Iranian women are dying on the streets of Tehran, burning their headscarves and being beaten and killed for insulting their Islamic misogynist regime. Strangely silent are the fembots like you, who are more lathered about vaccines that don't work and a no-longer sitting president. Who is Chronicle and her coven of cronies waiting for instructions from? Is not your leader a feminist? What does fembot Trudeau say? Crickets and more nothing burgers... no surprises there... Iran: Anti-hijab protests grow, women burning headscarves in street SEP 22, 2022 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS 3 COMMENTS Since the brutal murder of Mahsa Amini by Iran’s morality police over her refusal to wear a hijab, protests have not let up. Women have no rights in Islam and full coverings are mandatory (Quran 24:31, 33:59). In response to Amini’s murder, protests are expanding across Iran, with at least five people killed in the demonstrations after security forces opened fire. The worst nightmare for the Shia regime of Iran is for a coordinated, full-scale public revolt. Iran — from the military to the mullahs — will do all it can to try to ensure that such a revolt never happens, no matter how many civilians end up murdered by the regime. Shi’ite Iran ascribes to a doomsday theology. The Hidden – or Twelfth – Imam plays a dominant role in Iran’s official religion, Twelver Shi’ism. The belief is that at the end of days, the Hidden Imam will appear in the midst of a violent apocalyptic scenario played out on a battleground stained with infidels’ blood. “Iran unrest: Women burn headscarves at anti-hijab protests,” by David Gritten and Oliver Slow, BBC, September 21, 2022: Women have been at the forefront of escalating protests in Iran sparked by the death in custody of a woman detained for breaking hijab laws. Crowds cheered when women burned their hijabs on a bonfire in Sari on Tuesday, the fifth successive day of unrest. Activists said a woman was among three protesters shot dead by security forces in Urmia, Piranshahr and Kermanshah. Authorities accused protesters of killing two civilians in Kermanshah as well as a police assistant in Shiraz. At least seven people are now reported to have been killed since protests against the hijab laws and morality police erupted after Mahsa Amini’s death. The 22-year-old Kurdish woman from the north-western city of Saqez died in hospital on Friday, after spending three days in a coma. She was with her brother in Tehran when she was arrested by morality police, who accused her of breaking the law requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf, and their arms and legs with loose clothing. She fell into the coma shortly after collapsing at a detention centre. There were reports that police beat Ms Amini’s head with a baton and banged her head against one of their vehicles, Acting UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Nada al-Nashif said. The police have denied that she was mistreated and said she suffered “sudden heart failure”. But her family has said she was fit and healthy. “Mahsa Amini’s tragic death and allegations of torture and ill-treatment must be promptly, impartially and effectively investigated by an independent competent authority, that ensures, in particular, that her family has access to justice and truth,” Ms Nashif said. She noted that the UN had received “numerous, and verified, videos of violent treatment of women” as morality police expanded their street patrols in recent months to crack down on those perceived to be wearing “loose hijab”. “The authorities must stop targeting, harassing, and detaining women who do not abide by the hijab rules,” she added, calling for their repeal….

