Iran's morality police begin enforcing strict dress code again - Velshi - MSNBC



In 2022, the death of Mahsa Amini after being arrested by Iran’s morality police sparked a movement. Many women took to the streets to protest and even flouted the country’s strict Islamic dress code. The response was so large that the morality police largely pulled back. It made a difference – at least for a little while. Two years later, however, the morality police are cracking down once again. - Aired on 05/11/2024.

Yes you are correct. They are deeply ashamed of their lust.

American men are not at all ashamed of their love of female skin.
So no need to make it illegal.

realize that if there WAS a "free" Palestine from the river to the sea... that the women there would very likely be subjected to similar laws as those in Iran or Saudi Arabia. Never mind what happens to LBGTQ+ people in those countries. Honor killings for falling in love with someone your family disapproves. Beheading for having an affair.
