      Iran is the non-US world & the men are protesting women's lack of right to choose so I'm realy not sure what you're getting at.

      I'm glad there are men protesting the fact that women can't choose to wear the hijab. What will happen though when the women also so choose?

      They get prosecuted. That's what the protest is against. That law.

      So basically pointless. Because there isn't a law is there? There's a religious decree that's unlikely 2 b changed by millions that adhere.

      Yes, there's a law. They are protesting the law. They want to change the law. http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/women-protesting-hijab-1979/ … Part of this: http://mystealthyfreedom.net/en/

      Religious decrees can be made but shld be able to be ignored. The Iranian law is for all women believers or not.

      You might think protesting unjust laws are pointless and you might be right but the alternative is accepting them.

      We live in a world where Saudi Arabia gets voted onto the UN's women's rights counsel. I just don't see how this protest does anything.

      So, women shouldn't protest forced veiling in Iran because it won't remove Saudi Arabia from the UN Women's Right's Counsel?

      This I won't respond to since I made no such claim or conclusion. I will tackle the other one though.

      Then what did you mean by the former tweet? Was it just a non-sequitur or do you see a connection between Saudi thing & Iranian protests?

          1/2 I'll be honest, I can't keep up with you. Though I definitely tried. I think the bigger problem is with the religion of Islam itself...

          Sorry. I've been told I do this. Absolutely the bigger problem is with the religion of Islam itself.

          Wld it be true to say your concern is that sometimes ppl get so preoccupied with the symptoms, they miss the underlying cause?

          Not seeing the bigger picture? If so, I agree. But I do feel its still worth tackling local issues when they arise.

          I can't fix the problem of Islam & make it go away but I can criticise it & also point out & protest the problems that arise in the UK.

          2/2 and what a large majority of its adherents believe irrespective of the hijab http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-beliefs-about-sharia/ …

          OK, I absolutely agree. But how does this relate to people being stupid for protesting hijab laws or make protests pointless?

          It's not as tho they got given the option of ending all problems caused by Islam & protesting hijab laws & they chose the latter.

          I don't think Iranian women can fix every problem inspired by Islam. They can protest oppressive laws tho & it's better than not doing so.
