Tehran Police Chief Caught With 6 Prostitutes

March 13th, 2008Drima (Sudan)

What an effing hypocrite:

Tehran’s police chief, Reza Zarei, has been arrested after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, the Farda news website reported Wednesday.

Over the past year Zarei was in charge of enforcing the Islamic dress code on Iranian women with the purpose of “moralizing of the city.”

It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of behavior.

The immensity of this disgusts me but hardly surprises me. Are they gonna stone him to death? Lash his filthy butt? Oh yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen. You see, “Islamic” law is just a way to gain power, oppress people and hide behind a veil of piety.

Gosh, I need a glass of ice cold water. Muslim Heretics Conference anyone?

  1. Six prostitutes? He’s a ho!

  2. Oh no, let’s not jump to rash conclusions here!

    I’m sure he was just giving these women a lesson in avoiding temptation, or how to become good wives, or some other innocuous explanation.

    Besides, look at the source of the article – a Jewish newspaper! It’s a zionspiracy against us Muslims

  3. You should probably make it clear that you’re being sarcastic, Kawthar dear. I’m sure several people are going to come here, read your post, and go “jazaki allah alf khair! you are so right! JUSTICE FOR REZA!”

  4. @ Esra’a:

    Do you really think people are that unable to understand sarcasm? Many wont do I because they don’t want to, but not because they can’t.

  5. Do you really think people are that unable to understand sarcasm?

    Yeah I do think most won’t, because my own sarcasm was obviously overseen, too. Apparently we need sarcasm brackets in here.

  6. venom hitting the fan

    until i find a reliable source of this story other than the zionist Yediot Ahronot i will regard this story as another fantasy shared by the Zionist and their secular Arab comrades.

  7. See, Simon, now the above comment was not a sarcastic remark. Rather the mentality that Kawthar was mocking that is ever so prevalent in the Middle East. What a sad reality.

  8. Iranian police chief gets caught with hookers, blame the Zionists. Classic.

  9. I actually did see this story in Al-Arabiya and/or AKI, but when I went back to find the links, they weren’t there any more. I can’t find them using Google News search, either. Irritating and troubling.

  10. The news from AKI is copied here.

    And there’s tons of other coverage here.

  11. Reza and the NY governor can be good friends, they can share experiences.

  12. Were they male or female?

  13. Spanky, darling. First, I heard the news from my IRANIAN friends. Later I went online to double check if it’s true and found a few links. Understood?

    But hey, Iranians are Shiaa and we shouldn’t believe the EVIL EVIL Shiaa right?

    Ooooooo. The Persians are bad, very, very bad!!!

    patb,

    “Were they male or female?”

    LOL!

    the problem between Sunnis and Shia is between Sunnis and Shia and you have nothing to do with it.

    anyway, even if the story is true (search for the word “rumor” in Ynet article) there is a fact that the raid on the brothel was ordered by a top figure in the Islamic regime. this is how a democratic regime fight corruption, no?

    but still this story is a rumor and its primary source is a newspaper from a country which is considered a #1 enemy of Iran. it could be something like wartime propaganda.

    Actually, Drima is a Muslim, which means this problem directly concerns him and he will write about it however often he wants to without you being able to do anything about it. :)

  16. oh!

    sorry i didn’t see that…one minute, let me wear my eyeglasses, brb

    back, hmmmmmm…..i still can’t see it!

    anyway, it was just an advise for him not to waste his time. the Islamic awarness is increasing and the old game of divide and conquer (aka Operation : Ibn Salool Paws) won’t fool Muslims.

    i am a Sunni with a load of objections against many shia beliefs, but nothing will make me stand with a secularist or a Zionist against a shia who share the same fundamental beliefs in Islam with me.

  17. My first reaction: “whistle” theen totally LMAO and then wait 6?? WTF??
    and it was prolly in teh Jewish newspaper bcuz the ’spies’ got it first b4 the reports .. :P

    Reza and the NY governor can be good friends, they can share experiences.

    :P
    maybe there would b a group in FB : “Officials caught with..” only accessible in teh ‘Prison’ Network

    and Sunni Shia Muslim Christian has nothing to do w/ it..

    Were they male or female?

    LOL

  18. i am a Sunni with a load of objections against many shia beliefs, but nothing will make me stand with a secularist or a Zionist against a shia who share the same fundamental beliefs in Islam with me.

    Hypocrisy at its finest.

    So you better pray that the “Zionists” are always here, because when they’re gone, we’ll start killing off each other in true Islamic fashion. Yay!

  19. I’ve never heared about this story in Iran! Its strange! No one here also heared about! I think its another conspiracy against Islam and Iran that just proposed by Zionists!

    damn this is the 2nd time I heard this, this week

  21. Excuse me Muneeb, I did not write that. Quote the right sources please.

  22. Its hard to make a conclusion about this news! cuz no reliable Persian media coveraged even changing of Tehran Police Chief. Just a student related website (AmirKabir News) has expressed in persian media as source of news!
    But everything can be possible! We should wait and see what will happen!

  23. the first source which published the whole ‘rumor’ (though seems true) was peiknet.com, which is an ultra-dissident site that bears a background of both shedding light on some dark corners of IRI as well as spreading make-believes. this site states that “Iran’s head of judiciary system” directly ordered the arrest, though they are to keep the event silent and secret till the election is done. in addition, judiciary system spokesman said in his media briefing that “there is a file about a high ranking police officer, though it is supposed to be kept secret during the primary investigations”.

    and dont worry… the whores were female, as the peiknet.com reported!

