A mother of two has been left paraplegic after being shot by Iranian police over an alleged violation of the country’s strict hijab rules, a source with knowledge of the case has told the BBC.
“She is paralysed from the waist down, and doctors have said it will take months to determine whether she will be permanently paraplegic or not.”
Arezoo Badri, 31, was driving home with her sister in the northern city of Noor on 22 July when police attempted to pull her over to confiscate her car.
The driver did not comply with the order to stop, prompting the officers to shoot, the police commander in Noor told Iran’s state-run news agency, without naming Ms Badri.
The incident comes after Iranian police announced a clampdown on women defying the nation’s compulsory dress code.
The Islamic prophet Muhammad married a 9-year-old girl. Since he was holy, or whatever, he waited until she was 10 to fuck her.
Close, but incorrect.
The prophet Muhammad married his wife Aisha when she was 6 years old.
He started raping her when she was 9. They call it “consummation”.
hey lets not get specifically islamophobic. every single horrible thing the worst muslims are trying to do over there, the worst christians are doing over here. every. single. fucking. one.
and the worst muslims aren’t even jacking it to the apocalypse.

slew of downvotes

Part of the problem is the desire to single out the worst single instances of a given group and use them as emblematic of a whole. I honestly wonder how many folks on this board actually know a person of Muslim faith. And I have got to wonder what kind of weird, gross, vulgar shit they say in casual conversation.
Imagine sitting across from someone at the office with a big “You’re a blood-drenched terrorist by association and I hope the police drag you off to a black site to be tortured and killed” banner over their cubicle. Showing up every day and having people whispering that you’re a pedophile and a genocidal lunatic, because they’ve been passing around “Top 10 things to know about the butcher prophet Muhammad”. Then flipping on the news and hearing about how a city in your native country was bombed to rubble or a notable politician from your country was assassinated in cold blood, while folks on the news laugh about it and say “They must have had it coming because they’re Muslims”.
Absolutely fucking barbaric way to behave towards anyone, and yet this is how white westerners seem to treat their Muslim neighbors by reflex.
yep! the thing is, it isn’t about hostility to religion in general, which, like, I could get, those ‘islamic state’ fuckers (and their christian counterparts currently red teaming the united states political system, who are worse and want to end the world and have been infiltrating the military that has nuclear weapons for decades) ARE (at least broadly) blood drenched vicious monsters who should all be killed. no need to be a dick about it, shouldn’t treat the moderates the same way as the fanatics, but, like, everything bad about islam, except possibly the ‘no drinking’ thing, the worst christians ALSO DO.
like, every single bad thing they SAY about muslims also applies to these other people who maybe even live nextdoor. literally all of it (I’ve never heard about ‘those damn teatotaling muslins, be’in all diaphanous and sober and pulling out a compass before they pray’), so clearly that’s not what their actual fucking problem with it is. its not even that its barbaric behavior; it’s that its fucking dishonest barbaric behavior.
no but that’s the thing, I see a lot on the internet “religion bad!” (true) turning into “muslims bad!” and letting at-least-as-bad offenders off the hook. that’s the part that bugs me.
the christians are doing THIS EXACT SAME SHIT in american cities. I walked past the aftermath of some shit like this happening multiple times in my life. it doesn’t even make the news most of the time.
so yes, they’re monsters, stop them. but lets not SINGLE THEM OUT and let the OTHER, POTENTIALLY WORSE monsters off the hook.
edit: also, islamophobia in the anglosphere is rarely used to reduce the outrageous horrors of religion, and always used to fuck up marginalized people, so I’m always skeptical of it being a genuine criticism of religion.
