He added that physical and psychological damages “inflicted on each individual of the Iranian nation in the 2nd and 3rd imposed wars, from child killings and war crimes in Minab and Lamerd to attacks on medical centres, is each a legal file that must be pursued in both domestic and international courts.”

He further stated that from the “murder” of newborns and the elderly to the assassination of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “each is a file among thousands of major legal cases that must be earnestly pursued in domestic and international courts”.

“What is definite is that these criminals must be seized by the collar and brought to justice for their criminal deeds,” he asserted.

Never in my life could I have expected to agree with the Iranian government. But, on this specific issue? I do. There needs to be accountability for this.

    No women was beheaded for driving a car. It was the saudis who used to prohibit women from driving and beheading was not the punishement. Those beheafing non muslim is isis not Iran. Fuck off with your islamophobia.

    A woman singer Parastoo Ahmadi was just sentenced to 74 lashes for singing without hijab.

    You guys act like this is a game and I'm so tired of it. I'm a woman. A woman is going to be publicly brutalized for singing in public without religious garb. It's incredibly messed up that you guys can do whatever you want and hide behind Islamophobia.

    Do you actually think that womens' rights in Iran are upheld as they should be?

    Wasn't talking about individual Muslims. Was talking about nations that are Islamic states and follow Sharia law. They all seems to be restrictive on personal rights especially if you happen to be a woman or lgbt.

    Think of it like this...

    The Catholic Church just agreed to pay $700M for child sexual abuse.

    Are you going to attack the local Methodist minister because "Hey, they're all Christian..."?

    It doesn't work that way.

    Well sure, if the local Methodist minister had a rule book that said child sex abuse is OK. Maybe it does, considering how often it happens. I wasn't talking about individual Muslims. Was talking about nations that are Islamic states and follow Sharia law. They all seems to be restrictive on personal rights especially if you happen to be a woman or lgbt. It's a growing issue with a lot of different cultures these days but i personally think its a bit disingenuous to suggest its islamaphobic to highlight the treatment of women in Islamic states

    Fortunately they are not all the same. For example, there is no comparison between the Taliban in Afghanistan with the UAE.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates

    When it comes to complaints about Islam, notably stuff like "Honor" killings and such, that is not part of the faith or the Koran. It's a primitive tribal belief system that's a holdover from before Islam existed.

    https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Honor_Killing

    So, no, you can't paint them all with the same brush.

    And yet all islamic states seem to do horrible things to women / lgbt based on religious tenants.
    Just because some are less bad than others doesn't mean it isn't a pattern. Your own wiki link includes this near the start

    There are, however, punishments for various types of Zina (unlawful sexual relations) in Islamic law. Zina includes both fornication (when they are unmarried), for which the punishment is flogging, and adultery (when they are married, but not to each other), for which the punishment is death by stoning.

    I guess that it might be unfair to paint with the exact some brush but its a brush that looks quite similar for each of them.

    UAE does seem to be partly an exception to this however there are still things such as

    Emirati law requires women to obtain a male guardian's consent to marry. Additionally, a husband has legal rights to request his wife's obedience, and women can be deemed "disobedient" if they take outside employment without their husband's consent Etc

    It's probably more of a fundamentalist state issue than only Islamic states but it doesn't change the end result

    they behead people for not being their faith

    What are you referring to? Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians have official representation in the state.

    women not covering their entire bodies

    I haven't heard of this practice in Iran, even less of the government forcing it on women, and clearly not beheading them for it.

    They do detain, torture, and kill women who do not cover their hair completely and dress "modestly." This is well-established fact.

    Yeah it's not Afghanistan but in Iran it's subject to a lot of interpretation on the part of the police and if they want to harass you they can take you in for the tiniest slip of your head covering. It's still horrible even if not as draconian.

    To judge an entire society as "horrendous" just isn't acceptable. That is where the liberals intersect with the fascists. It's a society, people are born, grow up, live, learn, love, play, fall in love, grow, marry, make babies and raise them, grow old. 92 Million people. Their society has problems.

    Who are you to judge them as horrendous? Who are you to aid and give cause to genocidal invaders to destroy their country, their livelihoods, their progress? To bomb them back in time? They were making progress in many areas.

    It's not just Trump who is responsible, it's everyone who is pushing these overly broad talking points.

    Do you think meddling and interfering through NGOs has positive effects on their "freedoms"? Or negative effects? Just leave them alone, they can sort it out themselves.

    All of this is imperialism because there are many countries like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan who is a geopolitical allies. We all need to demand less interference in other countries from our own governments and our allies.

    Sure although the Israelis are significantly worse. Israel is actively wiping out entire ethnicities based on racist supremacy, lies, rape and murder, to steal land. Israel also threatens unrelated countries with their "samson option" nuclear doctrine. Iran doesnt even come close to that level of evil. Not even in the same league.

    The horrendous society is the US who elects rapists, and thrives on sucking other countries blood by using wars, extortion and sanctions.

    Iran is a developing country, it has its problems but at least it's not evil because fuck yeah, unlike the western countries especially the US.

    I dont think you have a clue back at you. Epstein's industrial scale pedophilia with the elite, none of our leaders representing us at all, and open sponsoring of genocide by both political parties with US taxpayer dollars are all horrifically evil.

    I guess its fair to say we should not measure ourselves by comparison-- we should measure ourselves against a standard of human dignity and some minimal baseline of human rights for all. And from there we'd have the standing to criticize others. Right now we (the US) doesnt have that so we should act with more humility until we do.

    Fine. Stop lending your voice to justifying war. It is evil, and won't accomplish what you want. If you find your message being used to justify war, stop immediately.

    To be clear, while this SHOULD be a moral argument, it isn't. This, at this point, is a pure effectiveness argument. The second your voice is being used to justify war, you will not accomplish what you hope.

    come back to me when the US start murdering all internal opposition

    What do you mean start? They already finished that, now you think democrats and republicans are opposed to each other. Fred Hampton, Kent state, MOVE, McCarthyism, Blair Mountain - the US already killed it's internal opposition, and now has the leadership that results from that.

    I don't think you understand - there aren't contemporary cases because theres no one left resisting. They killed all the actual opposition, and now Americans think protesting means holding a "no kings" party in the park and not disrupting anything or making any real demands. Social democrats are being held up as socialists because they fund enough community programs to keep capitalism limping along. The American government is more than happy to kill it's internal opposition, but that requires internal opposition to kill.

    The US isn't really numba one anymore but I agree that it's a giant problem.

    Iran doesn't publish how many people their police murder, but they have around a 1,000 'legal' executions per year. That would translate into roughly 200 times as many as the US
