Since when did America go into Iran and force our dress code on them? Impose our style of living on Iran? How?? America hasn't had any presence there since, oh, about the 1970s. Grow up already and stop being a petulant, indignant, sanctimonious jackass and try to say something relevant or just STFU already!!!

If these countries are so moral why is it countries like this who are behind so many kidnapping and sex-slave operations of our young women? Extremism is never good. Moderation. Unfortunately the US is extreme in the opposite direction and pretty much morally corrupt at this point!

It's not so much about o0ur forcing our views on Iran. It's about the religious/political leaders not giving their people a chance to choose how they want to dress. That would be like saying that all adult males in the U.S. must wear a threepiece business suit. That and the women must wear white blouses and skirts of a certain length.

Moral fiber or repression? Nobody should be able to dictate the things the islamic world tries to control.

Another Black Season

I'm thinking both Sol and Demeron are males, no female in their right mind would find this okay, only chauvinistic males would feel it's okay for the males there to keep the women down. How archaic!!

Your comments about Christianity not dictating what people should eat or wear etc., is not true.

In the Bible it actually says a woman should cover her head when praying, that her hair is her glory (leading some denominations to prevent their women from cutting their hair), not to eat certain foods from the sea, or with cloven hoofs & not to mix meats (ever have a combo pizza?) among many other things. We are also taught by the Bible that the body is a temple which some denominations take to mean that being overweight or having tattoos is sinful - yet many Christians just overlook these Biblical edicts and pick and choose which teachings they will adhere to. There are many more, but you get the gist - your comment is just way off the mark.

You are right, Islam is very oppressive. The people of Iran aren't ignorant to this; the situation is complicated by an unarmed population and a hired army under the mullahs. Here, have a look at the people protesting, and keep in mind how dangerous this is in this country. You could easily be raped, tortured, and lose your life for simply expressing these views.

Here, you can get a general idea of the horrendous nature of the Islamic fascist regime, and some idea of how scary life can be.

"Islam has a certain dress code that it adheres too." But it doesn't. These leaders aren't getting all this from the Koran. This is coming from centuries of repressive social tradition. People may try to use the Koran to justify their dictates, but if you look at the text it frequently isn't there to back them up.

What I don't like is that I strongly suspect the majority of people in Iran do not want these repressive rules but they are afraid of going against them (with very good reason.) It's one thing if the majority of citizens in Iran believed whole heartedly in these rules. That to me would be a different set of values that I would respect and leave alone.

A side note: it's sad to me that while Iran is banning curvy models because they are considered too sexy, American designers ban them because they think the ideal woman should have the body of a 12 year old boy.

Yeah, that's the answer isn't it. Let's destroy everything and every person we don't agree with. Grow up and consider being more diplomatic and less generalizing. A whole country of people doesn't deserve to get nuked just because they have SOME crazy people in it. There are crazy people everywhere. Should we just blow up the whole world and have done with it? Get real, get a life, think outside the box, etc.
