Iran: President declares 5 August 'Islamic human rights day'
2008-07-24
Iran's Supreme Cultural Revolution Council headed by hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has declared 5 August an annual international Islamic human rights day.

The conservative-dominated council also nominated 12 July as an annual 'National Virtue Day for the Veil'.

The Islamic dress code requires Muslim women to cover their bodies from head to toe.

Iran's hardline authorities last year launched a crackdown on young men and women deemed to be wearing 'immoral' western-style dress, such as short coats and sleeves, jeans or sporting 'western' haircuts.

The Islamic moralisation campaign has also targeted satellite dish owners and alcohol consumption,as well as boutiques selling western food, western music, and dog-walking.

Dogs are banned from public places, as Islam considers them impure.

#9  OK, so they are going to allow Jews to worship, Christians to prosetlyze, and Buddhists to pray openly.

Oops sorry, I thought they meant REAL human rights, not the Animal Farm style ones.

#8  BH6, humans have many rights in an Islamic republic. Infidels, however, are not exactly human, so they have no rights. Women too, apparently.

#4  July 12, 1191 - Saladin's garrison surrenders, ending the two-year siege of Acre. Conrad of Montferrat, who has negotiated the surrender, raises the banners of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and of the Third Crusade leaders Richard I of England, Philip II of France, and Leopold V of Austria on the city's walls and towers.

#3  Dog-walking is wrong.

Wife-walking, however, is perfectly acceptable.
