Tehran, 19 Dec. (AKI) - A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die.

"Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die," said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.

"I do not understand how these women who do not respect the hijab, 28 years after the birth of the Islamic Republic, are still alive," he said.

"These women and their husbands and their fathers must die," said Hassani, who is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in eastern Azerbaijan.

Hassani's statements came after two Kurdish feminists in Iran were accused of being members of an armed rebel group and of carrying out subversive activities threatening the security of the state.

It is believed that his statements and the arrests could spark a fresh crackdown on women who do not repect the Islamic dress code in Iran.

Thousands of women in Iran have already been warned this year for their "un-Islamic dress" such as wearing tight, short coats and skimpy headscarves.

Scratch the surface of any radical muslim, shia or sunni, and you'll find a child-molesting, pedophile....

[Bon mots]

Those are not arguments for veils!
Those photos are arguments for BURKHAS!

[RightWingConspirator]

Don’t you just love the “religion of peace”?

[TexasRepublic]

To summarize: Everybody is an apostate deserving to die, except me and thee [and I’m not too sure about thee].

But what about the grandfathers and the sons of these women. Shouldn’t they die as well?

The guy is such a panty waist when it comes to punishment.

[NurdlyPeon]

These women and their husbands and their fathers must die

Talk about a wishy-washy, ambiguous position. Typical politician.

Whatever....global warming is gonna kill us all.

But wait, Ron paul will save us all.

I’m sure the denunciations from American feminists will be coming in thick and fast...

>>”These women and their husbands and their fathers must die,” said Hassani, who... <<<

Two men for every girl?

Sounds about right to me, since under Sharia men are worth double a woman.

Less breeders, and far fewer hot heads to keep them bred.

Maybe they can all execute each other to death, and save us the trouble.

[Joe Boucher]

And some of the fat NAGs say I’m a sexist.

[Verloona Ti]

Amen. And if the sunnis and shi’ites want to play “calico cat and patchwork dog” till the bitter end in addition, so much the better!

[catbertz]

I'd like to think we can sit back and let them self-exterminate,
but I'm sure we could pitch in, if necessary :)

Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die,

And women who breathe oxygen deserve to die.

Maybe the reason so many people join Islam is because you don’t have to think......and thinking comes hard to many people these days....

In the meantime, NOW is focusing its efforts on some minor thing blown out of proportion in the USA.

And the NAG’s comment was:?

They just keep repeating to themselves: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the enemy of my enemy is my friend...."
