Crackdown in Iran over Islamic dress codes during Ahmadinejads Regime

During Mahmoud Ahmadinejads regime thousands of Iranian women have been cautioned over their poor Islamic dress known as "bad hijab" and several hundred arrested.

The police have been stopping pedestrians and even cars - warning female drivers not to show any hair - and impounding the vehicles and arresting the women if they argue back.

Middle-aged women, foreign tourists and journalists have all been harassed, not just the young and fashionably dressed.

Hard-won freedoms - like the right to wear a colourful headscarf - have been snatched away.

It may sound trivial but Iranian women have found ways of expressing their individuality and returning to drab colours like black, grey and dark blue is not something they will accept easily.

If we want to do something we will do it anyway, all this is total nonsense," says a young girl, heavily made up and dressed up.

She believes Islamic dress should be something personal - whether you're swathed in a black chador or dressed in what she calls "more normal clothes".

Interestingly many women who choose to wear the all enveloping chador agree - saying it's a personal choice and shouldn't be forced on people.

lol funny how muslims want to blame jews for everything. YOUR Islamic fundamentalists are the ones doing this, not the jews. Boy am I glad I live in a free country, if I lived there I would wanna kill myself. A life without freedom, isn't a life worth living.

@GodisHEM What in the hell? Can anyone follow this logic? How did the Jews make this happen? Islam made this happen. Pure, hardcore, desert totalitarianism. And the Jews did that? WTF?

@GodisHEM What you have written doesn't even make sense [literally, the words are gibberish]...

Virgin Mary wore a veil because jews made Mary Magdalene a whore

in blood shed that is what they want to separate all Persians and they succeeded

Mullahs and their Talibans are Jews that convert and claim God and pay your extemist. Also Iran your tea Cartel is by Persian Jews that buy from British Jews

all the enemies of the world are those who kill for God as Pagans.
