Ayatollahs Unleash Sectarian Intolerance On Harmless Fashion Show!

I assume all those dishonest drips who stage sectarian clothing shows and mendaciously call them ‘Modest Fashion’ events are still persisting in their disgraceful misrepresentations…

Offensive In Jakarta – Women Can Be Modest Without Being Sectarian!

…but I only just noticed what the sectarians they set out to please actually got up to this month, and I feel obliged to share with you, in case you missed what Iran’s ‘modesty fans’ do to normal women who fall foul of their uptight sexist and tyrannical regime.

Organisers of a fashion show in Iran were charged after videos of the event, which featured fantasy-inspired dresses and women not wearing hijabs, surfaced on social media. The outfits were considered by the public prosecutor to have strayed too far from traditional Islamic clothing.

It’s pathetic, of course…

…but equally it’s  unsurprising.

An Iranian fashion label organised a private show in the high-end salon Ayneh Divan on March 1 in Lavasan, an affluent suburb of Tehran, sending women down the runway without hijabs, a violation of the country’s strict laws mandating that women appear in public with headscarves. 

One might hope that the mendacious ‘modest’ mob in Western countries are vigorously protesting to the various Iran embassies about the way the benighted brutes who run the country have behaved…

…but I won’t hold my breath waiting to hear about it.

Remember Suryadharma Ali, President SBY’s Minister of Religious Affairs…

Good Indonesians Denounce ArchBigot Ali’s Latest Intolerant Outburst 

But aside from his nasty prejudices against Muslims who dissented from his own dogmatic doctrines, he could make people laugh too, with odd-ball rants like this – viz.

The Beat, Jakarta, 29th March 2012 –  Indonesia’s powerful Religious Affairs minister, Suryadharma Ali, has declared that miniskirts are pornographic and should be banned under tough new anti-porn laws.

Appointed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono earlier this month to run the new task force into pornography, Ali told reporters in Jakarta yesterday that a set of universal criteria must be decided. He added that, “one criteria will be when anyone is wearing a skirt above the knee.”

Har, Har, Har, De, Har, Har, Har! ArchBigot of Jakarta Speaks – No Comment!

Any normal person who reads such hogwash would laugh, because there is obviously nothing ‘pornographic’ about miniskirts, and in any event a lot of skirts that reveal knees are NOT miniskirts!

But although such drivel is not heard from the current Religion Minister, who tends to be fairly rational in his statements, his predecessor’s offensive mind-set seems to be alive and well in today’s Jakarta.

• Sopan does mean ‘polite,’ and in this context indicates what is acceptable in respectable company.

• There are photos that do indeed show us that women in these Un-Indonesian styles can be attractive and elegant. A pretty gal can wear just about anything and still turn heads.

• But that’s not the point.

• I like going out and about – as regular readers know, partying is my hobby.

• And a party isn’t a party without nice-looking ladies!

• No expert in women’s fashions, me!

• So my wish to describe how most female guests at most parties here look has required me to scan the internet.

• Here’s an excellent example of typical evening-out wear.

• Knees galore! So I ask you, are those delightful ladies in ANY way NOT ‘polite’ or somehow unacceptable in civilised company?

• Yet using those absurd words fesyen modest (‘modest fashion’) about Arabised clothing-styles plainly suggests that non-Arabised clothing styles are either NOT ‘sopan‘ or at the very least less ‘sopan!’

• …which is something of a hub for nonsense, but it’s a pity this loaded lingo has now popped up in Jakarta.

• It would be much more honest to describe what’s called ‘Modest Fashion‘ in that report as ‘clothing designed to flaunt one’s Islamic allegiance.’

• I have not named the persons and places involved with  the Jakarta show, nor am I saying that ladies who wear the stuff are not modest.

• Women should be free to go around the town wearing what they like…

• What I object to is the clear implication that girls who opt to wear ‘modest wear’ are necessarily modest, or more modest, than girls who dress to look cute.

• That’s just hogwash!

• But it’s hogwash that, if unchallenged,can lead to very unpleasant social outcomes.

We can’t say for sure what Suryadharma Ali’s got to say about all this, because he was imprisoned for corruption a while ago, but I bet the sort of people who like THIS idea of women’s wear…
