THAT IS FUNNY. I HAVE A IRANIAN FRIEND WHO I SPEND A SUMMER IN HER PARENT´S COTTAGE IN NORTH OF IRAN AND THEY WERE ALL LIKE OUR PEOPLE IN PARIS, BUT THEY HAD TO WEAR SMALL SCARF IN THE STREETS. THEY DID IT BUT NOT LIKE THE PICTURE ABOVE IN LONDON:) ACTUALLY THEY WERE VERY FASHIONABLE.

Iranian girls and boys really are fashionable and up to date.
but there is no freedom in Iran.
BUT me!!!!! :
I'm a gay, if the regime of Iran find me with another gay in a bed they will kill us!
YES they will! this is the rule of Islam.
So all of the people in UK just enjoy from their freedom and liberty.

The Koran doesn't insist that women cover to that degree - Islamic extremists (MEN) do!!
Extreme Islam is forcing Women back to the dark ages: no education, no freedom, no opinion, no voice, no future, no one to turn to and nowhere to run!!
Women living under this sort of extremism are less valued than Camels; they're brutally abused, very often tortured and murdered! The Prophet Mohammed proclaimed that Men and Women are equal and should be treated as such.
