that any culture or religion that places women below men is ridiculous. We already know that women are just as capable as men and sometimes more...so why does society hold them back?

"Iran's hard-line police have detained about 300 women and given warnings to more than 3,500 others within two days in the capital, Tehran, as part of a new crackdown against women hard-liners considered 'insufficiently veiled' or dressed in an 'immoral' fashion." This is what you want your culture to be known for???

Dont bother trying to explain yourself to this closed minded freak who thinks that he is right about everything and that the west is evil, yet, he chooses to live in england!!!!!! Chances are that he wasnt even born there, and launches his anti west opionions from the comfort of his armchair! What a waste of space.

This is what we expect from people that still think stoning women is an appropriate punishment for crime. When Iran respects the civil rights and human rights of all people, the rest of the world might actually look upon Iran as more than a third world country. Restricting what people are wearing or how they cut their hair it simply ridiculous. The government needs to find something better to do with their time. Otherwise, Islam will never be respected in the world.
