inferiority and subject status, give lip and start behaving like those disgraceful and irresponsible Iranian women of late, and continue living with their boyfriends and former husbands.
    8. The next Friday, after prayers, mass stonings begin in London.

    No, no, Ayatollah, please, you don’t understand. I’m not saying it actually happened. It’s made up, fiction, you know, like a novel—oh sh…

    Iran: Ayatollah Khameinei uses #MeToo to promote the hijab
    ………………….

    Rape is *rife* in the Muslim world. In a place where reporting rape can lead to charges of “Zina”–after all, the rape victim admitted having sex, but cannot prove the rape without four male witnesses–she is apt to wind up flogged, imprisoned, or even stoned to death, so women seldom report such crimes.

It even makes women to look more beautiful unlike your half-naked dressing appearing like group of monkeys. it is the satan god mithraist christians Call Holy Spirit who brainwashes mithraist Christian west to consider nudity as sign of civilisation, while it is a sign of savagery reviving stone age way of life.

      ……………………..

      Really, what could be more dignified than flogging and imprisoning women who don’t want to be immured in a Burqa? And only Muslims consider women’s faces to be pudenda.

      And of course thugs like Ibrahim itace muhammed does non consider this oppressive. He doesn’t consider the persecution and slaughter of unbelievers to be oppressive, either.

      More:

      Remember,it not Muslim men forcing women to wear it, muslim women believe that it is good to be modest.

      It is the satan mithraist christians Call Holy Spirit who inspires mithraist christian west to consider half naked dressing as a sign of civilisation, while it is a sign of savagery reviving stone age way of life
      ……………………..

      Note that Ibrahim itace muhammed deems a women being allowed to show her face or hair “stone age way of life”, but considers Muslims raping women and children and keeping them as sex slaves to be perfectly “modest” This is something he has specifically lauded, saying that no child is too young for a Muslim to “marry” and that sex slavery is perfectly Islamic.

    Muslim women are sexually assaulted. However, THEY are the ones who are punished for it…with “honor killings.” That is a strange idea of “honor!” And Muslim women are treated very badly by Muslim men. So the hijab and everything else Islamic only makes things worse… especially for women… but also for everyone else.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 7, 2018 at 11:22 pm

      True, Patsy. Women are also imprisoned or even stoned to death for reporting rape in the Muslim world:
