Iranian extremist Muslim clerics lash out on veiling

Iran’s hard-line Muslim clerics are determined to reverse the trend of what they regard as “badly veiled women” — those who wear looser, less strict head scarves and tight overcoats. These Muslim extremists believe they are holding up “the law of God, which is above human rights.”

Small wonder that many western countries are taking steps to curb similar expressions of Muslim extremism.
