#AtheistRepublic

The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

In a historic move not seen before in the Islamic Republic of Iran's history, Grand Ayatollah Asadollah Bayat-Zanjani issued a fatwa, or religious decree, that declared self-defense against plainclothes officers of the regime is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims. Bayat-Zanjani, a senior theologian, writer, and Grand Marja of Islam, decreed his fatwa as Iran grapples with country-wide protests that erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini. This is particularly significant as Shia Islamic jurisprudence proclaims it a sin to fail to undertake a mandatory action as declared by a Marja, or "source of emulation." Iran's response has increasingly become brutal and even led to its lawmakers pressuring the judiciary to sentence thousands of protesters to death. The regime's crackdown has included wide use of police and military personnel in plainclothes, who are often indistinguishable from armed criminals and known to use indiscriminate violent force. The violent repression of the protests has resulted in the death of nearly 400 civilians since September 16th. The Islamic regime denied any involvement with these plainclothes assailants. When asked what a Muslim should do if an unknown person armed with firearms or other weapons attacks a Muslim, "Based on the assumptions presented by the question, a proportionate defense is mandatory," Bayat-Zanjani responded.
