Another glimpse of life under the Sharia that radical Muslims are laboring to impose upon the world. From the BBC, with thanks to Sharon:
Iran’s morality police have made several raids in Tehran, in an apparent crackdown on women who flout the strict Islamic dress code.
Witnesses said dozens of young women were held in the raids on shopping centres and shops in the capital.
Police also confiscated several items of clothing deemed to be too revealing.
After winning parliamentary elections in February, hardliners warned they would not tolerate what they described as social corruption.
However, the clampdown could be the usual summer anti-vice operation, correspondents say.
Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran’s laws say all young women must wear the veil and a long coat that conceals their figures, or face fines or even imprisonment.