Here is a real knee slapper Comical... at least these wanton girls did not seduce any Godly Muslim men before they were cooked in the fire. 2002 Mecca girls' school fire The 2002 Mecca girls' school fire occurred on 11 March 2002 at a girls' school in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and killed fifteen people, all young girls. Complaints were made that Saudi Arabia's " religious police", specifically the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, had prevented schoolgirls from leaving the burning building and hindered emergency services personnel because the students were not wearing modest clothing. The actions of the religious police were condemned both inside the country and internationally. A Saudi government inquiry concluded that religious educational authorities were responsible for neglecting fire safety of the school, but rejected the accusation that the actions of religious police contributed to the deaths and that they stopped anyone from leaving because of modest clothing. In the aftermath, the General Presidency for Girls’ Education was dissolved and got merged with the Ministry of Education. The fire According to Saudi press reports, the blaze at Mecca Intermediate School No. 31 started at about 8am. The blaze began in a room on the top floor, apparently caused by an unattended cigarette. As a result of the fire and ensuing rush to escape, 15 young girls died, and more than 50 were injured. Nine of the dead girls were Saudis; the rest were from Chad, Egypt, Guinea, Niger, and Nigeria. The majority of the deaths occurred when a staircase collapsed as the girls fled the building. The residential property upon which the school was built was overcrowded with 800 pupils. In addition, the building may have lacked proper safety infrastructure and equipment, such as fire stairs and alarms. According to at least two reports, members of the CPVPV, also known as Mutaween, would not allow the girls to escape or to be saved from the fire because they were "not properly covered", and the mutaween did not want physical contact to take place between the girls and the civil defense forces for fear of sexual enticement, and variously that the girls were locked in by the police, or forced back into the building. Civil Defense stated that the fire had extinguished itself before they arrived on the scene. CPVPV officers did appear to object to Civil Defense workers going into the building—Human Rights Watch quoted a Civil Defense officer as saying, "Whenever the girls got out through the main gate, these people forced them to return via another. Instead of extending a helping hand for the rescue work, they were using their hands to beat us." The CPVPV denied the charges of beating or locking the gates but the incident and the accounts of witnesses were reported in Saudi newspapers such as the Saudi Gazette and Al-Iqtisaddiyya. The result was a very rare public criticism of the group. Also criticized was the General Presidency for Girls' Education (GPGE), which administers girls' schools in Saudi Arabia. Reaction The behavior of the religious police was widely criticized both inside the country and internationally. In a rare instance of public criticism of the organization, Saudi media accused them of hindering the attempts to save the girls. Hanny Megally, Executive Director of the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch, stated "women and girls may have died unnecessarily because of extreme interpretations of the Islamic dress code. State authorities with direct and indirect responsibility for this tragedy must be held accountable." The West Wing episode "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" features a similar event in Medina which was based on the fire. Inquiry An inquiry was launched by the Saudi government in wake of the deaths. The investigation was led by Abdul Majeed, the governor of Mecca. The Interior Minister, Prince Nayef, promised that those responsible for the deaths would be held accountable. Nayef, at the time, stated that the deaths did not happen as a result of the fire, but rather the stampede caused by the panic. He acknowledged the presence of two mutaween and that they went there to prevent "mistreatment" of the girls. He said that they did not interfere with the rescue efforts and only arrived after everyone had left the building. On March 25, the inquiry concluded that while the fire had been caused by a stray cigarette, the religious educational authorities responsible for the school had neglected the safety of the pupils. The inquiry found that the clerics had ignored warnings that overcrowding of the school could cause a fatal stampede. It also found that there was a lack of fire extinguishers and alarms in the building. Accordingly, the cleric in charge of the school was fired, and his office was merged with the Ministry of Education. The report dismissed allegations that the mutaween (of CPVPV) had prevented the girls from fleeing or made the death toll worse. Many newspapers welcomed the merger of the agency responsible for girls' education with the Ministry of Education. Previously, the agencies had been separate and girls' education had been in the hands of the religious establishment. The newspapers saw the merger as a step towards "reform". Aftermath In the outrage over the deaths that followed, Crown Prince Abdullah removed girls' schools from the administration of the "General Presidency for Girls' Education"—an "autonomous government agency long controlled by conservative clerics"—and put it under the Ministry of Education, which already controlled boys' schools. In 1960, when girls' schools were first created in Saudi Arabia, they were put under the control of a separate administration dominated by conservatives as "a compromise to calm public opposition to allowing (not requiring) girls to attend western style school". Similar incident There was another similar incident in 2014; according to a report, a female student at a Saudi university died of heart attack after being denied access to advanced medical assistance because the paramedics were male. Senior members of the faculty reportedly prevented the paramedics from entering primarily because the student was not fully covered and they did not want to get into trouble for having men in close proximity to her. This caused many Saudis to vent their anger and question the University's policies. However the rector of the university denied this and said that they did all they could. An anonymous staff member said that the paramedics were not called immediately and there was a delay in letting them in. The staff member also said that it appeared that two of the female college deans at the university panicked after hearing about the heart attack. The sisters upstairs...

