Women With Suntans Will Be Arrested, Iran Police Chief Warns

The warning follows recent comments made by a hard-line Iranian cleric, who claimed women dressed in revealing clothing were disturbing young men and causing earthquakes.

Women with suntans are violating Islamic law and will be arrested in Iran, the capital city's police chief was reported by The Daily Telegraph as saying Wednesday.

"The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values," Brigadier Hossien Sajedinia said.

"In some areas of north Tehran we can see many suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins," he continued. "We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them."

The warning follows recent comments made by a hard-line Iranian cleric, who claimed women dressed in revealing clothing were disturbing young men and causing earthquakes.

A preacher has also told the residents of Iran's capital Tehran to leave the city.

"Go on the streets and repent for your sins. A holy torment is upon us. Leave town," said Ayatollah Aziz Khoshvaqt during a recent sermon in northern Tehran.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that I was not born in the Middle East.

Oh - you'd definitely be stoned to death by now - and I don't mean 'stoned' in a good way.

your right, I would....but I would've taken out a couple of guys before I went!

That's my girl! Kick some butt on your way out.

BTW - the Middle East is probably grateful you weren't born there too.
They'd be out of rocks by now.

Can someone run it by me again: how are women causing earthquakes?!

This might be a totally ignorant statement, but aren't Iranians olive-skinned? Even with head to toe covering, don't they appear sun-tanned?
