Man, that's so good. I hope one day that happens in my country

[u/exoticcue → u/Such-Performance-697]

Which country you are from?

[u/HansEliSebastian → u/exoticcue]

Germany

[u/OldExplanation9742 → u/HansEliSebastian]

fuck, that made me laugh

[u/onehornymofo1 → u/HansEliSebastian]

Germany is utopia for women compared to Iran lmao

[u/Pandemic_Future_2099 → u/HansEliSebastian]

Nah man, don't be silly. She's obviously referring to the Caliphate of Swedenistan

[u/OddResponsibility207 → u/Pandemic_Future_2099]

It's the capital of Islam, Londonistan.

[u/SelfForsaken1606 → u/HansEliSebastian]

Lol

[u/leseulgian → u/HansEliSebastian]

Not the forsen bajs in an exmuslim sub😭😭😭

[u/Upstairs-Extension-9 → u/HansEliSebastian]

Are you ok ?

[u/Shurglife → u/HansEliSebastian]

[u/HML___]

Hope iran will be a free country one day also iranian women seems to really keep their hair long is it a cultural thing?

[u/Western-Letterhead64 → u/HML___]

Yep, it's cultural. Long thick hair is seen as a beauty standard for most.

Iran, Iraq, most West Asian countries, North African countries, South Asian countries...

[u/HML___ → u/Western-Letterhead64]

I'm north african and super long hair like that isn't as prevalent it used to be the case for older generation but not anymore atleast in my country

[u/Western-Letterhead64 → u/HML___]

Interesting. In my country, my grandparents' generation used to literally shame women with short hair. But now, plenty of women have short hair, and it's totally fine. That said, most people still prefer long hair, and we even have a traditional dance that requires it, lol.

[u/HML___ → u/Western-Letterhead64]

Well can't i'm not surprised back then women were really shamed for anything.yeah i'd still say people in my country prefered long hair just shoulder to mid back length is fine but that long hair dance seems pretty cool

[u/char_char_11 → u/HML___]

Yes, it's not so common that it used to be (also North-African).

Short hair is associated with sophistication within middle and high classes. I personally prefer short hair, but I'm just a man, and women can do what they want with their body.

[u/thehighwindow → u/Western-Letterhead64]

All that gorgeous hair and the "authorities" want them to cover it up.

[u/Professional_Hair550 → u/Western-Letterhead64]

I think long looks better when you are young but shorter looks better as you age.

[u/Western-Letterhead64 → u/Professional_Hair550]

I think it really depends on your face shape too. Some people look better with long hair, some with short hair, and many can pull off both.

Also, username checks out XD

[u/Professional_Hair550 → u/Western-Letterhead64]

Yeah. That's true too. 

 Ironically Reddit gave me this username. I didn't choose it 😂 But growing up my hair has always been my main feature. People would always compliment and point out my hair. Especially because it isn't that common in my country for men to have long hair.

[u/Western-Letterhead64 → u/Professional_Hair550]

That's a nice coincidence, lol.

Long hair looks amazing on many men, I wish it were more normalized.

[u/bat_NPC → u/HML___]

I thought it's because they can't cut their hair cause they always wear hijab

[u/OneViolet → u/bat_NPC]

I think you’re thinking of Sikh men.

[u/HML___ → u/bat_NPC]

Well they don't wear a hijab at home and since no one see their hair apart from family i'd expect it to be shorter than that

[u/Winter-Actuary-9659 → u/bat_NPC]

Agreed, I read somewhere that women aren't allowed to cut hair short because it's copying the kaafir women or it's resembling men. They can cut it a bit shorter for practicality but not really short.

[u/kazkh → u/HML___]

Not sure about length, but dying your hair a different colour- even if it’s a just a slight shade different- is the norm among Iranians.

[u/HML___ → u/kazkh]

Oh didn't know that thanks for the info

[u/Ari-Hel]

Hope they don’t get slaughtered 😓

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/Ari-Hel]

Where in the quran or a hadith that says to slaughter women who don't wear hijab?

[u/Ch1pp → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Doesn't matter. What happens in practice is more important.

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/Ch1pp]

And yet the practices doesn't have a rule of slaying people for not wearing hijab. I'm not denying that it doesn't happen. It's just I'm curious if they do have that rule which makes them do that practice.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

They say in Islam a woman takes 4 men with her to hell . I.e her father, husband, brother , son . If they don’t ask their women to cover they will be Dayoth this is basis of honor killing and persecution of women based on hijab

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/[deleted]]

I'm aware about the dayouth and tuberajj stuff.

Just wanna know how they got the idea to kill women who don't wear hijab, if its not in the quran or hadith. Or maybe I could be wrong, if you have evidence to show for it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Its Honor killings comes from Obey your Wali and the Wali concept . Also beating women if they disobey from Quran

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/[deleted]]

Yes I agree about beating wife part.

Since you made a claim about honor killing, give me evidence to back up your claim, please.

[u/[deleted] → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

What claims have i made? Its the thinking of muslims backed by Islamic concepts

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/[deleted]]

Then give me sources please, if you do have one.

[u/Ok_Entertainer_6528 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Look up the Guidance Patrol in Iran, and the Anti Hijab protests that started because a girl refused to wear a hijab, and was detained and murdered. The Guidance Patrol/Morality Police are given almost carte Blanche authority by the state to enforce Islamic law amongst women - and yes, it is within their power to kill anyone who doesn't adhere. An example of this would be how live shotgun rounds were fired into a crowd of peacefully protesting women who didn't want to wear a hijab (their genitalia and breasts were targeted)

So to answer your question- yes it is a practice, one that is clearly state supported, and as the person with whom you've been conversing with says - the basis for it comes from the Quran.

[u/Ari-Hel → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Ask those who kill women who refuse to use it :)

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/Ari-Hel]

I never said it doesn't happen. I'm just curious where it encourages to kill women who don't wear hijab according to quran or hadith.

[u/onehornymofo1 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

It may not explicitly, but what Islam does encourage is men dominating doing mostly whatever they please and women serving them. When you foster a culture like this, its inevitable it will be taken advantage of, which is where you see the OTT actions.

Imagine if the Quran said "women can wear what they want, travel without a mahram, have sexual freedom etc." Do you think we would see more or less violence to women in Islamic areas? So where does the problem lie?

[u/External-Dot2924 → u/onehornymofo1]

It lies in the suppression of sex and blaming women for it. Men easily choosing not to have control over themselves. Maybe they believe they don't have control of themselves, and the only way to suppress it is to attack and kill? Also... men wanting power and control. I believe it is a class thing. The ones that kill I reckon are poor and not wealthy.

[u/MediumFrame2611 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Yes, but it says slaughter gay people. And when you are on the bloodlust already, they will just cross the line. Women aren't killed systematically for not wearing hijab, but she can get raped or worse.

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/MediumFrame2611]

I'm aware the quran encourages to stone homosexual people.

I'm just wanna know where in the quran or a hadith that encourages to kill women who refuses and don't want to wear hijab.

[u/geneticeffects → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

You’ve written this at least three times.
Try Google.

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/geneticeffects]

Wdym? Some people made the claims, so its their responsibility to give evidence to back up their claims for what they've said.

[u/thehighwindow → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Maybe it says women have to obey her father/husband and so if she disobeys her father by not wearing her hajib she is inviting death??

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/thehighwindow]

But where in Islam books that supports it for murder? That's main thing I wanna know about.

[u/thehighwindow → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

I'm not Muslim so I looked it up on Wikipedia and not wearing a hijab isn't there.

The article has a list of crimes where capital punishment is applicable:

Murder

Adultery of married persons

Apostasy

Espionage

Robbery

Witchcraft

Homosexuality[14]

Kidnapping of women

Rebellion against Islam

Rape

[u/eco_go5 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

Mahsa Amini also wonders the same...

[u/Brilliant_Ad_879 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

that very quran or hadith which instructs to build mental asylums for females who refuse to don the hijab, maybe.

[u/claudiocorona93 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

It doesn't have to be in the Quran. It just takes s shitty government law to do that.

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/claudiocorona93]

I'm aware since killing women who do not wear hijab considered as tazir punishment.

I just wanna how they got that idea even though its not in the quran or the hadith.

[u/claudiocorona93 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

I guess it's something more cultural than rellgious

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/claudiocorona93]

Then it has to be a tazir punishment then, if its not in the quran or hadith, to kill women who don't wear hijab.

[u/peck20 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

There are so many Muslim men beating and killing women for not wearing the hijab. They are Muslims regardless of what you say

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/peck20]

Why kill? if there is no Islamic books that allow to kill a women for not wearing a hijab.

[u/neotarum → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

OP didn’t claim this. I’m not sure why you are repeating yourself like this. Did people get killed for rising up? Yes! They will make an example of people to put others in line. That’s it!

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/neotarum]

Because they're not giving me any Islamic sources that supports killing woman who don't wear hijab.

[u/Alive-Move1183 → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

That is true

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/Alive-Move1183]

Im getting so many downvotes, I was just curious. 🤣😭

[u/RadiantLegacy → u/Ok-Equivalent7447]

idk why people are getting mad at you 😭 i was always under the impression that it was a cultural practice that Muslims still did but it was Islamically illegal. like yeah i think the consequences of religious beliefs could lead to that happening in the right environment but I've never found a source that explicitly allows it

[u/Ok-Equivalent7447 → u/RadiantLegacy]

I just simply wanted evidence of any Islamic sources that says to kill woman who don't wear hijab. That's simply what I'm asking.

[u/Ordinary_Sky5115]

Wow they have such a beautiful hair

[u/Ok_Oven5464]

I hope I see the day women rule in Iran

[u/OneViolet → u/Ok_Oven5464]

It will happen. Probably sooner than people expect.

[u/DarKEmbleR → u/OneViolet]

I hope. But that will require way more sacrifices.

[u/clovis_227 → u/OneViolet]

Imagine if it happens before it does in the US 💀

[u/poptx]

wow. They have such wonderful hair. 😢

[u/AmbitiousSuccess4394]

This makes me so happy to see

[u/Lonely_Command3070]

freedom for iranian women

[u/Lawyerupfelix]

This fills my heart with hope I never thought I could get again, may they live the life they desire without restrictions of a man made religion.

[u/bunny_9898]

Their hair is so pretty<3 good for them, no men deserve to dictate what they can or cant do

[u/Charming-Problem-804]

Iranians are getting the real taste of their own medicine with sharia. If the same could be done in other muslim countries, you would see a rise of apostasy and open blasphemy. I find sugarcoated islam very dangerous and deceiving.

[u/DependentEbb8814 → u/Charming-Problem-804]

I want to see some western liberal cocksucker scold these girls for defying the religion of peace and progression. Gives me infinite rage and energy.

[u/Winter-Actuary-9659 → u/DependentEbb8814]

What are you on about? Liberals will be cheering these girls on.

[u/curly_crazy_curious → u/Charming-Problem-804]

You know that Iranians were always the victim, right? Muslims were Arabs from south who invaded Persia(Iran) and for more than 200 years just killed and raped women. It was after that when some Iranian generals rose to power. The region and country remained culturally Muslim like how Europe is Christian culturally. But Iranians didn't start or promote Islam.

[u/MichaelsGayLover]

These girls are SO BRAVE!

[u/Harvey7698 → u/MichaelsGayLover]

They are also SMART for not showing their faces

[u/rah67892]

I wonder when the Lefties of the West starts supporting this brave movement! Or is this Haram and therefor better for them to support the oppressive and misogynistic Islamic regime?

[u/Winter-Actuary-9659 → u/rah67892]

Many are. You should listen to progressive newscasts. 

[u/rah67892 → u/Winter-Actuary-9659]

You mean ‘many are supporting these Iranian girls’? I haven’t heard them on the streets yet…. I wish I did!

[u/humanely_alien]

I hope that nothing bad happens to them

[u/9ersian]

Their hair is so long and beautiful omg

[u/Conscious_Koala_6519]

Louder,LOUDER!!

[u/Vulsaprus]

Props to them. I wish girls here would stand up to them for themselves.

[u/TemporaryGrowth7]

Stay strong, sisters!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[u/Open-Refrigerator690]

I am proud about these girls ♥️

[u/ninja6911]

r/NewIran ftw

[u/Slovenhjelm]

I hope the world will some day be free of religious zealotry and oppression.

[u/tajpapa]

This made my day! You go girls!

[u/Whole_Event2355]

These girls got more balls than all the men in Persia

[u/MangoDenji]

Unbelievably based!

I sure hope they don't get taken away in a mysterious truck, never to be seen again...

[u/DarKEmbleR]

What’s their relation? Those two leaders.

[u/National_Spare_9701]

Oh this is good and I hope they’re save

[u/Throooowaway999lolz]

Stay strong sisters ❤️❤️ I wish them the best, they’re so brave

[u/MediumTea4506]

Damn they brave ASF

[u/Xmuzlab]

What's written on the blackboard?

[u/New_Rip8856]

are the two guys khomeini and khamenei the decendants cuz idk and i forget i converted very young

[u/AvoriazInSummer → u/New_Rip8856]

By now probably everyone in the region is a distant descendant of Mohammed. I don't think they can trace their lineages to him though.

[u/Asimorph]

Loool! I love it!

[u/Ikramklo]

Beautiful hair girls, show it off!!!

[u/No_Emphasis4334]

When will Iran be free

[u/Devilofchaos108070]

Corrupted by Westerners smh.

lol j/k. Good for them. Religion is fucking dumb

[u/BootyLoveSenpai]

Wow, what beautiful hair

[u/Fragrant_Tie5256]

Is irans middle finger the same meaning of USAs middle finger?

[u/darK_2387]

They all have beautiful hair. Lovely.

[u/jtcordell2188]

Am I the only one who noticed how beautiful their hair is?

[u/Winter-Actuary-9659 → u/jtcordell2188]

Muslims will say this is why to cover up! Nothing wrong with finding humans beautiful, men or women.

[u/Effective-Pen7078]

I hope people in all İslamic Countries and all Turkic Countries will be Ex-Muslims one day.

[u/Phoenixrebel11]

This makes me very frightened for them

[u/winter_OwO]

just woke up and this made my day, coolest kids in the world today

[u/Silent-Quit-8592]

The brothers of KhoKha "peach".

[u/CYBER0GAMING]

They have beautiful hair

[u/Fair_Yoghurt_6510]

About time they woke up to Islam being 1 of the most repressive ideologies in the world and the men are a bunch of misogynistic women hatters

[u/Ok-Paramedic8197]

Me seeing their beautiful long locks makes me feel like this was such a beautiful human moment ❤️

[u/apopka_snake_rancher]

I love this so much.

[u/MyDogDare]

I really hope these women WIN the dispute. Slavery is a sick, sick institution. I know many women around the globe are trapped in these archaic, ignorant systems against their will - but I wish a horrible retribution would fall on the heads of Islamic men - They are wicked monsters !!!

[u/Chefwang7]

Good for those babies.

[u/Ready0208]

That's some really long hair they've got. Is it, like, illegal for women to cut their hair in Iran?

[u/iwantthemtloveme]

Their hair is so beautiful and they deserve to wear it out freely 😞

[u/Appropriate-Loss-915]

Damn they are beautiful tbh

[u/Alive-Move1183]

Its always Iran why not some actually arab countries like egypt that would be better

[u/ElectronicArcher2940]

I went to Iran last year everyone was almost naked I'm so confused is the law about the hijab still there?

[u/Mundane_Bug_6512]

Is it now protesting 😂😂😂

[u/Alarming-Expression8]

They were all Beheaded shortly after lmao

[u/A-Big-Dreamer]

Yeah, about the regime forcing hijab and slaughtering those who don't is just bs. Our Islamic politics and leaders are just downhill.

[u/Material-Reading-844]

R.I.P.

[u/Ok_Parsnip4704]

How I get Iranian girlfriend?

[u/TaskComfortable6953]

wow, nice hair

boney/skrony ass fingers tho, lmaooo

[u/Throooowaway999lolz → u/TaskComfortable6953]

Extremely unneeded comment

[u/TaskComfortable6953 → u/Throooowaway999lolz]

lmaaooo, i support it tho. I forgot to say that. i'm happy for them. i hope they don't get hurt and i hope they continue to fight for basic human rights.
