“In Full Support of this Godly Motion”

After angry protesters chanted against “immodesty” at the end of Friday Prayers, it was obvious that the Police was going to implement its harsh words against “improper public conduct”, as stated a short while ago. As the summer arrives, in the boiling and polluted city of Tehran, “the essentials of Islam” start shaking with the Iranian youth enjoying short-sleeves and clear scarves.

The Summer Veil Program has just started in Tehran. That means a few bad weeks for the Iranians before the Police realizes that they are just making people more enthusiastic in turning the streets of Iran into a fashion hall. Did you know that according to many visitors, Iranians always look like they are either coming from a party or going to one?

“Effective March 21st, women with improper cloths will be fined, News”, The old man:] “Try wearing proper cloths so that you are not fined…my pension is not that much, you know”.

I was just reading a column by a UK journalist in Iran, who was commenting on how fashion concious the women of North Teheran were, despite the clothing restrictions. He described them as “as chic as any Parisian women, despite the restrictions”.

He also mentioned that the “annual purge” was more for show than effect, and once over, head scarves got pushed further back on the heads again.

I have noticed that a lot of the hard core chadoris are even more buttoned up than before. Look at that photo!

EB,
Let me tell you some thing, some of the police women many not even believe in veil, but this is a way to control the masses, as if, it is makes them confident ( the authorities i mean) that their rules are taken seriously and they haven’t lost the reins control.
