So where is NOW when they’re needed ?!

A Snarl From The Den……..

Somehow, in spite of the clampdowns and blockages instituted by the too-tightly-twisted-turban-crowd™ against the InterNet, the word is getting out about the extreme repression that is now being re-instituted to put women back into the 7th century in Iran, piece by piece. Do we hear peep one from the womynne who burned their bras, draped their half-naked bodies around in public places, and generally raised a stink about women being oppressed; apparently the women in Iran don’t count.

From ActivistChat comes the latest, translated from a Farsi post on a Persian blog:

Rooydad News, reporting on Thursday July 15th wrote that the arrested girls are kept for 24 hours after their files are completed without any contact with their families. Before this, some web sites were reporting from Mashhad that girls wearing short pants were being flogged. [ed. note: short pants means with the ankles showing]

Another good reason the mullahs and ayatollahs needed to be tossed on the garbage heap of history as a sick and bad episode.

    Those mullahs are the ones that need flogging!

    As if giving the last(contentious) Peace prize to that (islam-pandering)Erin, the Euabians have made any difference.

    Correction, it’s “Shirin” and the Eurabian Oslostan.;)
    Compare with the Sikhs who wear their turban in good style, those on the mullahs and ayatollahs do resemble rags.

    Don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions.
