The Iraq War: A 15 Year Anniversary And Nahid Siamdoust On Revolution In Iran Through Its Women And Music

An Iranian woman chants slogan as she holds a copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book, in a demonstration of religious citizens to protest against non-observance of Islamic dress code in northern Tehran, Iran, Saturday, July 12, 2014. Some 500 people attended the rally calling upon officials to take harsher actions against women with loose headscarves and tight clothes. As the summer has approached and weather gets hot, many women wear colorful, more comfortable clothes and loose headscarves, a fashion that some traditional religious people and hard-liners refer to “bad hijab” and view as an imported Western culture. Under the country’s current Islamic regulations, women should cover themselves head to toe, with their faces allowed to show. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)
