Stop lying to yourself. We all know what I'm talking about. Just go to your local Persian nightclub on a weekend or anywhere else with a noticable Iranian or Arab population and you will notice the same confrontational, macho and rude behaviour. 

Brave lady regardless of her pedigree ...

She definitively doesn't deserve to be humilated and treated as such by a bunch of Pro IRI Thugs.

No more than others by the way:

ROYAL FORUM: Zahra Rahnavard Monarchist Muslim? ;0)

My heart goes to you Mrs. Faezeh Hashemi as well as all other Iranian Women in these testing times.

Best,

DK

Alaaf, speak for your own genes.  The thuggish behavior in the clip is very much that of bullying brownshirts at the service of the Dear Leader, with many examples in other societies.  (Ironically, the main guy in the video abusing Faezeh Hashemi seems to actually be wearing a brown shirt!)  Compare the above clip to the experience this woman relates for about 1 minute of this video:

Comrade, how harassment has been considered in "our penal system" is not necessarily the same as how it's viewed culturally or among the general population.  On the one hand, in Iranian as with other cultures, it's taboo & unchivalrous to treat women w/ such vulgarity.  On the other hand, the abuses hurled at Hashemi clearly have a misogynistic tone intended to humiliate & denigrate a woman.  If you take out the direct references to Rafsanjani himself, you could imagine the brownshirt guy talking like that to his own sister or wife who came home from school an hour later than he instructed her to.

I don't believe this, this is a setup ...

This is just rafsanjani's insurance policy. In case things change, he needs to be a part of it. He is playing it both ways .... otherwise he would have been also under house arrest and the doughter would have been in jail.

.......

Hold on to your sense of civility

It had to come down to this level, one way or another. The intermingled nature of the executive structure of the IRI is not making the process of "total takeover" any easier for the winner: the A.N's camp.

Having said that, let's not flatter ourselves: Harassment was never considered a serious crime or misdemeanor in our penal system. Never.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

you guys are so naive. They're not behaving like this becuase they're hesbolahi or basiji. They're behaving like this becuase they're Iranian. It's in th genes unfortunately.

Also "Akbarshah Akbarshah Akbarshah" I loled really hard.

From bad to worse

The despicable fact that a gang of Islamist Rapists descending on their prey with the foulest of language and brutish behavior, belittling, cowing their prey and her companion, in this case the prey’s nephew, all the while sacred text is being recited over the loud speaker of the shrine’s parking lot is nothing out of the ordinary in IRR; it has been going on for the past 32 years.

The sad fact that from day one of IRR’s existence, this prey’s father has been in the business of running this abominable Rapist Republic, is one of its founders and his large extended family including children have become wealthy beyound their wildest dreams only goes to show in the gang war among the Islamist Rapists things going from bad to worse.

......

The thugs are rude, macho, and provocative!
