Anyone else find this patently absurd?
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who rules over a nation where men are allowed to have four permanent wives and as many “temporary” wives as they like, declared in a recent lecture to Iranian students that Iran honors women, while the West abuses them.
The ayatollah said one indication of this is that women in Iran are forced to wear the hijab — clothing that covers much or all of a woman’s head, face and body — while women in the West are not forced to wear it.
In the West’s “sensationalism concerning women’s affairs, they blame us by saying: You have made hijab compulsory,” the ayatollah said in a January 3 lecture to a conference of Iranian students. “They themselves have made lack of hijab compulsory.”
We don’t really have to go down the road of how Islam really treats women, do we? Lashes for being raped, honor killings, stonings, you know, the whole litany of “honoring women.”
