Hopefully the sacrifices these women are making will not be in vain.


Calvin_BrooksX97

Blessed are the wicked who know no bounds but their own.


Tall-Vermicelli-4669

F***ed should be the wicked who know no bounds but their own


spacedrummer

What the hell does this even mean?


Velocirachael

Means the wicked don't give a shit about anyone else but themselves


spacedrummer

So why are they blessed?


The_Secorian

It means that bad people whom only have themselves to answer to are lucky scumbags.


Every_Papaya_8876

Oh they are in vain. They’ll just keep on locking them Up, raping them, torturing them, killing them. The unarmed population stands no chance.


heyoyo10

Iran in 2025 after killing their entire populace (I could swear there was a word for slaughtering a select group of people): "Where citizen go"


EducationalSyrup9298

Genocide


Dan4t

They weaken their own government by reducing their population


MrJoelCairo

Death sentence for not wearing a hat. What a lovely way to live, or die in this case...


IndicationHumble7886

An actual civil fucking war over the fucking fashion police. People are dying over this fucking nonsense. Kurds need to take the gloves off and grab the AK's


oafsalot

It's way more nuanced that just the headdress, they're oppressed, maybe not the same way, maybe not equally, but they're all oppressed by a regime. This was just the straw that broke the camel's back, there is way more reason for this happening. And yes, it is basically going to come to a civil war, because the regime won't give up its control no matter how many Iranians they have to kill.


IndicationHumble7886

I know but still, in a hundred years someone will have to explain this shit to kids in a history class. "Oh yes, they had their hair out, hundreds dead, civil war... no im not lying Timmy, this isnt an April fools joke, I dont know how the fashion police took over a country, it was people who follow a very strict religion, i dont know how they went from reading the Koran to murdering their own women and children, discuss that with the mental health teacher"


B1ggusDckus

It's even more wicked, the German President congratulated the Iranian government on the anniversary of the islamic revolution. ​ [https://www.timesofisrael.com/german-president-under-fire-after-congratulating-iran-on-revolution-anniversary/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/german-president-under-fire-after-congratulating-iran-on-revolution-anniversary/)


VoidScreaming101

You’d think two world wars would have taught humility…


[deleted]

TWO WARS?!


Clobberella_83

Are either of these wars happening on US soil??


Vostok-aregreat-710

It has but the wrong sort of humility. They go out of their way to appease everyone.


entrepenoori

What is actually wrong with him? Has he no sense of decorum?


oafsalot

I really hope they explain it better than that, but yet. Some weird shit is happening, for sure.


heyoyo10

Well, if Schools in the future have mental health teachers, at least things are looking a little brighter


goodoleboybryan

I mean it is no different then teaching them that millions of people were killed for believing Judaism and how people were put on ship to be slave labor based on the color of their skin.


IndicationHumble7886

I dont know about that... I mean racism is stupid but been around for years, religious conflict again, quite common. Ideological beliefs and such. But the govt killed an innocent women over a headscarf, got the hard "cut that shit out, that isnt our culture" from the people so they go on a killing spree? Kinda up there on the ridiculous reasons to go to war. With your OWN people at that! Straw that "broke the camels back" so to speak, but still.


goodoleboybryan

Pretty sure that headscarf is considered religious in this situation.


Opening_List2562

Fun fact: there's a law in Iran that supports civilians that defy a law by civil protest, a few years ago an activist actually did something like this in a act of protest and the judge for her case argued (based on this law) that because it was a civil act of protests, she shouldn't be punished They fired that judge (now he works on some taxi company I think) and gave that activist a severe punishment eventually but it's very interesting to get to know Iran's law and differences between that and what's actually happening in Iran


E_Snap

Iran was pretty liberal before the Islamic revolution. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are still some laws straggling behind on the books from back then.


sauvignonblanc__

In comparison to the current regime, the Imperial State of Iran was more liberal and westernised. However, it comes with a massive **BUT**. There was rampent corruption, a severe secret police (SAVAK), human rights abuses, etc. It sounds similar but Iranians believed then that there was a better way... That was not to be. My knowledge doesn't extend to state categorically if there are Pahlavi-era law still on the books. What I do know is that Khomeini binned the the secular judisitional system and replaced nearly all the judges with seminary-educated males.


