Islamic Republic of Iran: Bike-sharing app refuses service to women

Islamic Republic of Iran arrests 70 cyclists for not wearing hijab
In the West, the establishment media pushes the myth that women who wear hijab are routinely brutalized by MAGA hat-wearing yahoos. Leftist feminists don hijab in supposed solidarity for these allegedly oppressed women. But those feminists have nothing to say about these women in Iran, who are genuinely oppressed and forced to wear the hijab […]
Could War Between Israel and Iran Begin in the Middle East?
If Iran uses its forces and fighters (which include Afghani and Pakistani forces) to launch an attack near the Israeli-Syrian border, it is possible that a war between Tel Aviv and Tehran could to occur sooner rather than later. The number of non-Iranian mercenaries are very large. The number of Afghanis ranges between fifteen and […]

CNN explains that the problem is really Donald Trump, not Iran’s chanting of “Death to America”
“‘I am not that educated, I don’t have a deep understanding,’ says Rahimi, who like most Iranians interviewed for this article preferred to give only their first name.” Did CNN stop to ponder why that was the case? Did Nick Paton Walsh, Shirzad Bozorgmehr or Salma Abdelaziz ask themselves why, if Trump and not the […]
Iran: Protesters chant “Death to Palestine” in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar
The Iranian people are fed up with the mullahs using their resources to aid jihad terrorists in other lands. They are fed up with the Islamic Republic.

Video from Iran: Islamic morality police drag woman off street, shove her into car as she screams for help
This kind of thing, and worse, has taken place in the Islamic Republic of Iran since its inception. But the fact that we are now seeing videos of it more or less regularly indicates the deep dissatisfaction that the Iranian people have with the Sharia regime. That dissatisfaction is only growing, and that regime may […]
Iranians in packed soccer stadium chant “Reza Shah”
As I explain in my forthcoming book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (click here to preorder), Reza Shah, who was Shah of Iran from 1925 to 1941, admired the father of Turkish secularism, Kemal Ataturk, and set Iran on a secular path. In chanting his name, Iranians are expressing their dissatisfaction with […]

The man yelled, demanding that she must “obey the rules”….Firmly responding to him, the woman said: “I don’t like this veil. I don’t want to obey this rule. It’s my right”, adding that she will only wear it when he wears it. Shortly, the man stepped out of his car and slapped the woman across […]
Iranian woman who took off her hijab and became symbol of freedom is missing and feared arrested
This is real feminism, and real courage in the face of real tyranny.

Iran says it has arrested dozens on suspicion of “terrorist activities” during pro-freedom protests
In reality, it is the mullahs who are the terrorists.

Iran: Tehran police say they’ll no longer arrest women for violating the Islamic dress code
This is momentous: the first crack in the Sharia wall. Note also the irony: in the West feminists piously host Hijab Days and whine about nonexistent “Islamophobia,” but never say a word about the Iranian women who have been forced to wear hijab since 1979. Will American feminists stand with the Iranian women who have […]
Iran: Anti-regime protests spread across the country, protesters chant “Death to the dictator”
The protests were, at least initially, over economic troubles, not against the Islamic Republic as such, but to chant “Death to the dictator” is getting quite close to calling for an end to the Islamic regime. Before the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran was a Western-oriented, relatively secular regime, and there is no reason why […]
