The Shah’s father had the right idea.

A SHOCKING EVENT ON THE EMANCIPATION DAY OF IRANIAN WOMEN
Jan 8, 2006

First, let us read the news: “On January 7, 2006 the 18-year-old Iranian woman who killed a man she said tried to rape her was sadly sentenced to death for murder... On January the 7th, which coincides with Day 17 in Persian Calendar, is in fact a very important day in the History of Iran, and it was used to be called the “Emancipation Day of Iranian Women”. On January 7, 1936 Reza Shah (the founder of Pahlavi dynasty), his wife and daughters attended the graduation ceremony at the Teacher College (in Farsi: Daneshsaray-e-Aali) in Tehran. All women participated in the ceremony were advised to come unveiled. Emancipation of women was officially born. Unveiling was made compulsory and women were banned from wearing the Arabs’ veil (in Farsi:chador) and scarf in public.

Human rights abuses in Iran since the Mullahs took over in 1979

The Shah did execute and imprison many people, some numbers are as high as 2500 people being killed. What most people do not know, is that these people were communist insurgents with direct intent on overthrowing the Peacock Throne by force if necessary. The actions of the Shah were tough by western standards, but that is only because we do not live in countries where the Communist influence is spread by guns and subversives, so when we in the west hear of a government imprisoning people for their political activity, we often do not know that the political activity they were imprisoned for was a plotting to overthrow the present government system, or to organize violence or subversive activity that every government has a right and duty to protect itself against... Were the actions of the students in the late 1980’s a threat to the Mullahs and the Islamic government? Or, were the actions of the Mullahs a violent response to a people just wanting to live free within their own country, angered by the murders of those who failed to live ‘properly’ under Islamic law, murdered because they wore Western style clothes, murdered or imprisoned because they wanted to choose their own leaders instead of live under the death squads of the Mullahs? ...it has been said by the grandson of Ayatollah Khomenie that the Shah killed approximately 2500 people during his 30 year reign. The Mullahs, however, killed almost 100 times that much, killing almost 2,500,000 people since taking over the government in Iran in 1979.

They shouted chants including “Khamenei the traitor must be hanged,” “Guns and tanks and fireworks, the mullahs must be killed” and “Student prisoners must be freed,” witnesses said.

The anti woman regime of Khomeini began its campaign against Iranian women shortly after coming to power in 1979 by sending out fascist street gangs, sometimes led by fanatic women chanting “either head scarf or head bang”, hitting women on their heads and forcing them to disband and obey the new laws. Soon after, women without head scarves or with inadequate cover (!) were purged from all government offices.

“The Jews have come from tragedy and forced the world to respect them,” she said, “with their knowledge, not with their terror; with their work, not with their crying and yelling. We have not seen a single Jew blow himself up in a German restaurant. We have not seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen a single Jew protest by killing people. Only the Muslims defend their beliefs by burning down churches, killing people and destroying embassies. The Muslims must ask themselves what they can do for humankind, before they demand that humankind respect them.”

I was witness to many of the improvements that Reza Pahlavi then Shah of Iran had put into place. Hospitals, roads, schools for girls, girl scouts, lack of chadors. It is a shame the jimmuh sided with the ayatollah and had the Shah of Iran deposed.
