“In Full Support of this Godly Motion”
After angry protesters chanted against “immodesty” at the end of Friday Prayers, it was obvious that the Police was going to implement its harsh words against “improper public conduct”, as stated a short while ago. As the summer arrives, in the boiling and polluted city of Tehran, “the essentials of Islam” start shaking with the Iranian youth enjoying short-sleeves and clear scarves.
The Summer Veil Program has just started in Tehran. That means a few bad weeks for the Iranians before the Police realizes that they are just making people more enthusiastic in turning the streets of Iran into a fashion hall. Did you know that according to many visitors, Iranians always look like they are either coming from a party or going to one?
“Effective March 21st, women with improper cloths will be fined, News”, The old man:] “Try wearing proper cloths so that you are not fined…my pension is not that much, you know”.
why is it that it’s always the older and the least attractive women that are asking for everyone else to cover up?…never mind… i think i just answered my own question.
