"At least eight people have been arrested in Iran in a crackdown on women posing for fashion photos online without a headscarf, Iranian media report.

Monday's arrests included seven female models allegedly involved in posting on the photo-sharing platform Instagram, according to Khabar Online news website.

The state media's television report included footage of model Elham Arab, known for her portraits in wedding dresses, speaking before Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi in a conference room, her blonde hair hidden under a black chador.

"All people love beauty and fame," Arab said. "They would like to be seen, but it is important to know what price they will pay to be seen."

The report did not say what charges Arab faced, nor did it identify the other seven people arrested. It said police identified about 170 people in the operation through social media activity as being involved in modeling, including 58 models, 59 photographers and make-up artists.

It said those targeted saw their businesses shut down, as well as their pages on Instagram and Facebook removed.

"We must fight with enemy's actions in this area," Dowlatabadi was quoted by the state-owned IRAN newspaper as saying. "Of course our actions in this area will continue."

"Iran is actually a moderate country. We should be best friends with them. Sunnis are evil, Shias are like the Christmas-and-Easter lapsed Catholics of Islam. Anyone that doesn't want to give Iran billions of dollars and ally with them is a neocon warmonger. All that Death to America, Death to Israel stuff is just symbolic, like when Brazilians shout You Will Die to foreign fighters. They don't literally want to destroy America, not at all! It's not like they sponsor terrorism or anything." Etc.

Believe it or not there are 'liberals' who post on HuffingtonPost basically what you just said. These are people who also say that it is 'immoral' to support any non-progressive candidate or person who doesn't do xyz things for human rights. And yet they support Iran in their Noam Chomsky type quest for 'blame America'.

Wait does that disqualify this whole topic because a hot model was born in Iran?

The people themselves are more moderate and open to the West. The government? Not so much. This is only more evidence of that.

Btw Saudi Arabia is the source of 3/4th of ISIS' foreign fighters. If anyone's population is full of extremists its them

what has pakistan ever done to america?
what has SA ever done to america?
what has egypt ever done to america?

Now, pak and SA are homes and breeding grounds of terrorists and i would not argue too much against them being responsible for 911, but I would put the iran hostage situation over that because the iranian government did that, not just some unofficial terrorists

Sounds like something a theorcracy would do. Hopefully more american influence will help get rid of thos kind of thing.

If we ally, and increase our relations with Iran, we can help them see the light, bring them out of the ignorance. It may take some time, but the bond will be more real, and stronger. We cannot pass an opportunity to seek out new friendships just because of a little thing like what you consider to be indecent exposure. We may create an even better friend to us than Israel.

Who is worse? Amongst our allies, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan certainly.
The former is far worse in regards to islamic fundamentalism (the topic of the thread). Highlighting that they're worse we can also point to the origins of most of the 9-11 hijackers, long-time support of both AQ and ISIS (passively by the government and actively by the population.

For Afghanistan we can similarly point to propping up Taliban forces.


Also, I was alive during the Iran hostage crisis.
