Iran Denies Jewish Badge
| Permalink | |
From Bloomberg.com May 20 2006:
Iran denied a report that it passed a law that would force non-Muslims in the Islamic Republic to wear colored labels identifying their religion.
The Canadian National Post yesterday reported Iran's parliament passed a law last week for a public dress code that would require Jews to wear a yellow strip of cloth on their clothing, Christians a red one, and Zoroastrians blue. [...]

Last month Iranian Fashion Police began a new crackdown on loose dressed women: [Apr 22 2006] The police are set to begin a strict crackdown today on women flouting Islamic dress codes. "In accordance with the law, the police will confront those who appear in public in an indecent and inappropriate way," the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Tehran's police chief, Morteza Talaei, as saying.
One of those undoings was a bill passed by Iran's Parliament on May 14 to promote "an Iranian and Islamic style of dress for women". Everyone, including non-Muslims would have to comply.

Laleh Eftekhari a female MP said here on May 14.This clothing design regime will extend to the whole of Iranian culture including television and commerce:Laleh Eftekhari, one of the 12 female MPs in the 290-seat conservative-controlled assembly explained that young people's clothing does not reflect their Islamic and Iranian identity. It is an expression of foreign views.

Every post-pubescent female in Iran, regardless of her nationality or religion, is obliged to observe the Islamic dress code and cover her shape and hair whenever outside the home - preferably in black.Although most Iranian women do abide by the rules, in many cities headscarves have been slipping, trouser hems rising and coats tightening. Ayatollah Khamenei voiced alarm over this state of affairs two years ago.
Deputies in Iran’s conservative-run parliament have begun preparing designs for what will be a new national costume aimed at stemming the encroachment of Western fashion.
Rest of Story
As per Article 4 of the plan which was endorsed by 137 votes, Iranian and Islamic clothing designs will be included in laws pertaining to industrial property and patent registration.Iranian and Islamic clothing designs will be included in laws pertaining to industrial property and patent registration.
