Today’s uprising of Muslim women could change the world

(JNS) On the front pages of newspapers around the world, we are now privileged to witness the extraordinary strength of women oppressed by fanatical forms of Islam. In Iran, these women are emerging as our heroines. Young and old, they are willing to expose themselves to imprisonment, violence and potential death in order to achieve liberation. In Iran, they are leading the charge for regime change and thus the end of one of the most evil dictatorships of this century.

There is no sign that these women are slowing down. Yesterday, Vida Movahed, who became known worldwide for a 2017 photo of her standing on a platform in a Tehran street without a veil, with a white scarf raised in protest, was arrested for a third time.

In Afghanistan, misogyny reared its ugly head, as the Taliban government banned women from university education and working with local and foreign NGOs.

It is remarkable that today’s loudest cry for freedom and democracy is coming from one of the most oppressed and vulnerable populations in the world—women in Muslim countries. Theirs is not only a struggle for those rights and freedoms that, since World War II, we have considered humanity’s birthright. In fact, the seeds of this revolution were sown as early as the seventh century, when the first Islamic laws restricting the status of women were enacted. In our time, these iron-fisted laws that define women’s clothing, gender roles, culture, freedom of movement and much else are, at last, under siege. A great revolution is stirring, a liberation movement that the Muslim world has never seen before.

The mohammadmen will kill off all the women in mohammadman countries and their “civilization” will go extinct.

When Trump was POTUS, there were massive riots in the streets of Tehran, because some idiot had downed a Russian passenger plane, and because they were royally fed up with the Ayatollahs on account of Trump’s sanctions and were pleased as punch that Cutsome Salamimommy was made into worm food. And the Republican Guard were firing 12 gauges shotguns into the crowds, but they were not deterred.

I believe they probably had help from the U. S. The issue for
me is, were they favorable to the U. S., and they were.

I’ll take them vs an Islamic Caliphate any day.

Not only were they favorable to the U. S., but they weren’t
a rabid mad-dog type Middle-Eastern enterprise.

They ruled rather decently toward their people, and within
reason they were pretty moderate. Yes, there were some
political prisoners, but there were a few thousand and we
know how difficult that is with uprisings all the time in
the region.

Yes, but in those days it was pretty much available to
everyone. The Pehlavis took to Western ways, and relaxed
the stringent Islamic codes pretty well.

...Muslim women could change the world

They sure are NOT going to change HEAVEN!


John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. niv


Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. kjv
