Women such as the one in the video are the real feminists, who are taking actual risks to stand up for women’s rights. Meanwhile, Leftist feminists in the West are donning the hijab, the symbol of oppression against which these Iranian women are rebelling, in order to show solidarity with women who they claim are oppressed in the West for wearing the hijab. The real oppression is elsewhere.

“Shocking moment Iranian woman is dragged across the street and beaten as crowd cheers – because she was dancing in public and did not wear a hijab,” by Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, June 18, 2019:
This is the shocking moment an Iranian woman is dragged across the street and beaten as the crowd cheers because she was dancing and not wearing a hijab.
The woman can be seen standing in the central reservation of a busy road as she is jeered by men in the city of Rasht, on Iran’s Caspian Sea coast.
A crowd appear to be in a stand-off with the woman before a few men approach her, with one grabbing her around the head and forcing her to the ground.
He then takes hold of her ankles and brutally drags her over the tarmac, prompting a massive cheer from the crowd of men.
After she is released she gets to her feet and goes towards her attacker you knocks her onto her backside with a hit to the face.
According to Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad she was set upon because her head was uncovered and she was dancing.
The victim can be heard shrieking throughout the footage as men laugh in the background.
The video then cuts to her having been released and walking away, though clearly still traumatised by what has just gone on.
The Islamic dress code, in place since the 1979 revolution, considers veiling obligatory for any female above 13 in Iran and says they should cover themselves from head to toe while disavowing any figure-hugging dress.
Breaking the rules can result in fines of up to 500,000 rials (£17) and up to two months in prison….
Nicu says
what pitiful cowards are these ” MEN” getting aroused by hair so they cannot control themselves they should cut their ugly beards instead . Oppressing women for they are scared of them !
Amil says
They are not cheering. They are booing!!
Dan says
After listening, it’s hard to tell. But if they are booing, how do we not know they’re booing HER?
I’ve spent enough time in muslim cultures to believe, whether booing or cheering, the crowd was AGAINST her and FOR her assailant.
smoris says
Let’s all copy these links about hijab crimes and then on International Hijab Day, let’s all put them on our facebook pages and send them to all our contacts. Will facebook kick everyone off who does this? It needs no comment – just the story plain and simple.
gravenimage says
No one came to her aid–the idea that these men are booing her assailants seems unlikely.
christianblood says
US allies, Saudi Arabia, Al-Qaeda and ISIS do gruesome public beheadings and crucifixions routinely and the US and the fagheaded Western MSM just ignore them! In fact, the US is giving their head-chopping Saudi buddies hundreds of billions in arms and including nuclear technology! Shame! Shame!

The only real excuse for dealing with the Saudis at all is the hope (and intent) of eventually witnessing and preferably enabling the fall of that barbaric regime.
Angemon says
CB going to a news article that doesn’t portray Iran in a favorable light and rambling about how terrible allegedly the US is? I’m shocked, SHOCKED!!!!!
In any case, this – the persecution of women – is part of what you stand for, CB – please find me a poster here with a view of Saudi Arabia as favorable of your view of the genocidal, human-right-trampling, women-abusing, Christian-murdering Iran.
BVC says
I rest my case, CB.
gravenimage says
Saudi Arabia is indeed horrifying–as everyone here agrees–but christianblood has to pretend we do not.
Then, this video starts with ISIS beheading an American–he is, in fact, using what an abused victim is forced to say to (supposedly) prove that the West is responsible for the horrors of Shari’ah law.
Finally, of course, he doesn’t say *anything* critical of the treatment of this women by his beloved Mullahs.
But then, why would he? He has consistently refused to condemn forced veiling in Iran and Chechnya, either trying to distract from it (as here), or, in the case of the latter, actually lauding it.
But then, he has cheered abuse of women many times, including marital rape and domestic abuse. *Ugh*.
Mary says
They don’t need to cut their beards they need to cut their testicles off.
Terry Gain says
According to Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad she was set upon because her head was uncovered and she was dancing.
…………
The woman in the video who was knocked down has a head covering of some kind.
Westman says
Yes, and her apparel appears more like a colorful shear dancing costume. She also appears to be wearing platform high heels that would also trigger the “morality” police.
There is so little background information of who, what, where, why, and when, that one cannot determine if she was dragged out of a building where there was dancing or was dancing in the street.
The certain takeaway is Iran’s women are always at risk from the religion that instructs men that women are inferior and unbelieving women are worthless objects.
The cheering crowd also points to the active, inactive-approval problem of Islam where the community claims to be peaceful and then quietly or openly approves of violent actions, usually attacks by Muslim males.
gravenimage says
Yes–she does have a Hijab. It is not tightly tied, though, and exposes some of her hair even before she is assaulted.
NotALibNoMo says
It’s typical behavior for allah’s ackbarbarians. Note that when muslim women cheat, they do so with Jewish men, who are known to be patient, kind, gentle lovers. It’s also a fact that no muslim man has ever been able to pleasure a woman. This explains their penchant to have the sex organs of women removed, so they can’t feel pleasure. It’s all about the islam.
gravenimage says
I take your point, but there are not a lot of Jewish men in most of the Muslim world.
revereridesagain says
I am, a this point, just waiting for the day every entertainment and “news” outlet is showing nitwit narcissist Taylor Swift prancing across a stage in a playsuit and hijab, with a chorus of Muslim male (because there are no Muslim “men”) dancers, telling us we “have to calm down and stop being Islamophobic”. Because it’s coming, mark my words!
I get sick having to watch that kind of idiocy knowing that the women (and men) who fight for the rights of girls and women trapped in the Islamic hellhole world to be free of cutting, beating, covering, forced marriages and honor killings are being called “phobes” and “racists” and barred from the same outlets that are falling all over themselves to be the first to feature hijabed women, as just occurred on “Jeopardy” last night. With a young person it is always difficult to judge whether she might be under pressure from family and Islamic authority figures, but the intent of the network to feature a covered teenage girl on a show featuring students of exceptional intelligence is all to obvious.
somehistory says
It appears that she does have a head-covering, scarf of some sort. But as she is moving around without a male escort, that would be *reason* enough for a beating. Besides that, she may have spoken to one of the male beasts, saying something he didn’t like to hear coming from a woman.
Whatever the case, islam has no value, no virtue, no merit…only demonic evil, unholy filth from satan the devil. The worse things get, the more proof shown that it is nearing the hour when God will take action against these worshippers of satan.
Otherwise, as Christ said, “No flesh would be saved (Matthew 24:22).”

