Videos showing women burning the hijab are being posted on social media in solidarity with a protest movement against enforced headscarf in Iran.

Posted online with the hashtag #NoHijabDay, a response to last week's World Hijab Day event, the videos show women removing their headscarves and setting them on fire in front of the camera.

It comes as the Iranian government released a report showing that half of the population do not believe that the state should dictate what women wear, despite dozens of arrests this month.

Yeah and only the shizo leftoid soy-latte "feminist" west encourages wearing the Hijab and runs ads for it!

Liberals will call them racist.

You scumbags have no morals. Allah made the woman for the pleasure of the man.
Women who show their faces to strange men are whores, and must be stoned to death.

Burning hajibs? Why don't they just ship them to the SJWs in the USA?

They better be careful, all that matted, curly pubic hair goes up like sparklers, and they really would see the burning bush.

they don't toe the line on abortion, gay rights, civil right


Hmm let’s break this down.
1. Abortion: killing babies seems sick and wrong to most conservatives. You can call it a choice all you want, but it’s a choice to kill and it’s a selfish choice that we find it impossible to “celebrate” or relate to people who do.

2. Gay rights: we believe gays should have the same rights as other people, but not special rights. Gay marriage is unnatural, but consenting adults should be allowed to do what they want with each other. However expecting conservatives to treat a gay marriage the same is expecting too much. Gay adoption seems problematic, and should be closely monitored.

3. Civil rights are a conservative stronghold. It was conservative Christians in both America and GB who campaigned relentlessly to end slavery. It was conservatives who fought to end Jim Crow laws, end segregation, and it was a party line conservative vote to pass the Civil Rights Act! I’m absolutely baffled about why you’d expect conservatives or Christians to be against Civil Rights.

The first ban in slavery was British MP Wilburforce whose lifelong struggle to get an international ban of shipping slaves by sea was passed just before his death.

An Evangelical Anglo White Male Christian was the first in history, and the Royal Navy swept Slavery from the Seas. Not a Somalian Muslim.

I have a co-worker who's from Iran. He said there are always some women who are protesting wearing the hijab, but most prefer it. For the one's who like the hijab it's a familiar symbol of their culture and heritage.

Sometimes westerner's should try not being so fucking arrogant, and assuming motives for a culture we know nothing about.

I know about 100 Iranians here, as one of my close friends is from there, and we are in city/university with a large Iranian-American population. Exactly 0 Persian women out of ca. 50 I know wear hijab here in US, and ones I have talked to are against it. What they say is that "hair cover is a sign of village" and "brought to Persia by Arab invaders". Many if not most Persian women here tend to wear extremely revealing attires, where skirts are no more than slightly enlarged belts.

That's not the problem at all, the problem are those that don't want to wear it, even if it is just 20%, being severely abused (in extreme cases killed) because of their decision. If the rest wants to wear it no problem at all. The issue is the mandate.

Why would they burn their hijabs? I've been told that wearing the hijab is a choice for Western women, and choosing to wear it is a sign of independence and strength. It's strong to chose to wear a symbol of repression by choice; it doesn't matter that many women have no choice. Maybe they should wrap themselves in the Union Jack to complement their hijabs; two symbols of freedom are better than one.

The hijab is just a fashion statement as long as no one is forced to wear it.
It becomes a symbol of oppression the moment wearing it becomes a requirement.

Agreed - also I don't care if a woman wants to wear it over there - it's their country. But if you immigrate into the western world and we're nice enough to take you then take that fucking thing off when we tell you to according to our customs.

Probably why they're here in the first place. Out of a country of millions they still represent the minority, in opinion, and numbers.

I'm kind of stating the opposite, that for most Iranian's it's not a problem.
