Iran on Modesty

Story: "Ghaemi said that the penalty for violating a code that requires the complete covering of women's heads and bodies in public depends on the officers involved and the women's political connections.

"The person could end up in jail depending on their relationship with the authorities," he said. "Generally, the imposition of strict Islamic codes has been increasing under Ahmadinejad."

Just as women in recent years had pushed the boundaries by wearing head scarves that revealed more than they hid, many Iranians had flouted the law banning them from owning satellite dishes, the report said. The government has been cracking down on them as well."

So. No showing of eyes!!! They will contaminated men. No showing of a nose, that would cause lustful thoughts. No displaying ears, or may you rot in hell.
And worst of all, no dish network. Stop polluting yourselves with the infedel garbage!!

There's an Iranian at my school. She wears the head scarf but not the veil.

So I have a ?
If someone robs a bank w/ a veil, how do they catch the guy/gal? I mean as soon as that person walks out of the bank, there are like hundreds of them dressed alike on the streets. Of course, if caught, then the penalty is like chopping off the hands.

Yeah, well, we did have that story about guys cross dressing over there in Saudi, and they were punished for it. Probalby worse in Iran.
