Kinder, Gentler Islamo-fascism!


What is written on the white-board behind revolutionary guard commander Talaii (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 antagonistice approach."

This is their attempt at a kinder, gentler Mullacracy!

Well, it's a start.

But seriously, it doesn't mean much for them to get kinder and gentler in this way, when their leader is threatening to nuke Israel.

there doesn't seem to be any mention of punishement if the police don't follow these instructions.

i guess they're just guidelines.

so if the hair is showing, and there are no spare scarves or scissors handy, then a smack in the head is still on the table.

Where exactly are the western feminist groups when it comes to this sort of thing?
