In 1933 Moselm leaders in Syria blamed the nation’s drought on yo-yos. Our archive also has a story about how Pokemon is a Jewish plot to subvert Arab youth.
Not to be outdone, on Friday, Mohammad-Mehdi Hosseini Hamedani blamed the lack of precipitation on women not wearing hijab.
The Supreme Leader’s representative in the city of Karaj says the reason for low precipitation in the country is a lack of hijab observance of hijab, after many women took off their veils following months of protests. …
Describing anyone who unveils in public as an enemy, he emphasized that all such people must be confronted by the state. “It is not possible to imagine that we are living in an Islamic country when we enter some institutions, shopping malls, pharmacies, etc.!” he said, calling on the authorities to warn shops and malls that serve women who have removed their hijab and close them down if warnings did not suffice.
This sounds familiar. Warnings do not suffice, so businesses that do not enforce a specific type of head or face covering should be shut down.
I know I’ve heard of that somewhere much closer to home. /sarc.
