Bros nobody is obliged to grant any useless interview likewise if she can't tie the head tie the interview is not important to her then she should move on with her fucking life. It's clear the Iran guy don't need her and her useless cnn interview so you Africans should stop using panadol for another person's headache.

There's nobody saying he's obligated to grant any interview. He agreed to the interview initially. No one forced him to.
He also has the right to change his mind.
What he doesn't have is the right to tell the journalist how to dress. That's nonsense. Moreso when he's in New York not Tehran.
The man is a closet jihadist and so is anyone supporting him.

SIRTee15:


Iranian President is not smart. Nobody cared about the CNN interview until the issue of amanpour wearing hijab came up.
Now global spotlight will now be on the ongoing protest in Iran where a woman was killed in police custody for not wearing hijab. Everybody will know about it and the negative impression of hijab as a tool of oppression will be globally reinforced.

Global spotlight on Iran has always been there... they dont care...its still better than the protests by his people...besides , what do they want?? So for their women to stop wearing Hijab?? Y force ur own belief on a country that have their practice... so they force Americans to stop their gay agenda??

fiizznation:
The requested interview was just a ploy to paint Iran bad amidst the hijab controversy going on in Iran. Of course she vividly know the Iranian president won't grant her request.

Is like you don't know this western reporters.

Women are protesting in Iran burning the hijab and other head scarves, in a supposed Islamic country, and you are here trying to sound more Islamic more than the Islamic people.

jagjag:


You lack sense alot, why is the Iranian President not respecting her own religion too. Must the religion of Iranian President only be respected? You are just a fool with not future direction

Calm down sir. Why the insults?

She asked for the interview. If she want one, then she should respect the man ways.

DonXavi:

our Nigeria Muslims can say the protest is caused by united state of America.

Beverlyjean:


Law that has been in existence for centuries...but the same usa are forcing LGBTA on people and children...y cant u guys open ur eyes for once ...

Oppressive laws existing for centuries doesn't make it right. Female circumcision was also a law that existed for centuries. May I asked if you're circumcised and if not, when?
Nobody is forcing LGBT on anyone. I've not heard you must have a female partner before you can enter the US

He is an idiot no apologies.... he did that to her because she is Iranian by birth.. but raised in the UK

He is stupid... no hard feeling... that means what they did to that girl in iran is true the lranian girl...

The senseless president just fell into the west trap... what is he going to say now...

D guy nah goat... some people dont have sense... devil leading his people astray... how in d word do these demons rule countries... eheeee...

God1000:
This is serious, so Iran's President didn't realize that he's in America for now.

I support Christiane Amanpour on this, I'm sure she will wear it if she travels to Iran for this interview, but this is USA na.

We've seen western female journalists covering their heads in the middle East because it is necessary to do so over there.

Again this is coming when women across Iran are protesting against the death of a 22 year old woman in the custody of morality police and with dozens of protesters killed already.

Even at that, what is in scarf must be worn, if not male chauvinism ingrained in Islam about an adult female must cover her body full, if not, she will sexually lure other males outside her husband to her?
Sticking to that scarf rule without asking why, amounts to zombiism in Islamic doctrines.

fiizznation:
Why schedule an interview with him when you know you won't put on a scarf? To score cheap political point or what? Just listen to the woman's defence? Talking as if the man forced her to wear a scarf.

Don't know why this crazy people derive some kind of joy in tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims in general. Must you interview him without a scarf? If he isn't going to be comfortable with you interviewing him with your hair opened, why persist in the first place?

I don't know what hijab did to some people. Is just a piece of cloth. Doesn't bite anybody. So why the noise about something that you won't wear and nobody is forcing you to wear it

Its obvious u r a Muslim. For God sake this woman is in the u.s he came to New York. So he can't come there to bend the law. What has looking at her hair got to do with the I interview? So he can't control himself? Make una dey deceive una sef there. After una go carry bomb dey blow una self up say na Mohammed una dey fight for. Mohammed no fit fight 4 himself Abi? What a primitive way.

lhordspy:
Just another plot to put the iranian in a bad light to the world. But the Iranian president is no coward like our African leaders that licks the feet of the Europeans.

Amanpour knows the iranian president so well, she knows he will never accept to that, so why schedule an interview with him when you know you can't dress according to the president's religious doctrine.

It was definitely planned either for clout-chasing, cheap attention seeking, or portraying the already battered image of the iranian president or iranians in general in a bad way right in the face of the world.


Thank God, Jesus wasnt around this time. This present day propaganda dishing set of medias would have made us believe he is bad just because he wont do to their bidding.


I think CNN, BBC and other european maintstream media are the problem of this world.

He knows their plan.. He stood his ground, he is not a coward like our african leaders that can be bully into submission. He should get a statue, he is a man after my heart, just next to vladmir Putin.

u are an idiot and slave to d Arab. Is the interview be taken in Iranian soil. This is US soil and an outsider is trying to dictate her dressing code. Why are u like this. Must u put religion on your head.

