Tehran, Iran, Sep. 06 – Women who violate Iran’s strict Islamic dress code will be flogged immediately, prosecutor’s offices in provincial centres announced on Tuesday.

In the central Iranian city of Shahin-Shahr, the prosecutor’s office posted huge notices on billboards and shop windows warning women that dress code violators will appear before an Islamic judge immediately after arrest to receive a sentence, usually 100 lashes in public. The prosecutor will be demanding maximum penalties, the notice warned.

“Individuals whose state of attire and make-up is against religious laws in public will be prosecuted without having to first wait in a queue and will be sentenced to flogging and fines”, the statement said.

“Scarves which do not cover the hair and neck”, “tight overcoats or coats that which finish above the knees and whose sleeves cover to a point higher than the wrist”, “tight trousers which do not cover the calf of the leg”, and “women’s make-up” are all forbidden, according to the statement, which added that failure to adhere to the dress code would be dealt with accordingly.

Women whose scarves do not properly cover up their hair will face between 10 days to 10 months in prison, the statement added.

Iranian ladies currently defy demands of the regime throughout Iran with very loose coverings. With the installation of a radical President there will be a mass crackdown in Iran.

In other news, Mullas have declared a fatwah on the sun for blocking out the beautiful crescent moon.

And, send more opium please---infidel!

[ncountylee]

Carefull what you wish for.

[wildcatf4f3]

yeah but they're so enlightened they have a woman vise-president,,,,I wonder if they'll flog her?

[SteveMcKing]

How long do we wait on Iran.

[clee1]

We need to air-drop 10 million pistols to women's groups in Iran.

THEY will then solve the azz-backward mullah's problems.

No one wished for the current President he was installed - Iran is a dictatorship.

"Iran to speed up flogging of women for “bad” veil"

Terrorism begins at home.

[Wooly]

They wouldn't do anything with them. The problem with the Arab countries is the populations are much to passive to do anything for themselves.

[PureSolace]

But a lot of Iranian chicks are hott! Don't make them cover their faces!

Women not being able to show their skin in public - liberal reaction - none. "It's a cultural thing and we have to be understanding of cultures..."

I wonder how they would act if they knew a woman was forbidden an abortion on demand however in Iran. Fashion they can understand, but non-participation in the culture of death?

Gonna have to try this on my liberal friends.

Iranians aren't Arabs. They're ethnic Persians and have no relation to Arabs. There is a strong prejudice between Arabs and Persians.

What do the leftist/feminists say about Arab women havin their clittorises cut off?

[Clemenza]

Agreed, speaking as one who was recently dumped by a hottie from Tehran.

[kingu]

What do the leftist/feminists say about Arab women havin their clittorises cut off?

They say that it is an urban legend and it doesn't really happen. And besides, who are we to be critical of another culture.. (yack, yack, yack..) Unless DailyKos has something different up today, and that instead is what they'll say.

"We need to air-drop 10 million pistols to women's groups in Iran. "

WE need to drop Hillary with a bullhorn.

[clee1]

That'd work.

It would send ME running for cover!

[Finalapproach29er]

Could the CIA snatch that crazy new leader and lash him in public?

Women who violate IRAQ's strict Islamic dress code will be flogged immediately, prosecutor’s offices in provincial centres announced on ...

That is what Iraq can expect with this new constitution that states that ISLAM IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF LAW and NO LAW WILL CONTRADICT ISLAM.

Even Iraq's own say the same thing:

Iraq's Prime Minister is Ibrahim al-Jaafari....
He is a Shiite and was previously one of the two vice-presidents of Iraq under the Iraqi Interim Government in 2004, and the main spokesman for the Islamic Dawa Party in Iraq
....... which is closely politically aligned with the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI)

......... a radical group that enjoys a close relationship with Iran's revolutionary Mullah regime.

Asked if his government would institute Islamic Shari'a law, al-Jaafari replied: "Yes … that is only natural in a country that is populated mainly by Muslims."

"This is a new chapter in relations with Iraq," enthused Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref during al-Jaafari's visit. Agha Panayi, an Iranian intelligence official, has offered a similarly enthusiastic assessment: "Throughout Iraq, the people we supported are in power."

Fighting for Freedom is what our Troops are doing, it shouldn't be Fighting for ISLAM.

Either the Iraqis come up with a constitution that does not have these Koranic veto clauses in it or they can fight it out by themselves. We haven't gone through all this to create another oil rich IRAN!

And exactly what will Iranian men do when their women are seized and flogged?
