This is the shocking moment an Iranian woman is dragged across the street and beaten as the crowd cheers because she was dancing and not wearing a hijab.

The woman can be seen standing in the central reservation of a busy road as she is jeered by men in the city of Rasht, on Iran‘s Caspian Sea coast.
A crowd appear to be in a stand-off with the woman before a few men approach her, with one grabbing her around the head and forcing her to the ground.
He then takes hold of her ankles and brutally drags her over the tarmac, prompting a massive cheer from the crowd of men.

After she is released she gets to her feet and goes towards her attacker you knocks her onto her backside with a hit to the face.
According to Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad she was set upon because her head was uncovered and she was dancing.
The victim can be heard shrieking throughout the footage as men laugh in the background.
The video then cuts to her having been released and walking away, though clearly still traumatised by what has just gone on.
The Islamic dress code, in place since the 1979 revolution, considers veiling obligatory for any female above 13 in Iran and says they should cover themselves from head to toe while disavowing any figure-hugging dress.
Breaking the rules can result in fines of up to 500,000 rials (£17) and up to two months in prison.

President Hassan Rouhani, who came to power in 2013 promising a more moderate stance, has previously said it is not the job of police to enforce religious rules such as those forcing women to cover their hair.
But in April 2016, officials said there were 7,000 undercover morality police reporting on things like ‘bad hijab’ – a blanket term usually referring to un-Islamic dress by women.
Figures are rarely given, but Tehran’s traffic police said in late 2015 they had dealt with 40,000 cases of bad hijab in cars, where women often let their headscarves drop around their necks.
These cases generally led to fines and a temporary impounding of the vehicle.

Pamela, we have there a culture that is so foreign to what we have in the free world, that the only way of dealing with it is to keep them within their own sphere of influence, which essentially means keeping them among their own kind and keeping them out of the free world societies. These people have adopted mores, conduct and culture that treats women as chattel (property), that does not accept due process and equal protection laws, that are totally intolerant of anyone but their own kind, and that have expectations and needs to convert everyone to only their belief system, overthrow all non-Islamic societies, and generally promote hate and violence. Until this world accepts those factors that I describe in this commentary, they will forever represent a clear and present danger to and in the free world.

Horrific! And to think this is what the democratic Congress wants in our country.
I might be wrong every city council seat was contest by f’ing muslums in a recent election, but only one muslum won a seat. It looks like a large Asian population in Irvine may have pre-empted the muslum vermin.
Yes well, they are in many more cities, all up and down CA. I was shocked to see, just last week, three filthies in dirty night shirts, lay out a prayer rug in front of Starbucks, in the southern San Joaquin Valley (they couldn’t have waited?), so they could pray over their coffee, or whatever the hell they do. So, they’re everywhere.
In Irvine it’s mostly Iranian muslum scum.
It was an Iranian Shitite “doctor” who prescribed my Jewish friend a daily dose of 8mg of coumandin, which wouldn’t be a prophylactic dosage unless euthanasia were the treatment.

Iranian Mullahs (who hate women) are part of the Antifada / Deep State resistance too. Let that sink in.
While fake feminists spent the last year fetishizing & normalizing the hijab, real feminists in Iran discarded it in protest against actual oppression.
Agree. Left/Lib pro-jihadis are also suppressing conservative, patriots chritsian posts that exposes the crimes they commit and allow jihadis/illegals to continue !
Like this news of brutal gang rape of swedish girl and what they did to her later is even worse http://bit.ly/2z2rVov
But it was suppressed /played down !

muzzies are nutters just like the crazy commies, and other religious fanatics, but there seems to be way more of them and they tend to be way more violent on a daily basis

Western women should be forced to watch these photos. Schools should teach this, instead of the Islamic principles to schoolkids…..And to think western women (Women’s March) celebrate ‘World Hijab Day’.

Such women in Iran or anywhere else that’s dark are the definition of brave.
Standing up and unsupported when every hand is against you.
Print off those pictures and thrust them into the faces of those here who think head bags symbolise feminin freedom.

She looked like she had a white head covering and was wearing a long loose coat/dress. What is the problem with these barbarians? The problem is that they want women’s to be invisible.
Such is islamic culture.

Can’t wait to hear Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) passionately defend this poor woman and condemn her horrific attack…..
“growing”? It’s been there for decades if not centuries! It’s no accident that Zoroastrians have been, for allah practical purposes, completely ethnically cleansed from the birthplace of their faith (i.e. Persia).

So, can we assume then that the same people calling for Ubama’s help in 2009 no longer exist and therefore we need not worry about collateral damage resulting from the impending air strikes against Iran?
