My interest to Iranian.com.

by comments on

I believe if one performs the premeditated killing of
another human being
or himself, he is a murderer.  There
is no justification.  Now the subject is if being a murderer is okay or
not.

I like Iranian.com, and I love to donate because it is an un-biased media, which embraces freedom leading to awareness of Iranians about human rights. Understanding of human rights encourages respecting the lives and rights
of other human beings including dearly loved Iranians.  As a result, the most of readers oppose killing
and murdering acts, which mainly committed by IRI people, and in a small partby MKO.

I wish Iranians in Iran, which are almost all, are able to access to Iranian.com.

Have you actually read the Qur'an? I really get the impression you haven't even touched it.  This isn't about the hadiths and as you put it the "wrong interpretation of the Qur'an".

You say, "Women have to stand for their rights and they should not given men any authority in any aspects of their lives including religion."  

May I urge you to please read the Surah Al- Nisa at least before you come out with such unbelievable statements! 

On the other hand, I fully agree with those who believe that main problem is not just Islam, it is a cultural problem beyond any religion.

Belief vs reality: Blaming the victim

 "It's often difficult to understand why people behave the way they do, even people we know well.   It's often far more difficult to understand why people who are very different from us act in ways that we consider inexplicable, particularly when those actions threaten harm to large numbers of people, including themselves.

"This is often because we make the logical fallacy of assuming that most people think and reason like we do, or to put it another way, that they will acknowledge what we consider to be objective facts about reality as true and valid.  Unfortunately, with people who are fanatics, dogmatic ideologists or whose minds are ruled more by their emotions (especially the negative emotions of fear and anger) than by rationality, this isn't the case. Your standard "Tea Party" Republican Representative in Congress usually combines all three of these traits. {{This applies to your standard Hezbollahi and basiji zealot and those Islamic feminists  who often behave against their own best interest in the long run.}}

I am not insulting anyone

by Soosan Khanoom on

I am not insulting anyone here.  Women have to stand for their rights and they should not given men any authority in any aspects of their lives including religion. yes whether you like it or not religion has been part of human society and will be. It is better for women to take their affairs in their own hands and that includes religion as well.

We have religious fanatics and we have anti-religion fanatics ... both are ignorant ..... 

Thank you for your tolerance but if you were a tolerent person you would not call this putting lipsticks on a pig ...

I do not want to discuss things further either ..... PERIOD

Just because I do not follow your ideology or any other religion does not mean I have not investigated them. As you know I support the right of people to practice their religions or wearing hijab in a free secular (democratic) society – I have made this clear on many blogs. However backward or medieval these ideologies are I think people have a right to chose to follow them and practice them in peace.

Unfortunately you cannot think outside your own constraints of Religion and try to put lipstick on a pig. Insulting peoples intelligence/ education and above all women sounds too desperate. But I do not want to engage in futile exchanges with you, so respect your right to make whatever judgments you want to make.

Be a true seeker and study it yourself ....... 


Do not buy into anything that has been force fed to you in the name of Islam including hadiths as well as wrong interpretation of Quran which can easily be detected at the link you posted.   

Sharia law is nothing but BS ...... bunch of man made laws and by man made I mean "  MALE " made laws ......

Recently and for the first time in the history  a woman named , Laleh Bakhteir, translated Quran.  Unfortunately she faced many criticism but why?  How dare they?  Who has given these men this authority ?  I tell you who ..... women ... yes women did 

For the first time in the history a woman named, Amnieh Vadud, a University professor in the U.S, decided to be  Emam and conduct prayers for both women and men.  Unfortunately she faced many criticism to the point that she was not allowed to enter to any mosque to do so but why?  How dare they?  Who has given these men this authority ?  I tell you who ..... women ... yes women did 

All because of lack of the right education  ...... Women are number one reason that these men get to act like an authority in their religion.

Please can you explain how this will be achieved when you quote "The only way to help is to enter through the door of religion and teach them that they can fight back and gain their rights using the very same weapon (religion)". Islam sees women as inferiors in the eyes of the law.

Islamic Laws for Women

My previous comment was not in support of Islam  . I was highlighting attitudes that run in the Middle East towards women and general intolerance towards all things but ones own beliefs.

.....

by Soosan Khanoom on

Women are the only ones that should stand for their rights cause men are not going to give it to them ... The burden is on the enlightened women of the society to help unenlightened ones . Education is the key to break away from the culture that has enslaved women for thousands years. This culture has nothing to do with the religion. If we can distinguish between religion and culture then we can help these women whose lives have been tangled with ignorance and injustices.  The problem with the female intellectuals in our society is that they blame religion for it and they distant themselves from the religion of the very same class of women that they are wanting to rescue. Unfortunately Iranian so called enlightened women do not understand that how religion has been playing role not only in the lives of these women but also in their minds. The only way to help is to enter through the door of religion and teach them that they can fight back and gain their rights using the very same weapon (religion) that men has been using to let them down ..... 

We have to learn to speak the language that they speak to help them getting out from this misery until then these type of problems will go no where. These problems were existed under pervious regime, they exist now and they are going to still exist in one form or another under any other future regimes.

I agree with you when you say it is a society’s culture that hinders progress. Even if/ when IR goes I believe we will still have huge problems due to attitudes.

Too distrubing to watch

by Raoul1955 on

The entire clip, and also hard to read the subtitles when the domain name partially covers them.
Sad to see that the Iranian women have to wear the traditional Persian/Iranian black chador and have limited rights under the islamic state.   But that was their choice.
These folks had a wonderful king and a totally Westernized ruling elite, but ... they preferred an islamic imam...
A reminder that [although] a social revolution can happen overnight, it takes generations for a society to undergo the cultural evolution needed to embrace secular values.   It is these people’s culture that has created so many problems for them, and not the United States.  Actually the US has helped these little countries for decades…
Remember Egypt?  Here are the muslims demanding for an islamic state there, again it is a society’s culture that hinders progress.

Invisible desperate individuals.

by comments on

I agree it's really sad and probably all trials are unfair.  At the same time, I wish we could have seen similar cases in other countries in the same video.   I believe the problem of present Iran is much bigger than watching possible victims, which could happen all around the world.  I feel more about invisible desperate individuals including women who live in Iran.

Women need to fight back

by jasonrobardas on

against oppression ..........gender apartheid........discrimination........bullying .......male dominated social norms......tyranny .....

Women's share of  the  oppression is much  greater in our society........... 1) for being an iranian citizen . 2) for being a woman

Truly heartrending

by Princess on

There are no words to describe what these women have had to go through and the injustices done to them by their families and the society, no words...

Total desperation

by Jahanshah Javid on

Too often victims of domestic abuse who have no way of defending themselves, no way of getting out of a nightmarish marriage, no legal system to protect them... very very sad.
