That's a stupid argument right there

Islam is scared of becoming what christianity is today in western countries, a weak hollow shell of it's former conservative self [right or wrong]

Iran doesn't have people like the ACLU that bitch about the unfairness of a law based on individual rights of expression. And if they do, they're probably going to be killed.

The more yerning that arabs have over wanting to adapt western culture, the more resentfull the conservatives will be over our influence, this is the second spoke of jihad.

It's they're right to ban a hairstyle, if the iranians are going to revolt, let them revolt on their own terms.

I think this is just silly
I mean over here in the UK we don't ban 'Islamic' hairstyles

And from earlier in the thread -
Over here in the UK we don't have corporal punishment or execution
I think both of them are very unethical
And so do most people over here

Any proof of that? Maybe an example or two?

As your government - who has a monopoly on your media - wants you to be.

That link refers to CanWest Global, which is a private company, not government run.

Well, my point with that is Canada has a very singular media industry. So even if CanWest is private, it's still subservient to Cancon rules. Even private Canadian companies are still "controlled" by your government in that they are required by law, passed by the Canadian parliament, to have certain political content.

ROFL, you are completely fucking lost, oh and ignorant.

You're in fucking denial.

Ever hear of CTV or CanWest Global? They aren't government run or funded. Sure they have to follow rules, just like the US stations have to follow FCC rules.

The FCC doesn't force the media to be Pro-US. If that were the case, if our media was as controlled and engineered as yours, I'd wonder why basically the vast majority of our media is liberal and is incredibly anti-US in general. Our media is incredibly critical of our government, accused our government of carrying out 9/11, called our troops murderers, sided with terrorists etc.. the FCC doesn't interfere in politics.

A little something called Air America wouldn't exist if the FCC had something even remotely similar to the Cancon rules. In fact, the vast majority of our news focuses on our flaws. Canadian media is forced to focus on what is supposedly good about Canada, while ignoring the flaws.

It's pretty obvious that you're desperate to ignore these simple facts. Bringing up the FCC, which censors explicit content, not political content, just shows how delusional you really are.

I wonder what I would listen to if my local radio station didn't have to play some Canadian content? More american filler I'm sure. I don't mind that fact, nor do I mind that they play Canadian commercials during US shows, I like to shit that pertains to me and my area, not yours.

Oh.... so now it's a matter of your personal taste as opposed to press freedom. I see what you did there, nice maneuver.

If the government was engineering our media to block out external influence, then why do we have channels from around the world? Channels in many different languages? Channels that show many different cultures? You know, external influence.

Well you don't have channels from all around the world. You have Canadian networks that carry other channels, while having a required amount of Canadian culture implanted into it to offset the influence.

Also, notice how your country doesn't have Al Jazeera English? That's because your government still tightly controls what channels are shown in Canada. News that would mix things up too much are deemed to threatening apparently. I think the official reason that was given when it was blocked in your country was because Al Jazeera shows the death of NATO soldiers, and a few times those shown killed were Canadians.

In the meantime, I've turned the channel to Al Jazeera and seen a video of a US soldier blown to bits. Yet according to some, including Canadians (you've done it before), the US media is supposedly controlled by OUR government...

Haha and I find this incredibly funny because you've had the audacity to criticize American media, which is basically entirely private. Meanwhile, Canada's only major news channel is OWNED BY YOUR GOVERNMENT.

Amazingly you're wrong again. When/where did I criticize the american media?

Oh come on, you've done it before. I don't feel like sifting through your post history. But you KNOW you've made remarks about our media, something along the lines of our media being controlled by Neocons/Jews, therefore causing us to be pro-Israel.

And Canada has more than one major news channel.

Link?

You just like to focus on the CBC because it is government funded.

I like to focus on the CBC because it's government owned, and happens to be your only major Canadian news channel.

You need to calm down a bit and stop thinking everyone should respect you for being american

Um what? That's funny because I don't care wtf people think about me. Nor have I thought people should "respect" me simply for being American. I just think you're doing what you always do, spouting out irrelevant nonsense focused on me. You lose in actual arguments against me, so you have to repeatedly devote entire posts to me, personally.

because your the sort of wanker who gives america a bad name.

zzzzd, you're a semi-literate, uneducated fool who - if you were a key example - would make one assume the UK was a land of people with Down Syndrome.

