Fair

the phony sargord is on the niac blog too spouting the same gibberish. i believe he also goes by mark pirooz or mark pyruz. he's just another west-residing islamist hoodlum. cheers.

Agha Irani

Thank you for your comments and calling a duck a duck.  Of course fascist propagandist mercenaries like Sargooz are just doing their job, which requires utter shamelessness.  Notice he has completely ignored the fundamental point here about government mandated dress codes, and once again made a complete fool of himself.

Of course he shamelessly will continue to come here and pretend to be worthy of being listened to, but he fools nobody one bit.  He is as empty as his self awarded title.

Thank you "Fair"

The shameless clown Pirouz is on Tehran Bureau too.  I try to respond to his preposterous statements there. I'm glad there is someone to reply to his shameFUL propaganda here.  

You are of course right - he is fighting a losing battle and no one (unless they are paid by the IRI) believes his garbage. 

"by not interfering with peoples attires" :-)

Not interfering with peoples' "attires". What country are we talking about? IRI? In IRI, the regime doesn't interfere with peoples' attire?

Okay, thanks to "AN-e Botshekan", IRI is well on its way to being an Islamic democracy under majority rule and the "rule of law" with checks-and-balances where clerics perform only "religious duties" and the government does not interfere with peoples' attire. Sure. Good to know  :-)

No fear

Nice Try. We all know where the "stance" really is at. 

Can not be enforced by the police??? how many video clip in various towns and cities across the land have we seen where women where forced, that right FORCED into the car and were taken away. Apparently someone behind the scenes must have defined some kinda Guidline. You say Stalling tactic? Hardly.

I think we all know, where the orders came from and who executed them dutifully.

Your question at the end has already received an ample reply.

How did we get here ?

For 6 years , Ahmadinajd resisted to refer the " hejab and Monkerat" bill to the parliament. This caused quite a stir in our country with both the conservatives and the oppostion groups questioning the president's motives in regard to hejab in Iran.

Ahmadinejad stood firm on his stance and said that this is a cultural issue and can not be forced by police who are controled by government. He also said that there is no Guideline to define what is the right attire of clothes and etc. He argued that without a guideline,( Law ) he is not rsponsible to enforce personal views on people. This was ofcourse, a stalling tactic.

Now we have the ministry of Ershad setting the guidelines. Whether this is an order from VF or Ahmadinejad is giving in to the oppositions demand, has yet to be known.

But most importantly, Is he going to enforce these laws? Or will he remain true to his words by not interfering with peoples attires.

To Sargord Pirouz

You called Fair arrogant, where you ignored her comment altogether. I would like to know how would you address this part of her comment:

freedom loving" America went through no such thing.  There were no government approved haircuts, there was no BULLSH*T ministry like ministry of Islamic guidance, and there was no state or federal law enforcement agency created for enforcing dress code in society.

And then try to compoare it with the USA.

Thank you

Doctor X: Don't fall for this "Hoqqebaz"

Jenab Aghayeh Doctor X,

"This is a class war"!!!!

How about learning what the heck "class war" means , before declaring it on iranian.com!

Sargord

Your providing the historical context in order to Justify this is so extremely misguided. It should be clear to you and those who share your POV that those who favored such strict policies and encouraged or pushed adherence to them failed so misrably, because the citizens of this country(USA) evolved far beyond the mediocrity and shallowness of continuing to deepen or even start a rift over such issues, and are much better for it.

Of course, every business establishement reserve the right to set requirements on proper attire on its clients, and schools and public institutions have certain leeway in making such decisions, but what is a well-known fact is that ultimately this leads to a furthering of the democratic process within the walks of society, without creating any conflicts.

Are you seriously not seeing the difference between a federally mandated acceptable criteria on hairstyle and the freedom to exchange opinions on it and pick the most appropriate form?

Revenge of a social class to all other

This is a class war. The system knows who goes against them and what class they are. The system might also know that their opposition is from various classes, but the most outspoken are among those who are upper middle class having hair styles and modern/western style outfit. So they are going to get the out, either out of country or out of the scenes.

