Dude we dont even recognise Israel, Iran is more than welcome to be friends with India, but if your defintion of friendship is based on ones relationship with Israel, then India is the worst friend one could possibly have haha.

Also Israel has actively helped India against Pakistan.

As for Pakistan's relationship with Israel, it is practically non existent. The closest AFAIK that we have gotten is participating in the same air force excercises. A far cry from buying billion $s worth of military weapons (i.e. directly funding the Israeli war machine). If theres anyone in South Asia who is teaming up with Israel against you then that is India.

And Il be honest with you, the vast majority of Pakistanis that I know think the same way. I am Sunni, but have never considered Iran an enemy or hostile nation. I have even been to an Iranian Shia mosque who were holding a namaz e janazah for Benazir after her assassination! If anything you'r comments are fuelling hate for Iran amongst Pakistanis who have thus far remained neutral on Saudi-Iran issues. Both of us are surrounded by hostile nations. The last thing we need is becoming hostile to each other as well.

This is absolutely Insane . Getting fined for haircut?Or heavy Make up? Don't iranian's feel suffocated by this if this is a regular occurrence.?

I have nothing as such against Iran or Shias. But suffocating moral policing is a thing of the past that has no relevence in the world today. Iran and Saudi should challenge the US, no doubt and stay unique, but they should also pave the way for more freedoms for their people. Theocracies do not work anymore in this day and age. I hope the world understands it. Mullahs with power are regressive, evil and impose things on others. Mullahs do not and cannot run a country. That is why intellectuals, administrators and thinkers should be given the job of running a country.

Let me mention a few points.

1) The first clip is from MemriTV. Memri is an Israeli think thank. The whole point of its organization is to find clips from Muslim media to present them in a specific light to be able to manipulate the viewers perception of that nation. Whenever you see any clip with Memri attached to it, be very wary, because you are falling into their trap.

Here are some clips of Memri regarding Pakistan.

Imagine you are a non-Pakistani, and are exposed to those select clips. After 30 minutes, you'll think that Pakistanis are all terrorists and Taliban supporters.

Here are some select Pakistani articles,
http://www.memri.org/pakistan-media.html

2) As @raptor22 mentioned, the clip is from 2007, meaning it is now almost a decade. Why are you posting a decade old video?

Now more importantly,

3) Calling them "Morality Police" sounds scary because the west has trained us to make it seem scary. But the concept of Morality in Law is not new or unique to the world.

A lot of laws that exists in ALL countries have to do with morality. Pornography is banned in many countries. If I am not mistaken, I am sure it is banned in both Pakistan (your nationality) and in Malaysia (your host country). If someone sells **** DVDs in their shop, and Pakistani or Malaysian police come and arrest them, doesn't this mean that the police were a morality police in this case?

The term "morality police" is incorrect for that particular force in Iran, because that's not how their name translates. The name in Iran is "گشت ارشاد" which is read as Gasht-e Ershad. Gasht translates best as "Patrol". Ershad is "Guidance". So the literal translation would be "Guidance Patrol". So why doesn't most Western media use such terms?

A country is allowed to create the sort of laws the people want. Why are we all expected to create our society in the exact shape that the west wants us to?

Do you know how much some of these laws, which might seem silly to outsiders, has actually helped the progress of Iran? Let me give you an example. During Shah's time, there was no such laws. There was more of a western law. Good, right? Freedom, liberty, hooray? So what happened after the revolution happened?

This will surprise you, because it doesn't initially make sense. There was a HUGE boom in female literacy, female going to universities, and being more prominent in society.

How? Doesn't make sense right?

Well, if you understand a society, it makes perfect sense. Iran was a very conservative society (and it still is). So to many conservative families, specially in smaller towns or villages, they did not feel comfortable sending their girls to Tehran for education & work when all they saw was girls wearing miniskirts, going to discos, etc. But when revolution happened, these same conservative families suddenly felt more comfortable letting their girls go.

So applying a western legal system did not work on an eastern society. But a legal system that was in tune with the needs of the society (this is democracy, by the way) produced amazing results.

You have made some good points. But I think we muslims are far behind because we focus more on imposing religion on others and less on good governance and education. Though you have shown clearly there is a bias in the media I do not think all such claims are false. Why should a woman have to wear hijab or abaya? Can we not have freedom of choice here. This is where so many muslim countries fail-they fail to provide freedoms to their people. I am not saying the problem is not there in Pakistan. It is.

Despite this moral policing has no place in muslim society anymore. Muhammad PBUH led by example and by his own moral superiority. The purpose should be such moral superiority that people are inclined to follow us. Not shoving religion down the mouth.

Has anyone checked out the Rich Kids of Tehran instagram? Don't those guys get busted by the Iranian moral police?



سدکے جاواں

They are doing all this at enclosed place or at homes so law does't forbade them.

 

[Islamic faith&Secularism]

Ideology disguised in religion to keep the power on the name of the holly religion, just like in Middle age.

People wonder why the reputation of Islam the religion of peace and muslims are bad must ask it to Arabs and Iranians.

Sad.
