A Kinder Gentler Iran?

The Autonomist found this interesting tid bit which first appeared at Iranian.com. Translation is provided by a friend of the Autonomist. The original is listed in the cartoon section, but this may be one of the very few times that "fake but accurate" applies.

What is written on the white-board behind revolutionary guard commanderTalaii (in larger black font) :

-If you see women with thick lipstick, don't use a razor blade to slash their faces (as has been permissible and very much done by the disciplinary forces patrolling the cities), use Kleenex.
-If you see too much makeup on women's faces, don't spray their faces with acid (as has been permissible and very much done by the disciplinary forces patrolling the cities), use rosewater.

If women are wearing too short of a dress, give them a free chador (veil).

If their scarves is too short, don't use the slogan of: "yaa roo sari, yaa too sari" (which means "either wear a scarf, or get smacked on the head" . . . this has been one of the regime's most disgusting comments to Iranians women since the very early days of the revolution).Either cover their entire hair or gently cut their hair off.

The caption, in the bottom of the photo reads: The head of the police force of Tehran said: "The Irshad (guidance) Patrols should not treat people with an antagonistic approach."

Perhaps we can learn a thing or two from our Iranian friends. Every time I look at Helen Thomas I wish someone would put a chador over her! And it would take a chisel to get the makeup off that harpie!


And as usual, the People's Cube, upon whom comrades and party members worldwide rely on for direction has come up with the solution: BURKA BARN! Your one stop shopping source for Islamic women's fashion.


Make sure you check out the link to the National Geographic story describing appropriate women's swim wear for Muslim Olympic competition (this, sadly, is NO JOKE). And you wondered why Muslim's don't win many medals?
