Kidnapped female British soldier coerced to wear headscarf and "apologise" to Iranians in video

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Thursday March 29, 2007 10:12author by Phil The Greek Report this post to the editors

Iranian propaganda highlights medieval Muslims attitudes to the rights of women.

Faye Turney, a married mother of a young daughter, serving in the British armed forces, was shown wearing a black headscarf as she was interviewed and forced to apologise for "aggression" against Iran. The sight of a non-muslim Western woman forced to submit to the misogynist Islamic headscarf demonstrates the bigotry of the Islamic government of Iran and echoes the forced "conversion" of an American reporter and cameraman to Islam when they were captured by Palestinian terrorists last year.
