While some are disputing this story, anything is possible with little Adolf Ahmadinejad
The fourth Reich of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the countrys Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.
Iranian expatriates living in Canada yesterday confirmed reports that the Iranian parliament, called the Islamic Majlis, passed a law this week setting a dress code for all Iranians, requiring them to wear almost identical standard Islamic garments.
The law, which must still be approved by Irans Supreme Guide Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect, also establishes special insignia to be worn by non-Muslims.
Irans roughly 25,000 Jews would have to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes, while Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would be forced to wear blue cloth.
The new law was drafted two years ago, but was stuck in the Iranian parliament until recently when it was revived at the behest of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
