Iranian motorists are increasingly being summoned to the offices of the morality police, known as the Hijab Watch, for violating the law that requires women to wear a veil in public.

The growing trend is also targeting Iranian men who have been seen driving with female passengers not wearing the hijab, or who had their cars used by unveiled female relatives, as the men of the family are also expected to help enforce the law.

From East to West, war on the hijab reveals gendered Islamophobia Read More » The initiative has seen mounting frustration among Iranians already under pressure from a crippling economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic. It has also been criticised for making mistakes and wasting people's time.

After receiving a text message, the driver or owner of the vehicle has 10 days in which to report to the morality police, and sign a letter committing not to violate hijab rules again. If the driver ignores the text, his or her car can be impounded. Similarly, if those who sign the letter are spotted breaking their commitment, their cars can also be impounded.

Funny how a hijab and masks look eerily similar when i look in the mirror. We can’t ever be free again.

Guess Iran has their “Karens” as well.

Is there a very descriptive Iranian word meaning Karen?

Biden getting his inspiration from Iran.

If Biden somehow cheats his way into office, guess there will a massive Truckers Strike as OTR truck drivers refuse to drive while wearing a face diaper.

* Biden will mandate a mask be worn on all federal highways if elected.

If that’s what you choose.-

I’ve not worn a mask more than 3 times since March, I think.

All 3 times I wore it into a store and when I saw no one else was wearing them, I took it off.

Then I came to my senses and said this is absurd.

I’ll take the fine or whatever.

I was in a projects building in the elevator with a cop and I didn’t have it on and he didn’t say a word.

That was in Brooklyn.

Even the cops can’t be bothered anymore

We need to run DNA tests to see if somehow we are related.
