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

Iran: 2,000 new morality police units deployed to target “bad-hijabi women”

Jun 11, 2019 10:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Iran has introduced 2,000 new morality police units in reaction to what officials call an ‘increasing defiance’ of the compulsory wearing of hijabs. The units, called ‘resistance groups for verbal and practical response to bad-hijabi women'”

All while World Hijab Day is celebrated by avid Western “multiculturalists,” who are stooges of mainstream Muslim pressure groups that manipulate Western “diversity” programs. Multiculty gurus “tolerate” types such as UK Labor Leader Naz Shah, who retweeted that victims of Muslim rape gangs should “shut up for the good of diversity.”

Other “multiculturalists” have also supported initiatives which are denigrating to women and corrosive to democratic rights and freedoms for all. Some recent examples:

    • Declaring it bullying to ask Muslim nurses in the UK to put hygiene ahead of the hijab.
    • Following the New Zealand attacks, NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern took her “good intentions” to a new level. She not only ordered a national broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer, but she also donned a hijab.
    • Sports Illustrated in its swimsuit edition decided to be “inclusive” and feature a hijabi model.  Pity that such “inclusion” rubs salt in the wounds of oppressed women across the Islamic world who are forced to wear the hijab or otherwise face jail or worse.

These initiatives are encouraged by Islamic supremacist groups; their goal is to subvert the House of War. Nevertheless, they are embraced without question by Leftists eager to prove that they are “tolerant” and not “racist” — and of course the perks don’t hurt.

On behalf of tortured and oppressed women in Iran and elsewhere, let’s celebrate #NoHijabDay and stand in solidarity with Iranian women for #whitewednesdays.

“Iran introduces 2,000 new morality police units in response to women’s hijab protests,” by Ahmed Vahdat, The Telegraph, June 7, 2019:

Iran has introduced 2,000 new morality police units in reaction to what officials call an “increasing defiance” of the compulsory wearing of hijabs.

The units, called “resistance groups for verbal and practical response to bad-hijabi women”, were launched recently in the northern province of Gilan as part of a pilot scheme.

They are each made up of six women who have the power to arrest and detain those they deem to be flouting the country’s strict veiling laws.

The move comes amid a growing backlash by women in the Islamic Republic, hundreds of whom have been arrested for taking off their head coverings in public in protest at the law.

A campaign by rights activists called “White Wednesday” encouraging women to wear white and discard their hijabs has also gained support, much to the consternation of conservative clerics.

While Iran has had various forms of “morality police” since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the decision to increase their numbers as well as introduce all-female brigades, is a sign that authorities are adopting a tougher approach….

    So the government is using its police force to enforce a religious mandate. One might get the impression that religion and state are tightly joined together in Iran, and that there is no separation. Anyone who thinks that Islam is just a religion is wrong. Islam is a religion and a political force. Let it into your country at your own risk.

    Coincidentally, Pinterest just sent me a post that included photos of women in Afghanistan prior to the Taliban seizure of the country. In one, taken in the 1950s, two women dressed indistinguishably from Western women of that decade are shown checking out books in a library also indistinguishable from one in any American town. It is sobering and horrifying to note how quickly Islam can destroy the lives of women anywhere it seizes power.

      “It is sobering and horrifying to note how quickly Islam can destroy the lives of women anywhere it seizes power.”

      Absolutely true. Not only does Islam destroy the lives of women, it destroys the entire society.

      Afghanistan is one of many places that is no longer safe to travel to because of Islam.

      I have included a link to pre-Taliban Afghanistan from the dailymail:

        Yup, If I recall correctly Dr Timothy Leary ( Dr Acid) hid out in Afghanistan for a while once Libya asked him to leave back in the early 1970s. It was COMPLETELY different then.
        .
        I should look it up but got to much to do. I believe that was before, and I hate to say this since I despise ALL things Commie, the Soviets dragged Afghanistan into the 20th century for a decade or so.

    How sad, and how evil, that they are able to get women to enforce this slavery to islam on other women and girls. Guessing they found rabid scarf wearers or women too afraid not to wear them.

    Just recently met a young female surgeon from iran. I asked her if she was going to return or stay here, and she smiled and said she’s staying. No scarf for her; dark hair flowing freely.

    Those so called “morality police” of this brutal ,cruel misogynistic Islamic tyranny of Iran are are ,in reality, ruffians and thugs .

    To imprison women for not wearing the hijab is but one part of the anti-female tyranny of this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran.

    For that ruthless cruel brutal heinous l regime of Iran that is 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.

    Feminists who try to convince TV audiences that Islam is a feminist ideology are on some form of mind-control or drugs or both. A rational person refuses to accept that special apparel that hides and excludes women from social interaction or wife beating are in any manner ‘feminist’.

    A growing group of Muslim women are seeing that Islam is not feminist, but they are holding their fire until they have a sure chance of winning. They won the right to drive in Soddy Barbaria, and soon will have greater rights to vote. That is just the beginning of the coming revolution that will be strongly pushed by women in the Muslim world! Women have the most to gain in a reform within the Islamic countries.

      Women (and apostates) hold the key to the unraveling of islam’s web of lies, fear and brutality,

      And our part is to support them as vehemently as possible in their defiance of islam’s oppressive veil of tyranny and deception.

