McRage II: Police Close Popular Fast-Food Restaurants in Iran
2003-12-05
EFL & FUN

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Police have shut down four of the Iranian capital’s Western-style fast-food restaurants, popular with youngsters as meeting places to mingle with the opposite sex, in an apparent crackdown on un-Islamic behavior.
Later, Police were seen reopening the restaurants and letting all the men back in for some ‘bonding’.
Restaurant owners said the closures were ordered 12 days ago by a branch of the religious police notorious for closing down shops and eating places deemed to have contravened the Islamic Republic’s strict moral code.
No wonder so many young Arab men are angry. They can’t even hang out with the ladies for a chat and pop.
Bored teenagers, officially prohibited from socializing with unrelated members of the opposite sex, pack into brightly lit eateries and coffee shops in the evenings and at weekends to subtly flirt over a burger or a coke.
‘The Islamic Republic’s strict moral code’: Eeeew girls are icky and dirty. They have cooties!
Young women, in particular, have incurred the wrath of hardline asshats authorities by wearing make-up, short coats and colorful scarves pushed back to expose as much hair as possible instead of the head-to-toe black chadors deemed necessary by the country’s ruling clerics to protect a woman’s modesty.
And thank goodness for that! Don’t want them cooties spreading.

#5  The Persian Shi'a have all of the same BS of the Sunnis regards that evil minglin' and firtin' and eye battin' stuff. As for modesty, the Black Hats themselves wouldn't know it if it jumped up and bit them on their extremely tiny leetle-beety dicks.

So, in this issue, the difference between Persian Shi'a and Arab whatevers is so small as to make no odds. ;-)

#4  The Iranian boys (Persians, whtever) should instead be following the long established traditions of their ancestors and hang out in male brothels instead, where they could productively spend their time putting it to the 13 old boys that have been abducted and sold there