A Mother’s Role in an Honor Killing

Posted on September 26, 2022 by Baron Bodissey

Below is the latest news in the case of Saman Abbas, a young Pakistani woman in Italy who disappeared in the spring of 2021 and is believed to have been “honor-killed” by her relatives.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Il Giornale:

“Your father and I died”

The wiretap of Saman’s mother

The 18-year-old’s mother, Nazia Shaheen, was wiretapped after the alleged crime. The telephone call with the younger brother of the girl. “Your father and I…”

by Rosa Scognamiglio
September 25, 2022

“Your father and I died on the spot.” These are the words spoken by Nazia Shaheen, the mother of Saman Abbas, in the course of a phone call with her younger son and brother of the 18-year-old Pakistani who disappeared from Novellara the night of April 30 a year ago. The wire interception, in the files of the case for homicide and illegal disposal of a body, goes back to the end of August 2021. The mother was likely already back in Pakistan with her husband Shabbar.

The call

The details of the conversation between Nazia Shaheen and the younger brother of Saman (the boy is currently housed at a protected structure in the Bologna area) are not yet known. This is certainly not an insignificant element. It is the latest in this tangled family affair which, for the moment, involves five persons: The two cousins of the girl, the uncle, and the parents. They are all under investigation, even if the Abbas spouses, for whom there is an international arrest warrant, remain free. The fact is that this call, as well as that from Shabbar to his step-brother, is the umpteenth piece of the puzzle that the investigators are attempting to reconstruct. The hypothesis of honor crime, already confirmed in part from the statements of Saman’s father — “I killed her for my dignity,” were the man’s words — now takes on even more body and shape with the cryptic phrase spoken by Nazia: “We died there.”

The homicide told by Ijaz

It was reportedly Ikram Ijaz, one of the two arrested cousins, who furnished the relevant details of the dynamic of the alleged homicide. According to what he reportedly told a detainee, who then passed on the contents of the alleged confession to prison authorities, Saman was allegedly strangled with a rope, cut into pieces, and finally thrown into the Po River by “a man with a balaclava”. The crime was reportedly carried out in the countryside of Novellara, probably in the greenhouses of the agricultural business where the Abbas clan worked. Nazia, who allegedly accompanied the daughter in her final steps before handing her over to her uncle Danish, reportedly broke out in tears. At that point, Shabbar reportedly asked her to return home, giving the task of finishing the operation by disposing of the cadaver to an unknown person.

The Day Women Burn Their Uniforms en Masse, Islam Collapses Posted on October 1, 2022 by Baron Bodissey Many thanks to LN for translating this op-ed from Snaphanen: How Islam is broken down by Lars Hedegaard Alleged feminists agitate for female cover-up as a right for women. Just as slaves have the right to wear shackles. Unrest continues in Iran, where residents fed up with clerical rule are defying the regime’s bullets, tear gas and arrests. The demand is for the Islamic Republic to end. The regime has responded by intensifying violent repression. Dozens of protesters have been killed and the government has shut down the internet to prevent the protests from spreading. But they have spread to dozens of cities, including the capital Tehran. In the town of Osvanieh in Iran’s north-west, gun battles have broken out between the mainly Kurdish population and the regime’s repressive apparatus, and many women have taken the opportunity to burn their hijabs, the Islamic headgear that the clerical regime forces all women to wear. In the West it can be difficult to understand why Islamic rulers place such importance on women’s attire. In this country [Denmark], there are even left-wing opinion leaders and alleged feminists who advocate female headgear as a right for women. Just as slaves have the right to wear chains. Where does Islam’s sick preoccupation with women’s clothing come from? To understand this, we need to go back to the origins of Islamic ideology and society, which arose in Arab tribal societies of 1,400 years ago. That is why Muslim women in the West are not allowed to meet infidel men Such a society is characterised by constant fighting between tribes or clans over land, camels and other resources. Weak clans fall to strong clans, and the clan that cannot gather enough warriors is doomed. Therefore, it is important for the clan leader to control the women so that they are not conquered by hostile neighbouring tribes and do not enrich them with their male offspring — i.e. more warriors. That was and is the essence of Islam. This is why Muslim women in the West are not allowed to have a relationship with infidel — e.g. Danish — men, and why Muslim women’s offspring always belong to the man. The outward sign of female control is the hijab or other variants of the female uniform, which shows that the woman is owned by the Ummah — the Islamic nation. The day women burn their uniforms en masse, Islam collapses.

