The idea is to humiliate and degrade them, and by raping them, to deny them a place in paradise, for in Islam it is entirely the woman’s responsibility to prevent a man from being tempted (hence the hijab, chador, niqab, burqa), and if he is tempted anyway, it’s her fault.
“Exclusive: ‘Was forced to strip, govt uses sexual violence against female protesters,’ says Iranian Christian activist,” by Annu Kaushik, Firstpost, October 17, 2022:
In 2020, Mary Mohammadi was taken to a detention center near Iran’s capital Tehran. Officials told her that her hair was visible.
In the basement of the all-female detention center, Mary was forced to strip.
“If my hair is a problem, is it not a problem to force me to take off all my clothes? Is this Islamic?,” Mary told Firstpost in an exclusive conversation.
The incident was part of the sexual violence that the regime has been using to suppress female protesters and activists, Mary said.
“During protests, security personnel touch female demonstrators inappropriately. They want to make women fearful of stepping out,” she said.
24-year-old Mary has been on the radar of Iranian officials for several reasons. Born to a Muslim family, she converted to Christianity in 2017.
Christian converts and other religious minorities like the Bahais are not recognised in Iran.
Over the last few years, Mary has faced persecution from the authorities in the form of arrests and interrogations due to her faith as well as activism.
The personnel who transferred her to the detention center in 2020 belonged to the morality police which is currently in the eye of the storm due to the death of Mahsa Amini which has triggered nationwide protests in Iran.
But it’s not just the morality police who target women for not wearing the mandatory hijab or a head scarf or wearing it improperly.
According to Mary “radical Muslims do it too.”
In 2019, Mary was on a bus in Tehran. It was a hot day and she had taken off her hijab. Suddenly a fully veiled woman approached Mary and asked her to cover her hair.
“When I refused, an argument ensued during which the woman attacked me & my face was left bloodied,” Mary said.
The activist somehow managed to take the woman to the police station. According to Mary, the officers dissuaded her from filing a complaint and even threatened her with arrest.
“They (police) were very kind to that woman. They let her go at 10 pm but kept me in custody till 3 am,” she added.
“Radical Muslims can even attack minorities in public because the regime is behind them,
“Islamic hijab is mandatory in Iran even for non-Muslims. I am a Christian but I must wear hijab,” she said.
Mary’s activism and faith also took a personal toll. Without giving any reason, her university barred her from appearing in exams.
But what was more hurtful for Mary was the treatment meted out to her by a former employer who was also a close friend.
“The gymnast training center where I worked was shut down during the COVID lockdown. I kept asking my employers when I can return and they told me and they are still closed,” Mary said.
One day, the activist turned up at the center unannounced and saw that it was fully operational.
Mary was not given her job back and believes that her employer and the university faced pressure from the authorities.
Constant threats that Mary said were from the authorities forced her to flee Iran in February 2022. The activist who is currently living in the US told Firstpost that in her home country security forces “continue to use sexual violence in the ongoing protests.”…

Sounds like female devotees to the evil are lusty like their male counterparts. why else would the mozlum order this Christian lady to cover her hair? It is no surprise that she didn’t get help from the *police*…more devout mozlums; only that they didn’t lock her up and beat her for not wearing the ugly scarf.
the young girl raped and murdered in France, suffered at the hands of a female mozlum from Algeria.
islam is evil, and those who follow it *religiously* with devotion, are too.

“islam is evil, and those who follow it *religiously* with devotion, are too.”
Agreed, somehistory. Islam in all its “pureness” is the very embodiment of evil. It “anticipates” other totalitarian evils like Marxism and Nazism by some 1400 years. No wonder both Bertrand Russell and Winston Churchill, though differing on political matters extensively, nonetheless, both of them, compare Islam to both Marxism and fascism.
Yes, mankind ended up with a major religion (N.B., I never call Islam “great”—this I reserve for other major religions like Christianity and Buddhism) that is filled with malevolence. It goes by the name of “Islam.” It’s a curse to the human race and I am tired of so many non-Muslims not “getting” this. They have no excuses left.

thank you, Wellington.

