Hijab is Iran’s ‘Berlin Wall’ and with it will crumble puritanical tyranny

Firstpost  

The hijab for Muslim, Iran in particular, is the single most glaring infringement of one’s personality and totally undermines the principle of individuation New Delhi: The Berlin Wall when it came down signaled more than just the unification of a country divided along ideological lines, rather it became the tombstone of Communism as such, marking the beginning of what Samuel Huntington called ‘End of Ideology’ in his book ‘The Clash of Civilisations and the Remaking of World Order’. The hijab for Muslim, Iran in particular, is the single most glaring infringement of one’s personality and totally undermines the principle of individuation. Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad today posted a tweet referring to a previous video posted on Twitter wherein several Iranian women can be seen chucking the hijab and announcing their freedom. Its demolition will release from iron clutches of orthodoxy, fundamentalism and Islamic jihad millions of women, marking another ‘End of Ideology’ moment for the World; this time brutish Islamic law will be laid to rest, and with it religious strife and terrorism.
