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

Muslim cleric calls for murder of US-based women’s rights activist for criticizing Iran’s ban on women cycling

Jun 27, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Has this cleric ever protested against Qur’an-sanctioned violence against women? What do you think?

Another cleric in Iran sends me death threats.

Recently, I had challenged Islamic Republic of Iran’s ban on women’s cycling. They say “it provokes men”

Historically, their own saints like Zeinab & Zahra had ridden camels.Why isn’t that provocative?

“Iranian cleric’s call to kill activist challenging country’s ban on women cycling,” by Simon MacMichael, road.cc, June 18, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An Iranian cleric has called on followers to “kill” an award-winning journalist and women’s rights campaigner after she challenged the country’s ban on women cycling.

Masih Alinejad, who lives in exile in the United States, posted a video to Twitter in which the unnamed cleric insisted she should be punished for apostasy – the rejection or renunciation of a religious faith.

“You’ve seen accursed Masih Alinejad and her insult to Saint Zeinab,” he said.

“How do you think we should punish this accursed hooligan?

“She should be punished for apostasy. This accursed person should be punished for apostasy.

“If no-one can kill her, she should at least lead an underground life.

“She provokes our youth – ‘If someone tells you not to ride a bike, tell them this. Talk about Zeinab, Zahra’.”

Making reference to the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie following the publication of the novel The Satanic Verses, he said: “Wasn’t there another infidel abroad who had said something against Islam? He was considered an apostate and killed.

“How about Salman Rushdie? He still lives underground,” the cleric added.

In 2016, Iran’s supreme leader issued a fatwa forbidding women from cycling – with some posting videos to social media of them riding their bikes in response.

A video of a mother and daughter riding their bikes was posted to Facebook group My Stealthy Freedom, founded by Alinejad….

    Oh well, seems to be the NoNews media’s lack of apprising the people it purports to serve. This brave lady, Masih Alinejad, should be held in the highest regard but unfortunately no one will read about her unless that person reads news sites like Jihad Watch, BNI, Gatestone and other true news sites.

    Islamic women are despised by all Islamic males (men).

    Muslim cleric is such a cool concept. Like good-smelling dog turd, peaceful islam, fast snail etc.

    So this Iranian cleric said:

    “If no-one can kill her, she should at least lead an underground life.”

    A fatwa – with no expiration date.

    No wonder it’s so hard to leave islam…

      No wonder they get along so well with the Left.

      These Muslim clerics get along well with Allah, and know what Allah wants.
      Best of all, these holy men know when Allah is not deceiving them.

      Narrated Razooli, “One morning a Prophet’s messenger was sleeping on his prayer rug during Fajr, when a young mujahideen awakened him with a blast of his bicycle horn. “Oh wise, young cleric with no zebibah, in what manner comes to you knowledge of Allah’s will for cyclists ?”

      The perturbed cleric replied, “With which hand did you blow your horn to awaken me ——— from prayer?” The young warrior replied, “Of my left, certainly.”

      “Then I shall not reveal to you what you need not know, but you may know by Allah’s fancy that, should your death be pleasing to Allah, only one of the 72 virgins promised you in Paradise is a cyclist and provoker. Such is Allah’s benevolence and mercy toward cycling houris. Now, young lion, depart from me as I continue my prayers.”

    The correct response to this turd should be.
    This is my address, if you want to talk about the fatwa.
    Bring lots of mates and lots of body bags,,,you’ll need them for your mates.

    What a gutless piece of excrement. Doesn’t have the balls to do it himself so tells his brain dead followers to do it for him.

      Keith I second your viewpoint
      Right on
      That is the language to use when dealing with these kind of people

    Muslim cleric calls for murder of US-based women’s rights activist for criticizing Iran’s ban on women cycling
    ………………….

    Bloody thug. Oppressing women and calling for murder of anyone who calls them on it–both cornerstones of the horror of Islam.

      And a coward too, gravenimage.

      Would pay to see this Muslim turkey beaten up by a young female who is well schooled in the martial arts. Ain’t gonna’ watch the NFL anymore so this would be a very suitable substitute, preferably while having a couple of beers and a BLT.

        Sounds good, Wellington. Perhaps a Gal Godot look-alike…

        Wellington says,

        “Would pay to see this Muslim turkey beaten up by a young female who is well schooled in the martial arts.”

        So would I…

        Every once in a while, someone unknowingly messes with the wrong person. I know a forty something female physician colleague quite well. She is very attractive and very physically fit. She also has a black belt in Taekwondo and always packs a CCW .380 Sig Sauer.

        My wife’s cousin is a Navy SEAL. The real deal. If you saw him walking down the street he looks like a medium height and medium build guy that works out a lot. That being said, he could neutralize three thugs in short order – even without the use of weapons.

        On a much lighter note, it can happen in sports. My own father became a pretty good golfer when he was in his mid 60s. He would often shoot in the mid-70s, much to the chagrin of the twentysomethings and thirtysomethings that he was playing against in the local club matches.

          Jun 28, 2020 at 1:17 pm

          Inspirational narrations, James. Thanks.

          My father was an ophthalmologist and an avid golfer. He was on the varsity golf team at Penn State and even in his later years could sometimes still break 80.

    “Muslim cleric calls for murder…” Religion of peace indeed.

    What the HELL is it with bloody Muslim men and the oppression of women? Are the SCARED of females? Is THAT it? I bet they know that Muslim women could reform Islam and make it truly peaceful and then these ghastly men couldn’t assault, torture, main and kill women and girls. THAT’S WHY Muslim females need to be kept’ in their place’. I wish our God would strike them all dead! I hate these Islamic male heathen bastards so bloody much, so help me God!

    The Moslem woman in England says “Islam has discussion.”

    This imam is a failure to discus.

  13. Battle says

    Jun 29, 2020 at 4:06 am

    The imam is repeat offender conspiracy to commit murder criminal.

    Mashi Alinejad: Where are the women imams?

      That’s un-Islamic.
