Will the far-left be screaming about this?

More than 40 years ago during the reign of the Shah Iranian women were free to wear what they liked.
Unhappy is the country that has old religious bigots in power.

er, constantly? Nobody's told me that for years. Some want to wear it, some don't. Used to be women working in the countryside just wore headscarves, but I don't know if that's still true. If you've become a fashion critic, perhaps you could help abbeyleigh occasionally?

Hopefully outsiders will keep a cool head while Iranians sort out their own problems.

\\The four major Sunni schools of thought (Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) hold by consensus that it is obligatory for women to cover their face and hair, and the entire body except her hands, while in the presence of people of the opposite sex other than close family members.//

webbo; Should you be trying to interfere with other countries' local customs? When's the last time you were told whose choice it was?

[andy-hughes]

I'm not sure about 'constantly', but I think your point may refer to Muslim women in the UK, where they are not legally compelled to wear a veil.

The same clearly cannot be said for strict Muslim countries, which is the link you have supplied.

Atheist.

\\British women should have the free right to chose how they dress.
This not about religious requirements but the freedom and right to chose.
Members of Parliament should not be debating a woman's choice of clothing.//

webbo; I don't understand your post. Your OP was about Iran. But your post above doesn't have a link I can connect to.

[Atheist]

webbo; where do you dig up old stuff like this; and why?

[webbo3]

Proving the point it's not really the womans choice, I wonder how many women would remove it in this country if they could.

[gulliver1]

Atheist I think the op is probably referring to when Boris compared muslim women to letterboxes.

[bobbinwales]

I know your wrong gulliver

[andy-hughes]

Webbo - It may not be the women's choice, bit since they don't live in the UK, there is little point in us debating the morality of the issue here.

[jno]

I used to work alongside a Muslim woman. I don't think she's ever worn a veil in her life; certainly not when we used to go to the pub for a G&T.

[Ellipsis]

Iran in misogyny shock horror ...

[gulliver1]

I can't see the point in this post.

[bazwillrun]

"I can't see the point in this post."

and that one post sums up everything youve ever posted...oh the irony...you really couldnt make that up....youve shot yourself in both feet through your kneecaps

Wearing the veil is absurd.

There was a brilliant stunt a few years ago in Australia where a girl went into a bank with a crash helmet on and was challenged, and at the same time a burka clad person went in and wasn’t challenged. To add the the deliciousness, the person in the burka was a man.

It was brilliant.