      These courageous women need the support now more than ever (as do the brave apostates), and it is the abandonment -en masse- of islamic headwear that will start the dominoes falling in the Muslim world, not free markets and capitalism, like Don Rumsfeld, George W Bush and his ventriloquist puppetmaster Dick Cheney so mistakenly thought.

      The importance of compulsory islamic head/body coverings cannot be underscored enough in facilitating islam to keep in place its shadow of fear and its stranglehold on the human soul, and as a symbol of islam’s inhumanity, spread visibly throughout the world, demoralizing the inhabitants of the lands under conquest by it.

      This is one hell of noble struggle these unbelievably brave, strong and determined women are engaged in, and no doubt there may be serious consequences for some of those engaged in it, but if this movement gets any real traction, it could potentially be the moment we’ve all been waiting for.

      Cross your fingers.

      Western so-called feminists (and I am generalizing, here) are the most reprehensible kinds of disingenuous phonies for completely ignoring the plight of Muslim women forced to live under the oppressive tyranny of islam.

      Once again -like with Antifa and other western lefty “activists”- these self-serving, self-obsessed, hormonal, puerile, infantile catharsis junkies and poseurs show us their true colors, and prove again that they have no guts, no real courage, and -even with their colored hair and pink pussy hats- no inclination to really step out and stand away even momentarily from the virtue-signaling herd of shrieking harpies, and risk being association with an unpopular opinion.

      When the real injustices occur, they are nowhere to be seen… silent as church mice.

      These poseurs know about the oppression of Muslim women under islam, they just won’t acknowledge it publicly… They are too scared to risk being ostracized by their respective herds, as well as the finger-pointing PC police, the selectively moral arbiters of virtue and warriors of make-believe social justice, fighting manufactured battles against their make-believe oppressors, the benign and docile enemies like the “white male patriarchy” who will never do anything to hurt them back.

      Their biggest problem is that they’ve been watching too much Game of Thrones.

      How long before these people get so sick of themselves, they just can’t stand their meticulously constructed farce anymore?

    This male Muslims who have been given an inappropriate title of “morality police” are actual female hate hoodlums. That those misogynistic “morality police’ are given a uniform to wear only proves the old Irish saying to be true . .The saying is “Dress a goat in silk and it’s still a goat.”

    For 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 .

    The brutal,cruel misogyny of this “Mullah regime” of Iran is most heinous. Thus as 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 , the Christian scholar, 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 Iran. ” This is a point worth pondering.

    Yes, Islam is determined to keep the human race, in any country where Islam is in command, living back in the unevolved 7th century hell that Muhammad claimed his deluded concept of god had said was the correct way to live. What a huge lead weight Islam is on human development. It’s the 21st century and islam wants to keep people living back in the 7th century in so many ways ( not just the misogyny). Islam is such a danger to the human race.

    Christine Williams Douglass put her finger on the problem of certain types of apparel in medicine … apparel that must be fussed with and adjusted, such as a nurse’s cap, doctor’s necktie or the Islamic veil. Apparel that must constantly be adjusted will absorb germs and spread infections. That’s why nurse’s caps are a thing of the past and neckties not considered hygienic. The Islamic veil is CERTAINLY NOT hygienic.

Iran and any nation that follows this type of compulsory wearing of such kinds of clothing is so far backwards that they should be completely shut off from the west until they come into the modern world …but of course CLOTHING is just a minor problem with Islamist and Islamic states….SPEAKING OF STATES…WHAT WOULD ONE THINK OF SOME STATES IN THE U.S. BEING ISLAMIC?? Hmmmmm..are we headed that direction?

    2,000, eh?

    Wow.

    This lays bare islam’s biggest weakness, doesn’t it?

    I will bet you that number has gone up by now: It is obviously terribly important for the mullahs to suppress the momentum of these extraordinarily brave women, and quash their movement immediately, and do so at all costs.

    The mass deployment of the “morality police” tells you that the mullahs know if they let this one get past them and grow any further, it could potentially cause the unraveling of the whole system, and this is not just the microcosm of Iran we are talking about, but islam itself, globally! The eyes of the Muslim world are all on this one. This showcases islam’s weakness to the world, and tells us the key to defeating this oppressive ideology..

    And it underscores the need for solid support and protecton of apostates -which these women are basically declaring themselves to be with their defiance of this one of many of the oppressive component of islam- and the like whenever and wherever they dare oppose the ideology of islam.

    Islam’s sharia apostasy law is the plug that holds back the flood and the exodus from islam, and is the glue that holds the entire ideology together. If neutered and defanged, the apostasy death penalty is thereby rendered ineffectual, and Muslims will begin abandoning that oppressive system in droves.

    It needs to become widely known that Muslims will not actually pay the ultimate price and suffer the death penalty for leaving islam.

    This is a big deal. Any support these women can be given is hugely important.

    That’s 12,000 jobs specifically made for women – whoa, I never thought that Iran was so into empowering women… /sarc. off

    Well, I say “sarc. off” but I truly woudn’t be surprised if islamo-apologectic “feminists” actually argued that non-ironically, non-sarcastically and with a straight face…
