Santisima Virgin of Guadalupe: We beg you for all the people who are sick of body or soul. Taslima Nasrin (born August 25, 1962) is a Bangladeshi-Swedish author, physician, and secular humanist known for her staunch feminism and criticism of Islam. Due to threats and fatwas stemming from her writings, she has lived in exile since 1994, having been banned from Bangladesh and faced restrictions in India. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVX3FVrFsb5/ By the way, in case you don’t know: The fighter pilots who ended Khamenei were all Israeli women. Appropriate that a monster who delighted in the rape and murder of innocent women for showing their hair or dancing or speaking out against oppression, was put down by 4 Israeli female fighter pilots. At least that’s a little bit of justice served. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVVip8SFli0/ London. Iranians and Jews dancing together. Women dancing. No hijabs. 😍 Cuba celebrating. They want freedom also. Exìled Iranians are celebrating the end of the terror regime. Paris
