Iran ban on 'Western' hairstyles

Iranian police have warned barbers not to give men western hair styles or use make up on them.
The move is part of an unusually fierce crackdown on what is known locally as bad hijab, or un-Islamic clothing, that this year is also targeting men.

Hair stylists have been warned that they could lose their licenses if they do not comply.

However, police have denied a report that they have ordered barbers not to serve customers wearing ties.

Wild

Police say that as well as avoiding western hairstyles and make up, barbers should not pluck customers' eyebrows.

Some young boys in Iran sport very wild hair styles , using gel to make their long hair stand on end in a fashion not seen in other countries.

Meanwhile newspapers in Iran have quoted the police as saying that 16,000 women and 500 men have been cautioned in the last week over their improper clothing.

It is not clear if these figures are nationwide or only apply to the capital, Tehran.

Iranian television has said the crackdown on un-Islamic clothing has entered its second phase now where mobile police units will patrol Tehran to look for those who are not observing Islamic dress properly.

According to the local media, Tehran's public prosecutor has suggested women who violate dress rules should be exiled from the capital to remote areas of the country.

A member of the parliament's legal committee has said there is no legal impediment to doing this.

true,but i could care less what type of haircut an Iranian has..i just think its pointless to point out these things because obviously "us" bein westerners already think the middle-east is ass-backwards in thinking/living. let them do what they feel is right,we dont HAVE to approve.

It's not about improving. Obvously the Midde East is going to do whatever they want regardless of what Westerners think of it. But the point of TOT (which is rarely ever met these days) is to discuss various political, social, religous etc. issues. This banning definatly is showing some negative (and ignorant) attitudes towards Western countries.

People in the West seem to forget about their own bullshit... i.e. not allowing Muslim females to wear headscarves in school.

Do they get in trouble if they shower too much as well?

Actually, Muslims have to be in a pure state before praying, which they do 5 times a day.... that means any time they take a piss or fart or anything they gotta wash themselves before praying... while it's normal in Europe to shower once a week.

Word I remember this German broad that was here as an exchange student when i was in high school.  She stayed with one of my friend's family.  She had hairy pits and never showered.  She'd always try to come over to my house to swim and I told the homey he had to cut that short.

i feel you Teddy. I just feel more attention should be paid to diplomatic resolutions than haircuts/headwear. My first post was not meant to be negative. Im all for discussion and you make a valid point.

morrocco, eqypt, turkey all muslim countries which have banned the headscalf in 1 way or another

whats wrong with wanting to see who you are teaching etc. muslims always cause fuss over shit like this while everyone else just gets along with it and follows the SAME rules