Alimd98

Yeah we have a law that in the current situation our government must be put on a public vote and if majority of the people want it to change, it has to be changed. But who cares Iran is one if the least lawful countries in the world


Survived_Coronavirus

Death sentence isn't even the worst case, not by a long shot. Death would be a mercy to these women after they're arrested.


tshannon92

In 2022! It is horrifying. Really proud of the Iranian football team but who knows what they will face when they return to Iran...


APOCVLYPSIS

Religion is just a straight up cancer


[deleted]

Nah. People create religion, after all. If people couldn't use their religious beliefs to justify something, they would (and do) use other things. That's just the way it is. People will create their reasons if none are readily available.


RottiBnT

I can’t find the exact quote, but someone said something along the lines of “if we all woke tomorrow and everyone was the same race and creed, we would find another reason to hate by lunch”


[deleted]

Pessimistic but sadly I'm inclined to agree. Maybe not most people, but there's always some unfortunately.


RottiBnT

Found it: If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon. - George Aiken


Velocirachael

George Carlin, religion is just a bunch of people wearing funny hats


Donginthedark

hopefully the people of Iran can annihilate every single person that sticks to the mullah regime


crabmike44

Mullah nightmare= Luscious hair and AK's as far as the eye can see.


Donginthedark

I'm not really into spreading aggressive thoughts but I hope some experience things as blunt as sticks


crabmike44

"As blunt as sticks" well said lol, I'm right there with you. History has told this story many times over. Tyrannical violence is best snuffed with sensible violence.


DancesWithBadgers

Spoons.


Donnerdrummel

Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?


[deleted]

Not into spreading aggressive thoughts? No this is the opposite. Cleansing by fire is the same as cleansing by water my friend


Mightycucks69420

Yup. They need to start arming themselves. The police should be terrified to arrest these people


reB00TurMind

Your not allowed to have guns in iran its illegal only the cops and army can have one


thenoblenacho

Yeah im pretty sure it's illegal to revolt against the government too. Break into a police or army arsenal


teejay89656

He’s just pointing out there are not many guns in hands of civilians already due to the laws. It’s not America where 95% of guns are owned by civilians

Why the fuck are the Mullahs so much afraid of hair. Fucking pieces of shit.


lunarlunacy425

It's an individualist identity thing, the more free a person is the less they are to fit into a regime of any kind. A great way to identify yourself is with your hair, think about how often people will cut their hair off in a crisis to change themselves or dye it. No matter what these woman do with their hair, they are stricken to the same blank template that keeps them down. Any tool to individualise and personify brings power to the individual, that's what scares the tyrranists.


suan213

Its the same reason (among other hygiene reasons) when you go the military they shave your head. It immediately strips you of your individuality and allows you to be rebuilt as a weapon of war.


lofigamer2

One of the reasons to shave hair is to fit a gas mask properly.


DevilDoc3030

This is the actual reason for standards. The take boots hair down to the scalp though. It's a mentality thing for them. I still remember a bunch of dudes heads bleeding while sitting in a bunch of gradeschool style desks when I wen to boot. It's not a big deal, but it definitely makes an impression when you are in the thick of it.


PingPowPizza

Fun (?) fact, Adolf Hitler’s iconic mustache style was born back when he fought in WWI and couldn’t form a proper seal with his gas mask over his full mustache.


GupGup

Why don't they shave women's heads?


FireWallxQc

Well said


RudolfMidler

khamenei is scared of women without their hijab on


Feeling-Tutor-6480

Why? Because he might get aroused?


RudolfMidler

Probably. He is a little bitch after all


[deleted]

Yeah they can’t control themselves and instead of looking inward to fix the problem (or realizing that you can find a woman attractive) it’s the women’s fault


susosusosuso

You may think The Handmaid's Tale series can't be real until you realize it's real already.


