IRAN CRACKS DOWN ON CLOTHES
The Beeb is reporting this morning that
Iran's conservatives are cracking down on women's clothing ahead of the baking summer. Clothing shops and factories have been given a written order to stop producing clothes that stray from the strict female dress codes, the head of a clothing trade union in Tehran told a local newspaper.
When will liberals in the West speak out against this kind of thing? If the Religious Rightists in the Bush administration tried to impose their religious morality by state power in this way, there would be an international outcry from the left. I'll start giving the left consideration as real "progressives" when they treat the Islamofascists the same way.
