Religious Pieces of Flair

Newspaper

current event by NastyPrincess on 19 May 2006, tagged as theology

Jews may once again be required to wear identifying badges if Ali Khamenehi approves a new Iranian bill. Already passed in the Iranian parliament, the bill essentially states that non-Muslims will be required to adhere to an Iranian dress code that includes religious badges to distinguish faiths. Given that the country's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denies the holocaust ever happened, this law may not be a distant reality. Such action will likely further isolate the Middle Eastern country against the influences of the West.

Censorship or Hoax? by alanjnerd :: NR0

Interesting that your link to the article on http://www.canada.com comes up with an error message, "This story is no longer available." A search of canada.com shows this entry in the results:

Iran eyes badges for Jews. Law would require non-Muslim insignia. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis.".

TruthDig.com prefaces their article on this issue with a statement "UPDATE: This may be a completely bogus report."
