Iran cracks down on summer dress

A tale of Islam, the "religion of peace", cooking it's women. I can only hope that these unamed "observers" are right.

...most observers say the crackdown would be counter-productive in a country where two-thirds of the people are under 30 and women play an important role in society.

Iranian women are warned they will be punished if they flout strict Islamic dress codes during the hot summer months.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
