Iran confirmed on Monday that it had arrested Italian journalist Cecilia Sala for "violating the law", state media reported, a move that has been decried by Italy as "unacceptable". 

"Cecilia Sala, an Italian citizen, travelled to Iran on December 13, 2024 with a journalist's visa and was arrested on December 19, 2024 for violating the law of the Islamic Republic of Iran," the official IRNA news agency said, citing a statement by the culture ministry without elaborating.

"Her case is currently under investigation," added the ministry, which oversees and accredits foreign journalists in Iran. 

Sala last posted on X on December 17 with a link to a podcast entitled "A conversation on patriarchy in Tehran".

Chora Media, an Italian podcast publisher for which Sala worked, said she had travelled from Rome to Iran on a journalist visa, and was due to return on December 20.

On Friday, Italy denounced Sala's arrest as "unacceptable", and said she has been held in Tehran's Evin prison. Italy's ambassador to Tehran, Paola Amadei, has visited her. 

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Saturday that efforts to free Sala were "complicated". 

Iran's culture ministry confirmed Monday that Sala had been allowed consular assistance and that she "has been in contact with her family by phone".

Taliban tells all NGOs employing women in Afghanistan to fire them

In a letter published on X Sunday night, the Economy Ministry warned that failure to comply with the latest order would lead to NGOs losing their license to operate in Afghanistan.

The ministry said it was responsible for the registration, coordination, leadership and supervision of all activities carried out by national and foreign organizations.

The government was once again ordering the stoppage of all female work in institutions not controlled by the Taliban, according to the letter.

“In case of lack of cooperation, all activities of that institution will be canceled and the activity license of that institution, granted by the ministry, will also be canceled.”

It’s the Taliban’s latest attempt to control or intervene in NGO activity.

Earlier this month, the U.N. Security Council heard that an increasing proportion of female Afghan humanitarian workers were prevented from doing their work even though relief work remains essential.

According to Tom Fletcher, a senior U.N. official, the proportion of humanitarian organizations reporting that their female or male staff were stopped by the Taliban’s morality police has also increased.

The Taliban deny they are stopping aid agencies from carrying out their work or interfering with their activities.

They have already barred women from many jobs and most public spaces, and also excluded them from education beyond sixth grade.

In another development, the Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada has ordered that buildings should not have windows looking into places where a woman might sit or stand.

According to a four-clause decree posted on X late Saturday, the order applies to new buildings as well as existing ones.

Windows should not overlook or look into areas like yards or kitchens. Where a window looks into such a space then the person responsible for that property must find a way to obscure this view to “remove harm,” by installing a wall, fence or screen.

Municipalities and other authorities must supervise the construction of new buildings to avoid installing windows that look into or over residential properties, the decree added.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing was not immediately available for comment on Akhundzada’s instructions.

Islam Hates Women > Taliban cuts women’s wages up to 75% in Afghanistan

 

JUN 19, 2024 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

The Taliban is a brutal jihad group that follows the letter of the Hadiths and Qur’an. See HERE. No amount of effort to try to normalize the Taliban will change its doctrines, and so-called humanitarian aid to Afghanistan will only flow into its coffers and strengthen it against its own people. The Taliban’s latest move to drastically slash the wages of women should be expected. Following the world’s complaining about it, especially at the pointless UN Human Rights Commission, nothing beyond lip service will be done even to attempt to change the treatment of women in Afghanistan.

‘Systematic Discrimination’: Taliban’s Drastic Cut In Salaries

Of Female State Employees Triggers Anger

Radio Free Europe, June 18, 2024:

Shugufta, an elementary school teacher, earned around $300 per month under the previous Western-backed Afghan government.

But after the Taliban seized power in 2021, the extremist group cut the salaries of female government employees by half.

Despite her lower income, Shugufta was relieved to work as the country grappled with an economic meltdown after the Taliban takeover.

The hard-line Islamist group has barred thousands of women employed by the previous government from returning to their jobs. Only women whose jobs cannot be done by men according to the militants’ strict interpretation of Shari’a law — including doctors, nurses, and teachers — have been permitted to work.

But in a major blow, the Taliban-led government last week issued a decree that set the monthly salaries of all female government employees at 5,000 afghanis, or around $70, regardless of their job, qualifications, or experience……

…..Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said the “discriminatory and profoundly arbitrary decision further deepens the erosion of human rights in Afghanistan.”

In a June 13 statement, he called on the Taliban to “rescind all laws, instructions, edicts, and other measures that discriminate against women and girls.”…

Yeah! Good luck with that! This is the manifestation of how valuable devout Muslims consider women to be. 

