In Iran (almost) all women are persecuted. And hijab is for me a symbol of this horrible persecution. For me hijab is a symbol of misogyny. No one has to have hijab. Nobody has to hide his face and his hair behind hijab. What the Swedish government has done is not political correctness. This is the biggest insult against all women who are fighting for their rights in Iran and who are often brutally murdered. These Swedish women may have business interests in Iran. This eastern country has a lot of oil and natural gas. And Sweden wants to get this wealth.

No wonder that right-wing extremism, populism and anti-liberalism have more and more adherents in Europe. Right-wing extremism, populism and anti-liberalism are fed by hypocrisy and false political correctness. Hypocrisy and indifference are their basic elements.

“If Sweden really cares about human rights, they should not be empowering a regime that brutalizes its own citizens while carrying out genocide in Syria; and if they care about women’s rights, then the female ministers never should have gone to misogynistic Iran in the first place,” said UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer.Walk of shame: Women of Sweden's "first feminist government in the world" don hijab as they walk past Iran's Rouhani https://t.co/aeEFgibVhV pic.twitter.com/urHrtObkYv— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) February 12, 2017
“They go to my country,” said Aliinejad recently in the European Parliament, “and they ignore millions of those women who send their photos to me and put themselves in danger to be heard. And [the European politicians] keep their smile, and wearing hijab, and saying this is a ‘cultural issue’—which is wrong.”Walk of shame: Women of Sweden's "first feminist government in the world" don hijab as they walk past Iran's Rouhani https://t.co/aeEFgibVhV pic.twitter.com/urHrtObkYv— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) February 12, 2017
Nobody is perfect, but nobody has to be stupid, greedy and indifferent.
