Role of the women in Iran

From:- American Thinker (29/6/2009)

Many were horrified at the murder of Neda Soltan, the beautiful young woman who was shot dead by the mullahs' thugs on a street in Tehran, but there have been many Neda Soltans. The most visible feature of this movement is the leadership role of the women in Iran. They are the heart, soul and fuel of this defiance in the face of crushing repression.

And while many protesters have been shouting "Allahu akbar," this doesn't in itself mean that they are fighting for more Shari'a. Many more have been shouting "Death to the dictator!" and "Freedom or death!" And this message appeared on Twitter Saturday:

"Why don't we Iranians just reject Islam and go back to what we were before Arabs forced this allah akbar thing on us?"