StrongAlphMale:
Amanpour did the right thing.

CNN should stop inviting terrorists to their tv station. E sure me die say that Iran president wan go organized his terrorist brothers wey go bomb CNN

Anything is possible o.

Is like you don't know this western reporters.

she has interviewed past iranian leaders without wearing head scarf. Always read before commenting

linearity:


You clearly did not read the details.

This was not part of the original plan when the interview was been scheduled and worked out.

The Iranian was terribly late to the interview, and he arrived he sent his subordinate to go ask her to wear a scarf and she refused.

He wanted to use her as a prop to the current protest taking place in Iran where a lady died in Police custody over loosely wearing her scarf.

If she is in the Middle East, she can wear scarf or if this has been brought up when scheduling the interview that would have been a different.

Respect of a person or religion is both way. Demanding that others do your bidding is not respect.

Alright sir.

But i think she who is demanding for the interview should have abide by the man's way. I just don't get what the fuse is all about. All this could have gone unnoticed and unknown to the world. CNN just looking for another propaganda means. And they got one.

My opinion sir.

Rubbish. When you go to Rome, you behave like the Romans. Why ask somekne to obey the laws of your country when the person isnt in your country?

Did u even read very well please do. She said she has interviewed many presidents and not one has asked her to cover her hair outside Iran. Shes not ignorant of the law. So before u start talking pls read well.

Oh my goodness. What is wrong with you people?

This is not a law but a doctrine... She wants the interview, she should abide by it for that moment.

The middle ages thrived better... now kids are disrespectful, they carry guns to kill other kids in schools ...kids now have rights to change their sex , the nuclear family system is gradually dying...people now celebrate divorce like they won a lottery ... these things don't happen easily in Islam

And you want people to live unhappily?

hisexcellency34:
Nice one Amanpour. To he'll with the head slammer

Can you say to his face coward? You go hide behind a useless damaged itel phone, dey heat up the polity. Go get a life. If them dey headslam, you get your own wey you dey do from clapping to bowing before the Mary statue etc which does not makes sense to others whose religious views differs from yours.
Respect divergent views and faiths, stop encouraging religious hatred and rancour.

I believe you didn't read the full content of the article. If this interview was meant to take place in Iran, just as she had been doing no one would remind her of wearing a scarf. She doesn't believe in his doctrine so why forcing it on her in her own land?
The interview centered on the correction of what that doctrine has caused the Iraians. No freedom to express themself. They literally live a remote life in this century.
Thumps up to Christaine Amaphour for standing tall irrespective of who's involved.

Beverlyjean:


But they force their beliefs on kids ...its an agenda....its just a matter of time

Let's assume they actually force their beliefs on kids. You are clearly against that.
Why then do you support the Iran president forcing his belief on an adult?

Kudos to her

osazsky:


u cant force ur religion on orthers...she is achristain..cheistains dont cover their hair..maybe the irranian presidend thought amapour was his wife...y did amapour not tell the stupid president to remove his cap cuz chrustain men dont wear cap in places of worship..the day muslims learn to tolorate orther religion ,the world will have peace

I'm lost. Is this the explanation? ... how she is protecting the women?

He only wants to practice his religion.

Unfortunately, Amanpour is not ready to copy Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ, meaning she is not ready to practice her proclaimed religion, which is Christianity.

blinking001:

Islam brings with it order in a society. If that is what Nigeria needs so be it

Like the order in Afghanistan abi
It's obvious you guys enjoy being terrorists

imam07:
are u human at all? Or u find it difficult to understand the post. Why will u dictate dressing code to someone in someone else soul. Abi u are out of your mind.

This calls for no argument, Iranian president declined the interview and amanpour declined the to wear it. Each goes their separate ways. No case!

Beverlyjean:
U called for an interview and he accepted and u want it on ur own terms , instead of his.. I will not blame the president...there's a tough situation in his country now concerning the hijab and CNN and Western media as usual wanna make it sensational... the women in his country are protesting and u want to interview him without a hijab so that the protest will now get out of control....Western media and manipulation

I swear u be idiot. Why will u be forcing someone else in another country to wear ijab. If u want to be slave to d Arabs. Go there nah. Is this not is causing bloody protest in Iran. Many Iranian have removed d ijab and here in US soil, u want to dictate someone else dressing code. You should be out of your mind

It's clear that you are more interested in talking than in listening.

IF you had bothered to even glance through the article you wouldn't have written half of the stuff you did.

I disdain people that write long epistles based just on a headline on Nairaland. It's mental laziness to go from reading headline to writing a long response.

A sensible person will read the write-up and only then write a response

The President was running late and THEN he sends a last minute message that she should cover her hair.

She is not in Iran, she is in America.

He has no right to ask her to wear headscarf in the US.

The headscarf law stands in Iran but you can't enforce that elsewhere.
