Has anyone informed Iran that it's the 21st century, not the 7th?
Iran intensifies surveillance on women to enforce hijab law, using drones and apps
All freedom fighters in Iran are in danger, but female dissidents are particularly heroic and vulnerable because they face additional crackdowns and violence due to their gender. The Qur’an commands full coverings for women (Quran 24:31, Quran 33:59), allows husbands to beat and otherwise discipline (Qur’an 38:44, 4:35) their wives, and even rape (Qur’an 2:222) them. Iran follows strict Sharia; women are deemed inferiors (Qur’an 2:282).
Drones, informers and apps: Iran intensifies surveillance
on women to enforce hijab law
by Deepa Parent, Guardian, March 24, 2025:
Like many women in Iran, Darya is used to feeling under surveillance. Yet in recent months, the 25-year-old finance analyst from northern Tehran says that she never knows who could be watching her every move.
She says she has received messages from the police before warning her of suspected violations of the country’s strict hijab laws, but last November she was sent an SMS message containing her car registration plate that stated the exact time and place that she had been recorded driving without her head properly covered. Next time it happened, the SMS warned, her car would be impounded.
“It was really unsettling,” she says.
“When you receive these messages you don’t know who has reported you – and the police never seem to have proof of the violation.”
After widespread outcry last year, the Iranian authorities said they would suspend enforcement of the new, strict, hijab laws, which impose draconian penalties – including fines and prison sentences – on women found in breach of the mandatory dress code.
Yet women in Iran are reporting that state surveillance has been steadily increasing.
Last week, the UN’s fact-finding mission reported on Iran’s increasing reliance on digital surveillance such as its Nazer mobile application, a state-backed reporting platform that allows citizens and police to report women for alleged violations.
The app is accessible only via Iran’s state-controlled National Information Network. Members of the public can apply to become “hijab monitors”….
Afghanistan: Bride banned from attending her own wedding
The whole idea is to prevent men from getting temptation. If that leads to ridiculous scenes such as this one, so be it.
Inside the high-ranking Taliban wedding where the BRIDE
was banned from attending
by Perkin Amalaraj and Ed Holt, Daily Mail, March 25, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
For most weddings around the world, it’s generally expected that those getting married would be allowed at the venue.
Not so for high-ranking members of the Taliban.
Unsurprisingly, members of the regressive terror group have a backwards view on marriage, and how wedding ceremonies ought to be held as one western ‘explorer’ found out after he was granted rare access to the event.
The wedding, held at the Uranus Wedding Palace in northern Kabul, was attended by ‘thousands’, but was entirely segregated.
Video footage, taken by Miles Routledge, showed a massive white hall adorned with gold ornaments and decorations entirely filled with men at dozens of tables.
He told MailOnline that all the women were in a ‘separate, identically sized venue next door’, adding that there were roughly as many as the men.
The youtuber was also invited to the nikah, an integral part of Islamic weddings in which a formal marriage contract is signed by both the groom and bride.
While ordinarily, both the bride and groom are needed to sign the contract, the Taliban appeared to take a different approach this time round.
In keeping with the regressive nature of the Taliban, which has cracked down harshly on women’s rights over the last few years, the bride was not present at the nikah.
Instead, the male members of the bride and groom’s families sat together in a closed off room and went through the formal process on their behalf….
As a part of the celebration, the groom was given money as a gift and guests could have their hands painted with henna tattoo.
Dainty, white confetti was chucked over the lonesome groom as he sat at the head of the wedding….
The extremes Muslim men have to go through because they appear to have absolutely no self control. Self control is a Christian virtue, but not, apparently, a Muslim virtue.
Another example of Islamic self-control and men's hatred of women
Nigeria: Muslim flogs his wife to death in an argument over Ramadan food
There is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islam doesn’t teach that man may kill his wife, but once you’ve allowed him to beat her, accidents will happen.
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Bauchi bizman arrested for flogging wife to death over Ramadan food
Punch, March 3, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested a businessman, Nuru Isah, for allegedly flogging his 24-year-old wife Wasila Abdulahi, to death over an argument about the ingredients and fruits designated for breaking the Ramadan fast.
PUNCH Metro gathered from a statement by the Bauchi Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, on Sunday, that the incident occurred on Saturday night in the Fadamam Mada area of the state.
Isah was said to have flogged Wasilah, who was his second wife, till she collapsed, and upon her collapse, she was rushed to a hospital where she was confirmed dead.
Wakil stated, “This unfortunate event arose from a misunderstanding between one Alhaji Nuru Isah, aged 50, a businessman at Central Market Bauchi and his second wife, Wasila Abdullahi, aged 24, concerning handling food ingredients and fruits designated for breaking the Ramadan fast, which escalated into a violent confrontation.
“Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect, Alhaji Nuru Isah, is accused of using a cane to strike his wife, which resulted in her collapsing and becoming unconscious within their matrimonial residence.
“The victim was subsequently transported to the ATBU Teaching Hospital, where medical personnel confirmed her death.”…
So, was Isah charged with manslaughter, or is there some ruling in the Quran that makes it OK for a man to go hysterical and beat his wife to death in an argument over food?
