As the protests in Iran continue, there's a trend of clerical "turban throwing" #عمامه_پرانی‌

Iranians are uploading videos of themselves knocking off or stealing a cleric's turban and (usually) running away.

(Song is Toomaj Salehi’s "Rathole")
#MahsaAmini

The video of the Iranian woman knocking a turban off has a lot of fan art #MahsaAmini #عمامه_پرانی‌

This meme says:

"Each turban has 6-11 meters of fabric. If you bring them with you, from each turban comes at least 20 Molotov cocktails." #MahsaAmini #عمامه_پرانی‌

There's now a Twitter spoof account for the "Iran (Turban) Throw Federation" @iatf_official

They have announced a contest with categories: Solo Dash... Formula 1 (Turban) Grab & Throw 😆

The Iran (Turban) Throw Foundation’s “International (Turban) Throw 2022” categorized by city 🙈#عمامه_پرانی #MahsaAmini

Protect your turban from coming off with the “Turban helmet”… Sold at a mosque near you. #عمامه_پرانی #MahsaAmini
