Iran Sentences Men to Jail for Supporting Women's Rights

On January 22, 2019, the Iranian regime sentenced Farhad Meysami and Reza Khandan to six years in prison.  In addition, the regime banned them from contributing to media and using social media for the next two years.  The regime convicted the two men of "assembly" and "collusion" against national security and for "propaganda against the ruling establishment."  What was their real crime?  Fighting for women's rights in Iran.  Under Iranian Sharia Law, women have few rights, if any.  
Women activists like Ayanz Anni Cyrus, who was forced into an abusive marriage against her will, raped, and beaten, knows this all too well.  When Anni Cyrus went to the authorities for help, she was turned away and told that her husband was permitted under Sharia to do this.  Iranian Law gives men total authority over women.  Women have no say in anything.  They're not even permitted to dress how they like.  This is what sparked the protests in Iran last December when women took to the streets and social media, and publicly removed their Hijab, which they are required by law to wear.  

Thankfully, not all Iranian men support the repressive laws against women, and a number are fighting the regime over this.  Unfortunately, the regime is cracking down on dissenters, with Mr. Meysami & Mr. Khandan becoming the latest victims.  Now, does the Women's March Feminists protest is support of these men?  No, have not yet done so.  Instead, they are astoundingly rallying around women like Linda Sarsour, who openly advocate bringing Sharia Law into this country, the very kind of law that is repressing women in Iran and getting their supporters locked up!  The Women's March has completely lost their sense of direction.  Their organizers have become so blinded by political correctness and left-wing propaganda that they are complete ignorant to the fact that they are becoming compliant to the repression of women all over the world.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
