An Iranian monarchist who filmed herself pulling the headscarves off Iranians in London fled to Israel after UK police announced they were investigating her.

The woman allegedly responsible is an Iranian pro-Israel activist called Bahar Mahroo, who later closed her Instagram and TikTok accounts and claimed she found the videos online. However, a reserve image search found no sources for the video, other than her Twitter account.

    There is no scholar disputing this. Turkey is heavily secularized you might have heard of a guy called Atatürk.

    If a woman doesn’t want to wear a Hijab that’s up to her. But you don’t claim this is a contested subject among any Islamic scholars or part of Islam. It’s stated extremely clear.

      It is extremely clear based on your interpretation of Islam. Clearly not the case in South Asia or in Turkey. Let me guess- In Pakistan, the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, women are unIslamic.

      This is some hardcore misogyny you have going on.

        Uh… I think you’re mixing up the concept of sinning and not being a Muslim. You can, in fact, be a Muslim while still committing sins. And again, almost no Muslim, scholar or not, considers hijab to be optional. It’s just not a thing.

          Yes, again, I realize that is what the interpretation that you two are pushing is. Your buddy there doesn’t even known that Iranians aren’t Arabs and is calling me a racist over it.

        An Arab person or person living in an Islamic country is not by definition a Muslim.

        Calling all Arabs Muslims is just racism.