Yes–Muslims consider themselves “chaste” if they rape women and boys and use them as sex slaves–but wearing a loose Hijab calls for the death penalty. Islamic “morality”.
Dave says
Compared to Christians in Iran people in the West who whine and sometimes riot about their own victimization should try to put things in perspective. In Iran if an organization was formed with the acronym HLM (Human Lives Matter) and it didn’t steal it’s received donations, the Supreme Council would abolish it under some false pretense. And that would only be the beginning of it’s disregard for the human rights of the group/s members. The Supreme Council of Iran actively and enthusiastically pursues the suffering of innocent people.

Iran: Christian activist forced to strip, says Islamic regime uses sexual violence against female protestors
………………………………………….
Yes–any unveiled woman can be raped–this is orthodox Islam.
More:
“If my hair is a problem, is it not a problem to force me to take off all my clothes? Is this Islamic?,” Mary told Firstpost in an exclusive conversation.
………………………………………….
Mary Mohammadi is a civilized person; she does not understand what Islam teaches. These Muslim thugs see no contradiction here.
More:
“Islamic hijab is mandatory in Iran even for non-Muslims. I am a Christian but I must wear hijab,” she said.
………………………………………….
This is also true. Muslims in the West often lies and say that Shari’ah law only applies to Muslims, and not to non-Muslims–but this claim is given the lie all over Dar-al-Islam.
I hope that Mary Mohammadi stays safe–she has three strikes against her: resisting Hijab and the Chador, being Christian, and being an apostate from Islam. A *very* brave woman.

islam is a Fascist Religious Cult in every meaning of those three words.
Hank says
Mary Mohammadi must be suffering with that family name constantly reminding her of Mr Mo and his dictates. A name from Persia’s Zoroastrian past, before Islam invaded, would give her less anguish.

First that awful treatment that this Iranian Christian activist had received from that regime’s thugs show just how fearful those in control of that Tyrannical Islamic regime are of losing all their power.
Second, it would be naive not to understand the those mullahs and ayatollahs didn’t have a hand in having their stooges , who are Islamic state police, the Revolutionary Guard s arrest so many Christians because those in power in the Islamic tyranny are ruthless and cruel.
Third, this is further proof that Islam is such a weak and fragile religion that the arrest of those few Christians was felt necessary by the ayatollah, mullah and imams of Iran. For those Muslim clerics are afraid that if the Iranian people even have a chance to examine and thus compare and contrast the Bible and the Quran the people of Iran might discover that the Bible of the super of those two books.
Since the foundation for the tyrannical regime of the Islamic “Republic” of Iran is based on the Quran, which is also the entire foundation for of Islam, the Muslim clerics fear that their power base might collapse. So, the arrests and sentencing to death of Christians reveals extreme fear those Muslim clerics have of the Bible, For this also show that those Muslim clerics in power in that “mullahs’ regime” of Iran will use. the Islamic state police and their tools to stop Christians and keep the Iranian people in in ignorance of the Bible and in the darkness of Islam.
Forth, those mullahs and ayatollahs and imams of Iran with their falsehoods and deceptions of the many false doctrines of Islam in which they brainwash the Iranian people in believing is something that is both sad and tragic. Those ayatollahs and mullahs are, no doubt, just as deluded as the people who they thoroughly indoctrinate with false teachings of Islam. Of such demonic deception by false teachers who are also deluded such men a have been predicted in the Bible. For in the Bible, it’s written that “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.” Second Timothy 3:13. [K.J.V.]
All those mullahs and ayatollahs are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers. Meaning false teachers who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others. Such false teachers are described in the in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”
In addition, it should be made clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being, as the destruction of well- being. That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.
Walter Sieruk says
The terrible treatment by the officials of that Islamic regime reflects that tyranny’s own weakness, anti- Christian hate and misogyny of the filled tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran
As for vicious misogyny of that Islamic tyranny it was revealed by a scholar of Islam who revealed in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
