Quote# 74095

(snipped from a larger article for brevity)

[...]Guardian Council chief Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati told worshipers during his Friday sermon that to stay silent on the issue of improper hijab, or veil, amounts to a mortal sin. He likened women whose hair peaks out from under their scarves to hardened criminals.

"Drug traffickers are hanged, terrorists are executed and robbers are punished for their crimes, but when it comes to the law of God, which is above human rights, [some individuals] stay put and speak about cultural programs," Jannati said, referring to Ahmadinejad.

"Shall we let badly-veiled women be free in the society corrupt our youth?" he added.

What? Are you crazy? If anyone sees her hair they will go on a murderous rape-filled rampage. Why won't anyone think of the children!

Oh fuck it. This is just concentrated screwball in aerosol.

Oh NO! I see a tip of a nose and an ear! Dude, I know it's easier to blame a woman and her hair for your lack of control, but yanno, it's just not working for you anymore. You are a weak man.

God doesn't exist and whatever you say his law is, it certainly is not above human rights.

Oh, and fuck you with a rake.

The learned ayatollah doesn't seem to have nearly enough to do with his time. How bored and isolated do you have to be to sit around all day and come up with shit like this?

"but when it comes to the law of God, which is above human rights"

That should pretty much sum up Islam for everyone

@whatever (#1171541)

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati thinks like this. To conclude from that fact that "there are entire countries full of people who think this way" is illogical.

@WWBFD

Unfortunately the Ayatollah is in a position of power to influence others to believe this way.

And I'm really starting to wonder if all these Muslim clerics who are so afraid of seeing a woman are all frustrated impotent limp-dicks who couldn't please a woman if they wanted to (much less themselves), or are secretly gay.

All this over hair? Really?

"Attention, duelists! My hair is exposed and corrupting the youth!"

@Doubting Thomas:

> I'd like to sit this asshole down & force him to watch old Baywatch episodes just to see his turban unravel.

Making him watch Baywatch would be a violation of his human rights. Better just to use porn films instead.

Yes we should let them. Better than brainwashing them to kill and hate

"Shall we let badly-veiled women be free in the society corrupt our youth?"

If your'e teaching your youth that women who wear headscarves improperly are more worthy of death than drug traffickers and terrorists, you're the one who's corrupting them.

...when it comes to the law of God, which is above human rights...

Reason number 10,191 why living in a democracy is better than living in a theocracy.

Once again, I appreciate the reminder that fundamentalist christians are not the only loons in the world.

Nah, I'm more concerned about children not being taught things like sharing, thinking about people other than themselves, helping others, respecting themselves, and that violence is not an acceptable solution to their problems.

I'm sure there's a huge market for "Iranian Girls gone Wild" where girls rip off their veils and show off their hair. Joe Francis could make another billion.

I wouldn't mind meeting a badly-veiled woman who corrupts old men.

"Shall we let badly-veiled women be free in the society corrupt our youth?"

If not, you are going to badly hinder my dating strategy -- asshole.

"Chief! We ran out of jail space! We have to let free either a woman whose hair showed a little or this mafia boss"

"That's an easy one. Let the mafia boss out."

Fuck you, Ayatollah. Go back to your third world shithole and leave the rest of us alone. In Christ, I am freed from the demands of the law, you ignorant asswipe. Live with it.

If you love the veils so much, why don't you wear them?
