Iran may force badges on Jews, Christians TEHRAN, May 19 (UPI) -- Iran's parliament passed a new law this week that would force the country's Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear color-coded ID badges.
Iranian expatriates confirmed reports the Iranian parliament, or majlis, has approved a law that would require non-Muslims to adhere to a dress code which mandates they wear "standard Islamic garments," according to Canada's National Post.
The roughly 25,000 Jews living in the Islamic Republic would have to attach a yellow strip of cloth to their clothing, Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would wear blue ones.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader and highest authority, must approve the law for it to take effect.
"This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, head of the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."
The Weisenthal Center has written to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to call on the international community to pressure Iran into abandoning the measure.
"There's no reason to believe they won't pass this," Hier told the Post. "It will certainly pass unless there's some sort of international outcry over this."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejan has publicly called for Israel to be "wiped off the map." The West believes Tehran is secretly and illegally using its nuclear energy program to develop a weapon, a claim Iran denies.
I am sure Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid will say this is America and GW Bush's fault.
Idiots; every Democrat Senator is an idiot.
The UN will now hold an emergency meeting to seek out ways to blame this on George Bush and 'the Zionist entity'.
Oh that's just too horrid. Where are the airlifts, and what have we learned from history?
Are the Liberals defending Ahmandinijad position. I have heard very little from them regarding the situation...In my opinion any Jewish person that votes for a liberal might as well be signing the death warrant of Israel....
These are the people we're dealing with. The Nazis reborn in different dress.
It is all the Christians and Jews fault. If they were not Christians or Jews, they would not have to wear badges.

"This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, head of the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."
With all due respect to the Rabbi, the statement is weak. They are indeed already there.
Iran's regime needs to disappear. No Nueremberg, no Versailles, just excise the tumor and incinerate it. Right Freeking NOW!
Well, it's a short walk.
Dear People of Iran,
Destroy your leaders or we will do it for you.
We've seen this before. I doubt the liberals will say a word about it.
You beat me to it!
I wonder how long before they're forced to take a "shower".
Time to stop using oil. We need to cut this area of the world off without a dime. And no foreign aid to nazis or their supporters.
I say the this President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad needs a badge........... a bullet in his bizarre head............... for the betterment of the entire world.
Well they did do a study on the Holocaust to determine if it was in deed historically true and this is what they learned.
And Coffee Anan will write a strong letter to Iran saying that this is a very,very bad,not nice thing to do.
I'm not called Red Badger for nothing!............
