Women's sport is a humiliating
"dirty" Western culture, says Grand Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpayegani, a prominent cleric in the holy city of Qom, according to AP, in opposition to President Ahmadinejad who praised Iranian women medalists at the 16th Asian games at Guangzhou, China.
1AP reports that
"These games and others like them are creations of enemies so that Muslim women lose their Islamic chastity and dignity," he was quoted as saying.1
Golpayegani was also quoted as telling a group of female clerics that Western culture has a "dirty" approach toward women, even those in positions of influence.1
Iran permits only women sports without any male contact and women are barred from even attending male soccer games.
1RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty reports that Golpayegani said on November 30 that sending Iranian women to international sporting events is a "disgrace" that should be stopped.
2Ayatollah Abbas Kabi, a member of the Society of Qom Seminary Teachers, has also criticized the state TV for broadcasting women competing calling it "deplorable" and "
bizarre."
2In 2008, Ahmad Alamolhoda, the Friday Prayer leader in Mashhad, described the participation of Iranian women in the Beijing Olympics, where a female rower Homa Hossein carried the national flag as "
waging war on Islamic values."

UPDATE: CorrectionAP originally reported that the cleric who made the "dirty" comment was Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Ali Safi Golpayegani and that name was originally used in this article.
But AP has now made an
announcement that it made a mistake and that the name of the cleric was Grand Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpayegani and not his late brother Grand Ayatollah Ali Safi Golpayegani.
As a result the name has been change here accordingly.
Comments:Calling Western culture "dirty" is just part of the
Islamic supremacist ideology that views non-Muslims or
infidels or
Kuffar as inferior, while using victim-card and race-card by calling any criticism of Islam as 'racism', 'dicrimination' and 'Islamophobia'.
And as usual, this will be followed by deafening silence from women's right, anti-racist, anti-fascist and human rights organizations and people who only criticize the Christian West.
Note that this is coming from senior religious figures and
not from some fringe minority, as politically correct elite apologists of Islamic extremism and some Muslims like to say in excuse. Just a reminder to watch out for the '
minimizers' trying to '
minimize' the issue.
Other recent supremacist examples includes,
Muslims saying that water carried by Christian woman Asia Bibi was 'unclean' in Pakistan where Christians are considered "unclean"
Musa Sayed, 45, and Ahmad Shah, 50, awaiting trial and facing death penalty in Afghanistan for conversion to Christianity from Islam (Presumably there is no death penalty, or any penalty at all for Christians or anyone else if they convert to Islam.)
Asian (Pakistani Muslim) gangs raping White British girls out of a belief that they have lower morals and so "deserve what they get" (A problem that is being covered up by authorities)
a Western couple being called "swine" and "infidels" by Hussein Didi in Maldives as several people looked on without raising any objections (They thought it was funny)
revelation that some Muslim weekend school textbooks in Britain taught that some Jews were turned into "apes"
fatwa by the National Fatwa Council of Malaysia that a child must be considered a Muslim even if only one parent was a Muslim (Its not equal and half-half but Muslims get all)
Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki saying that Iran would not attack its neighbors because they were "Muslims" (probably meaning that it is okay to attack the lesser non-Muslims)
A recent article posted
here on
IranNazi.ir also highlighted not Islamic but
racist anti-Semitic Persian supremacist ideas in Iran with links to neo-Nazis.
Last month, the body set up by Suadi Arabian government to issue fatwas issued a
fatwa forbidding women from working as cashiers saying that mixing of unrelated men and women was forbidden.
Muslims like to portray, to people ignorant about Islam, their sexual repression and sex-segregation as protecting women and having higher sexual moral standards.
The quick dismissal to this dubious argument is to point out that in the Quran, pious Muslims are promised
food, drinks, women and sex in the Islamic heaven! A god (in this case Allah) that promises food and sex as rewards for obeying him and treats
women as sex objects and trophies to be won is a very questionable god. Some terrorists (see
Abdel Shehadeh) believed that they would get 72 virgins for a heavenly orgy, if they died carrying out jihad terror attack. Some translations of the Koran even say that Qur'an 78:33 describes some females (houris) as having '
large breasts'.
As for women's right, to point just one example, Koran 4:34 tells husbands to "beat" disobedient wives, and the UAE supreme court
ruled in October that Sharia (Islamic law)
allows the husband to beat his wife and children if it leaves no marks.
Also keep in mind that the Islamic god Allah is a pre-Islamic Arabian pagan (moon?) god, and in many pagan religions there is sex in heaven with even gods having sex. Take the Greek and Roman pagan gods for example. So this heavenly sex shows the pagan elements in Islam. This further supports the thesis that Islam is a religion created by mixing elements from paganism, Judaism and Christianity with Muhammad's own ideas and modeled on Christianity (with violent jihad replaced with Jesus' peaceful message), where Jesus the messiah who came to fulfill Biblical prophecies, with Muhammad taking the place of Jesus and also coming to fulfill alleged prophecies (which prophecies and where? If they say in Jewish and Christian Bibles, they will get into trouble since there is none, except for the prophecies of a false prophet and the anti-Christ. The scriptures also contradict the Islamic account of things. If they then say that the Bible is unreliable, they contradicting themselves since the Koran says it is the word of god.). This is just a taste of some major points in the usual twists and turns in their arguments.
The funny thing is that the need by Muslims to cover up women in burquas and separated them from men seems to show, as someone suggested to me, that Muslims have such strong sexual lusts with such a low threshold for arousal that that even seeing women is likely to lead them into temptation.
Are they that horny that even the mere sight of a woman turns them on to a dangerous level? This is not too surprising though given that every time they think of heaven and its rewards, there is always that thought hanging in there.
