A disturbing video was recently posted on LiveLeak showing a young Iranian woman being arrested in Tehran for violation of Iran's strict Islamic dress code. This is not the first, but one of many that have been met with deafening silence in the West.
The video above was recently posted on LiveLeak.
By the way, there is a special division in Iran's police organization which control clothes of youngsters called "Gasht Ershad".
Did anyone else think 'Gestapo' besides me?
I just threw in that "sexy Hijab" photo to spit in their faces. Here's the email address of the Iranian Foreign Ministry if you'd like to forward them a copy.
I did.
Since the Khomeini revolution in 1979, Iran has rapidly descended into an outpost of Islamic extremism and exporter of terrorism akin to Saudi Arabia and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
Women in Iran identified (often by men) as promiscuous or adulterous are sentenced to death by stoning or hanging from crane wire, as are homosexuals. It would seem they are not content with murdering only Jews.
The only thing more heinous than the treament of these Iranian citizens is the deafening silence with which they have been met by so-called 'feminist' and human rights organizations, which seem far more preoccupied with America's perceived 'oppression' of women and gays than with the actual murderous treatment of same at the hands of religious theocrats in the Middle East.
Truth is, I've long become ill at having to report on stories like these, but since the MSM refuses to, it looks like it's a dirty job I'm stuck with.
Any comments would be most welcome.
I only have one more to make with regard to this Iranian insanity:
