The Qur’an says: “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. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.
“Woman arrested for not wearing a hijab while being attacked by a man on street,” by Gergana Krasteva, Metro, November 13, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A woman has been detained for not wearing a hijab while being harassed by a man in Iran’s capital of Tehran.
Footage circulating on X and seen by Metro shows a motorcyclist ambushing the victim on a street in the middle of the day.
She has been identified as Roshanak Molaei Alishah, a Turkish woman from Tabriz in the East Azerbaijan Province.
In a CCTV video, the 25-year-old is seen trying to push off her attacker from his bike, shouting at him and berating him for his actions.
What it also shows is that she was not wearing a head covering made mandatory as part of the Islamic Republic’s draconian laws dictating the lives of women and girls in the country.
Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, a Norway-based Kurdish NGO, revealed that Roshanak has since been detained by security forces, and her fate remains unknown.
She was previously also arrested and imprisoned for participating in the protests for the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ movement following the killing in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa (Jina) Amini.
Separately, the Center for Human Rights in Iran said that the victim was detained on November 3 after posting the video in which she confronted her harasser.
In the days to follow the video has been deleted while her account suspended….

Poor woman. May no longer be alive.
The *authorities* probably say she deserved the harassment.

under the Shaw Iran had lots more freedom–same with Afganistan–esp for women–there are pics proving this before the religious nuts took over
SC says
We need to sneak an uzi with a million round mag [disney make them] to every female in Iran. Pretty sure they are nearly all ready to deal with the males especially the zealots.

Now we know how Islamic dress code is protecting women. If women don’t wear it, they will get openly attacked, abused, raped and jailed by devoted muslims.
And it is not the fault of the muslim who attack the women, it is the fault of the women for not wearing Islamic dresses, because male muslims are basically sex animals who are always lust for sex, they are the best people of allah therefore they can abuse and rape women, men and children who defy allah’s command and still get rewarded by allah.

Islamic Republic of Iran: Woman arrested for not wearing hijab while being attacked by man on street
…………………………….
So attacking a woman on the street is just fine–but not weaing a Hijab is not. Sounds Islamic to me.
I hope this poor woman is OK–or at least still alive.

The bravery of such women is jaw-dropping. They have an entire regime against them.
What they are enduring will also be in Europe soon enough.