Antisemitism on Campus > What stupid Western University students are fighting for

 

When reading this article, keep in mind that Khamenei's interest in Palestinians is not sympathetic, it has to do with Iran's hegemony ambitions in the Middle East. They have significant influence in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen. The first three border on Israel. The last several presidents of Iran have promised to destroy Israel.

Iran: Muslim cleric links US pro-Hamas campus

protests to Khamenei and the Islamic regime 

MAY 14, 2024 9:00 AM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

Whether or not Khamenei’s letters had anything to do with the American campus protests cannot be proven or disproven. But Iran is unquestionably a significant player. What is known is that Iran is a chief funder of Hamas, and that Iran is watching America closely as America stumbles over the pro-Hamas thugs who are holding campuses hostage.

One mistake is captured in this statement:

The Iranian regime’s focus on these events contrasts sharply with its treatment of domestic dissent, where student activists face harsh penalties for similar activities.

The pro-Hamas agitators are not merely protesters; and they certainly are not dissenters fighting for freedom, as are Iranian dissidents. They are a threatening menace, backing a savage, terrorist entity that seeks the annihilation of the Jewish state.

Khamenei himself has seized on the protests as a victory for the pro-Hamas sentiment among Western students, interpreting their actions as a global sensitivity to the Palestinian cause.

For Iran, they do represent a “victory.” Many Western useful idiots who join them have no clue what the Palestinian “resistance” is really about.

How America and the West reacts in the coming weeks and months will determine Iran’s next step.

Islamic Cleric in Iran Links US Campus Protests to Khamenei’s Letters

Iran International, May 10, 2024:

An Islamic cleric in Iran is claiming that letters penned by Iran’s Supreme Leader are the driving force behind pro-Palestinian student protests in American universities.

Ahmad Alamolhoda, is a close associate of Khamenei’s and father-in-law to the country’s current President Ebrahim Raisi.

The cleric claims that the protests on American university campuses today are a result of Khamenei’s letters to Western youth in 2014 and 2015.

Alamolhoda, who is known for his violent rhetoric, once said that the British Ambassador to Iran should be “chopped into pieces”.

The protests on US campuses have garnered significant attention inside Iran and are often portrayed by the regime’s media outlets as a form of validation of their anti-Western stance.

The Iranian regime’s focus on these events contrasts sharply with its treatment of domestic dissent, where student activists face harsh penalties for similar activities.

The discrepancy has not gone unnoticed by the Iranian public, who have criticized the regime’s apparent hypocrisy.

Khamenei himself has seized on the protests as a victory for the pro-Hamas sentiment among Western students, interpreting their actions as a global sensitivity to the Palestinian cause….

Hamas is one of the major shock-troops of Iranian hegemony. They are beginning to make their presence felt in Lebanon and will probably take over the West Bank and Golan Heights from the Palestinian Authority in the next year or two. 

Campus Hamas protestors are therefore, fighting for Iran, who are not just trying to eliminate Israel, but are trying to overthrow Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. Then all will be united under Sharia Law, Ayatollah Khamenei's interpretation.

That means women will be largely uneducated and invisible and eligable for marriage at a young age. Girls who rebel against the invisablilty law are fair game for arrests, beatings, torture, rape, and murder. 

This is ultimately what stupid western university students are fighting for.

Islamic Madness > Preached in Canada - Does Islamic Scripture confirm a horrible interpretation of Mark 9:48?

 

Canada: Muslim cleric calls on Muslims to wage jihad

and be killed in the process so they’ll get 72 virgins

JAN 3, 2024 2:30 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

How many people will be killed because of this exhortation from Sheikh Younus Kathrada? While he is calling upon young Muslims to seek martyrdom, which involves killing and being killed, the Canadian government is busy clamping down on “Islamophobia.”

The Qur’an guarantees paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). It makes a promise to those who gain a place in paradise: “Indeed, for the righteous is achievement, enclosed gardens and vineyards, and large-breasted women of equal age, and a full cup” (78:31-34). A hadith has Muhammad expand on this: “There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah will marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from his inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have desirable front passages and he will have a male member that never becomes flaccid (i.e., soft and limp)’” (Sunan Ibn Majah vol. 5, book 37, no. 4337). The “inheritance from the people of hell” are women who have been condemned to eternal torment and sentenced to serve their time by becoming sex slaves for the Muslim men in paradise.

This is absolutely stunning! I have never read these passages before and I am astonished by how well it fits with the Bible. In Mark 9:48, when Jesus says, “Where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched” (ESV), He is talking about Hell. Few scholars will attribute that to mean that the male member will never become flaccid, but it strikes me as being appropriate punishment for those who sexually abuse women and children. Imagine the horror of 'never becoming flaccid'. I have always questioned my interpretation of Mark 9:48, but never expected to find what appears to be confirmation in Islamic Scripture.

