Hi! AmirKabir,

   Morality police should be disbanded....they should stop harassing people and telling people what to wear.....they should go to get a real job!

   This is what happens when you don't wear hejab...they drag you into a police car:

Yes, lovely Lebanese ladies! Enjoy your freedom while it lasts! Once your country is overrun by Islamists, like ours was, youll start seeing the great benefits of having an Islamic system that youve sold yourself to. First it will be this:

Surviving thanks to money

by JG on

The Iranian regime does not represent the majority of the Iranian people. The high oil prices have made fascist systems like the IRI extremely rich.  Thanks to this money, the regime can afford to pay IRGC or the secret police, and artificially stays alive, However, there is no example in history of such a system surviving eternally.

The rulers of Iran try to forget their fate, by travelling to the Lebanon in this example.

I didn't write "only". I wrote for the "most part".

The Iranians visiting you from Iran were Jews or Baha'is.  I am talking about Muslims here. Sure the minorities will take the scarfs off. they are minorities.  The claim Anvar made was, if there was no force, all Iranian women would not wear hejab. If she had said, some, i can accept that, but all or majority, is not true. I gave the Reza Shah example that rejects her claim.

Onlyiran,

Now, i see some logic in your latest comment. That is what i wrote in the beginning. The problem is that everyone is trying to force others to think like them. One is chador, the other bikini.

Just you all remember, you don't have the same equal rights with respect to iran as the Iranians living in Iran. In fact, some have no rights and must be put on trial for supporting sanctions and promoting millitary actions. They should be treated as enemies.

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

But vast majority of Iranians are devout muslims and we can not afford offending them by coming across as anti muslim. So go on exposing islamists for the fascist hypocites they are but dont offend muslims. (by muslims I mean Iranian muslims not this few "saghir" and "fearful" west residing agents of islamist regime here). You'll find that there is simply no room for any form of religious ideology in advanced industrial states, apart from the loony fringes of the society.

I am not naive enough to believe that overnight, we can change.

I agree that most Iranians are muslims (undeniable), but I disagree that most are devout. Perhaps some are - again undeniable. Iranians, unfortunately, put self interest first, be it ahead of religion or anything else. All of these people now catering to the Islamist regime - inside and outside Iran - will switch allegiances the minute the plane loaded with the bearded traitor mullahs reaches cruising altitude (or earlier).

Again, I do not dispute the obvious and the truth, but if islam was our first priority, you and I would perhaps be exchnaging thoughts in a different fashion.

The regime is doing a fine job educating Iranians. On how rotten living under real Islam is. We just need to make sure to point out this *is* *real* Islam. Do not let the apologists get away with whitewashing it. That is what is going to be the fight next time.

The concept was an expression of xenophobia by some small minded Iranians. This was popularized by a specially xenophobic man "Jalal Al Ahmad". Now for some reason to these people acting like Arabs was perfectly fine. However acting Western was not. 

Personally I do not fear other cultures. We can and must learn from them. Of course it is silly to spend a week in London and start speaking with a phony British accent. However it is just a silly for an Iranian to speak like AN with more Arabic than Persian.

Pick the best part of other cultures and learn from it. I will gladly wear a Swiss watch but I am still Iranian. AN may live in Iran but he is a dyed in the wool Arab. Maybe we need to talk about Tazi-Zadegi? Or Islam-Zadegi.

Trouble is that even those who speak agaisnt the islamic regime, see it and islam as separate entities, where as this IS TRUE Islam - whther they like it not.

Not necessarily.  I personally realize that the IRI is a creation of Iran's Islamic culture.  However, we have to be realistic.  For good or bad, the majority of Iranians are Muslims, and a lot of them are devout Muslims.  There is no way on this planet that anyone can change this fact overnight, and in fact, the opposition, by even attempting to do so, can come across as out of touch and insulting to people's beliefs. Plus, if our aim is a pluralistic, democratic society, we have to respect others' beliefs and practices.  If someone of free will wants to put on a chador and believe that she has to fast 30 days a year to get into heaven, how is it any of my business to interfere with those beliefs and practices?  So long as people practice their religion--whatever religion that may be--in private and without forcing it upon others, I personally don't have a problem with it.

Once this regime is gone, one can educate the people about the perils of superstition and blind devotion, but now is not the time.

Thank you for you words on reason. I am hopeful that many Iranians are finding the problem *is* Islam. Just 30 years ago neither me nor many of my friends rejected Isxlam as the problem. Thanks to IRI we do now and we teach others about it.

