Hey Mr #Taliban, Shut the fuck up. A Fatwa from the Minister to Promote Vice and Prevent Virtue herself. هی آقای طالبان، خفه شو. به موجب فتوای رئیس وزارت امر به منکر و نهی از معروف #BreadWorkFreedom #WomanLifeFreedom #Afghanistan نان_کار_آزادی# زن_زندگی_آزادی#
در پاسخ به آذر ماجدی و هما ارجمند: چرا باید با اسلام سیاسی متفاوت از هر نیروی ارتجاعی دیگری برخورد کرد؟ مخالفت با نسلکشی، جنگ و امپریالیسم هرگز به معنای سکوت در برابر حماس، طالبان یا جمهوری اسلامی نیست. tinyurl.com/ahu9nykj
Opposing genocide & imperialism does not require silence on Hamas, the Taliban or Islamic regime in Iran. My response to Azar Majedi & Homa Arjomand: why should Islamism be exempt from the standards applied to every other reactionary force? tinyurl.com/mw33ruhs

Islam is an idea. Islamism far-right political project. Muslims are diverse individuals. Collapse all three & criticism of power gets repackaged as racism. My extended speech from Steven Greer's book launch on Islamophobia published in @FreethinkerMag tinyurl.com/2jxvan8h
See my interview today on LBC News Radio with Sandy Warr: “Peace” talks are a farce, a cover for a controlled war that benefits Islamic regime of Iran, Trump and Israel. And the people of Iran and the wider region pay the price. www.facebook.com/share/v/1C2j...
A politics of emancipation must confront both US imperialism and the Islamic regime of Iran. The attempt to subordinate one to the other is a form of political erasure. We choose neither camp of reactionary powers. The third pole. Read essay: www.thepensivequill.com/2026/04/agai...

The real conflict in Iran is not between foreign powers and the regime. It is between the regime and the people. My full interview with Hein Htet Kyaw: libcom.org/article/inte...
War does not being freedom. It destroys societies and strengthens reactionary forces. My full interview with Hein Htet Kyaw: libcom.org/article/inte...
IRAN IS TRAPPED BETWEEN BOMBS AND THEOCRACY But the real struggle is not between reactionary powers. It is between authoritarianism and the people who refuse to live under it. Read my interview: freethinker.co.uk/2026/03/iran... #WomanLifeFreedom #IranWar

Iran’s future cannot be decided by bombs and replacing one inherited dictatorial ruler with another, whether it’s Mojtaba Khamenei or Reza Pahlavi. Real change comes from Iran’s people: women, workers, students and civil society. tinyurl.com/39wv3jv6
Blasphemous. Corrupt. Apostate. Kafir. Accusations that shift ground from politics to piety, from power to offence & turn dissent into sacrilege so authority no longer has to defend itself. A society that punishes women for blasphemy defending power. maryamnamazie.com/womens-blasp...
Bombs and theocracy cannot bring freedom. The future is a women’s revolution. Woman Life Freedom #IWD2026 #WomanLifeFreedom #Iran #Rojava #InternationalWomensDay
