WTF is this video? makes no sense..it is true that government enforces Hijab on women, but the fact is that women are resisting it and that's the whole point

@parisas Well I guess TF is it's about Iranian/Muslim women's feelings about hejab and compulsory. The (non-TV) video was recorded in Spring 2008, before the 2009 election protest.

Stop the bullshit propaganda..

U wont get regime change in Iran..Dont try to show that the Iranians are unhappy with their leadership..the fact is, that today every Muslim nation would like to have a leader like Ahmadinejad..

"Kos sher"?

Kos-e-sher "Kos" means female pussy in Persian/Farsi language. "Sher" means poem. Together they point to something crapy or someone who talks bullshit.

The head scarf is an Islamic prescription but it cannot be imposed. So it's an act of faith. We never had one woman forced to wear the head scarf during the Prophet's life. It's a choice. This is why I'm always saying it's against Islamic teaching to force a woman to wear a head scarf. But it's also against human rights to force her to take it off. It should be a free choice.

Female vagina? as opposed to male vagina? lol

sher sounds like shehr. it means fluid or milk. You can extrapolate from that what it literaly means. But yes BS is the general meaning of this phrase.