A simple dictatorial tactic to create fright and make belief that the country looks, feels, and thinks the same. Shameful and comical at the same time.However these kinds of things are temporary and ultimately weakens the system, as it already has.

Fascist major you're a typical liar

and a pathetic one at that.

Like I said and you conveniently ignored, there was no government ministry or law criminalizing hippie hairstyles or clothing.  Politics and editorials  are an entirely different matter than government decreeing and enforcing some arbitrary dress code. Politics and editorials are part of free speech in a free society- something that you oppose vehemently because you are an advocate of military dictatorship.

Not only you are ignorant, you are dishonest and shameless as you cotinue (and fail miserably) to plant and perpetuate lies.  Well in case you haven't realized, this is not 1938 and we are not in Nazi Germany.  You cannot control information, and the reality (including what went on in the US in the 1960's) is available for everyone (especially those in the west) to see.

No matter how much you try to lie about it.

Like I said, you fool no one.  All you do is insult the intelligence of the readers here (for whom you have no respect).

Typical third world dictator.  Pathetic indeed.

Sargood, You're a typical

Sargooz, you're a typical American who hasn't even lived in Iran and
probabely never even visited it who's talking out of his behind about
every issue that includes Iran.

Btw, none cares what America does, we're talking about Iran here, and
just cause they did it doesn't mean we should. I'm assuming that you
wouldn't jump off a cliff if someone else did.

آذری ها میگن: ای ران تاپ میر ایش ماقا، چادیرالی قاچیر سیش ماقا

Sorry, the Farsi meaning gets totally lost in direct translation.  But, it is a Turkish rhyme analogous to saying that IRI cannot fix the important issues like unemployment, addition and corruption.   So, instead, they put their efforts into BS issues like women's nails or men's hair. 

Basically, it is a distraction to convience everyone that IRI is in charge, no matter how crappy everything looks.

Khalifa can control the hair style

But not the grey matter underneath the skull.

Fair, you're a typical post

Fair, you're a typical post '79 exile. You have no idea what it was like in the US during the late 1960's. 

There was plenty of politics and editorials decrying hippie hairstyles and clothing here in the US, with PSA's even broadcast on television.

But hey, you post '79 exiles are all the same. For you Iran ended and the US only began in 1979. Ignorant.

Keep reading and stop distorting

as usual self proclaimed major.

"freedom loving" America went through no such thing.  There were no government approved haircuts, there was no BULLSH*T ministry like ministry of Islamic guidance, and there was no state or federal law enforcement agency created for enforcing dress code in society.

It was left up to society, and society figured it out, through freedom of speech, debate, and voting.

Three things that you don't believe in, and deny our people.  For one simple reason:

You are a fascist and an enemy of the Iranian people.  You are an anti Iran cheerleader, and fool nobody one bit.

WAy too cool!

Love his show!

Last night I read a

Last night I read a Wikipedia article on the rock band Lynryrd Skynyrd. The band got its name from the band members' high school PE teacher, who was known for being very tough on enforcing the school's ban on long hair, during the 1960's.

In fact, during that time period, America went through its own social push back on what the establishment claimed was subversive long hair and hippie type clothing. There were policies in schools and the work place, pushing back on this "hippie subversion".

So you see, just 40 years ago it was "freedom loving" America going through this kind of thing. Back then it was no laughing matter (see the ending scene of the movie "Easy Rider"). Now, 40 years later they laugh at Iran for going through something very similar. How soon we forget.

NBC Local News in Bay area had a laugh over mullet ban in Iran

This morning about 6:30, I was listening to NBC local news in San Francisco Bay area. They mentioned Iran banning mullets and had a good laugh over it.  It would be much better if Iranian government were more concerned with important issues but then these kind of rulings are expected from IRI.

Assalam...

me like'm :)))

Blessings and Peace

be upon my part.

lol

LOL

I don`t know when the IRI will realize how stupid they make us Iranians look before the world. I also wonder about Mr. Kalhor since he is top aid to Ahmackmadow...down one more time nejad.....lol. That would be interesting to watch!

colbert

is just so cool!

I knew it was coming!