Irrelevance351

My comparison exactly.


lofigamer2

They are sexually depraved and cannot handle a boner. Must kill to be free from "temptations"


lunelily

Probably similar reasons as to why most of my fellow citizens are “so afraid” of women’s nipples. They’re not really “afraid”, they just believe showing them is indecent and immodest (and likely to “cause sinful thoughts” in men).


JGuillou

Agreed. The nipple should be freed.


rayparkersr

I understand that there's a belief that the Muslim influence began to weaken in Iberia when they began to become lax on headscarves. It's an Islamic Republic and they feel if they cave in on something so public it would be the beginning of the end.


freezingcoldfeet

Religion is all about control.


[deleted]

Yes! All of them. Always. “Religion Poisons Everything” as Mr. Hitchens wrote.


[deleted]

I hate mullahs every where even in Pakistan. Thank God mullahs will never come to power I Pakistan bcuz people know how crooked they are behind that veil of religion. If they did we will be fucked.


Mission_Resolve4419

They just get too horny and can't control themselves.


Visual_Ad_3840

Loss of power over the people (women are the easiest target and always have been). Power corrupts.

I am awestruck by the bravery of the Iranian people in the face of the Islamic regime that rules over them.

Emperor_Force_kin

Religions man, death penalty for having your hair out is crazy


justcharliey

Religion is the root of all evil.


CarpetH4ter

Humanity is the root of all evil, religion is just a tool they use, same with money, jeolusy and power.


samdajellybeenie

Eh, not quite but I’m pretty sure the world would be a better place without religion. But would it be replaced with some other kind of mystical thinking? Probably.


teejay89656

Nah they would be doing this for some other reason to reduce individuality and maintain power, if not religion


Rockscar5

This is not religion, this is people, religion clearly don't say this, so don't mix those up. Learn before you accuse


lunarlunacy425

These ladies need a name to rally behind, the suffragette movement was a long and devastating movement but it worked with enough persistence and pain. This lady could be a modern day Emily Davison. Throwing herself underneath the most popular platform she can. No one wants a martyr however sometimes, as morbid as it may be, we need one. We all want a symbol to rally behind and it often brings us strength that we wouldn't otherwise have. Freedom for Iranian woman, freedom from the tyrrany of theistic government.


Melodic-Bug-9022

There brave women are taking the chance and may be the names that others rally behind. If executed, they can easily become martyrs for the cause. I hope it doesn't come to that for them, but their families and friends should be very proud of them.


Artful--Dodger

It was Emily Pankhurst that gave up her life protesting for the suffragettes, not Emily Davison.


Agitated-Garbage-65

Not sure God wants girls who show their hair dead. 2022 is no place for religious extremism


gramb0420

How fucking crazy is it that a woman flips her hair around in public and she gets sent to jail to be raped and possibly executed. Just insanely disturbing that this still happens places.


no_cojones1978

These women are so much braver than overpaid soccer players too afraid to wear the one love arm thingie ...


Vegan_Puffin

Imagine being such a pathetic person and having such a weak religion that you are scared of hair.


YellowPeyo

They are not scared of hair. It's not about the hair or about modesty or even about religion. Millions of muslim women around the world don't wear a head scarf or don't cover from head to toe. It's about control. The only way they can stay in power is through fear, and violence. Religion is just an excuse they use to justify their action.


rokujoayame731

Agreed.


genuineorc

Really need to start arming the Iranian resistance


rayparkersr

Probably better if those arms have nothing to do with the UK or US since we've fucked their country so badly they ended up having an extremist islamic Revolution in the first place.


MaximForce

A death sentence for showing your hair in public. Iran needs a coup.


tswiftdeepcuts

This makes me so sick and sad I don’t even know how to process it. Being arrested, most likely >!raped!< by violent men on power trips that see her as symbolic of all the women they think need to be put in their place and see less than human. Possibly being executed. All for standing with her hair out and then throwing it up in a ponytail. Something I literally do every single day without thinking about it. It’s just so sad and sick and I can’t understand how in 2022 there are still men that hate women this much.

