There is really nothing good in other side either, living in taghut land while critizing Islamic countries and praising the west is worse.

I don't see anyone praising the west here.

You see the problem with your statement is that you can not apply to all those who live in West while praise Islamic countries, because for some of them there is no possibility to move to Islamic countries in the first place.

And why is that? What's the cause for it? Continuing to live, procreate, and pay taxes in the West won't do much to improve the situation in the islamic countries.

Yes, islamic laws. But why are you supporting it when you are enjoying American laws? Does your family or my family follow every single islamic law 24hrs a day? Is there no such thing as leniency? One mistake, moral police out to get you - do we have this here? If you want a perfect islamic system, it won't happen. Until Imam Mahdi comes. No fallible can bother other fallible people how to live life and what to wear and what to eat. It is none of your business. You can recommend, but you cannot force. If strict islamic law system was correct, Aya. Sistani would have implemented it. 

It is really not about perfect system, it is about which is better system to safeguard your imaan. Islamic countries or western la-la lands whose whole system is made of atheism and destroy the faith in God.

They can only bother when the action is done in publicity and the action is against the Islamic laws, this is based on Quranic verse of

Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity. -- Quran 3:104

We have many similiar hadith than this following one:

Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri reported that the prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand. If he is not able to do so, then with his tongue. And if he is not able to do so, then with his heart, and that is the weakest form of faith".

Do you think in the time of Prophet (saws) when The Prophet and the companions saw people doing haram in public they just ignore it and said that is not our business?

Would you like it if your family member, or relative is arrested and beaten and put in coma over their non-perfect hejab? 

Please don't defend. Islamic laws can be good with individual freedom. Many of my close family members wear hejab, but out of their own choice. There is no force in Islam.

No different than how the US is imposing dictator regimes on other countries around the world.

My brother, in islamic society in most islamic countries, you are not liked as a shia and fatwas and oppressions are easily given rightful meaning to attack you. In the West, we have freedom to do Azadari without suicide squads coming after us. Please learn to appreciate the good that comes from your Lord, and reject the evil.

Respond to the rest of the post.  Stop cherry picking.

You put labels on people who disagree with you to dismiss anything that is questioned about your beliefs and statements.

Words like mansplaining, toxic masculinity, misogynist, the patriarchy, transphobia, branding people and automatically dismissing them without having a discussion on what you disagree with.  

This is why your society is outrageously dumb and desensitized of anything outside America.  

I responded to Sister @starlightand bint al kuffa and they both gave irrelevant one-liners.

While the rest of the world is suffering from the foreign policies of the American government, you want to defend the degenerate American culture, and give democracy (destroy) to the country that refuses to obide by American policies.

US court orders Hezbollah to pay compensation over 2006 war

Israel owes Lebanon hundreds of millions worth of damages from an oil spill caused by a missile attack in 2006

By News Desk - September 21 2022

According to an AP report from 20 September, a group of US nationals won a case against Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah at the federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

In the ruling, Judge Steven L. Tiscione awarded the plaintiffs $111 million in compensation for alleged “physical and emotional injuries” sustained by Hezbollah’s rocket attacks in Israel in 2006.

“Only by exacting a heavy price from those who engage in the business of terrorism can we prevent the suffering and loss of additional victims to their violence,” said Darshan-Leitner, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs.

The court found Hezbollah’s actions, which were defending Lebanon from Israeli aggressions during the ‘Second Lebanon War,’ to be in violation of the US Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA).

The ATA, better known as the Patriot Act, was established by the US in a bid to deter terrorist acts on US soil in addition to enhancing law enforcement tools against the perpetrators of such crimes.

Nonetheless, the plaintiff’s lawyers acknowledge that this was a psychological win, considering it unlikely for Hezbollah to give much thought to the court’s rulings.

Hezbollah’s media unit refused to comment on the ruling when contacted by AP.

The Israeli aggressions on Lebanon in 2006 resulted in the death of at least 1,191 Lebanese and the injury of 4,409 others.

Additionally, the Israeli attacks killed at least 56 foreign nationals, including 5 UN soldiers, while wounding at least 37 others.

Israel has not paid any compensations for the war, and neither has the US, which played an instrumental role in resupplying the Israeli army with weapons during the war.

The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted in November 2021 in favor of a resolution demanding that Israel pay Lebanon $856.4 million as compensation for an oil spill caused by their attacks.

In July 2006, the Israeli air force destroyed the storage tanks at the thermal power station in Jiyeh, causing a 10 km wide oil spill covering half of Lebanon’s coastline.

