10 years after the world saw the treatment of Afghan women as deplorable, it is happening again. The leadership of a nation is again forcing politics and religion to merge into one - and Tehran (capital of Iran) has sent a new message of opression to it’s people.

I don’t understand how the leadership of a nation can strong arm it’s citizenry day in and day out.

There will be a revolt… all over a scarf.
