Did you know about the different levels of Muslims??, The reason i'm asking is that i've been watching the problem in Iran lately and for quite a strict country, even with their own religious police, There dosn't seem to be many women wearing Burkha's, Yes a scarf over their head, but with the full face showing.

Even the CNN reporters wear the same out of respect.

But, In the demonstrations held outside the Iranian Embassy in London, You see Iranian Women the dressed the same as Western women.

I guess only a small percentage of the more Stricter sect must make women wear these Burkhas, and as its been stated these originated from from Saudi Arabia, where the woman are no way treated as equal.

Thanks

Alright, I dont mean to sound racist at any extent but here is what my analysis on Iran and its westernized citizens is. When the King Shah was at power, Iran was way too modernized and westernized, people use to have fancy clothing and a lavish lifestyle mainly due to the fact that the US was a strong ally for Iran at that time. The business relations between Iran and the US was unimaginable and frankly unbelievable as a result, the strict Muslim clerics in Iran were waiting for a revolution and a sudden outburst upon the Shah's departure from Iran and Imam Khomeini's arrival seemed to be the right thing to happen. Iran came back in track, became the same strict country it is today.

Its compulsory to cover the women with Burkhas/Hijab in Iran, but most of the rebels and protesters and pro-Mousavi citizens are quite westernized. They dont like the strict lifestyle, the isolation from the Western World, they want to be a modern country where there is a freedom of choice and rights. A revolution to overthrow the current Supreme Leader of Iran is in the sight of hapennings mainly because too much frustration and hatred has grown up on the current Persian citizens. We can only wait and see what happens, Iran always had this vibe of the Western Lifestyle as a result many of them oppose to wear Hijab/Burkhas but since its compulsory, they at least need to show that they wear it. In Khomeini's days, it was much more strict and such freedom and such outburst by the Citizens in Iran was not possible, it was way too tough back then.

Persians mainly in US & Canada are a lot more freedom based, they do what they want and they have their own choice of wearing whatever they want. I know many persians here in Toronto and I have seen many girls who wear the Hijab just because they want to and I have seen many who wear more western attires than most Americans/Canadians do.
