Iran police warn 122,000 over unIslamic dress

Here's a glimpse of what life will be like in Europe in a few decades. From Reuters (thanks to Kemaste):

TEHERAN - Iranian police have warned 122,000 people, mostly women, about flouting strict Islamic dress codes since April and nearly 7,000 of those attended classes on respecting the rules, a newspaper said on Thursday.

Such crackdowns, on the women as well as on men deemed to have haircuts considered too Westernised, are an annual event and usually last a few weeks. But this year’s measures have been longer and more severe than in recent years.

Some government critics see the crackdown as part of broader measures to quash dissent in the media and other areas. Others see it as part of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s efforts to revive values from the early days after the 1979 revolution.

“Since the beginning of the crackdown from Ordibehesht (the Iranian month that started in April), 122,000 people have been given a warning for improper dress and 6,947 of them have taken part in guidance classes,” the daily Jomhuri-ye Islami reported.

Some women, particularly in cities during the hot summer months, test the boundaries of the dress codes requiring a woman’s hair to be covered and the shape of her body to disguised by a loose coat by wearing skimpier outfits.

yep...the Ayatollah Khomeini took over, and Dhimmi Carter introduced himself (after all, Dhimmi Carter never met a terrorist he did not like)...Hi Y'all, My name is Jimmy....

....and on an interview just yesterday, I heard Jimmy, the Dhimmi was asked "If you had the same Iranian situation today as you did in 1979, how would you handle it?"...


...and Jimmy , the DHimmi replied, " I'd negotiate."......

and he may wonder why he qualified for dhimmi of the year....

...and still does not understand that is why the Muslims snubbed his nose in the dirt and the embassy captives were held over 400 days....

" and 6,947 of them have taken part in guidance classes,”

....usually involving canings, some beatings, a lot of political indoctrination and a stern warning never to do it again....

How would an all-powerfull deity have the time to worry about fashion? Won't you be too busy re-ordering the cosmos? Or doing something Godly? Feed the hungry? Heal the sick? Make sure gravity is still working?

I think I'm going to start manufacturing flexible little canes.

With a crescent and star burned into the top.

20 euros per.
