Islamic religious police

What they did to women and stuff, just the same as the Taliban.

Same as the Mutawa in Saudi Arabia.

You listen to the Iranian mullahs, they have a high view of the Calvinists, of the Puritans.

They're all nuts.

Now, what are those military conditions that have to be set? The levers of the regime, those repressive levers, those have to be destroyed.

Now, between the Basij, which are basically the Morality Police and the Pazdaran, the IRGC, those that are purposed for internal repression, those are the IRGC land forces and the Basij, together it's about 1.6 million troops.

They're spread out over 11 commands across Iran.

Iran's got about 30 provinces, I think, so roughly three provinces per command.

And then you have the Besiege, which is basically the version of the Kassapo.

And then you have the Morality Police.

So you have all these forces within Iran, and it's the extremist ones that we have to be concerned.

Yeah, let's talk about the NCRI.

And, uh, this couple came from Bangladesh, and they made their way to, uh, um, uh, Mecca, and they, uh, were, uh, getting frisky and making whoopee in a, uh, in a mosque there in Mecca.

And the, they got caught probably by the religious police, the Muttawa, and, uh, they brought them in and said, "You can't, uh, do that in a mosque in Mecca.

Uh, you are sentenced to death." And the, the, uh, method, the preferred method is decapitation.

It's decapitation.

What happens to women under Sharia? What happens to women under Islamic law? You can go on the internet and watch videos of women being brutally flogged, violently flogged a hundred times by Muslim men.

under Sharia, by the Mutawa, or by the Taliban.

What happens to it? That's okay.

As long as you hate Christians, the white male patriarchy, as long as you, which they identify with Christianity and Judaism, it's to your own destruction.

I do have family members, cousins, that were literally hunted through the streets by the Morality Police, maybe because a little bit of hair was showing under their hijab.

And I also have an uncle.

The IRGC was trying to kill him, and this was after he received 50 lashings from the government.

Yeah, there's been a lot of sort of conflicting reporting on that.

I definitely want to get the record straight in that sense.

But what I described to Abdul and the audience and what I'll tell you now is I do have family members, cousins that were literally hunted through the streets by the morality police, maybe because a little bit of hair was showing under their hijab and like.

something like that.

I mean, the fact that you'd even have a morality police is just insane.

In time, they can be suppressed in the moment, but the anger and the sense of wanting revenge stay and they make the next protest harder and more violent, as we saw again in the day protests.

But with Women Live Freedom specifically, the news that Mahsa Amini had been killed in the custody of the Morality Police came after a whole summer of images circulating online of police treating women violently and humiliating them, dragging them on the ground, pushing them into vans.

And then a young woman is killed like that.

And there is a video of the moment she collapsed while she was in the custody of the morality police.

And then the story of her brother, how he begged them, like, please, we are like strangers in this city.

Do not take my sister, you know.
