Iran has laws in the pipeline that promise to make life in the country even more difficult. One such piece of legislation aims to impose a “standard Islamic garment” on all Iranians, meaning that Iranians will no longer be able to dress as they wish.
There is an even more difficult to understand addition to the restriction: The colours of the projected “uniforms” are limited to sombre hues. As if life were so rosy for them!
This new regimentation in the lifestyle of Iranians is supposed to apply even to children as young as four! It doesn’t make for a very mind-stimulating environment, nor for desire to stand out even if, at this age, only through the choice of colour for the garb.
The other piece of legislation aims to make it compulsory for non-Muslims in Iran to wear insignias on their clothing that identify them as Christians, Jews or followers of whatever other religion. The Christian would wear a red badge, while the Jews would have to wear a yellow sign.
Obviously these projected laws are causing a worldwide uproar even before they pass through the legislative process and become enacted. They would undoubtedly take Iran back to the dark ages and do nothing to help the image of Islam, nowadays under assault.
Islam is an enlightened religion that brought progress to Muslims everywhere. Why would a regime that claims to strictly follow the tenets of this religion want to portray it in such a negative light?
At the rate things are going, Iranians will have not only their mind and thoughts controlled, but also what they wear and eat regulated.
It is an affront to the pious that all these regressive and repressive steps are purportedly being taken in the name of Islam.
The Iranian regime must be aware that it is bound by international norms to respect the rights of the people in the country. And it is simply unacceptable to discriminate between people on the basis of religion.
Marking Christians and Jews by having them wear badges is a clear act of discrimination bearing the ominous hue of the dark days of World War II. Neither Islam nor international standards tolerate this kind of behaviour.
The Iranian government under Prime Minister Mahmoud Ahmadinejad needs to reflect more before it puts into effect these draconian laws, especially when they run counter to Islam.
Learning the ways of the Force I see.
Well, the whole world will rejoice, once it is eliminated! Other than that nothing positive!
Excellent. What I want for Iranians is what majority of Iranians want: more islam. They should have 24/7 islam, with survelliance cameras in every home to enforce it everyplace, all the time.
looks like a doctored photo. Anyway, what's the big deal. Hitler's played ethnic hatreds against each other in the Balkans, to further his own goals. Meanwhile, our own leadership can't even figure out a hutu from a tutu.
If ever there was a country that desperately needed to be overthrown from the inside, it's Iran......
When the people rise up and leave the mullah islamonazis swinging from the El-train tracks, alot of the problems we have with them on a foreign policy level will cease.
they already do. Mohammad didn't like dogs, so there's a lot of dog discrimination in islamic countries. Just goes to show you how retarded they are, what kind of dirtball wouldn't love man's best friend?
Doc
Oh yeah, has to be, whoever heard of a muslim nazi?
Thanks Alouette!
Maybe it's because Mohammed preferred cats.
The one with Hitler still looks like a doctored photo. Do you have a better quality one? Not saying Hitler didn't think Moslems could be used to further his political aims, just saying the particular photo you posted looks phony.
The most famous story about Muezza recounts how the call to prayer was given, and as Muhammad went to put on one of his robes, he found his cat sleeping on one of the sleeves, and instead of disturbing the cat he cut off the sleeve and let him sleep
Why did the dumb Profet have only one sleeve on his prayer bathrobe? Cos his cat was sleepin on the other sleeve.
ba-da-bum
Mo left his robes on the floor for the cat to shed on. What a slob!
