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”….

Islam is totalitarian and offers NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5,29,111; 98:6-7 and more).
Islam and its Muslims in the West are using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims. Consequently, Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, discrimination, and violence(Quran 9:5,29,111; 98:6-7 and more).
Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise, and its predatory believers continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners(Quran 9:5,29; 49:15; 60:4 and more).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29; 49:15 and more). Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the legal right to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a Crime against Allah; Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-destructive way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:65,89,95; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49,73,88,111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4 and more).

The Iranian male muslims should also be responsible for the oppression toward the Iranian women because they let it happen. But what can we expect from them because they are muslims.
We should understand that muslims who leave their countries claiming their governments are persecuting them actually leave because they don’t get a share of profit from persecuting people. In their new countries, they will try to establish the same system they claim driving them out, the Islamic system, hoping that it is their turn to make profit from persecuting other people, doesn’t matter if it is muslims or not.

There are no mentions of drones or apps in the qur’an or sunnah. Aren’t the Iranians guilty of bida (innovation)?

To all the so-called transwomen out there, why don’t you celebrate your so-called transitions, by going on permanent vacation in Iran, or any Islamic country for that matter? 😉 >:) Mwahaha!
OLD GUY says
Ok college students here is a cause you can stand up for. The safety and equal rights of Women in muslim countries and around the world. The hard part will be there are no hard core leaders to organize and lead you in your marches and chants. You will have to take the leadership role yourself.

The vicious Islamic “morality police” of Iran even go so far as to raise a terrible horrendous brutal fuss over a little bit of hair showing on a woman’s head not only proves true the old saying that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.” But this also further exposes the malicious and oppressive misogyny of Islam and of that Islamic tyranny of Iran.
That horrific vicious and cruel “mullah regime” of Iran is brutal and cruel violator of human rights. Especially regarding the human rights of girls and woman.
For example, to imprison women for not wearing the hijab is but one part of the anti-female tyranny of this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran.
That ruthless cruel brutal heinous Islamic 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].
That brutal cruel Islamic tyrannical regime of Iran is full of ruthless malicious misogyny.
On the topic of this Islamic tyranny of Iran 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 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.

It’s very unlikely that many of those brave and courageous Iranians who are protesting against the cruel misogynistic oppressive and murderous tyranny of that brutal and despicable Islamic regime of Iran are aware of the wise Latin saying “Nil carborundum illegitimi ” meaning “Don’t let the bastards grind you down” but those Iranian people are going by the spirit of that old saying by their righteous rebellion against that horrific regime
For as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei along the other ayatollahs and mullahs as well as their Islamic state “police.”
Death for a for a slight infringement of Sharia regarding the proper wearing of her hijab was an horrendous action of evil by them ,therefore they are most despicable malice-filled Muslim villains in power in that tyrannical and oppressive Islamic regime of Iran.
Walter Sieruk says
That heinously cruel and murderous Islamic tyranny of Iran is very brutal and vicious to the Iranian people. Especially regarding females. Both girls and women.
The murder of Mahsa Amini is very sad and tragic and that horrendous evil of her being murdered is because of the oppressive vicious brutal cruel and deadly misogynistic Islamic regime of Iran.
That action of male Muslim who are officials murdering defenseless, helpless women in cold blood is a heinous and hideous has occurred before and if that murderous Islamic regime isn’t overthrown such wicked killing will continue
Another example of such callous despicable heartless anti-female evil is when 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.

That brutal cruel oppressive misogynistic tyranny of that Islamic regime of Iran is based on Sharia which denies basic human rights is viciously harsh oppressive to girls and women. For
Islam’s Sharia supports forcing females to wear the hijab which is symbol of the misogyny of Islam with its Sharia.
Therefore, it should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia had been revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995 ” For that future history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
Therefore Sharia is of pagan origin and therefore has no value or worth.
Walter Sieruk says
That Islam tyranny of that oppressive cruel and brutal of Iran is based on Islam with its Sharia is, very much, anti-female towards both girls and women.
The is hijab are demeaning and degrading to females , both girls and women.
The hijab is one of the many aspects of the oppressive misogyny of Islam.
A scholar of Islam had revealed the disturbing horrible truth in her book “Control of behavior and disregard for human life are key elements in Islam ideology.” Furthermore, the author also exposed that `” Women is Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [1]