I used to think Islam was the scourge of Western Society but I was wrong, the real scourge of Western Society is virtue signaling fembots... not one feminist has stood up for the women losing their lives in Iran. Austria: State broadcaster features headscarf-wearing correspondent reporting on women in Iran protesting headscarf OCT 2, 2022 11:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER 4 COMMENTS ORF couldn’t very well be expected to join the uprising. Still, the tone-deafness is so typical of Leftist multiculturalists. Western feminists hold Hijab Day every year and have never said a thing about Iranian women risking everything to be free from the hijab. “During the protest: ORF surprises ZiB viewers with a headscarf correspondent,” translated from “Während Protest: ORF überrascht ZiB-Seher mit Kopftuch-Korrespondentin,” Exxpress, September 29, 2022 (thanks to Medforth): The pictures of the courageous women in Iran protesting have gone around the world – and the videos of police violence against the demonstrators are shocking. At least 76 people were killed, said the director of the Oslo-based human rights organization Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, citing video footage and death certificates. Despite hundreds of arrests and threats from the government, the protests continue: In several Iranian cities, women could be seen taking off their veils and setting them on fire or symbolically cutting their hair. Riot police beat demonstrators with batons. In this situation, the ORF newsroom let editor Katharina Wagner broadcast live in Tehran – wearing a headscarf. Many viewers were surprised: Ironically, in a TV report about the protests against the headscarf, against the radical mullahs, does the ORF employee make a “model Iranian”? This was probably a requirement of the Iranian regime, which the ORF accepted for this contribution. Caused an emotional debate: The ORF’s acceptance of the guidelines of the regime in Tehran. FPÖ politician: “Van der Bellen likes it.” A heated debate immediately broke out on social media channels. And Harald Vilimsky, the FPÖ MEP, poured fuel on the fire: “Van der Bellen likes that,” he wrote on Twitter, alluding to the headscarf-sayer of the Green Federal President. As is well known, Van der Bellen caused irritation with this saying: “We will have to ask all women to wear a headscarf – out of solidarity.” In view of the massive protests by courageous women in Iran, this sentence hasn’t really aged well. An official statement from the ORF leadership or the ZiB1 editor-in-chief about the strange headscarf appearance has not yet come. Tweets immediately recalled Van der Bellen’s statement in 2017.

Feminists Criticize Woman For Interrupting Man POLITICS·Feb 9, 2023 · BabylonBee.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — Feminists and other Communists are leveling criticism against "uppity" Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for speaking out of turn at this week's State of the Union and rudely interrupting an old white male who was trying to speak. "Absolutely shameful! Such behavior by a woman in the presence of men is just improper and unbecoming," said Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. "Women need to know their place. Back when I was a young squaw on the plains of Oklahoma, speaking like that to a man might get you a smack on the mouth, or WORSE!" Republicans have joined Democrats in condemning Greene, saying that maybe it's time for her to keep her mouth shut so the men can take care of business. "She was warned multiple times about yapping when the menfolk are trying to talk, but still she persisted," said Senator Mitt Romney. "Just shameful." Democrats also pointed out that MTG wasn't alone, but was joined by several other loudmouthed women in forgetting decorum while the dignified elder statesman Joe Biden rambled on for 30 minutes about airline baggage fees. "Someone has to teach these women their place before they start getting big ideas in their little female brains," said Congresswoman and feminist Nancy Pelosi. At publishing time, tensions had escalated further as MTG was seen keying Biden's limo.
