There are many young women in the Islamic countries who have decided to wear the hejab even though they are not forced to do so. Wearing hejab is a personal choice and has nothing to do with being pious. In our country, it has become a symbol of social class. We’ve seen all those ladies in BMWs who wear the "navaar" and zoom around Northern Tehran. I'm sure they're very pious people, but one cannot disconnect the colonized mentality from this situation. Can you even imagine someone from the working class neighbourhoods of Tehran wearing the "navaar"? Wearing it or not wearing it shouldn't be a symbol of class or privilege. We cannot classify those who decide to wear it as "omol" or backward. I think that's part of this issue.Mohammad - محمدhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804472542162118259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9545615.post-24709653093669339162007-04-28T15:58:00.000-04:002007-04-28T15:58:00.000-04:00Great post M.

As you said one of the reasons why young people in Iran go to extremes when it comes to their behaviour has to do with these restrictions (not just the colonised mentality). It is a kind of dissent, dissent against these silly restrictions. But also sometimes it is directed against the society and family. I remember all these when I was in Iran at school. <BR/>They speak about restoring morality (!) in the society - but how can morality be imposed (looking at it from a religious point of view). How can something be considered as virtue and moral, if a person is forced to it? Of course they usually argue that they care for social security and harmony!!! But how is this going to produce socially-responsible citizens? It is recipe for a sick society. It seems to me that in Iran there is an unhealthy parental-child relationship between the people and the government. <BR/>This kind of thinking is decreasing I am sure - because most people are not blind to how counterproductive this has been. <BR/>As you said this is going to make some great news in Zionist and anti-Iran press.Zaffroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700038978285292113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9545615.post-39031279725052359172007-04-28T08:53:00.000-04:002007-04-28T08:53:00.000-04:00Dear Niki: Unbelievable indeed.Dear Haedeh: Thanks...Dear Niki: Unbelievable indeed.<BR/><BR/>Dear Haedeh: Thanks for your scientific survey. As the Farsi saying goes: “Khar raa gom kardeh, donbaale paalaanesh migardeh." They have lost the confidence of the population and they want to somehow legitimize their actions. I heard they didn't like the publicity around this campaign. They wanted to keep it hush-hush. Unfortunately for them we live in a globalized world and Iranian government has many enemies around the world who use every possible opportunity to delegitimize this government. Now the Zionist press has found something that no one can dispute.Mohammad - محمدhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804472542162118259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9545615.post-29671087151453487532007-04-27T13:30:00.000-04:002007-04-27T13:30:00.000-04:00It won't go anywhere.

My very scientific intuition told me that 80% had taken lessez faire attitude while 10-20% had become hard core Taliban like. While 10-20% is enough to bring terror to the rest of society given that these 10% have the monopoly on violence. But the good news is that in my opinion these 20% are not isolated from the rest of the society and they have to live with close family and friends and relatives who will sin in their eyes. Fortunately, family still stands for something in Iran. <BR/><BR/>It won't go anywhere. But that maybe more a wishful thinking on my part.<BR/><BR/>HaedehH.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14218354110952734551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9545615.post-84798794867717407662007-04-27T09:18:00.000-04:002007-04-27T09:18:00.000-04:00I agree, there is no excuse for this behaviour.