At the same time, there are art exhibitions in Germany glorifying the niqab and women choosing for the veiled life – subsidized by taxpayers’ money.

Suicidal insanity.
revereridesagain says
Iranian law is quite specific about what their females are allowed to wear. As in several other regimes, they don’t just want them covered up. They want them dark and gloomy covered up, as if they were invisible in mobile prisons that advertise their non-personhood or ownership by some Muslim male. A sheer colorful costume on a dancing unaccompanied woman is a rebuke to these wannabe men because she is flaunting her freedom from their control.
(christianblood and NotALibNoMo, thanks for “fagheaded” and “ackbarbarians”, I love to sprinkle my references with variations on nicknames for the slaves of Allah and those are two of the best yet.)

When questioned about the Hadith that says “Isn’t the witness of two women equal to that of one man and the woman said yes.” Imam Mazin Abdul-Adhim of London, Ontario, CANADA said “This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind, Allah says.”
Women captives of jihad may be forced to have sex with captors (now owners).
Slavery is allowed. Male owners may have sex with their slave women, even prepubescent slave girls.
Slaves may be beaten.
A woman inherits half of what a man does.
Husbands may hit their wives.
A man may have 4 wives.
Justine Trudeau insisted on CBC radio in 2016, “Islam is not incompatible with Western, secular democracy.”
STOP BEING SO ISLAMOPHOBIC ALL YOU JIHADWATCHERS.
Walter Sieruk says
The 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 examples reveal.
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 .
In addition, 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.” [2] 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.” [3] 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.

islam
With the commandment-of God violating,demonic, savagery of its “holy” koran

A false ,mass murdering,fat, psycopathic,self confessed false prophet, poisoned dwarf ,muhammed
A false pagan god of hate and evil:al LAH the “best of deceivers”k3:54
satan’s own religion:islam
Scourge of humanity;the religion of antiChrist
A religion whose child-raping “prophet” muhammed said that the reason the koran say women are HALF the value of a man in testimony is because of “the DEFICIENCY of a woman’s mind.”
And linda sarsour,the witch of sharia, says muhammed was a feminist!
take note of that you silly western feminists and female converts to islam;what you see in the video is
the TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN’S VALUE in the evil murder cult of islam.
false god,false prophet,false scripture;only the truly blind and stupid refuse to see how EVIL and FALSE islam is.
Dano says
The fact that leftist feminist women of the West don the hijab as a show of solidarity with this group shows just how screwed up they are. I don’t see them at the forefront of the fight against organized mass rap and genital mutilation performed in the West by the same group.

Very Unfortunate, even in 201st Centuary, Savagery is Practiced believing the Myth without any Evidence.
Terra Nova says
It has always surprised me, that people are going to watch and start cheering or booing and can watch that. I saw that at stoning too in SA. They even pick up more stones which are put there on the square to help stoning a woman. These people can never live in harmony with the Western World. And long ago we might have done those things too, but there has to be an end to all this, and that end needs to be NOW.
And the one who wants more proof, has mud in his eye and does not want to see the truth.

This is what Islam is like.
Giacomo Latta says
Judging from the bravery of the average Iranian male in the video, all the West has to do is send one armed soldier into that country and then it’s regime-change time.
Linde Barrera says
Please everyone, pray to the one true God Incarnate to appear to Iranians and change their minds and hearts. Pray that they accept The Triune God and abandon Islam.
Thank you Mr. Spencer, and everyone who writes for Jihad Watch. Without you, many would not know the truth about Islam and its horrible doctrines and inhumane customs.

Just remember , this is a FILTHY radical Shia Islam of the Iranian kind……these subhuman Iranian Mullahs are very brutal even with their own revolutionary Shia people let alone with an innocent citizen…..
