Islam

This is the article which has something to do with Islam.

These days the police in Iran warn barber's not to cut men's eyeblows and hair Western European style. Recent years young men tend do those things which is contradictory to the Islamic law (Sharia) in Iran especially Teheran. More and more barber's suggest people moviestars hair style in Hallywood and so on. If people don't obey this order, baeber's would have to close a store for a month and people would be impose a penalty, imprisonment, or the punishment of whip.

When I read this article, I felt negative because cutting hair like hollywood stars isn'trare in Japan. Now people can do anything they want, but still people there can get punishments easily because of things that is normal here.

○This is the list of the words explains Islam○
severe
obligatory
conservative
modest...

This is an interesting article. I think in many countries today, we have these democratic ideals where we think that we can do anything we want because we have freedom. But all cultures place limits on what their people can do. Forbidding certain hairstyles may seem strange to us, but it likely has a lot to do with protecting native Iranian culture.