Why would a virgin be 'people from Hell'?  This is surely a joke being played upon naive Muslim boys to get them to commit suicide. It is madness, like the madness we see in the eyes of the Sheikh in the photo below. Perhaps his madness comes from reaching such an old age and wondering if he completely missed out on the 72 virgins.

Canadian Sheikh Younus Kathrada in Friday Sermon Titled “Jihad and Marytrdom”:

Martyrs Receive 72 Virgins in Paradise, Nobody Has The Right to Mock This – 

We’ll See Who Has the Last Laugh; May Allah Make Us Martyrs,

Grant Victory to the Mujahideen, Curse the Jews

MEMRI, December 1, 2023:

On December 3, 2023, the Muslim Youth Victoria YouTube channel livestreamed a sermon delivered by Canadian Islamic scholar Sheikh Younus Kathrada titled “Jihad and Martyrdom.”

In the sermon, Sheikh Kathrada listed the seven blessings received by a martyr when he is killed while waging Jihad for the sake of Allah, which include receiving 72 black-eyed houri virgins in Paradise. 

Kathrada said that the enemies of Islam mock the Muslims about the promise of 72 virgins and label mujahideen as terrorists, but are in fact jealous of the Muslims, adding: “Let’s see who has the last laugh.” He also cursed Muslims who similarly mock the idea of receiving 72 virgins in Paradise, elaborating that Allah’s martyrs have sacrificed everything for His sake and for the sake of Islam, and that nobody has the right to mock them.

But the reality is, some, if not most of the Muslim martyrs have not sacrificed everything for Allah, but have rather sacrificed everything for 72 virgins. But they will not be virgins, nor will they be found in Paradise.

In addition, he praised the mujahideen in Gaza, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kashmir, and said: “I beg of Allah to make us of those who have been martyred in His cause.” He concluded his sermon by asking Allah to grant victory to the mujahideen all over the world, to annihilate the Jews, and to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

California: Muslim cleric weeps, asks ‘What have we done

wrong to not be martyrs for the sake of Allah?’

JAN 3, 2024 3:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

In Islam, a martyr is not just someone who is killed for Allah, but someone who kills non-Muslims for Allah.

“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

Will anyone in the congregation take Mohammad S. Ahmed’s words to heart?

Torrance, California Imam Mohammad S. Ahmed During Friday Sermon:

The Children Of Israel Have A Long History Of Wickedness, Murder, 

And Occupation; Bursts Into Tears: What Have We Done Wrong To Make Allah 

Not Choose Us To Be Martyrs Like The Palestinians?

MEMRI, December 23, 2023:

Imam Mohammad S. Ahmed broke down in tears during a December 22, 2023 Friday sermon at the Islamic Institute of Torrance, California, asking: “What have we done wrong to not be martyrs for the sake of Allah?” He added: “What have we done for our mothers not to be like the mothers of the martyrs in Palestine […] for our men not to be among those resisting in Palestine?” Ahmed went on to say that the Palestinians have been chosen by Allah to be “the best people living on the earth nowadays.” He said that the Children of Israel have a long history of cowardice, wickedness, and murder and that Allah has punished them for this. The sermon was posted on the YouTube channel of the Islamic Institute of Torrance.

Imam Mohammad S. Ahmed: “Whatever is happening nowadays in Palestine is not something that is new or just recent. The Children of Israel have a long history of cowardice, a long history of wickedness, a long history of murder and occupation, and all kinds of things that Allah has punished them for.

But then, why is Allah punishing you? 

“How come Allah chose those Palestinian Muslims to be closer to him? What have we done wrong to be so far from Allah? What have we done wrong to not be martyrs for the sake of Allah? What have we done wrong to not be blessed like the people in Palestine have been blessed? What have we done wrong for our mothers to not be like the mothers of the martyrs is Palestine? What have we done wrong for our men not to be among those resisting in Palestine?

“What have we done wrong for us not to be chosen for that perfect picture that the Palestinians have drawn today? That perfect picture of faith in Allah, that perfect picture’s trace, that perfect picture of belief. They were chosen for this picture…

“They were chosen for this. This is not our choice, it is the choice of Allah, and He chose them to be the best people living on the face of the earth nowadays. He did not choose us.”

Have you ever heard such madness? You have not been chosen to be martyrs for Allah because the Real God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has given you an opportunity to renounce your false god and turn to the Truth. Jesus said: I am the Truth!
