A woman was killed by the morality police for not wearing her hijab. Where in the Koran does it say that the punishment for not wearing the hijab is death?

The reason women are protesting in Iran is not because they hate Islam. They’re protesting against an unaccountable and corrupt dictatorship which acts only in its own interests, not in the interest of upholding a fair and just Islamic society.

I thought it’s not clear how she died… it’s really muddled. Clearly Iran leadership has many problems but maybe this is more a powder keg… anyways if you saw videos of Iran you’d see hijab rules were usually lenient at least in urban places it seemed.