The one group that is no getting it is some Politically Correct  types in the USA. Most my Iranian friends totally get the problem. Unfortunately I have American friends who still look to AN as a way to "stand up" to American bullying. Poor souls don't realize if Islamists got their way it would be a million times worse than anything the USA does to them.

Be Omied Azadi as nekbate Islam.

I agree with your statement only partially and only because the concept of mard saalary and treating women as sex objects only is an institutionalized matter in Islam. Therefore, there's no such thing as a womman wanting to wear hijab on her own accord, even if she believes that to be the case.

Hope this is clear.

these people including this amirsaghir character have their collective head up their islamist butts. They forget the fact that Persians have resisted arabization for centuries, so this little snag shall pass too.

The bigger issue, which thankfully has been helped by the existence of the islamic anti-iranian regime, is when will these people realize that islam brings nothing but misery. Just look at all the islamic countries. Look at our next door neighbor afghanistan.

Trouble is that even those who speak agaisnt the islamic regime, see it and islam as separate entities, where as this IS TRUE Islam - whther they like it not.

There would have been nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with Ms. Farahani's hijab, had it not been compulsory.
I personally regard her appearance rather avant-garde.

Amir Kabir

by Simorgh5555 on

With every passing statement your Islamist ideologies are becoming more and more apparent despite trying to disguise yourself as some middle of the road thinker.

So only gharb zade Iranian women living in the West want to remove their hijabs?  Have you actually been to Iran, Tehran particularly, to see the way young women dress in defiance of the repressive Islamic dress code imposed on them? Any traveller to Tehran would be amazed by the amount of lip stick, maschara, foundation and hair highlights women apply to comepnsate for the ugly hijab they are forced to wear. Even their hijab is not fully covering their hair and they expose as much hair as possible short of actually being stopped. 

When this gets too much for the filthy Islamic terrorists they send in the Gashte Ershad  Islamic fashion police to patrol the shopping malls and other public places in order to enforce the ugly rag  against the will of women. 

There isn't a single Iranian women I know (both old and young) who has lived in Iran and has not been stopped by an ugly brute or a facially disfigured Fati commando for flouting the Islamic rag code.

The fact that you have not mentioned any of this in your posts show you are not in Iran yourself to experience first hand what it is like or indifferent to the suffering of thousands of Iranian women who have to contend with a denial of their liberty.

But carry on: the more you speak the more of the Islamist we see in you.

I was at a large Iranian party. Many of them were visiting from Iran. There were over 90 people. Only two wore scarfs. So in your idiotic reasoning all of them were kids. Including the women with several children each.

I know Islam rots the mind but you truly demonstrate it.

PS:

1) We love Iran. We just don't love you. Nor do we love the Arab worshipers like your "god" Khomeini.

2) If you loved Iran you would not put Arabs and Hizbolah above Iranians.

I wrote, for the most part. those who take their scarf leaving Iran on the plane are western-Iranians. Who travels out of Iran by plane? Iranians who live abroad for the most part.

second, these are children and not grown ups. If you pay attention, their mothers are wearing scarf. So there goes your claim.

You, the the western-Iranian who has sworn to uphold another countries interest cannot speak for majority of Iranians in Iran and force your adopted bikini culture on them. It is up to them to change. If you really and truly loved Iran, you wouldn't have changed your citizenship. It is that simple. You willingly change that and with that went most of your Iranian rights.

By this definition all Iranians who have lived in Iran all their lives are "American". How about my relatives who come to visit here? If they are "Iranian American" then why do they use Iranian passports? Why does their passport say "born in Iran". Why do they need a visa? How is it that for countless generations they have lived in Iran.

Again the Arab worshipers want to redefine what Iranians are. The Arabs tried it 1400 years ago. They want to replace Iranian identity with Islamic. Be honest! But honesty and Islamism do not mix. You are not fooling anyone.

I agree that chador should not be forced and it is not. You speak of wearing the traditional dress and many do so and don't have any problems in Iran.  

You wrote, if there was no force, people would take them off. On the contrary, Reza Shah used force and people didn't take them off. So you are wrong. You keep speaking for other Iranians in Iran, as if what you want, is what they want. Well you are wrong. I personally have no problem if people dress nice without Islamic hejabs, but as long as people don't take that to extremes as in west. That is what the majority and the government don't want to happen.  Although, Iranian-Americans and European-Americans have managed in their travels to introduce western culture to younger generation and they are trying to copy that through drugs, prostitution, wild parties and etc.

You wrote, why those who believe in chador take them off in USA because they feel embarrassed.

NO, they feel threatened by this freedom loving democratic society. Thy are avoiding getting harassed and beaten and killed.  They feel less of that in Europe and less in other countries. So you are wrong again.

