Don't get caught without your hijab - it's the law in Shariatown...

This is Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi during her virtual "Caravanserai Concert" livestreamed online. She performed traditional and patriotic songs in a sleeveless black dress without wearing a mandatory hijab. 
An Iranian appeals court recently upheld a sentence of 74 lashes, a two-year travel ban, and a two-year ban on artistic activities against her and members of her production team.
What is the significance of 74 lashes versus any other number? Well, I guess a bunch of bearded towel heads got together in a room and that was as high as all of them could count on their fungers and toes. 
A sentence of 74 lashes in Iran is a standard corporal punishment under the country's Islamic penal code (derived from an interpretation of Sharia) designated for offenses against public morality, such as violating mandatory hijab laws, public indecency, or "publishing falsehoods".
Sharia sounds like so much fun, doesn't it?

  2. And dumb ass women vote for this shit for us. Even Jewish women. Do these fools think that Muslims like Mamdami, Abdul El-Shithead, Tim Walz, Ratshita Talib, Chuck Schumer at the rest of them wont install this if they get enough power.

    1. Before you go all xenophobe you need to get your groups in a row... Schumer is Jewish and Walz is Evangelical. On the other hand Dr Oz is in fact Muslim

    3. You believe that people that use words you can't pronounce or understand are self righteous?
      That says a lot more about you than about them.
      Google is free. Google the word xenophobe and you may learn something new today. Maybe even a word you can use to describe yourself!