Apparently.

But it's less national pride, more "look at what is wrong with America, thus making us slightly different and superior."

Exactly, your more tolerant than them, you live in a country where tollerance is praised. atleast to the degree where it's willing and unfacilitated; They dont, and they praise they're conservativism in that respect, atleast some of them do.

If anyone here is the kind of person who feels we are pressuring the arabs should be in favor of this law, just as they should be in favor of westerners remaining absent from all middle eastern affairs.

What nobody's asked yet (unless I uberskimmed), is what constitutes as an "Eastern hairstyle" exactly?

While a shaved head is an obvious choice, traditional Muslims were supposed to grow their hair out and not cut it, while I believe braiding can be traced back to the Egyptians. So, what's the stance on, say, dreadlocks?

Also, does this mean Iranian men can have a smaurai ponytail?

They probably steriotype hair styles into Muslim Arab and Non muslim Arab just like we do in our own sense.

But i have to admit, that was pretty funny, i can just picture it.

Let there be peace between all peoples of all faith's. I hope Iran can get their act togther, and let freedom and liberty propser because this is what prophet muhammad (pbuh) would want.

Peace to all.

No, it's just their culture evolved seperately to the West, just like Chinese and Japanese culture did until comparitivly recently.

Shut the fuck up you ignorant ass. In old Islam peple had a lot of rights, women could divorce husbands had the right to own property a hell of a lot more freedom than Christianity at the same fucking time period. I don't even consider governments like Iran's to be Muslim in any way. They are extremists saying that they represent Islam is like saying the Ku Klux Klan represents Christianity you moron. And if you say Islam is stupid and your a Christian or a Jew your insulting your fucking self because the Qur'An states it's the same God. Allah means God.

Didn't Islam declare eternal enmity against the rest of us? To hell with them. I hope they don't only ban Western hairstyles, I hope they also keep Muslims from coming into Western countries as well.

All we need to do is make sure they don't fire nukes on us. For all the rest, to hell with them.

Go fucking kill yourself you KKK motherfucker. Muslims are cool and this is coming from someone of Jewish ancestry it's the same God don't let extremists represent an entire people you moronic prejudiced fucktard.

The move is part of an unusually fierce crackdown on what is known locally as bad hijab, or un-Islamic clothing, that this year is also targeting men.

Hair stylists have been warned that they could lose their licences if they do not comply.

However, police have denied a report that they have ordered barbers not to serve customers wearing ties.

Wild

Police say that as well as avoiding Western hairstyles and make up, barbers should not pluck customers' eyebrows.

Some young boys in Iran sport very wild hair styles, using gel to make their long hair stand on end in a fashion not seen in other countries.

Meanwhile newspapers in Iran have quoted the police as saying that 16,000 women and 500 men have been cautioned in the last week over their improper clothing.

It is not clear if these figures are nationwide or only apply to the capital, Tehran.

Iranian television has said the crackdown on un-Islamic clothing has entered its second phase now where mobile police units will patrol Tehran to look for those who are not observing Islamic dress properly.

According to the local media, Tehran's public prosecutor has suggested women who violate dress rules should be exiled from the capital to remote areas of the country.

A member of the parliament's legal committee has said there is no legal impediment to doing this.

Does the Aristocratic Iranian government have ANYTHING better to do than basically fuck up an already fucked up Theocratic Nightmare of A country that's slowly drifting towards Cleptocracy and Necrocracy?.

There, I've said it. The Iranian is crazy assed, and without Iraq there to keep them in check. They're wasting tax dollars on mobile units to patrol for 'improper hairstyles'......

Good gosh, these idiots need to take a quick look at their current Qu'ran/secretly be party animals agenda, then at the masses of starving people barely getting by whom, as civil servants, they're supposed to SERVE, and make a good decision sbout what to do next.

Correction: The populace seems to have more sense than the authoritarian government that looks to be using Islam as a shield for their stupid Aristocratic actions. However, due to widespread censorship and fear, not many people speak out against the government and instead JOIN the government to try and rise out of the dung pits of 'the average Iranian lifestyle'.