As for the guests wearing scarf. Iran is upfront with them about this condition as France has passed a law and telling take the hejab off. Other countries have the right to do the same, if they want to.  I agree that Iran shouldn't criticize them for such laws, if Iran wants to enforce her own law.  I think Iran shouldn't have such conditions for visitors. It not only is not right, they also lose billions in tourism.

If in one/two generations

by kazem0574 on

If in one/two generations from now IRI is still there (goosheh-sheytoon-Kar), the only way to keep this Hejab would be by force.
By the 2nd generation I really doubt most Iranian women peasant/working/middle class would want to wear it unless at a point of a gun.

World has moved on with advances in communication such as internet, and has dragged the unwilling IRI with it. I can not imagine that the children of our children would want to wear Hejab by choice.
IRI is also doing an excellent job weakening Islam in Iran and it’s all a matter of time. “

by Onlyiran on

First of all, the freedom that you enjoy on this space in debating issues is the same type of value that you despise and which the IRI denies the people of Iran.

Second, if you were Iranian and had actually visited Iran within at least the past two decades, you would have noticed that the overwhelming majority of Iranians are highly educated, tolerant and peaceful people who do not wish to impose any kind of an ideology, let alone a dress code, on others.

Third, even if what you say is true (which it is not) good ideas, even if they are from foreign sources, can be introduced into a society (any society).  Freedom to choose how to dress is one of those ideas.

Imposition of Values

by Anvar on

The moment an airplane leaves the Iranian airspace, the female passengers utter a collective sigh of relief and remove their head scarves!  Why is that?  Is there something in the air or is it the ghost of Reza Shah forcing them to become instantaneously immodest?

If Chador is a part of Iranian culture, and presumably freely embraced by women, then how come most Iranian women who live in or visit a free country in the west do not wear Chadors?  Even the most ardent supporters of the Islamic Republic, including the so-called ‘Sandis-khor-haa’, refrain from wearing Chadors in the west. 

Indian women proudly wear their beautiful Saris, as a cultural symbol, everywhere.  Why don’t the Iranian women proudly show off their Chadors in countries where they have the freedom of choice?  Could it be that most Iranian women find shame, and not pride, in wearing Chadors?  Could it be that many consider the ubiquitous Hijab in Iran a symbol of oppression and not a freely-chosen token of cultural heritage?  Could it be that most Iranian women find forced pompous modesty an affront to their independence, intelligence, and integrity?

Isn’t it plausible that most women in Iran, given a choice, would immediately do away with all sorts of Hijabs?  If so, then Chadors have no enduring cultural value in Iran.

There is a time and a place for everything.  It would certainly make sense to wear a Chador when one visits Islamic holy places in Iran.  If I were a woman, and wanted to visit such a place, I would respectfully wear the appropriate garb for the duration of the visit.  As such, I can understand why a foreign dignitary at an official state dinner in Iran would be requested or required to cover her hair. 

If IRI expects the foreign guests to match and respect the customs of the Iranian hosts, then it is only fair that we Iranians expect our representatives to match and respect the customs of the host countries when we are the guests. 

We tell them how to behave in our house; and we behave as we want in their house!

When the hostess in Lebanon is showing up in a manner considered to be normal by international standards, it is disrespectful and disgraceful for the guests to show up like this - so inelegantly.  I wish the “First Lady” would at least wear one of the many beautiful and colorful tribal costumes that are prevalent in our multi-ethnic background.  Hiding beneath a black piece of cloth is not a part, nor symbolic, of our free-spirited national culture!    

On the world stage - I wish the representatives from the Islamic Republic of Iran would focus more on representing the “Iran” part of the name and less the “Islamic” part of it.  Not every man has to have a beard and not every woman has to wear a Chador.  These maybe a part of the culture of few Iranian Muslims, and that is fine; but let’s not pretend that all, or even most, of the Iranians want to be represented like this.  Many Iranians cringe when they see the supposedly Persian-speaking president of Iran starts out his speeches at United Nations with nonsensical Arabic verses that even the interpreters are at times too embarrassed to translate (nothing against the beautiful arabic language).  But hey, be proud of symbolism.  Elimination of all neckties from the country has proven to the world that we are now an Independent Nation!   

I don’t have a problem with beard or Hijab per se.  People should be free to adorn themselves as they wish.  My problem is that some arrogant self-righteous necktie-less bearded men and Chadori women have taken the same freedom away from me and my loved ones.    

Some people do not know how to extend common courtesy to others and just want to impose their own values on everybody, in any environment, and under any circumstance.
