Man tips the turban of an Iranian cleric in protest, despite the death penalty being proposed for this act of protest. ---

Tossing the turbans of clergymen as they are walking in streets is now part of the current wave of antigovernment protests across Iran, which started as a reaction to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in custody of hijab police. https://www.rferl.org/a/Iranian_Cleric_Urges_More_Executions_Of_Protesters/1943226.html

These young Iranians are going to be the fittest in the world, run-tip-run. Good luck to them.

Death penalty goes both ways. Let's see mobs start beating them on the street and if a few die. ..

Fuck all religious fascists.

Imagine sucking the dick of a god who would fucking smush you for the sin of having your hat knocked off. Religious people are all nuts.
elgwango1
Theres 13 countries where you can be executed for having the wrong religious beliefs

That is not a man, tipping the turban. Look at the scarf, the knee knocking gate/ jumping. Go girl!

Fuck every religion and every follower of one, fuck every single one of you.

I too, am not a fan of religion.

WE all deserve to be free of religious oppression.

If they actually kill all those protesters getting their turban knocked off is going to be the least of the clerics problems.

Religion is disinformation.
SoulfulSerenade
Religion is a cult
DarkRedCape
Religion is a scam. Someone very smart a very long time ago thought of a way to get rich, power, and control, all from a book of fairy tales
Flaptrapper
Religion is pestilence
flordelasantillas
How about taking them instead then tossing it in a dumpster. Or, get a whole bunch of 'em and burn 'em in a public bonfire.
RetrogradeLlama
I'd comment but mods don't want us denigrating a culture, even when it's an oppressive religious culture that doesn't respect human rights.
Youhavinagiraffe
It's not hard to call Iran's regime a shitstain abusive theocracy without denigrating Iranian people or muslims generally. Try harder, maybe
Youhavinagiraffe
Obviously I will entirely retract and apologise for my response if ny comment itself gets moderated. Your move imgur I guess?

Never saw the point of religious headwear until right now. It is to hid the bald spot, isn't it? That is its entire point, isn't it?....
SockUnderARock
Don't make fun of a religious guy's bald head, he will summon two bears from the forest to kill all the village kids. (2 Kings 2:23-25)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUM8kHGPzfM Here's a helpful song about why.
TsubakiTragic
My mantra... never trust an old white guy wearing a funny hat. Never have, never will.
Lichelf
Religious headwear fills the same role as all other religious garments (or ceremonial garbs, or job uniforms, or theater costumes).
FnordGallop
Yes, this is the classic joke about why the Rabbi always wears the Yarmulke - it's to cover the Rabbi's bald spot.
ALLCAPSROCK
the turban wearer should be fined for not having his turban secured to his person!
Sav89
In Canada we tip cows. In the middle east they tip turbans.. and risk death.

This is great. Fuck all religions. Do NOT tell me how to live my one, short, life. And I won’t tell you how to live yours.
dixxienormus
So is target practice on protesters.
HorrorMango
Too awesome! Worried that they might set up decoy clerics now and get busted.

Collect them all! Get every slimy one of them.

But only if the turbans are worn by people supporting Iran's repressive regime, otherwise, leave them turbans alone

Knocking it OFF his head, easy level. Knocking his head as hard as you can - sounds like more fun.

IDK, seems like it falls under the "protests are the nice version"
WhatSayYouCitizen
I'm pretty sure that if I went around removing clothing (especially religious symbols) from others in the US it'd be a hate crime. OK imgur.
oldernowiser
OMG. His head was exposed. He should go commit suicide for his sin.
DogGuyInCatWorld
Part of me thinks it's awesome, part of me thinks it's disrespectful, but mostly I'm concerned people could be killed for such a trivial act
gtollie
Probably don’t hurt the cleric more than slapping Rudy on the back
killbillsexwife
It’s not trivial it’s a revolutionary act that diminishes the power of the theocracy. It brave and necessary.
NOTFOT
They don`t deserve respect - just disdain.
Imapancakenom
Men like this deserve all the disrespect we could possibly give them.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Disrespectful? They preach women are cattle. Knocking their hat off is the gentlest thing they could deserve.
JesuisThor
I mean ofc invading somebody’s personal space is disrespectful. In the right circumstances would I knock off somebody’s cap? Sure.
JesuisThor
Some religious attire, same as a regular cap. I refuse to respect whatever stupid story you subscribe to
Calicious
Is it more disrespectful than forcing women into submission? Do these clergy even deserve respect in the first place?
ArdentSlacker
If the assholes weren't killing, nobody'd be disrespecting 'em this way.
teapartyyy
Without context it would be disrespectful. With context this is an excellent protest.
Snooj
No worries, the use of "clergymen" is akin to Nazis calling themselves clergymen. Self-appointed title to justify hatred and repression.
DeathLemons
If your religion causes you to treat others as leasers then you absolutely deserve to be wrecked, constantly.
lujotu
Yeah, sell them that car outright.
ScottyTheMan
cunts like that are not deserving of respect,
Jace99
They murder women for showing their HAIR.Do you actually think these fucks believe in anything, let alone the religion they claim to follow?
HasteTheFool
Yes. Belief is a terrible thing which has been sugar-coated in some parts of the world.

I wonder, whether the regime will pull the Tiananmen Square Card. Rumor has it, they have a lot to lose.
fickeroffick
Depends where it happens IMO. In the West, it's a shameful attack. In a Muslim-majority country, it should be viewed like burning their flag
Youhavinagiraffe
In the context of Iran it is awesome BECAUSE it is disrespectful. Although I imagine some arsehole right-wingers will decide that...
Youhavinagiraffe
...this gives them license to do the same thing in an entirely different context and then shriek "lib'ral bias" when they get called out
rijstewafels
It is supposed to be disrespectful. Because religious assholes like that murder in the name of their god.
brianingram
Hear! Hear!
finniss
Respect is earned and sometimes disrespect is too!
SarcasticComment
it quits being disrespectful when it impacts the oppressors. Like claiming black people "took up white only seating" during a lunch rush.
mrthewhitee
Don't be concerned with respecting people who don't respect others in turn.
arkuamore
Given the context, the disrespect is more than earned.
Snezko
That's why i hate all religion, cuz ppl DO get killed over it... (no that's not a movie thing, that's a proven history fact...)
Kateness
I think it order for it to be disrespectful, they have to be worthy of respect in the first place.
adventuredude
Part of me wants to see the mulla stabbed to death in the street...
LeifTheUnlucky
If people would be killed for such trivial acts, then it's the time for less trivial acts.
TomBrokaw
So the penalty is the same if I knock off his hat or his head? I know one which will be more effective, and if the risk is the same...
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Exactly.
Northstar219
I think the clergy there must have felt untouchable for decades and for some of them, their whole lives. Shaking them from that delusion is>
Northstar219
> definitely a good thing, but I as well hope people are careful/safe.

I get the need to protest but as a Sikh if man went for my turban someone may get cut up.
Merky600
Knew a Sikh guy at my work. I’d back him up. Good guy. True to his word on anything. First to say good morning.
fantasticlight
Turbans are also a cultural headgear across the world going back hundreds of years.
frostybox
As a smarter-than-average American (but still dumb cause American) Where do Sikh's generally come from?
fantasticlight
Punjab region of India. It got partitioned during Independance so most of it is now in Pakistan.
frostybox
Hmm, just read a little about it, cool. Not that I've met many Sikh, but they are always very kind people.
fantasticlight
They're also not pacifists. Indira Gandhi attacked the Golden Temple in 1984 and her Sikh bodyguards gave her the receipt.
