As originally reported by Canada.com (but which has since been removed from their web site), "Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims."
The law, which must still be approved by Iran's "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect, also establishes special insignia to be worn by non-Muslims.
Iran's 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."
If this report is true, it is outrageous and reminiscent of Nazi Germany, but not surprising after all of the previous anti-Semitic comments made by the lunatic running Iran. What is surprising to me, is that the yellow strips that Jews will be required to wear if and when this law passes won't be in the shape of the Star of David, as was the requirement under the Nazi's. Of course, that could become a requirement.
