Iran is the center of Shia Islam. Some of the holiest Shia shrines are located there, as well as Shi’ite Islam’s leading figure, the Supreme leader and Marja Ayatollah Khamenei. Since Iran’s judicial system is rooted in the Sharia, women are expected to be covered, as commanded in the Quran so that “she not be abused” (Quran 24:31 and 33:59), even though many still insist that the wearing of the covering is cultural and intended by countries like Iran as a statement of anti-Western sentiments.
Considering the devotion of Iran to the Sharia, it is only a “shocking moment” to Western sensibilities to see “Iranian ‘morality cops’ use a dog-catcher’s pole to haul a woman into a police van ‘for failing to wear a veil.’” Sharia-sanctioned abuse is the norm in Iran.
What should be widely deemed more shocking is that most Westerners choose to turn a blind eye to such astounding human rights abuses in the name of Islam, allow its doctrine to proliferate inside Western countries, call normative Islam a religion of peace and actually accept the “Islamophobia” subterfuge, which is pushed by Islamic supremacists to protect their religion (Sharia-sanctioned human rights abuses included) from scrutiny.
Today in Iran.
Soon enough Taliban would do the same again to the women of Afghanistan.

“Shocking moment Iranian ‘morality cops’ use a dog-catcher’s pole to haul a woman into a police van ‘for failing to wear a veil,’” by Chris Pleasance, MailOnline, October 20, 2021:
This is the moment a woman was violently arrested in Iran using what appears to be a dog-catching pole for failing to wear a headscarf.
Video of the arrest posted online last week shows the woman being dragged by her hair through the streets of Tehran while seemingly snared by the catch pole, before being bundled into a ‘morality police’ van.
Masih Alinejad, a prominent Iranian women’s rights campaigner who uploaded the footage, said the woman was arrested for failing to wear a head covering – mandatory for women in the Islamic Republic.
She dismissed Tehran police deputy chief Colonel Morad Moradi who said the woman had actually been arrested for being ‘insulting and aggressive’, saying police often ‘make up other charges’ for women who breach morality laws.
‘Unveiled women [are accused] of prostitution or creating moral corruption,’ she said. ‘[Police] are worried about how these videos causing negative reactions.’
The footage, taken at an unknown location in Tehran, shows the woman – with her head exposed – being wrangled by security officers into the side of a van.
One female officer, who is fully veiled, can be seen grabbing the woman’s hair while another holds her arm and a third drags her using what appears to be a dog snare.
The woman is then bundled into the van, hitting her head against the roof in the process, before the door is shut and the vehicle moves away.
Moradi told semi-official news agency ISNA that the woman was being ‘aggressive’ towards officers before she was restrained, and said further charges had been brought by a local shop owner but refused to give details.
He also declined to say whether the woman was injured during the arrest, though pledged the footage would be investigated.
Ms Alinejad also dismissed those claims, suggesting it is a ‘big lie’ that officers will be held to account for using excessive violence.
‘Last time when morality police savagely beat women, police showed the same reaction,’ she said.
‘But as soon as the atmosphere calmed down, they prosecuted the woman who filmed it.’…

There is no such thing as Islamophobia, how can you have an unnatural fear of something so terrible as normal Islam.

I often meet people in the West who defend Islam. They insist that Islam does not require wearing the hijab or veiling, and point to some Muslim country that does not require this. Or they point to their copy of the Koran and say it does not include the most awful sharia laws. Probably they have an abridged expurgated copy. Or they say that the same things are in the Koran as in Christian Bibles, including Jesus or Moses. And they say it is only radical extremists who commit jihad crimes and not true Muslims. So, my experience is consistent with what I learn from jihad watch and Bill Warner or Robert Spencer or Jamie Glazov.

MOHAMMED SAID THE SIGHT OF A WOMAN, A DOG OR AN ASS ANNULS A MAN’S PRAYER … Sahih Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 1038
Masruq reported: It was mentioned before’A’isha that prayer is invalidated (in case of passing) of a dog, an ass and a woman (before the worshipper). Upon this ‘A’isha said: You likened us to the asses and the dogs.
So naturally, the Shi’ite fanatics treat women like dogs. Islam is NOT BENIGN.

They won’t tell you there’s societal obligation for wearing hijab on Muslim society
In schools (even public ones), hijabless girls are often shamed upon by their Muslim “friends” for not wearing that piece of shit clothing.
They won’t tell this, because their parents either agreeing with that, or they are afraid being pointed as “Anti Islam” and get defamed as “Kafir”/Infidel.
This is the reality…

France is to blame for what happened to secular Iran. The leftists were fully entertaining and accommodating Islam and even flew the Ayatollah Khomeini to Tehran who was living in Paris. The ghastly result of accommodating Islam can today be seen in France itself.

Hank, France never should have given the appalling Ruhollah Khomeini asylum.
Then, he rented an Air France plane to return to Iran–your jimplication that the government of France paid for this is mistaken.
Then, it is now over forty years since he left France. The idea that no one in Iran liked Islam but were simply forced into this by France simply does not hold water.

And the “female” who was pulling hair….how does anyone know for sure *it* was female? If so, bet *she* feels powerful for having helped snare another female.
Does NYC still have its “morality” police, mozlums roaming about in police cars, looking for those who break the **lawless** code of behavior for mozlums?
Do they also have the dog-catchers hook? Coming to a town near everyone…unless Armageddon comes first.
Henry Schalk says
Undercover secret policeman? Sure looks likely.

Moves more like a guy in “drag” as he helps drag the poor woman.
Henry Schalk says
Yes, and the other plain clothes cops have no doubt, or hesitancy about the Burka clad cop managing the weight and struggle into the van.
somehistory says
I agree.
Keith O says
Some of the worst of human behaviours seem to be entrenched in Islam.
Despotic regimes always seem to bring out the worst in humans, for instance, Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Cambodia under Pol Pot, and of course any country or region that is under the sandal of Islam.
Add to this the engrained barbaric behaviours that are endemic within Islam and we have a sure fire path to hell for all who live there.
OLD GUY says
Islam teaches hate and violence against non believers and those who it deems not following strict islamic laws. How exactly is this going to workout in America? The clash of laws between our legal system and Islamic law will keep the lawyers in business for years. Or will Islamophobia cure the problem? I doubt it.

This is horrible–but in no way surprises me.