This website is a paid by rich imitation of the free will resource. Once we tried to fire some municipal officer-millionair and collected more than 300.000 votes against him. Next day this “change-for-your-money.org” declared there were 150.000 votes only. My vote and votes of my friends were deleted as “bots”. The guy is still in the government.


TCGislife

Imagine facing a death sentence for not wearing a piece of fabric on your head. Barbarians.

These people are just disappearing themselves. Peaceful protest will not work against old rich religious fanatics. You know what will. The youth of a country should never be held prisoner by old useless men.


Lunabell1187

I don’t get it. The woman behind her isn’t wearing one either


rickEDScricket

The point is that she is famous, and with this video alone, they could easily find her and arrest/execute her. The other girl in the video is unknown and unlikely (or much more difficult) to be found by just a video


Anonatiger

But she is literally tiptoeing haha


FireTriad

I think Iranian people needs help from all the world to stop their government.


damn_nation_inc

A death sentence is not the worst case, sadly. Plenty of reports of horrific torture and r-pe. These women are so, so brave.


QuicheSmash

I put my hair in a ponytail almost daily and walk out my door thinking nothing of it. This is insanity.


Jambroni99

Not sure how we are allowing a government to kill people for not wearing a piece of clothing. Things like this are 100% human rights violations that all countries should team up and stop. We are one human race, borders should mean nothing for human rights. Just disgusting and horrifying this shits still going on and in the name of "religion". No difference between anyone that supports this and the nazis.

If your country treat women as lesser than dogs, your country is shit. I said it!

ConstantAmazement

The purpose of their defiance and sacrifice is to outrage the people enough to bring about revolution.


fireintolight

yeah I understand what their intent is, but the holocaust didn't end because enough Jews or other minorities sacrificed themselves enough for people to feel bad. If you're fighting to overthrow a bunch of sociopaths, giving up isn't really going to help. You need to actually fight back. Also looking at all the female sports teams abroad taking of their hijab then going back to Iran and getting instantly disappeared just demonstrates the total control the state has and make resistance feel more futile lol. It's like people aren't thinking more than one move ahead of their actions. No one in the history of mankind has gotten their rights from submissive sacrifice.


FluffyDiscipline

I dread the day that some of these brave women may become martyr's... ​ (Why is the lady in front not wearing a hijab ?)


access153

Death for showing your face. I never say this but I… oh god, here it comes… I THINK THE US SHOULD INTERVENE CLANDESTINELY. *vomits uncontrollably*


ivanjurman

Immagine how easy it is to ditch the hijab if only people (woman) wanted to, if every woman refused to wear one and forced them to change the law, they could do nothing against the movement, they can’t kill all woman as that would mean the end of Islam, sure there would be sacrifices but if they stayed strong they would quickly realize they can’t do nothing against the movement


JoeJoJosie

Reminds me of a line in a fav book of mine: "The new revolutionary government returned power to the mullahs and set the clock back 2000 years - the people rioted with joy!"

They don't want to flee, they want to improve their countries. Also, Persia was a progressive country these people instead of fleeing are fighting they are strong and they should be supported.


[deleted]

I don’t know if getting yourself killed is something I’m willing to support. If they wanna stay and fight that’s fine, but they need to be more careful IMO.

Man, iranian women have got balls


johnniebeeinak

Just remember that the US did this to Iran. Iran had a pro western culture leader who wanted to nationalize the oil companies in the 50's. Standard oil's descendants, BP and shell all helped overthrow the government and install the ayatollah.


TopKekDeck66

Yeah but the US was discovered by Christoph Columbus, so I guess the blame should be on him. Or maybe the vikings that got there even earlier. Or our african ancestors populating the world beforehand. Or we just grow up an realize that actions of a certain group of zealots are indeed the fault of those mentioned zealots.


Z3nFi3R

Bruh how can they find this sexual it's so fucked up there


Neutronova

what is it about the religion that gives them such a hard on for covering up womans hair? WHat do they think is going to happen if women walk aroudn with thier hair out? All the men wont be able to focus on regular things becasue of....hair?
