Iran is the world’s representative Shia state. To expect the Islamic Republic to change course in order to suit infidel ideals of human rights is to expect its mullahs and ayatollahs to disobey the Sharia. The Qur’an instructs:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only what is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment except to their own husbands or fathers or husbands’ fathers, or their sons or their husbands’ sons, or their brothers or their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack desire, or children who know nothing of women’s nakedness. And do not let them stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn to Allah together, O believers, so that you may succeed.
If she does not cover she may be abused:
(Quran 33:59) O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their veils close around them. That will be better, so that they may be recognized and not molested. Allah is always forgiving, merciful.
The Iranian mullahs view the new law to fine women up to $60,000 (2.5 billion rials) as necessary to keep women in their place, and as consistent with Islamic tenets. It’s another penalty to add to the beatings, jail and murder that women in Iran who wish to be free of the hijab already face.
“Women To Be Fined Up To $60,000 For Hijab: Iran Lawmaker,” by Maryam Sinaee, Iran International, March 28, 2023:
An ultra-hardliner has said that women could be fined as much as $60,000 for flouting hijab when a new law to enforce the Islamic dress code is passed by parliament.
Speaking to the press in his constituency in Yazd Province, Hojjat ol-Eslam Hossein Jalali said Sunday that punishments for flouting the hijab, according to the planned legislation, will include cash fines from 5m to 30b rials (around $100 to $60,000) and that other penalties may include revocation of drivers’ licenses and passports, or a ban on the use of the internet for celebrities and social media influencers and bloggers.
These penalties will apply to passengers who do not abide by the hijab rules while riding in vehicles, at restaurants, government organizations, schools and universities, airports and public transport terminals, in the cyberspace and to celebrities, and on the streets and other public arenas, Jalali added.
Hardliners have been looking for ways to strengthen the enforcement of hijab after their ‘morality police’ tactic of arresting women for “improper hijab” backfired with the death of Mahsa Amini last September, triggering nationwide popular protests…….

The Islamic Republic of Iran is actual oppressive tyranny in every sense of the word. It even uses financial terrorism of women to force them wear the hijab.
This should serve as a reminder the very actual essence of that Islamic tyranny, Ayatollah Khomeini had made in known that “The Islamic Republic of Iran would be Islamic and nothing but .He declared ‘What the nation wants is an Islamic Republic . Not just a Republic, not a democratic Republic, not a democratic Islamic Republic. Do not use the word “democratic” to describe it. That is the Western style.‘” [1]
[1]`THE HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer, page 318.
Walter Sieruk says
This a a reflection of what the scholar and author, Brigitte Gabriel revealed her book [1] which informs its reader “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islamic ideology.”
She likewise exposed that “Woman in Islam are considered unclean , deemed inferior even to dirt.”
This tyrannical attempt to force women to wear that hijab which is a symbol of oppressive Islamic misogyny is alone a violation of basic human rights.
[1] THEY MUST BE STOPPED pages 171,172.
Walter Sieruk says
Those intolerant and oppressive anti- female Muslim despots using financial pressure to control female behavior ,as seen those tyrants forcing them to wear the hijab is their new despicable method in their old long history of misogyny since that Islamic tyrannical regime first came to power in 1979.
For example, to imprison women for not wearing the hijab is but one part of the anti-female tyranny of this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran.
That ruthless cruel brutal heinous Islamic 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].
That brutal cruel Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran is full of ruthless malicious misogyny.
On the topic of this Islamic tyranny of Iran 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.” [1]
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.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM BY Ibn Warraq. pages 345-347.
Walter Sieruk says
The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law. It thus should be known that Sharia law which strongly favors females ,,both girls and women, to always wear the hijab , this garment is symbolic of the oppressive misogyny that is part of Islam.
About the actual origin of Islamic law [sharia]. It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam with its Sharia are a hoax .

I haven’t seen or heard any news about the demonstrations in Iran for a while now, I guess the mainstream media has moved on to other issues, but I do hope that, in the long run, the demonstrators do manage to win against the primitive islamic knuckle draggers who are in charge of that sorry country. That would be a victory for civilisation against barbaric islam.

The fine works out to be about 10 months pay for the average Iranian.
Hopefully this new fine will simply piss off the Iranian people a lot more and they will get rid of these tyrants who are enforcing this evil system.
notoislam says
Maybe those in India that are of the same thinking and attitude will join the iranians who are sick of
Shariah and put an end to it in both countries.
Walter Sieruk says
Good for those brave and courageous Iranians, who in their righteous cause and quest to free themselves from that brutal and murderous “mullah regime” of Iran.
Nevertheless the President pretender Joe Biden, strives to appease and happy those cruel oppressive Islamic despots in power in Iran by grating them everything they want.
Of course Biden would do that because those tyrants of Iran did meddle and interfere in any way that they were able in the 2020 US Presidential election to ensure that they will have their stooge , tool and useful idiot, Joe Biden , in the White. [1]. In addition, those dictators of the hostile and aggressive Islamic tyranny of Iran have more information about this that Biden fears they they might make known to the American public , call it “black-male” if you want but those tyrants of Iran control pseudo “president” Biden.
