keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 21, 2022 So it doesn't matter whether you are Shiite or Sunni, you still treat women worse than caged animals. Hasn't it occurred to anyone that most of the God's in this world treat their subjects with great malevolence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thus, they accept that everything that happens in the world does so according to the will of God. Not a very nice chap is he! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically speaking Muslims share the same God as Christians and Jews, so if it is demanded of Iranian women to cover their hair but not of the women of this country, it looks like the source of this malevolence is Man and not God? Let's place the blame where it really belongs otherwise those lads get a free ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm talking about the Immams and religious police, so while I wouldn't personally want to live their way of life I bet they think they have it pretty cushy. They are the one's responsible for this situation, not God. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,937 Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Wonder how much of this comes back to when the UK had one of its foreign policy brainfarts and ousted a democratically elected leader in Mosaddegh? Edited September 23, 2022 by TheGunnShow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
