An Iranian teenage girl injured weeks ago in a mysterious incident on Tehran’s Metro while not wearing a headscarf has died, state media reported Saturday.
The death of Armita Geravand comes after her being in a coma for weeks in Tehran and after the one-year anniversary of the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini which sparked nationwide protests at the time.
Geravand’s Oct. 1 injury and now her death threaten to reignite that popular anger, particularly as women in Tehran and elsewhere still defy Iran’s mandatory headscarf, or hijab, law as a sign of their discontent with Iran’s theocracy.
How old was the virgin mary?
Yes, many of us agree that Christianity is also not a model religion (if there even is such a thing). Not sure what the point is in bringing that up in a discussion about an Iranian teen being murdered for not wearing a hijab.
The point is whataboutism.
More than twice the age of Aisha, who was a fucking 6 year old and was dragged by her mother to get married with Muhammad?
At age 6? Marriage around 15-16 was a thing in pretty much in every culture. 6? What kind of sick perverted group of people thinks that the age of 6, who are literally physically impossible to get pregnant, is okay as a partner? WITH 50 YEAR OLD? At that time, 14-16 old was considered as an adult. 6? Can you imagine if some 50 year old guy would come to your six year old daughter to get married and have sex with her when she’s 9? And even to this day some religious nut jobs are quoting that crazy pervert to get away with pedophilia? No amount of mental gymnastics could ever justify raping prepubescent child.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from being Christian. Funny how you bring up virgin mary to make a point. But how come no Christians are going out and say certainly I can get married with 14 year olds since our lady was at that age when she got married while sickening amount of some Muslims do?
It’s not oh every culture married at early age back then level. She was basically not far from an infant. Islam’s greatest prophet, Muhammad, forced a 6 year old kid to get married with him and had sex with her at age 9. What a nice guy who was definitely not using made up God’s name to fuck around!
Honestly, I try to respect religious people as much as I can. But after I figured this out, I was sick to the core. Islam deserves absolutely no space in this world until this all clears up.
edit) for clarity. Aisha’s age is considered to be either 6 OR 7. not definitely 6. Still disgusting indeed.
Im just saying this is not unique to Islam. There is incest in the Bible among other things. To paint Islam as the worst of the religions does not feel productive to me. They all can eat shit
There’s only one religion where a rapists, pedophile, warlord is held up as a role model.
The Catholic Church has left the chat room.
P.S. Not religious, fuck em’ all
I don’t know of anyone glorifying what priests did to children or how the church covered it up. None of the priests that committed those acts were were held up as models of the church.
Bullshit. That things ever happened was denied, systematically, and priests were held up as models as that’s just doctrine.
The fact that the pedophile acts were concealed shows that the church didn’t condone them. They certainly didn’t make any of those priests the pillar of their religion.
Catholicism?
I must have missed the part in the bible where Jesus raped and murdered.
Jesus was a Jew, not a Catholic. I assumed you meant one pope or the other, certainly a lot of warring sex pests among those.
And antipopes!
Bunch of Islamaphobes on Lemmy I guess. I mean, I think it’s repressive generally (as most religions) and overall bad, but there are such a wide range of muslims and the fact that Muhammad was a twat has very little bearing on whether they deserve to be reviled or distrusted as humans. Just another fucked up Abrahamic religion. Nothing to see here except FUD, islamaphobia and other -isms and -phobias I’m sure.
We can criticize the religion, what some adherents do & believe, but when we paint billions with the same stroke I think we have lost our way.
Jesus is who Catholics hold up as a role model.
Pedophile priests were not celebrated in the church their acts were hidden.
