A viral video captured by an Egyptian traveler lays bare the true state of Ramadan in Iran. With the Islamic regime imposing strict Sharia, the religious and moral codes inspired by the Quran seem to be stifling modern Iranians. Instead of unwavering adherence to the fasting rituals during this Muslim holy month, videos from Iran expose the complete rejection of Ramadan in Iran. Let’s understand this strange reality of Islamic Iran.
Ramadan Rejection: Defiance For Cultural Evolution?

The viral video by an Egyptian traveler exposes a brewing defiance in Iran. Revolting against the traditional Islamic doctrine, the video footage reveals how food was served on the streets and in trains. The clip shows the youth of Iran smoking cigarettes and enjoying celebrations that honor its Parsi past. All of these real-life scenes reject the strict rules imposed by the regime. It also shows people that modern Iran is more Persian than Islamic!
Contrary to the fasting regulations prescribed by religious authorities, Iranians choose to openly eat, drink coffee, etc. during Ramadan. This blatant disregard for Muslim religious precepts signals a seismic shift in societal norms and values. These actions recorded in the viral video serve as a poignant reminder of the growing discontent among Iranians regarding the imposition of strict religious laws. By openly flouting Ramadan fasting rules, these individuals are not only challenging religious orthodoxy but also asserting their right to personal freedom and autonomy.
Iran’s Dilemma: Compulsory Hijab, Closed Mosques
Iran, known for its stringent enforcement of religious laws, repeatedly makes headlines for its conservative attitude! The nation’s religious leaders form its political regime. However, despite its Sharia, the nation observed a closure of over 50,000 mosques last year! Thus, the nation finds itself at a crossroads where the last 5 decades of strict Islamic existence is rejected by its people. This rejection has given birth to this controversial disobedience to Ramadan observance.
Moreover, the women in Iran continue to reject the compulsory hijab law. Their movement for their personal freedom faces harsh crackdowns from the nation’s moral police. Every month we hear of death or injury caused by the rejection the Sharia perception of the Hijab! Additionally, videos of the Nowruz celebration by Iranians was another act of defiance against the Islamic regime. It honored the civilizational identity of Iran, before it was converted to Islam. Thus, the people of Iran are showing their leaders in every way that they are ready for a change.
‘Sharia-compliant Iran‘ is no longer the dream of Iranian people. However, is Iran’s leadership ready to face these demands by its people? Will the religious leaders honor the public’s demand and peddle back its Islamic hardliner rules? Not likely. It would probably take a bloody revolution to bring about this change.
The Global Ramifications to Iranians’ Bold Rejection

The West is inundated with immigrants from Islamic nations. These Muslims refuse to integrate with the people of the EU and USA. Thus, everyday social media platforms show violence in the name of Islam in the West. The latest nail in the coffin are the videos where Muslims shame Christians for eating during Ramadan. They even object to Christian eating in designated staff rooms or even buses. They call them ‘Kufr’ or ‘Kafir’ to demote their existence to that of a non-believer.

Thus, the Muslims in the EU and the West display mounting religious intolerance during Ramadan. In Bharat, these same Islamists put on a display of violence, riots, and rape crimes. Thus, the Iranians’ bold rejection of fasting norms should send shockwaves across these orthodox Muslims’ world. The educated and sane people of Iran reject its Sharia and its unnatural norms.
The emergence of this viral video serves as a wake-up call to Ismalists and their supporters. The Sharia is not a beautiful utopia they imagine. Iranians’ public defiance is proof of how such strict Islamic dogmas are unhealthy and unacceptable to all thinking humans. In a nation where religious dictates have long held sway over public life, the defiance witnessed during Ramadan signifies a burgeoning desire for societal change and individual autonomy. As Iranians navigate their transition, the world’s radical Muslims and Islamists should watch closely and learn from their errors. After all, one who learns from others’ faults is a wise man!