Over 25,000 tons of heavy fuel oil were released into the eastern Mediterranean sea, causing the “worst ecological disaster in the oceans and the first time an oil spill happens outside the open sea,” according to the Lebanese Ministry of Environment.

“Israel bears the responsibility to pay immediate compensation to the government of Lebanon and to other countries that were directly affected by the oil spill, such as Syria, whose beaches were partially polluted,” the resolution indicated.

The resolution has not been acknowledged by Israel and has been continuously rejected by US representatives at the UN.

The US has voted against all UN resolutions that were intended to condemn Israel for its crimes during the 34-day war in Lebanon, despite the general consensus around the war’s aggressive nature.

Idk what happened to this world people complaining about one person how they died which there isnt clear evidence also comparing scholars cursing them when no one talks about Pakistan shias getting attacked left right every day. No one talks about Morocco shias etc also no one talking about these women protesting iran going naked. Youse aren't here for islam yous here to follow your dreams, but not thinking the after life. These people are the same people who also cursed the martyreds which none of us have the right to do that, none of us done jihad or joined military. These are supportes of shah, enemy of waliyat Al fiqh they call iran government kufr. No one talking about how American soldier killed iraqi women yesterday.

[Zainuu]

It baffles me where this debate is moving. Many have provided concrete evidence about what actually happened in Iran like @Abu Hadi and @Ashvazdanghe and even some others but still no one has actually done anything to refute the evidence. Just plain non-sensical regime change talking points of CIA and MI6 reiterated again and again.

Sorry for calling out if it sounds bad. But this is for those who are way too busy on Iran-bashing rather than doing a sensible discussion.

Some will say: "Why do you call all this news as CIA talking points?"

Well, because it happened in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan. We allowed these talking points and embraced them finally everytime. Result was that all of us are crying on the state of these countries.

 

Some will say: "Do you live in Iran?"

Doesn't matter. After all, I am not spreading this issue globally. I would like to ask: Do you live in Iran which qualifies you to drag yourself in there internal affairs. "Mehsa Aminis" die everyday in my country. In neighboring  Pakistan, "one or the other officer in there respective morality police" commits a crime. It's not normal and it's not good. But no one talks about that in international politics, neither in east nor in west. So, if fire is there in Iran, why is the west ignited? Let them solve there own problems and let the people of Iran stand for themselves. They are not babies and they don't need west as there 'wali e Faqih'.

Then, there might be another question: "Why shias can't stop defending Iran?"

Because we regret that we never defended Iraq, (we are glad that Qassem Suleimani did that effort). We regret that we never defended Syria, we regret that we never defended afghanistan. All of us can see those countries. We defend Iran because Iran is on the frontline of war against imperialism and colonialism. We support Iran because it was the vision of Khomeini of an Islamic government that will bar the billion and trillion dollar industries of Big Pharma and Big Tech, cosmetic industry, drug cartels and alcohol industry. Industry of gambling and all sorts of [Edited Out] that have made human beings worse than animals and that have destroyed societies. That have corrupted human character psychologically, morally, sociologically, theologically, economically... It's Iran alone in the middle and all these enemies of mankind attacking the establishment. Even if only we shias unite and support this country alone and give it a chance, we will see this country and it's establishment putting the marks of an Islamic sub-system in every country of the world. We will hear the name of Ahlulbayt (عليه السلام) from people we never ever had thought.

There was one more question: It is hypocrisy that those whose marja is not khamenei support him but don't accept him as a marja. And those who don't live there talk about Iran?

Is it necessary to be a muqallid of Sayyed al Khamenei to support the Islamic revolution? Now, we will divide Islam by Marjiyyat? What difference it creates if we follow sistani or khamenei or Shirazi or Waheed e Khorasani?

Does it mean we cannot support a country that destroyed the plans of imperialism against shias? Do you even remember that the roza of bibi Zainab was captured by terrorists and who can as a help of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) to secure that place?

 

I will add a few more details in the next post about the topic in question and let's see how the crocodile tears work.

[Zainuu]

Cry now or do you only cry when someone is reportedly killed by the 'regime' as you say?

What about this? Where is the outrage? Why no one goes to the NGOs and Human rights organisations for Zainab? Wasn't she a woman?

This is not the first time by the way. Riots betweem protests happened before as well when they attacked police stations, banks, telephone bpoths and other govt offices.

My issue is the fact that there are so many ardent supporters of the Iranian government paying taxes to the very country that opposes their islamic government while sitting comfortably far away in support of the opposite of what they preach.
That's the very definition of hypocrisy, isn't it?

Only a very small percentage of us may have very legitimate reasons for not relocating there, unless you're a hypocrite, since you may then persuade yourself of anything you think would work best for personal comfort.

