“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
Terror is the only tool in the mullahs’ tool box. If it doesn’t work, they’re done for.
“Iran Protests: 9-Year-Old Shot Dead; Death Toll among Minors Reaches 57,” by Shankhyaneel Sarkar, News 18, November 19, 2022:
The deaths of dozens of children involved in the demonstrations against the authorities in Iran have sparked anger in the West Asian nation. On Friday, mourners gathered at a funeral of a 9-year-old Iranian boy shot during one of the protests chanted for the death of Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The protests in Iran are being led by young people and many school children and college-goers have attended the protests. Several teenagers have been shot dead and many of these young protesters faced police brutality during the protests which are going on for more than a month….
Human-rights groups in Iran said that out of 381 protesters, 57 were minors. The deaths of the minor have added to fire to the flames as the authorities find it hard to suppress the protests.
On Friday, thousands attended the funeral of nine-year-old Kian Pirfalak who died this Wednesday during a protest in the southwestern Iranian city of Izeh.
Kian was not participating in the protest but was inside the car with his father when they encountered a large crowd and a heavy police force deployed to contain them. The mother said the police personnel fired bullets towards the car injuring her husband and killing her son.
Mourners chanted “Death to Khamenei” during the funeral….
The government said seven people died in Izeh and attributed Kian’s death to a terrorist attack. They claim two gunmen on motorbikes attacked security forces with Kalashnikov rifles, according to the report by the Wall Street Journal.
Kian’s mother denies this and holds the police responsible for killing her son….
The use of force in Iran’s remote provinces has taken a toll on the ethnic minorities that live there and has also impacted minors. In eastern Iran’s Zahedan, at least 10 minors were killed on September 30 when security personnel fired indiscriminately at a crowd.

This is really barbarous. No further comments. Children are considered the representatives of God and how can anyone do this unless they are worst of the worst more than the barbarians.

Uma, this is simply the desperate actions of dictators trying to hold on to power and control.
The Karma bus is headed their way. I cannot see the people nor history being forgiving of the vermin.

So sad the West looks on and offers zero assistance, not just to Iranians wanting freedom but also non-Muslims in other nations like Nigeria being massacred by Muslims. At the very least we should send them weapons to defend themselves.
Biden left billions of dollars of military hardware for the Taliban, why can’t he do that for the good guys?
NoBurkas says
The adherents to the MURDEROUS IDEOLOGY of ISLAM are also committing genocide on the Pygmies in the DRC, and the U.N. watches it happen and does nothing!

How can these people living in the 21st Century, continue to live and think in the 8th Century? The allies defeated Hitler and his evil regime, and yet this evil theocratic regime continues. How?
Alkflaeda says
I suppose being shot is better than what IS did to a bunch of children, namely putting them in a wooden cage to which they then set fire. Demonic possession is the only possible way to account for so-called radicalisation. The only things that Allah and the God of the Bible have in common, are being male and having an interest in the Middle East.
Walter Sieruk says
That Islamic regime of Iran is so horrendously evil that it’s armed forces even murders children.
Likewise the many murders of the Iranian protester by those in power in Iran in that Islamic tyrannical oppressive vicious cruel and deadly affront to all that is good decent just and right.
As for Ebrahim Raisi and other higher ups, as Khamenei in that heinous tyranny I malicious orders are both despicable and unconscionable.
In addition , there is an old Latin saying that the Iranian people need to heed regarding those wicked oppressive tyrants that they exist under. That saying is ‘nil carborundum illegitimi” Which means “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”
For Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei along with the other ayatollahs and mullahs who al have such terrible influence in Iran’s parliament are all indeed, bastards. Meaning they are all, as it’s been termed “Bastards of the Devil.”
For such dictators who viciously oppress the people are a reflection of the Bible’s book of Ecclesiastes which in 4:1 reads” I saw the oppressed – and they have no comforter: power was on the side of their oppressors.” [N.I.V.]
Likewise, in Proverbs 15:15 reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched.”
