Iranian police have shut down 547 restaurants and cafes in Tehran for not observing "Islamic principles", the capital's police chief has said.

"The owners of restaurants and cafes in which Islamic principles were not observed were confronted, and during this operation, 547 businesses were closed and 11 offenders arrested," the police's website quoted Hossein Rahimi as saying on Saturday.

Fars news agency said the operation was carried out over the past 10 days.

The infractions included "unconventional advertising in cyberspace, playing illegal music and debauchery", Fars reported.

"Observing Islamic principles is ... one of the police's main missions and responsibilities," the police chief said.

'Immoral behaviour'
Also on Saturday, the head of Tehran's guidance court, which deals with "cultural crimes and social and moral corruption", called on Tehran citizens to report cases of "immoral behaviour" by texting a designated phone number.

"People would like to report those breaking the norms but they don't know how ... We decided to accelerate dealing with instances of public immoral acts," Mohammad Mehdi Hajmohammadi told the judiciary's Mizan Online.

Iran arrests 29 women for not wearing hijab in protests
Citizens can report instances of those removing their "hijab in cars", "hosting mixed dance parties" or posting "immoral content on Instagram", he said.

Under the Islamic dress code of Iran, women can only show their face, hands and feet in public, and they are supposed to wear modest colours.

 

this is why we do not want a theocracy in America

 

She has to keep her hijab on even inside a car??

 

This is why Iran is our real enemy.

Russia isn't shutting down their restaurants are they?

Oh, but according to you folks we should hate Russia and love Iran.

Nice logic there.

 

we put under god in our pledge cause of the red scare, do you think it's time to remove that?

 

If anyone starts enforcing allegiance to God, yes. Til then, bigger fish to fry.

Like opposing any form of Shariah instituted in the US.

 

Holy crap! I didn't know that. I always thought that was in direct conflict with Constitutional principles.

Eisenhower had that added.

 

What do you think laws against abortion are doing? That is a religious issue.

 

Obama, Pelosi and Schumer loved enough to send them billions of dollars, as much as $150 billion.. Just a small portion of that money could have been used for border security instead. Islam is the enemy of humanity, and that truth is demonstrated repeatedly.

 

Preaching to choir. I hate abortion, but it should remain legal. Its a moral issue, and I dont support legislating morality.

Its not really a religious issue though. While most opposed are religious and many supporting are not, neither stakes their reasoning for it on God.

 

I thought everyone knew that

"
Senator Joseph R. McCarthy crusaded against Communists in the government and was eventually censured by the Senate. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles enunciated a policy of ''massive retaliation'' against aggression by the Soviet Union. The Supreme Court found school segregation unconstitutional. Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress for the last time in the 20th century.

As well, in June, by voice votes and with little discussion, the Senate and House passed a resolution adding two words, ''under God,'' to the Pledge of Allegiance.
"

"The change was made to draw attention to the difference between the system of government in this country and ''godless Communism.''"

so yep, the pledge used to represent all Americans

 

Are Muslims for or against abortion? What does Mohammed have to say on the subject? Keep in mind this thread is about what's going on in Iran.

 

Life begins at conception is 100% a religious issue.

You [they] can't argue something without brain function is a person. That is the definition of death!

 

Hard to believe they'd force women to wear a black body covering even in intense heat. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/w...f-the-things-Iranian-women-arent-allowed.html

 

Why are you trying to derail the thread? Do you have special interests?

 

Frankly, i do not see this as our business

That said, North Korea seems approximately similar...and it seems we have no problem with them as long as they do not test nukes or icbms. Saudi arabia and pakistan are no charmers either.... but we seem ok with them.

As far as i can tell.... we are ok with pretty much anything a country does...as long as they play ball. The main problem we have with iran is that they are not intimidated by us or iran

 

'Life begins at conception' is a spiritual issue, not a religious one. Its also not the only argument used against abortion.

 

It should be in everyone's interests as to how people are treated anywhere in this world. And in fact many do complain about the treatment of the North Korean people.

 

Just another Muslim hate thread.

 

What do you like about Islam?

 

Where did I say I liked Islam, show me.

 

You never said you liked it or disliked it but did seem sensitive. I just asked the question. Are you aware of anything good coming from this ideology?

 

Right so you admit you just made it up, I do not debate people who make things up, good day.

 

Made what up?? Anyway, Adios.

 

The assumption I like Muslims,

It is a fallacy that is committed a lot by people like you, and is a fallacious argument. Bye.