Then, just as the Western media cherry picks its news outlets, the Iranian nation does with their politics.
Sure, it may be in the best interests of their country, but as the symbol of Shia Islam, shouldn't they act differently and unselfishly regardless of who their political views oppose? Wouldn't that be amongst the greatest jihad?

I will add a few more details in the next post about the topic in question and let's see how the crocodile tears work.

I also find it exceedingly amusing how when George Floyd was killed a couple of years ago, and violent protests broke out all over USA, neither WaPo, nor First Post, nor CNN, nor Guardian talked of a regime change there. No talk of storming the Capitol. No talk of decapitating Biden. No Op-Eds about how the country needs freedom and democracy (and by implication,a new regime). This is not at all to belittle any death, but how Floyd died was comparatively more clear cut and far less surrounded by controversies. Yet, aside from a few stray 'abolish the police' propositions from among the BLM protestors, nothing much came out by the way of subversion. When the response to one custodial death is a meek 'abolish the police', and to another one is 'uproot the dictatorship', 'starve the mullahs to death', it's pretty much in one's face that there's something deeper that's lurking there, and things cannot be taken to be in good faith anymore. 

NB: For potential bait-posts that are coming in response- no, I'm not engaging on this topic further than this, because the engagements here are not happening in good faith. The most that you people can get out of me is going to be a few HaHa reacts in response to your bait-posts. So please feel free to waste the forum's server space and bandwith if you intend to troll me. Wassalam, and signing off for the day.

There are a lot of supremacists on this thread.

Some of you supremacists, probably the majority, live in the western world and pay taxes to the taghut system, the so-called enemies of ahlul bayt, enemies of islam, while also believing that Iran represents and is the flag bearer of Shia Islam.
That's what I call hypocrisy.

 

Did you happen to catch Sayed Ammar's British Shi'ism lecture, by any chance? Seems like you're learning from him

My brother, 

Many of our imams were poisoned by those people, who later gave condolences to Imams family. So this is irrelevant. 

Who are you talking about? The Shirazis? (Not sarcastic btw, I genuinely don't know).

Even if Mahsa was a serial killer, Was it right to kill her without a fair trial? A healthy, young girl apparently had health problems that her family hid for years. Until Godly angels decided to free earth from her burden. 

IF - if - the case is as you put it, then yes, it was an unjust, tragic incident. But the problem is that this narrative comes from anti-Revolutionary pro-West media. Not for a second will I believe what these liars have to say.

Even If I am walking down the road completely naked, does that mean in any way to kill me?

Someone mentioned a great point before... I think it was Abu Hadi. He said that in Iran, many women aren't wearing proper hijab anyway. Then this police officer (supposedly) saw one woman (out of hundreds - mind you -) with a bad hijab, and he decided to detain her. How is this logical? This policeman grew up seeing women wearing the hijab in a faulty way for years, and then randomly decided to beat a woman to death? 

And this is only one problem with the story being presented. Another problem is that some investigators/doctors are saying that there's evidence of her being beaten, others say there isn't. @Ashvazdanghe mentioned that one of Mahsa Amini's family members said that she had fainted multiple times before, but he retracted his statement after her death.

The whole thing reeks of lies.

(And the Western media's history of lying about these things doesn't help their case).

If you want a perfect islamic system, it won't happen. Until Imam Mahdi comes. No fallible can bother other fallible people how to live life and what to wear and what to eat. It is none of your business. You can recommend, but you cannot force. If strict islamic law system was correct, Aya. Sistani would have implemented it. 

1. No one ever said that Iran was perfect. But it is, like someone mentioned before, the only government in the world working to implement the Ja'fari fiqh and shari3a. 

2. You mention fallibles, then you go on to say that if the strict Islamic law system was correct, Ayatollah Sistani (ha) would have implemented it. First of all, Ayatollah Sistani isn't infallible. He makes mistakes too. You can't disagree with us (pro-Revolutionaries) for supposedly saying that Iran is perfect then go on to treat Sayyed Sistani in the same manner. Secondly, Ayatollah Sistani doesn't hold control over Iraq in the same way that Imam Khamenei (ha) holds control over Iran. They're two different leaders in two different situations.

Aren’t we all old enough to see the patterns. These are typical “embarrassment” and “diversion” tactics whenever a real opposition leader has a chance to meet other world leaders, so the distractors have fodders to talk superfluous things instead of issue. 
 

Anybody remembers Neda Soltani, and the girl afterwards in Ahmedinejad protests.  

This whole Ms. Amini thing was about this below.
