Exiled from Iran, a beautiful Kurdish Iranian woman carries on

Now why on earth would a good Persian sitting in a coffee shop somewhere in Iran not want to listen to this lady’s music? Looking at her facebook page she’s rather nice to look at as well. So whatup?

Lets ask the old Satan-goober cleaner himself the Grand Ayatoollah Khomeini. For an answer, we will have to drop into the pits of hell to get a response.

Me: Hey old man?

Khomeini: Its hot in here. Help me.

Me: Shutup old man. You deserve what you got.

Khomeini: But…I’m ready to repay.

Me: Too late sparky. Oh snap, we’ll just have to get a replay of the movie of his life. Just one segment from 1979 will do:

Khomeini – “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”

What a maroon. Bet there’s no fun in hell either huh you old tryant?

Hani is her name. H/t Reza Kahlili’s Iran Update page.

From the article – In the Islamic Republic, a woman is typically not allowed to sing solos in public unless she performs for an all-female audience and is accompanied by an all-female band. Strict rules are in place for women singing to mixed-gender audiences. The reason, some conservative Muslims say, is that a woman’s voice can arouse improper sexual thoughts in men.

“For our people, it wasn’t tolerable for a woman to sing,” Hani says. “And when the most beautiful things, melodies and songs, are prohibited in a country, this means beauty is prohibited there.”

So in 2004, Hani fled her homeland, with one small suitcase and many big dreams. She flew to Germany and never returned. She soon began performing on TV and at international music festivals.Hani recently moved to Kurdistan, the semi-autonomous region in northern Iraq. Most people there are ethnic Kurds, like Hani, who sings in Kurdish. From Kurdistan’s capital, Erbil, it’s only a three-hour drive to the Iranian border.

But on this side of the border, Hani says, she feels free to make music — about earthly love and freedom, subjects typically scorned by Iran’s Islamic regime.

Ibrahim Salih, a manager at Kurdistan TV, says many Kurdish singers have come to northern Iraq from neighboring Syria, Turkey and Iran.
“Anyone who wants to come and sing, OK, you’re welcome [here],” Salih says. “You want to make concert? OK, you’re welcome. We have no problem.”

Gee I wonder why? It couldn’t be that Kurdistan is more secure than the rest of Iraq now could it? Nah. Oh but we need to give billions of dollars to the MB in Egypt and millions in aid to the Syrian rebels, Libyan rebels, PLA and Ham-a$$. But Kurdistan…Oh lets just forget about them… As Al Gore would say, “Salam alekum, Allahu Akbar and Death to America.” Right lefties?
