I'm Jadi. A 27 years old from Tehran / Iran. I blogged for years at my farsi weblog (www.jadi.net) but these days I'm FILTERED in my own country so I have to write here in english. It's shame but it is the situation !

I am keeping an eye on freedom of expression, censorship, internet filtering and ...

Email: jadijadi at gmail

Note: english IS NOT my native language. I'm not good at it. But I think writing in poor english is much more BETTER THAN not writing at all. But I'll be glad reciveing friendly editorial, spelling, grammer, ... comments and I'll fix and learn.

View Article  Islamic Fashion Show In Islamic-Iran
In Iran wearing hijab is obligatory.It means every woman in Iran have to wear Chador or Scarf+Mano (kind of long, large dress).

This phenomen have been a controversory issue all time after the Islamic revolution because most of the women (specially younger generation) doese not beleive in this kind of obligatory hijab so they doese not take it serious. In streets there are some police whos function is arresting Bad-Hijabs and making them wear it tigh so no body part or no hair may be seen.

The story was like this until we heard about the "Islamic-Hijab-Show"s ad in newspapers and governmental controlled radio an Tv. Islamic regime had lots of propaganda. They were saying "At last we designed some islamic hijab for our good muslim people who are interested also in fashion !". What a great Idea ! Lets have a look...



wow... sexy ! don't you this so ? this reminds me of 1001 nights stories.






As you can see, no male audience is allowed in the show !!! Although there are going to be "Islamic Hijab"s !



Sad part for me ? They claim Hijab is for womens own safety. Hijab helps muslim women not to attract mens attention. Know think about this orange / flowerish Manto ! This will attract more mens attention than an ordinary T-shirt and jeans.



I think these desings sucks ! If they want to be good muslims, there is no need to this kind of "out bra"s (are these jackets?) and if they want to be sexy, attractive and seductive what is this joke with Islam ?!

Have a look at this Mini-Chador !





In the entrance's top you can read "My homelands women" ! I think this is ridiculus because if my homelands women are muslim they do not wear this kind of fashion/funny hijab and if they are not strict muslims, they wear ordinary cloths or non Islamic fashions.
View Article  Director sells cigarettes
Manijeh Hekmat is one of the good Iranian movie directors. She have been directed the "Prison of women" and some other great movies and I like her works. For directing any movie - as any other thing - you have to get a license from government and Manijeh Hekmat did not got one for her new movie. What did she do ? Instead of saying "OK ! I'll do other another job" she said "OK ! I'll do another job, I'll sell cigarettes in the street in front of the Islamic guidance ministry from now on !".

I think this a marvelous idea. I have to go there and chat with her and buy some cigarettes and start smoking :D
