*beg

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Grimm.

Needs some * Femme. Gotta love the cleric's argument, men have no self control therefor we need to treat women like shit so we won't be tempted.

Round of applause for that womans comments. She is so brave and smart its turning me on, guess thats another good reason independent thinking should be forbidden.

*femme for sure

Adding video to channels (Femme) - requested by BicycleRepairMan.

FWIW, and I'm no scholar of Islam, I do remember reading that the Koran enumerates something like 10 powers of sexuality and, according to this enumeration, women possess something like 7 of them. Apparently, the hijabs and birqas are Islam's way of leveling the powers so that the genders can relate with one another with more equality. A very different way of thinking from the West, to be sure, but I think this is rarely appreciated or understood in the West.

I. LOVE. THAT. WOMAN.

As a former Muslim, let me say that I think this is the best MEMRI TV clip I have ever seen here on the Sift (or anywhere else!).

Brave and honest lady. The dangers of theocracy well illuminated. Men that mustn't be tempted. Right. It's about men who mustn't be challenged.

Brave and articulate woman, I could never make that plea like she did, I would get angry at those dark ages clerics.

Iran did once free itself from the control of religion but thanks to the US, it did not last.