  24. No Zionists here; It was Reza alone! ;) It seems to be a true story. The more I surf the net, the more I believe!
    Who knows, maybe Reza Zarei had payed the whores (Sigheh) ;) But It wasnt his first time, he was into this attitude.

    In persian: http://www.7tir.com/news/index.php/738/

  25. If the rumours are indeed true, I wonder whether they would apply the “sharia” ruling on him.

    I’m certain the women he was with though would have to bear the punishment

  26. Thanks for confirming, Mohammad and Lord Kavi.

  27. i wonder if the whores were not female, we would be encouraged to sign a petition to support Mr Zareei’s gay rights!

  28. Kawthar:

    I’m certain the women he was with though would have to bear the punishment

    what you predict is sound and probable: the man is a powerful figure while the women are some poor whore who have to bear the burden of punishment.

    what actually happens, however, often follows a wierd scenario: its very probable that this police officer was not the only customer of the mentioned whores, for such high-class call girls usually serve a wide range of high-ranking customers; and these smart high-class girls usually gather an intersting library of photos and videos of their famous customers so as to use it as a protective shield in the case of danger… “they usually know the sizes, customs and favorite positions of so many officers”… then, when one of these customers is caught, the whore is usually the only one who finds a way out of the case… maybe by remembring the judge that there are some photos of himself as well, either in the caught mistress’s library, or in the archive of “another friend”!

  29. Mohammad Dear,
    What a good information with tiny details on this topic you’ve got ;)

  30. telling the truth, all the truth, and nothing but the truth:

    I swear to God that I was not involved in this case, neither as the customer nor as the provider; and of course I’m a translator not a pimp ;)

  31. Mohammad,
    I believe in you man, no need for confession;I was just kidding ;)

  32. “Tehran Police Chief Caught With 6 Prostitutes”

    Please allow me to rephrase this completely unjust title, How about “Corrupted Unqualified Tehran Police Chief is Finally Caught with 6 Prostitutes”? I don’t think that it matters weather this person is Shia or Sunni. What matters the most is that the system that somehow this person managed to fool with to go up the ladder is finally caught and possibly headed to a trial by that very same system.

    Additionally, I don’t think that the “former” police chief represents Islam here, neither Shia nor Sunni in one way or the other. It is pointless to discuss his ethnic background or his religious beliefs (as if he’s got any)

    On a side note, I also think that it will be extremely funny and hilarious to be caught by your own subordinates. :D

  33. so, is he married? If not, then, well, what goes on between a small crowd of consenting adults…
    Isn’t it interesting how, time and time again, those who wrap moral righteousness around themselves and lord it over everyone else seem to get caught with their pants absent doing stuff that they punish other folks for. I guess being a guardian for virtue makes a man have needs (apparently a half dozen).
    I certainly hope the women aren’t punished over this. Girls do not grow up dreaming of being a hooker.

  34. Very well said, Eric.

  35. Lucky bastard…

  36. i am a Sunni with a load of objections against many shia beliefs, but nothing will make me stand with a secularist or a Zionist against a shia who share the same fundamental beliefs in Islam with me.

    Didn’t you know that Shi’ism was created by a Yemeni Jew named Abdullah ibn Saba?

    But you’ll stand with the Taliban for killing Shi’as, right?

  37. Danial:

    Didn’t you know that Shi’ism was created by a Yemeni Jew named Abdullah ibn Saba?

    common myth.

  38. In The New York Times today (Week in Review page 2, not sure of the online link) there is an article comparing Reza Zarei with former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, the mayor of Detroit, the mayor of Newark and a former Ohio prosecutor, all of whom broke the law and took advantage of their public office for private profit, financial or amorous.

    Re: Zarei and Spitzer, for those looking for new ways to encourage dialogue between the Western and Muslim worlds, perhaps they could start a sex addicts anonymous club for these “gentlemen.”

    And Eric, while I agree with your comment

    I certainly hope the women aren’t punished over this. Girls do not grow up dreaming of being a hooker.

    I’m not sure what the chances are that anyone in Iranian law enforcement will agree.

  39. Mohammed, I know. I was being sarcastic.

  40. Aha!

  41. I’m not surprised; the trash must be Shia. If they can believe in Mu’ta (’temporary’ marriage)then this really is nothing.

  42. MIB:

    for Shia, Temporaray Marriage is bound to several rules which make it far different from Prostitution, most notable one of which is that the woman who engages into Temporary Marriage is not allowed to engage to a new man untill 3 months after the first marriage finishes.

  43. good very good—i hope they cut off the bastard’s dick

  44. Apparently, he has been arrested

  45. A simple lesson in history, shows us why the fuss on covering up women with burkas. It’s this thing, that SUSANA has with incest.

    BUT better, ARE THE PHOTOS/FILM OF THE CENTRAL PRESIDENT DESTROYNG YOUNG FILIPINOS AND DISPOSING OF THEM IN THE UNDERGROUND TUNNELS ENRICHING ??????????

    SHAME WHEN MRS. AHMADMAN’S OLD LADY CATHCHES WIND, AND SAYS, “OFF WITH HIS HEAD>>>”
