The Islamic Republic continues to try to frighten people into submission. This is the only tool they’ve got, as per the Qur’an: “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)
“Iran Vows to Prosecute Women, Close Businesses That Shun Hijab,” by Arsalan Shahla, Bloomberg, April 8, 2023:
Iranian women will be prosecuted and businesses could risk being shut for failing to observe the country’s hijab rules, Iran’s police chief said, escalating the regime’s crackdown on dissent against mandatory head scarves.
Under the new law, Iranian women who refuse to wear head coverings in public places or inside their cars would face court trials and have their vehicles impounded, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, citing Brigadier-General Ahmadreza Radan….
The new measures will also allow the police to shut any business whose employees fail to abide by compulsory hijab requirements, the report said. The police plan to use “smart cameras and equipment” to identify and send warnings to women in violation of the dress code, the police said in a separate statement on Saturday.
The Shargh daily newspaper reported on Monday that more than 100 stores and businesses were closed over the last month for failing to comply with Iran’s Islamic dress code….
European pagan says
Most of the Iranian women don’t want to wear headscarf and they should respect it. Or this stupid men should wear hijab at 30-40 °C

This is like Nazi Germany all over again. All countries should cease dealing with this awful government, they should be boycotted like Russia is being boycotted
DHZ says
Islam, the religion where women have the freedom to remain stupid, subservient sex slaves and housekeepers. There once was a day when being a rich man’s concubine was another excellent aspiration but that dream has given way to settling for being the third or fourth wife of an overweight retiree who is always surrounded by boys.
PRCS says
“for failing to comply with Iran’s Islamic dress code”
As always, uninformed readers are led to believe Iran’s “Islamic dress code” differs in some way from Islam’s dress code.
The ISLAMIC Republic of Iran (like the ISLAMIC Republic of Afghanistan and the Indonesian province of Aceh) is enforcing ISLAMIC law.
While it’s certainly appropriate for “unbelievers”–in the West at least–to express concern and disgust about forced veiling in Iran, why do so many not automatically include Afghanistan and Aceh in their scorn.
Worse, even, are the Western Muslimas who demand–and are afforded–their right to wear hijab while their “sisters” in those places listed above have no right to not wear it.
ILikeSherbet2 says
I would gladly exchange a couple hundred thousand or million of these third culture Muslimas in the West for these brave secular Iranian women! These second-gen Muslims don’t even appreciate any of the many accommodations we already grant them, why even bother. Get rid of them.
PRCS says
Unfortunately neither you nor I can do that.
So, to further our Islamic law knowledge, as practiced in the Islamic Republic of Iran, how many non-Muslim Iranian women are compelled to don the veil–which should be bounced against Islam’s “no compulsion in religion” line–vs Iranian Muslim women who, per the Big Book–are mandated to do so?
I’m not sure how Iranian Muslim women can possibly reject both Islamic law and the Mullahs who enforce it there.
Robin says
Iran never used to be that way until a tyrant dictator took over,kinda like USA with oBiden crime family’s taking over America and allowing child abuse,child trafficking, violations on women’s rights,allowing pedophilia like middle east cult religion.allowing abortion in 3rd trimester, allowing epstein Island perps,etc;
Walter Sieruk says
Such misogynistic oppression is nothing new regarding the anti-female spirit of that despicable Islamic tyranny that views girls and women is such low esteem that it has law that require them to wear the hijab. It;’s also part Muslim despots “power play.”
This is based in Islamic Sharia . What is older that Islam is the actural origin of Sharia
So it should be made known that were Sharia came from is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.

Walter Sieruk says
When it comes to the hijab laws in that tyrannical Islamic regime it does get much worse than Woman being prosecuted [ persecuted ] and businesses being shut down if women don’t submit to wearing the hijab.
This horrendous misogyny of that Islam tyranny regarding the hijab can does even result in deliberate cold blooded first degree murder of peaceful young women.
For example, example of such callous despicable heartless anti-female evil is when a teenage girl in Iran was talking to her boyfriend on the phone and then the Islamic state “police” walked over to her and shot her dead. They did that wicked and malicious thing to her because she was talking to her boyfriend and they also didn’t like her clothing. [1]
That was a clear cut case of murder and vicious Islamic madness by Iran’s Islamic state “ police”, who call themselves the “Revolutionary Guards”, they got away with their hideous and malice –filled evil because the mullahs as well as other villains in power in that tyrannical Islamic regime.

Walter Sieruk says
That heinously cruel and murderous Islamic Islamic tyranny of Iran is very brutal and vicious to the Iranian people. Especially regarding females. Both girls and women.As observed in those Sharia based laws forcing women to wear the symble of Islamic oppression and misogynistic garments known as the hijab.
Therefore it should be known that 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]
This heinous Islamic has been also exposed by another author who was born and lived in a Middle Eastern nation for many years. She wrote “Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam…” and “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [2]
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.

One of the “reasons” the hijab laws are so cruelly enforced in that “mullah regime of Iran has been 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.” ” [1]

PRCS says
“One of the “reasons” the hijab laws are so cruelly enforced in that “mullah regime of Iran”
IMO, Walter, compliance with Qur’an passages 33:59 and 24:31 is THE reason Iranian Mullahs enforce it.
Ditto both Afghanistan and the Indonesian province of Aceh.
Of course, as you’ve also noted, that clothing was worn by women long before the men –who used that for their purposes–as they concocted Islam.

Iran: Women will be prosecuted and businesses could be shut for failing to observe the country’s hijab rules
………………………………….
More disgusting Islamic barbarism.
PRCS says
That’s the point.
How Iranian Muslim women can work around Islamic law seems an impossibility.
OLD GUY says
Islam is all about control by a few who make up the ruling class in these countries. Under islam the individual and human rights are not important. Control of the general population through fear and violence is the leaderships tool to stay in power.
