Default Iran bans eyebrow plucking for men, Western clothes and hairstyles

TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- Iranian police have warned barbers against
offering Western-style hair cuts or plucking the eyebrows of their
male customers, Iranian media said Sunday.

The report by a reformist daily, later confirmed by an Iranian news
agency, appeared to be another sign of authorities cracking down on
clothing and other fashion deemed to be against Islamic values.

"Western hairstyles ... have been banned," the newspaper Etemad said
in a front-page headline.

It came a week after police launched a crackdown against the growing
number of young women testing the limits of the law with shorter,
brighter and skimpier clothing ahead of the summer months.

Under Iran's Islamic Sharia law, imposed after the 1979 revolution,
women are obligated to cover their hair and wear long, loose-fitting
clothes to disguise their figures.

Violators can receive lashes, fines and imprisonment.

The student news agency ISNA quoted a police statement as saying: "In
an official order to barbershops, they have been warned to avoid using
Western hair styles and doing men's eyebrows."

Iranian young men have in recent years started paying more attention
to the way they look and dress, especially in affluent parts of the
capital Tehran. Spiked up hair, by using gel, is known as the Khorusi
(Rooster) style and some also use make-up.

Several hairdressers for men in Tehran offer cuts in the style of
Hollywood movie stars and other Western celebrities. Clients can also
have their eyebrows plucked.

The head of the barbers' union, Mohammad Eftekharifard, said police
had instructed it to "exercise specific regulations in barbershops
that work under its supervision."

Barbers who do not follow these rules might be closed down for a month
and even lose their permits to operate, Etemad quoted him as saying.

"Currently some barbershops apply make-up and use (hair) styles that
are in line with those in European countries and America,"
Eftekharifard said.

He added: "An official order has been sent to the union ... not to
apply make-up on men's faces (or) do eyebrows ... and hence the
barbers are not allowed to do these things."

Since hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the presidency in
2005 on a promise of returning to the values of the revolution,
hardliners have pressed for tighter controls on what they consider
immoral behavior.

woman hating people.

Why, those no good bastards! This is the last straw! Every patriotic,
red-blooded American family should by now be ready to send their sons
and daughters off to die in yet another Zionist war of aggression!

The first episode of a Dutch documentary series about the Israel lobby

From the Iranian Constitution's preamble;

(...)
In the formation and equipping of the country's defence forces, due
attention must be paid to faith and ideology as the basic criteria.
Accordingly, the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic
Revolutionary Guards Corps are to be organized in conformity with this goal,
and they will be responsible not only for guarding and preserving the
frontiers of the country, but also for fulfilling the ideological mission of
jihad in God's way; that is,

***extending the sovereignty of God's law throughout the world***

(this is in accordance with the Koranic verse "Prepare against them
whatever force you are able to muster, and strings of horses, striking fear
into the enemy of God and your enemy, and others besides them" [8:60]).
(...)
****

I'd happily see my kids off to war (as long as they volunteered) to stop
Iran from 'fulfilling its ideological mission of jihad in God's way'.
Wouldn't anyone?
