‘Women, Life, Freedom’
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
For the past month-and-a-half, the media horns of the Zionist-controlled West, including mercenaries tasked with the feverish and foundering Farsi propaganda broadcasts to try to turn people in Iran into traitors ready to hand over the country to the US, have coined a weird phrase of what they view as the situation in the Islamic Republic.
These broadcasts as well as the placards carried on weekends in New York, London, Paris, and Berlin by a few dozen hirelings whose dress and appearance reveal that they have neither faith in Islam nor commitment to Iranian culture, claim that ‘women, ‘life’, and ‘freedom’ are sorely absent in the Islamic Republic.
Laughable indeed, say the people in Iran, especially the millions of patriotic women who over the past forty-three years have had a lively presence in all spheres of the society including modern science and technology. Clad in the freedom of the Hijab they compete with men in a healthy atmosphere for both the material and spiritual progress of the country and its growing influence abroad.
They freely shop in the bazaars, travel with full liberty around the country – even without being accompanied by male members of the family – enjoy the bounties of nature in parks and resorts, visit exhibitions and places of sound and healthy entertainment, and in huge numbers throng the holy shrines that dot the length and breadth of Iran to reaffirm their faith in Islam and a virtuous life.
So what type of ‘women’, what kind of a ‘life’, and which form of ‘freedom’ is absent in the Islamic Republic?
The answers are obvious. The West is hostile to not just Islam, but to all spiritual values that grant honour, dignity, chastity, and liberty in its real sense to women.
The Americans, the Europeans, and the Zionists, who have neither faith in God nor respect for humanitarian values, regard women as a mere object of carnal desires and a commercial commodity as long as their youthful looks last.
In other words, in the jargon of the West and its deceived minions in the so-called Third World ‘women’ means promiscuity, complete with striptease clubs and nude beaches; ‘life’ means alcoholism, drugs, and gambling; while ‘freedom’ means sodomy and lesbianism.
No virtuous woman, whether in Iran or any Muslim society, condones such satanic practices, which even animals abstain from.
Likewise, no sane Iranian man will ever degrade the dignity of the feminine members of the family, of the society, and of the country, by pushing his daughter, sister, mother, and wife into the carnal and commercial world.
This is the reason for the failure of the latest western propaganda to mislead Iranians, who over the past month-and-a-half have been staging multimillion-strong rallies throughout the country in support of their faith in Islam, their commitment to the Islamic Republic system of government, and their loyalty to the pious and patriotic leadership.
This has further enraged the US which had ordered thugs, traitors, and terrorists to disturb the peace of the Islamic Republic in a bid to project to the world the image of an Iran in flames and a counter-revolution in the offing, but except for scattered incidents of riots by anti-social elements accompanied by a handful of characterless women in a few localities of Tehran, and parts of some other cities, the plot miserably failed.
Thanks to the vigilance of the police personnel who with the backing of the masses bore the brunt of the attacks and offered several martyrs in order to safeguard public security, the vandals, the murderers, the arsonists, and the blasphemers have been fully exposed, identified, and mostly apprehended.
The defeated West is learning the hard way that the Islamic Revolution was and is a grassroots movement of the Iranian people, and was not brought about by outsiders to be replaced by any foreign-engineered ‘colour’ coup through infiltration of terrorists and smuggling of arms and explosives.
It is the Islamic Republic which has presented to the world the correct concept of “Women, Life, and Freedom” and definitely not the West which has failed to fool the people of Iran through its intense barrage of fake news.
