Tehran, 3 Feb. (AKI) - Judicial authorities in the central Iranian city of Isfahan have announced that women state employees who fail to wear the Islamic hijab or head scarf, face lashing as punishment. Isfahan's director general for Judicial Authority, Mohammad Ansari, apparently wants to apply to the letter an article in Iran's penal code stipulating 74 lashes for women who do not dress according to Islamic law including wearing the chador, the black veil that covers women from head to toe.

Since Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election as Iranian president in June last year, pressure has increased on people to respect Islamic laws and morals. Many clothing shops have been subject to severe controls by the police, while the security staff at public buildings prevent women, who are not deemed to be dressed properly, from entering.

During the eight-year rule of Ahmadinejad's predecessor Mohammad Khatami, Islamic dress codes were not strictly enforced.

Seems I read someplace that 74 lashes often kills small people. Am I wrong?

face lashing as punishment

Without makeup?

[mikeybaby]

I think a suitable punishment would have required them to have sex with goats. Oh wait, that's what they get for a reward for permitted behavior.
Savages.

Horrorable!
You won't hear about these horrorable crimes against girls, and women in the N.O.W./Code Pink control-women studies in our U.S. colleges. The only thing they are concern about is destroying the eagle(U.S.A.) from within, using our tax money and gov't to promote hatred of God, Family, Males, Fathers, unborn ,and in doing so. They weaken our defenses and military.

Okay.

Coming soon to your nearest neighborhood if we continue to acquiesce to the Muslim religious and cultural demands in OUR society.

Psychostate.

My understanding is that 40 lashes is considered a death penalty.

[Buffettfan]

I predict that in the near future, Islam will have to be declared incompatible with western culture.

[cajungirl]

Sickening.

I don't understand the flippant remarks on this thread.

[Loud Mime]

Keep things in perspective. At least the women aren't drawing cartoons of islamic persons.

[DUMBGRUNT]

appeasement is not a future

Very good!

I think the only real solution is to eliminate the cult of mohammedism.
Anything else would be but a temporary fix.
There's is no way to avoid bloodshed on a massive scale but it need not require genocide.
All of the cult of death's "holy" places must be razed to the ground.
All traces of its existence destroyed.
The virus that is the koran should be made as difficult to find as an intelligent DUer.
Anyone preaching the cult or protesting against its destruction should be eliminated, not thrown in jail but killed outright.
The non-zealots when faced with the choice will choose life.
Open their world to the teachers of Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrism.
Give them spiritual options.

Cults can be destoyed.
At one time Mithraism was wide spread throughout the Roman Empire. Where is it now?
The ancient Egyptian religion lasted for millennia. Today, nowhere to be found.
It won't be PC and it won't be pretty but it can be done.

It sickens me not only to see the rest of the civilized world stand by as this type of activity takes place but also to hear world leaders praise Islam, a religion that will torture women because of their garb!!!
