A Sumptuary Psychosis
What does the anti-war Left have to say about this outrage? From the Jerusalem Post:
A new dress-code law reportedly passed in Iran this past week mandates the government to make sure that religious minorities - Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians - will have to adopt distinct colour schemes to make them identifiable in public, the Canadian National Post reported on Friday.
Under the new law, which still awaits final approval from Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Jews will have to wear a yellow band on their exterior in public, while Christians will be required to don red ones.
If the law is approved, it is scheduled to go into effect at the beginning of next year.
Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter responded to the new law Friday night, saying, “Whoever makes Jews anywhere wear the yellow star again, will find themselves in a coffin draped in black.”
How do we know Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a nutbag? Because he believes in resorting to practices from a time and place he does not believe ever occurred —let alone ones that led to a Holocaust. By definition, then, he is delusional.
UPDATE: My reliable antagonist Rider appears to be correct in dismissing this story. I stand corrected. However, seeing as how Iran is a Muslim theocracy based on sharia law, it is inherent in the nature of such countries to treat its non-Muslim (i.e., infidel) populations as second-class citizens. If Jews and Christians and other non-Muslims are not now wearing color-coded clothing, it is probably only a matter of time.
