Iran eyes badges for Jews
Law would require non-Muslim insignia
Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.
"This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."
Iranian expatriates living in Canada yesterday confirmed reports that the Iranian parliament, called the Islamic Majlis, passed a law this week setting a dress code for all Iranians, requiring them to wear almost identical "standard Islamic garments."
The law, which must still be approved by Iran's "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect, also establishes special insignia to be worn by non-Muslims.
Iran's roughly 25,000 Jews would have to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes, while Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would be forced to wear blue cloth.
¡Que vean esto los Chamberlains del mundo, por favor!
ReplyDelete¡Increíble pero real!
ReplyDeleteAún hay esos tipos de tarados
Esta theocracia no tiene límites. Era cuestión de tiempo nomás (o de que a alguien se le ocurriera, aunque la idea es vieja) para que lo propusieran. Si ya las mujeres viven un regimen discriminatorio, no iban a ser menos con los no-musulmanes (ahora no vayan a pensar que soy feminofóbico o algo así).
ReplyDeletehabrás querido decir "misógino", no??
ReplyDeleteA menos que feminofóbico (neologismo probablemente) signifique otra cosa, no hay diferencia. En cualquier caso, no soy ninguno. Cuando a uno no saben qué decirle, entran a sicoanalizarlo y a achacarle fobias (judeofobia, negrofobia...). Pará flaco, qué m sabes a lo que le tengo fobia?
