Iran: Women Risk Life, Limb to Protest

I stand in awe of these Iranian women who go out to protest knowing they are going to get the shit kicked out of them. They know it and still they go.

Iran Rapes and Tortures Dissident Women

These women, these heroes, take their life in their own hands when they dissent by speaking out, by marching, by talking to other women  but they do it anyway. During a conversation I had with Phyllis Chesler,a couple of months ago, she told me of the phone calls she had gotten back in March from women in the international community and from Iran asking what Phyllis thought should they go to the annual march --  -- Phyllis said NO, they shouldn't go. And while Chesler is a  huge proponent of freeing women of the brutality of Islamic life, she advised them not to go because she feared for their lives. Of course, they went away (and were beaten

Support for the June 12th Women's protest in Tehran

If you oppose stoning [of women]!

If you oppose compulsory wearing of the hijab!

If you oppose the arrest and persecution of Women!

If you oppose the swooping of a whips on women's bodies!

If you oppose any form of patriarchy and male-dominance!

If you oppose all inequality and the medieval rule of the Islamic regime against Women!

Once again... Why aren't the liberals front and center in the war against Islamofascism? Isn't women's rights one of their big issues? Gay rights? Seperation of church and state (how would they feel about the mullahs controlling the mosques--where they'd have to go when not serving their Muslim masters, thier lives, the government...)? Can't they see that if you're not moving forward against these people, they're going to move forward against you, and, at best, they're going to be fighting in this country for women to be able to continue to abort babies, while their sisters in Iran (and other places) can't even show their ankles without getting stoned. And THEY are supposed to be the compassionate ones.

We should thank the mullahs for reminding us periodically that they are criminal despots. Too bad the UN is made up mostly of their peers.( Welcome to Ali Baba's cave.)

RE: IrishLad's question:

Why aren't "liberals" indignantly protesting the gross violations of women and gay human rights by the Islamo-psychos?

Answer: Because they are miserable, cowardly knaves. They know they might get hurt if they got somebody truly evil and dangerous mad at them.

Liberals love to protest here because they know, even though they disrespect it, that they enjoy the protection of the Rule of Law, this being a nation of Freedom under Law with Justice and Liberty for all, even for creeps.

IF their sorry butts were stuck in some actual Fascist pit like Iran, they'd be crying themselves to sleep waiting for some real men and women to come and rescue them.

Liberalism is a spent force, intellectually, spiritually, culturally, and morally. Hopefully it will disappear politically as well.

Soon.

Liberals in America are like ugly pimples on the face of an otherwise very attractive society.
