Summary
Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmady was arrested for performing without a hijab during a virtual YouTube concert, defying Iran’s strict dress code for women.
Her performance, viewed over 1.4 million times, featured her singing in a sleeveless black dress, sparking widespread praise online for her courage.
Authorities have not disclosed her charges or location, though her lawyer and two bandmates confirmed arrests.
This comes amid ongoing resistance to Iran’s mandatory hijab law, which has faced increased criticism since the 2022 protests over Jina Mahsa Amini’s death.
How infallible you think the Quran and Bible are is almost directly connected to whether or not you believe them to be written with any sort of continuity or purpose, which kinda makes it really goddamn hard to know what someone thinks a passage represents.
The range is all the way from:
“This group of ignorant goat fuckers called theirs Allah”
To
“God spoke to them and said its name was Allah.”
Guess it depends on who’s holding the hook and doing the defending.
