Iranian Officials Ban Suntans - Threaten To Imprison Women Who Ignore Policy


Tehran, Iran (The Weekly Vice) – Iranian officials have announced that women who are caught with suntans may be arrested and imprisoned.

According to Tehran's police chief, Brig Hossein Sajedinia, a national crackdown on opposition sympathizers would also be extended to women who have been deemed to be violating the spirit of Islamic laws.

Iran has now warned suntanned women and girls who looked like "walking mannequins" with imprisonment as part of a new drive to enforce the Islamic dress code.

National law stipulates that women are required to wear headscarves and shape shrouding cloaks, however many women wear fashions that barely adhere to the regulations.

The announcement came just days after cleric Ayatollah Kazim Sadighi announced that promiscuously dressed women were the likely cause of deadly earthquakes, such as the devastating earthquake in Haiti earlier this year.

Sajedinia says they are not going to tolerate the situation and will first warn those found in this manner. Arrests will follow if the senseless tanning persists.

Modern jihad was founded by a an egyptian muslim who came to the states to go to college and witnessed social activities (dancing, hugging,drinking, dating, girls with make up) and said this is evil and must be vanquished. true story. Mind you this was the 60's. You know what it boils down to? Not getting laid. He was bald and very homely looking.

Obonzo doesn't want to outlaw tanning. He just wants to tax it.

Obonzo is discriminating against we pastey white people for wanting to tan. Who would of ever thought this would happen.
I was laying out in my yard just the other day and felt the earth tremor - now I so get it! I caused it.

And they call themselves men of God? I wonder what God they serve that would treat others this way. God is no respector of persons. These are just men who are full of hate. I suspect they are afraid of women. How sad, and pitiful these little men really are.

Muslims....do I need to say anything more?

If they adhere to the Islamic dress code, how would anyone know they are tanned???

And if they don't adhere to the dress code, tanning is the least of their worries. They might start an uprising and all Muslim women might fight back against gender bias laws!

All of the Iranian women I have ever seen were ALREADY BROWN!!!

For those who missed it, that's not a tan back in the picture above. These are whip lashings that made that tan color. Maybe Iran should also ban institutionalized beating up of women? Ha, I remember, Iran.

If you ever want to see the terrifying reality of life in Iran, I strongly suggest that you see the movie 'Not Without My Daughter', starring Sally Fields. Very Sobering!
