“Authorities in Iran have arrested a woman for ‘insulting the Islamic Hijab,’ after a video of her cycling without a veil went viral on social media,” and as if that weren’t enough, Najafabad governor Mojatabei Raei claimed: “The residents of this city are holding a protest rally today after the unprecedented violation of norms.”
Meanwhile, the Canadian broadcaster CBC once again promoted the hijab as “modest fashion,” after its last hijab-promoting Muslima was arrested for joining the Islamic State. Female coverings are an enduring symbol of women’s inferiority and oppression in Islam:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
“Iranian woman arrested for cycling without hijab, accused of ‘insulting’ Islamic veil,” Hindustan Times, October 22, 2020:
Authorities in Iran have arrested a woman for ‘insulting the Islamic Hijab,’ after a video of her cycling without a veil went viral on social media, news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) has reported.
“A person who had recently violated norms and insulted the Islamic veil in this region, has been arrested,” Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted Najafabad governor Mojatabai Raei as saying.
Raei further said the woman’s ‘motive’ for committing this action is being investigated. He, however, did not disclose her identity. “The residents of this city are holding a protest rally today after the unprecedented violation of norms,” the governor added.
The incident took place in the city of Najafabad. In the video, which was shot with a mobile phone, the woman is seen cycling in front of a mosque. She can also be seen repeatedly raising her right hand in the air.
IRNA further said the video of the woman, showing her ‘riding her bike without a veil in the main square’ and ‘in front of a big mosque,’ had triggered protests from residents and clerics in Najafabad.
Under Iran’s Islamic law, which has been in force there since the 1979 revolution, women must wear a hijab that covers their head and neck and conceals their hair…..
Dude says
The veil insults Islamic men.
I have seen one leering at a 12 year old girl in the supermarket, so maybe they deserve to be insulted, or I guess the word is “chastised”. I almost told him to leave her alone. I would now, after all the UK stuff has been revealed.
Pigs will have sex with their mothers and daughters and sisters. Just sayin’.

Might as well say that one insulted the swastika armband. After all, Islam and Nazism are both totalitarian systems, despise liberty and each preaches a master something—Islam a master faith and Nazism a master race. The hijab, like the swastika armband, is a sartorial symbol of a terrible ideology.

Yes, the Islamic veil is the foremost symbol of female repression in the world today.

Islam is a prison.

In this tyrannical misogynists’ regime of Iran its actually worse that that the Islamic state state police going after girls riding bicycles . Which is terrible enough ,since it’s very difficult to handle a riding a bike with a hijab on. Of course those in control and power in the Islamic tyranny aren’t known for being reasonable.
This case to the point Islamic state police of Iran are now even worse than before , that hardly seems possible , in the forcing of women to wear the hijab .
Of course after that hijab law is absolutely and unconditionally enforced it naturally follows, in tyranny, that many more harsh Islamic requirements will be then enforced on the already terrible oppressed women who are trapped and forced to exist in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
Furthermore, of the many affront and violations against human rights that Islamic revolution of Iran which imprisons women for not wearing the hijab is but one part of the anti-female tyranny of this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran.
For that ruthless cruel brutal heinous 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]. On the topic of this Islamic tyranny 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 misogyny 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 and the spread of this Islamic revolution to other countries would only be a plague upon the nations and people of the world.

Walter Sieruk says
The harsh brutal Islamic misogynistic oppression of girls and women in this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran has ,many times, becomes even worse the forcing females to wear hijab while riding their bicycles .
As this following example reveals.
That heinously cruel and deadly s Islamic tyranny of Iran is very much stinking with brutal vicious and murderous violence against the Iranian people. Especially regarding females. Both girls and women. For example 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 .

Authorities in Iran have arrested a woman for ‘insulting the Islamic Hijab,’ after a video of her cycling without a veil…
Such acts are human rights violations that should be condemned by all civilized people of the world. Instead what we get are “World hijab Day, ” to “encourage women of all religions and backgrounds to wear and experience the hijab” [Wiki]. But if you want to fully “experience” the hijab then you must know the consequence of not wearing it, which is too often jail, beating, or murder. You have to know what it’s like to be under the critical eye of the morality police who look for “bad hijab.” Just last year in Iran a woman was beaten for not wearing one and dancing in the street. And recently when Iranian women protested the hijab law they were arrested, and the lawyer defending some of them got 33 years in prison and 148 lashes. But despite all the madness that islam promotes people like me are still called islamophobes for fearing islam, as if we were irrational in thinking it is dangerous and insane. In Canada Aqsa Parvez, 16, was murdered by her father after she argued with him “over wearing the hijab” [Reuters]. In Ottawa, Gatineau police “charged a man for allegedly beating his teenage daughter over the course of more than a year because she refused to wear a hijab” [CBC online]. And in India, “A four-year-old girl was thrashed to death by her father …because she accidentally forgot to keep her head scarf on while eating dinner”[Weird World]. And there’s an endless supply of horror stories like this where women are murdered for their manner of dress, for being too “westernized,” or for dating a non-muslim, or because their misogynist government or fellow muslims are offended by their desire to live free of the retarded oppression that islam brings.
Every enclave is Iran in microcosm. Is this what we want in our nations? a people who espouse brutality for religion and misogynist hate as a cultural norm? It’s time the West wake up and realize that islam can never, EVER, be compatible with our core values of liberty and justice for all. Never. Ever.
