| Iranian Women Protest Against Oppression of Iraqi Women |
| 2004-06-03 |
| From IranMania Hundreds of chador-clad women held a brief rally Tuesday in front of the British embassy in Tehran, the latest protest sparked by US-led coalition’s military action in Iraq’s holy Shiite Muslim cities in Iraq. During the largely calm demonstration by up to 800 Islamist women, there was only minor stone-throwing at the embassy walls coupled with the shouting of slogans. .... At the end of the one-hour rally, the demonstrators read out a declaration on behalf of Iranian women to express sympathy and support to Iraqi women, in which they called for "a stop to human rights violations, the deflowering of women’s honor and the killing of children". Police kept a close eye of the protest, but in lesser numbers than during last month’s rallies. The street outside the embassy was only blocked for 10 minutes. ... |

| #4 The Iranians are being lied to in a big way by the mullahs. God knows what they're being told about their lady neighbors next door by what they call the media there! One of the latest outrages from Iran is that woman judge (can't remember her name) who was put up for a Nobel prize who's the consummate sock puppet of the mullahs: she wants women to remain oppressed and subjugated and under the veil. These 800 women are, no doubt, her fan club. Among the many benefits of the WOT, the biggest has been and will be the liberation and empowerment of MILLIONS of women in the Arab world! Ladies Akbar! |

| #3 These are women who identify with the agressor (Islam). They should look in their own backyards if they want to stop human rights violations, the deflowering of women's honor and the killing of children. |
