In a thought-provoking art performance that took place on Saturday, August 5th, 2023, Iranian artist Firoozeh Bazrafkan orchestrated a profound act in front of the Iranian embassy in Denmark. The focal point of her performance was the deliberate shredding of the Quran, which she explained as a compelling commentary on the Iranian regime’s hypocritical demand for respect for the holy book—a demand fraught with double standards.
Firoozeh Bazrafkan, hailing from Iran, shared her motivation behind this daring artistic expression that could cost her life in Iran and put her at risk in the West. She expressed deep concern for her homeland, once a proud kingdom that shared many values with the West. However, Iran’s journey toward becoming a democratic nation was tragically interrupted when it fell under the brutal control of an Islamic clerical regime.
The Iranian artist passionately pointed out that while the Islamic regime demands respect for the Quran, it fails to show any respect for women’s rights. She boldly asserted that the regime uses the Quran to justify the oppression and physical and sexual abuse of millions of women within the country.
Elaborating on her performance, Firoozeh Bazrafkan underscored the paramount importance of free speech in challenging the mindless chants propagated by the clerical regime. According to her, the regime fears and perceives free speech as its most formidable enemy, further highlighting the significance of the ongoing struggle for human rights and democratic values in Iran.
Since the regime’s ascent to power in 1979, it has relentlessly suppressed and brutalized its people, with women bearing the brunt of the oppressive policies. However, in recent times, the people of Iran, especially women, have shown an unwavering determination to resist and fight against these oppressive forces.
Firoozeh Bazrafkan dedicated her performance to Iran’s courageous women and men who continue to defy the oppressive regime. Additionally, she extended her tribute to citizens and politicians worldwide who support the Iranian people’s quest for a dignified life. In her vision, this dignified life would encompass the freedom for individuals to express themselves, make their choices, and lead their lives according to their beliefs and aspirations.
The Iranian artist concluded by emphatically stating that respect cannot be claimed by those who trample on fundamental human rights, as the Iranian regime does. Her performance shed light on the dissonance between the regime’s demand for Quranic reverence and its denial of the fundamental liberties that should be afforded to all individuals, regardless of their gender or beliefs.
Firoozeh Bazrafkan’s art performance serves as a poignant and powerful reminder of the struggles faced by the people of Iran and the crucial importance of supporting their journey toward a more equitable and democratic society. As the performance resonates with audiences worldwide, it ignites conversations about the universal values of freedom, human rights, and the profound significance of self-expression in the relentless pursuit of a better future for all.
For Christ’s sake, they killed a young lady for not wearing her hijab properly. They shot birdshot shotgun pellets into the backs and chests of protesters. There are pictures too. I have known some decent Persians that I played futbol with Varsity soccer/futbol days, judo and kempo practice too. The hardliners are complete azzholes! She will probably be disappeared for shredding their holy book.
Good for her. I live in EU (frankistan to be exact) and I have to go on Rair to find this article.
She respectfully shredded the Koran. Ha!
BURN ALL QURANS IN CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES!
NO MOSQUES ALLOWED IN CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES.
ISLAM IS NO RELIGION!
“New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Saturday suggested that the riot involving thousands of young people that unfolded in Manhattan’s Union Square could have been driven by “outside agitators.” ”
“Mayor” aka IDIOT ERIC ADAMS IS THE BIGGEST AGITATOR AND THE MOST STINKY ROTTEN APPLE IN NEW YORK!
GET RID OF THAT BIDEN’S ASS LICKING SHIT MAN!
Excellent! Make it a summer BBQ tradition. If your islamophilic neighbors complain, tell them that what other religion sanctifies the murder of apostates, blasphemers, and female rape victims. ….or exhorts one to kill Christians and Jews…. and is as hokey and made-up??? Heck, they mixed up the names of the sainted parents of the Virgin Mary with the parents of Moses’ and Aaron’s sister, Miryam (a gap of 1600 years!). Also they culturally-misappropriated the sacrifice of Isaac and Abraham by shoving ISHMAEL into the picture and moving the event down to “Mecca”, a town that did not exist yet until about 400 AD (and it was an out-of -the-way desert town without much arable land or wells.) If “Ibrihim” was to have constructed the first Kaaba, why was it not mentioned in the Old or New Testament? Oh yes, Mo’ never made it to Jerusalem. Only in a dream…..which never counts!. HA HA!!
