Tehran, Iran – Iran has relaunched patrols by the so-called morality police as authorities escalate their efforts to enforce the country’s mandatory hijab rules.

Saeid Montazeralmahdi, the spokesperson for the Iranian law enforcement force, confirmed on Sunday that police patrols were now operational on foot and with vehicles to crack down on people whose covering is not deemed appropriate in the Islamic Republic.

      It’s not liking it or disliking it. It’s allowing people to practice it who want to practice it. And a large number of people who practice it don’t follow these extremes.

      You don’t need to like what people are doing to allow them to do it. It’s part of what you learn when you grow up.

          I agree with you the Muslim religion actually calls for the death of non believers they are not the religion of peace.

          Also just look how Iran uses it. Of course I would say the same for the christian extremists who want to do the same thing here in our country.

      It doesn’t.

      More often than not, you’ll find people on the left hate religious nationalism. This goes for Jews in Israel as well as Muslims in Iran.

      Because it isn’t western cristianity and/or capitalism. No questioning what power structures comes with it, no questioning of its moralities and ethics. But there are some good things in Islam, just as there are good things in any organized religion. Negatives outweigh however, as the negatives in any organized religion outweigh the positives. Especially in proselytizing religions.
