Yesterday, Fatemeh Alia , head of women’s fraction of parliament of Iran’s Islamic regime in her speech requested restricter control of women dressing. In her speech she said  :” roots of many of social violence and harrasments is in the women themselves. Women with their own clothing show if they want to be harrassed and harmed or not“. !!!

I am not sure which women Ms. Alia associates with but I have not met any normal woman (or human being for that matter) who wants to be harrassed, harmed or be subjected to violence. Blaming women for being the cause of rapes, violence etc. is nothing new in the thinking of Islmic regime who wants to blame women so that men in the male dominant society that they have created do not assume responsibility for their actions. In my view her second sentence is nothing but an indirect ultimatum to Iranian women that they must adhere to the forced clothing or they will be harmed!!! As old as 2500 years ago Iranian women had roles such as ruler of the persian empire, heads of army, musicians, artists, etc and it is obvious that the Ms. Alia is not a true representative of Iranian women’s sentiment.  

That is the same mentality that initially held Nazanin Fatehi responsible for the rape attempt to the extent that the first verdicts were death sentence for excercising her right to self defense. It was only after international pressure and publicity that the regime’s judiciary eventually shifted the responsibility to the rapist for the “harm, harrasment and violence” that he has caused and not the victim.

1953: Support of Coup to overthrow the elected popular Iranian prime minister Mosadgeh.

(result US apology 40 years later………)

1960-1970’s: CIA Support and training of Shah’s SAVAK which was responsible for tortures and killing of Iranians.

(US regrets as it all ended in Islamic revolution later……..) 

2007: Promoting regional instabilities in Iran. Preparing for military intervension.

(result: Islamic regime gaining support, death and suffering……..) 

When will US foreign policy makers learn from the cosequences of their mistakes and stop intervention in Iran, instead of supporting and trusting the struggles of Iranians for a democratic nation?!

According to Faemeh Alia, the head of women’s fraction of Parliament of Islamic regime in Iran, there are approximately 10.3 million Iranian under the poverty line and in need of help. In an interview with Fars news agency she said that 17 percent of the country’s population are in need of public service and under poverty line.  Referring to the poor she added: ” A large number of women are head of households and not supported by any center or organizations”. 

May be the Islamic regime in Iran should first think of the 10.3 million of its own populatoin before threatening Isreal, worrying about holocaust, making nuclear bomb and helping Hamas and Hezbollah !!

The following is the recent government sponsored tests

given to the teachers in Iran.

Iran’s national teachers’ representative body protested after the test was given to diploma and higher-diploma level teachers in Tehran province. Teachers were given 30 hours off classroom duties to study a biography of the Islam prophet Mohammad as written by the late Ayatollah Muhammad Tabatabai, a Shia philosopher whose teachings inspired many senior figures in Iran’s Islamic revolutionary movement.

I suppose in the Islamic regime’s cultural revolution it is important for Iranian students to know the answer to the following questions:
