Ahmadinejad: Women Are The Most Oppressed Social Class
From Today’s New York Times: “Last week, the government shut down Iran’s most important feminist magazine, which had been published for 16 years.
In the middle of a snowy, icy winter, women have been arrested for not wearing proper Islamic clothing. Hats over head scarves, boots over pants, can bring trouble.”
Today from Iran’s official news agency, IRNA:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Saturday that women are the most oppressed social class.
Ahmadinejad told the First International Congress in Commemoration of Women Martyrs that throughout history women have been subject to injustice and crimes.
“Throughout history women have been subject to different forms of injustice and what we are witnessing today is a new form of the injustices,” he added.
He said women having features as kindness, devolution and patience are symbols of transfer of all virtues and kindness from one generation to another.
Prior to the president’s speech, Vice-President and Head of the Martyrs and War Disabled Foundation told the ceremony that his Foundation has embarked on collecting biographies of women martyrs.
Dehqan said works and biographies of 5,000 women martyrs have thus far been collected.
A large number of non-Iranian women along with their children were present at the meeting, where President awarded 22 bereaved families of women martyrs, including two from Iran and two from Lebanon and Iraq.

What a hypocritical piece of shit. The slimeball is OK with beating women, forcing them to wear the jijab, hanging or stoning innocent women and generally enslaving them.
The one-eyed king of the munchkins is no better than his evil master Muhammed. In the end, he’ll get his comupance in hell.
Freedom for women is a Judeo-Christian idea. It is a western concept anathema to Sharia law and the Koranic Koloring Book of lies.
After the JADAMs fall or the nuke explodes over Tehran, then Iranian women will have a chance at freedom, but not so long as this 7th century punk is in power…or his puppetmaster Ayatollah assa-hollas.
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pmPet peeve of mine…Muhammed is not evil. His original message was good. It’s the fuck ups and power hungry assholes who skew his words that are evil.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:48 pmOkay - Well I am not an expert on Mohammed, but I thought he had sex with children . . . is that just a rumor? Or is that not evil, Joe?
February 2nd, 2008 at 10:10 pmJoe, Original Message???It was 500 years before his supposed “message” was put to paper. How much originality could there have been after that many generations?
February 2nd, 2008 at 10:32 pmAchhead is just playing to the liberal press.
Mohamed made up the religion after visiting relatives in Jerusalem that were Jews and Christians when he returned home he blended those two with his own moon worshiping cult and Wallah - - - Allah is a made up god. (short version)
The power of Islam comes in the fact that only Imams can interpret the scriptures and guess what happens if you disagree?
Hey Dan how’d I do?
