Heretic barber shop

Police have arrested 49 people this week in a northern Iranian city during a crackdown on “satanic” clothes.

Police confronted rascals and thugs who appeared in public wearing satanic fashions and unsuitable clothing,” Qaemshahr city police commander Mahmoud Rahmani told IRNA.

Rahmani also said that five barber shops were shut and 20 more warned for “promoting Western hairstyles…”

“Some individuals, not knowing what culture they are imitating, put on clothing that was designed by the enemies of this country,” Rahmani said.

“The enemies of this country are trying to divert our youth and breed them the way they want and deprive them of a healthy life,” he added.

Good thing we don’t face laws in the United States drawn up by religious nutballs. Oh.

    Well, I’ve always been against thugs. It’s about time there was a crack-down on rascals.

    Now we just have to go after those darn teenagers that I’m always shaking my fist at – with their rock-and-roll and their hippity-hop!!

    Please follow along:

    – Every religion preaches, and it’s followers believe, that they know God’s truth. Otherwise, how could they believe in it?

    – It is God! No person, law, custom, or even the US Constitution can outrank God. IT IS GOD!

    – Religious believers know what their God wants them to do!

    – What could be more important than obeying God? IT IS GOD!

    – Give any religion – or any group of religions – any political power whatsoever, and freedom suffers. It is inevitable.

    – Tolerance is a revocable “gift” to the objectionable. *see definition below

    – Only the strictest separation of religion and government can protect against religious tyranny – anywhere.

    * isnoop.net dictionary
    tolerance: The endurance of the presence or actions of objectionable persons, or of the expression of offensive opinions; toleration.

    Hmmmm. I see a lot of haircuts and clothes that make me want to arrest and/or take a rod to the teens with them.

    Does that make me Muslim?

  6. Improbus says:

    I want to see Iranian youth go gangsta and wear their pants half way down their ass. That’ll teach’m. Hard to run from the clerics with your pants around your ankles.

    Sigh. Religious nutjobs are responsible for: the vote for women. The separation of church and state. The end of slavery as a state sanctioned activity. The US constitution (most of them, anyway). The rule of law.
