It’s a very privileged position to come from but it’s still fucking wild to me the amount of influence religion still holds over the entire planet. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so terrifying
DUBAI, Oct 22 (Reuters) - A teenage Iranian girl, who fell into a coma earlier this month following an alleged encounter with officers over violating the country's hijab law, is said to be "brain dead", Iranian state media reported on Sunday.
Right groups such as Kurdish-Iranian Hengaw were the first to make Armita Geravand's hospitalisation public, publishing photos of the 16-year-old girl on social media that showed her unconscious with a respiratory tube and bandage over her head, visibly on life support.
There have been concerns by rights advocates that Geravand might face the same fate as Mahsa Amini, whose death in the custody of morality police last year sparked months of nationwide anti-government protests that posed one of the boldest challenges to Iran's clerical rulers.
Iran has denied that Geravand was hurt after a confrontation on Oct. 1 with officers enforcing the mandatory Islamic dress code in the Tehran metro.
Iran's theocratic establishment has imposed restrictions on women's dress since a popular revolution deposed the secular and Western-backed Shah in 1979.
Defying the strict Islamic dress code, more women have been appearing unveiled in public places such as malls, restaurants and shops across the country since Amini's death.

More Islamofascist misshegas, The Muslims get what they accept, same in Tehran as in Beirut, as in Damascus, as in Sannaa, as in Riyadh, as in Rafah. But but but it's the Jews abusing the Muslims, don't you know, it the Jews, the Jews.
Some of us are able to comprehend complexity and hold multiple thoughts in our heads at the same time. It's possible (and the only way to be logically consistent) to understand that:
in Iran, Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent other Muslims;
in Israel, Jewish fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Muslims, and Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Jews;
in Palestine, Jewish and Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Muslims.
This isn't a weekend football game where you have to pick one side, wear their colours and then support them until the final whistle. This is real life, it's complicated. Don't turn mass suffering into a sport.
But but but it's the Jews abusing the Muslims, don't you know, it the Jews, the Jews.
No, all Abrahamic religions are by in large completely fucking garbage. Arguing over which is worse is missing the entire point. They all use the same deceptive language and semantics in order to paint anyone who fights against their ideologies as either apostates or bigots.
