Halal (left) and haram (right)
There Is No Fun In Islam* Alert: "Makeup? It's against Islam, Iran women told," from AFP, December 3 (thanks to all who sent this in):
TEHRAN: Women appearing in television programmes will not be allowed to wear make-up because it is against Islamic law, or sharia, media today Twitter Facebook Share Email Print Save Comment quoted the head of state television as saying."Make-up by women during television programmes is illegal and against Islamic sharia law ... There should not be a single case" of a woman wearing make-up during a programme, Ezatollah Zarghami was quoted as saying by the reformist Etemad newspaper.
Zarghami, a former member of the elite Revolutionary Guards who was re-appointed by supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei, also ordered that women guests should "preferably" be hosted by women.
Speaking at a conference of network directors, he also call-ed for cutting down on music during programmes and urged his staff to take a cue from Western movies, which have "excellent and calm music."
"I do not mean that we should become like them, but we should use positive points. Therefore we (should) put on the agenda the reduction and refining of music," he said. "As of today, you in the production department should launch new supervisory methods... I do not want to tell you to filter, but you should be vigilant that nothing inappropriate happens," Zarghami said.
Zarghami told directors they should also prohibit "repulsive jokes" between men and women on TV or radio, Fars news agency quoted him as saying.
* The Ayatollah Khomeini said that.
Of course, nothing about whether men can wear make up on television............ So, at least, Barry Manilow is safe.
Just another thing that Muslim men can do and Muslimahs cannot.
More nonsense from the religion of the perpetual outrage.
Are these people ever happy?
What about Nitro Circus? Is that halal or haram?
"take a cue from Western movies".......
YEAH, THE SOUND TRACK OF BONANZA....should make our muslim foes jiggle!
The most gaudily and heavily made-up women in the world are Muslim Arab women whom one can observe on the streets of the capitals of the West or, for that matter, as speakerines on many Arab television stations (clips are available at that indispensable website, www.MemriTV.org). It's the face-paint equivalent of the most primitive conception, on display in Dubai and elsewhere, of what constitutes elegance. How comical, then, to have maquillage deplored as un-Islamic, when there has been such a willing embrace of it, and then some.
Why not modern transportation haram too?
I'll take the one on the right.
Iranian state television is also banning "unruly" children. I suppose squealing nine-year-olds are Haram—unless it's on your wedding night.
Meanwhile, the country's "elite" Republican Guards have been charged with blocking foreign-based Farsi-language transmissions—which I suppose is a better use of their time than gunning down peaceful protesters.
There should not be a single case" of a woman wearing make-up during a programme,
They can never compete with Fox news who hires mostly cutesy blonds wearing make-up, and have law degree's...
Oppression, thy name is Islam.
More silliness from the monty pythonesque religion.
I'm surprised women are still allowed to breathe over there.
And no insult to Monty Python intended.
For those unsightly welts,bruises and acid scars..Can't disappoint Allah now can we?

I guess that makes Mohammad against Islam, because I remember reading that he painted his eyes, along with dying his hair reddish with henna.
Put a Burqa on both of them and they look the same. Then it doesn't matter, so whats the (Islamic) beef. Islam is perverted. (I'll take the one on the right.)
"I'm surprised women are still allowed to breathe over there."
Well, if Muslim men could teach sheep how to cook and watch the kids, they wouldn't be.

You forgot the 'and have kids as well'.

You made my day! The thought of the music of Bonanza gave me quite a chuckle. It seems that they are perpetually angry and NEVER happy - always looking for something to complain about.
