    It’s not a bastion of freedom, but it is better than the US and UK and especially Israel at this one category that you incorrectly said it wasn’t.

    That was called a correction.

    As far as race, you people don’t tend to know anything about Iran but you lump it in with Arab and Muslim culture and assume all things true in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia or Dearborn Michigan must be in common with Iran because they’re all the same right?

    Nothing in islam is anti-lgbtq. Nothing in Arab or Persian culture is anti-lgbtq. There are some states that have rules banning it, Iran isn’t one of them.

    Hell the ‘morality police’ that you israelis call it don’t even exist across the country. Each region has its own rules and the rules aren’t universal, much less universally enforced. Women aren’t forced to cover in general, but muslim women don’t have to cover in Tehran whereas Umira they do. And that’s awful that region is like that, but pretending it’s the whole country because you’re too lazy, too stupid, too racist, or all of the above to even try to understand a country you’re bombing is ridiculous.

      Well, since you want to get into regional differences, that very much depends on which US state you live in. Many absolutely allow one to change their gender - even to an ‘X’ for non-binary. There are even anti-discrimination laws in place as well.

      As far as race, you people don’t tend to know anything about Iran but you lump it in with Arab and Muslim culture and assume all things true in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia or Dearborn Michigan must be in common with Iran because they’re all the same right?

      Did you just… “You people” me? You don’t even know what “people” I am. You’re fighting a straw-man now and trying to make it against “me” rather than the topic. I get it.

      Nothing in islam is anti-lgbtq. Nothing in Arab or Persian culture is anti-lgbtq. There are some states that have rules banning it, Iran isn’t one of them.

      Neat. It doesn’t matter. In Iran Islam says what a very select group of people say it says. Like in the Catholic church - the Bible doesn’t matter, it says whatever the Pope says it says. It’s like that in all religions and there is enough variance in all religions that anybody can say “X isn’t against that” and also “X is for that” at the same time.

      Hell the ‘morality police’ that you israelis call it

      … I’m sorry, what? Who’s the racist now?

      Hell the ‘morality police’ that you israelis call it don’t even exist across the country. Each region has its own rules and the rules aren’t universal, much less universally enforced. Women aren’t forced to cover in general, but muslim women don’t have to cover in Tehran whereas Umira they do. And that’s awful that region is like that, but pretending it’s the whole country because you’re too lazy, too stupid, too racist, or all of the above to even try to understand a country you’re bombing is ridiculous.

      So just like you’re doing with the US?

      It may not be universal - but the bar is so much lower. In the US (even the worst parts of it) no woman is called “brave” for showing her face in public or on a YouTube video.

        So again with your ignorance; no woman is called brave for showing her face in public in Iran. You’re thinking of the Burka, which IS NOT A PART OF MUSLIM OR IRANIAN CULTURE AND ISN’T IN IRAN.

        This is why I used the term ‘you people.’ It doesn’t matter what colour you are. You fell for israeli propaganda and culture war nonsense. As you people always seem to do.

          Ah - you are right - I do confuse the hijab and the burka sometimes. It’s hard to keep track of how the different middle eastern nations subjugate women.

            No part of the commandment to dress modestly targets just women, and many have lower SA rates than Detroit.

            So you just keep swinging and missing with these tired racist tropes.

              🤣

              Yeah - in places where women lack rights guess what they don’t report.

                Then we’d see rates at zero. We don’t so your theory is immediately discredited.

                It’s truly amazing how the liberal brain fails to think.
