Tehran, 19 Dec. (AKI) - A top Muslim cleric in Iran, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani said on Wednesday that women in Iran who do not wear the hijab or Muslim headscarf, should die.

"Women who do not respect the hijab and their husbands deserve to die," said Hassani, who leads Friday prayers in the city of Urumieh, in Iranian Azerbaijan.

"I do not understand how these women who do not respect the hijab, 28 years after the birth of the Islamic Republic, are still alive," he said.

"These women and their husbands and their fathers must die," said Hassani, who is the representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in eastern Azerbaijan.

Hassani's statements came after two Kurdish feminists in Iran were accused of being members of an armed rebel group and of carrying out subversive activities threatening the security of the state.

It is believed that his statements and the arrests could spark a fresh crackdown on women who do not repect the Islamic dress code in Iran.

Thousands of women in Iran have already been warned this year for their "un-Islamic dress" such as wearing tight, short coats and skimpy headscarves.

Remember...This ain't some some individual loonie like the head of the Westboro Baptist Church saying this stuff...The fact that he's a top Muslim Iranian cleric would be equal to a Catholic cardinal saying this stuff...

And the fact that his stements "could spark a fresh crackdown on women who do not repect the Islamic dress code in Iran" shows that what he says may be state-sanctioned...

The Religion of Peace...

Yeah and one of our top clerics said 9-11 happened because of the gays. You have to take them all with a grain of salt.

A theocratic state based on the world's most violent religion makes jack a dull boy.

And of course, saber tooth tigers and irritable tom cats are really quite the same thing, too.

Of course, one will take your head clean off with its first chomp while the other will pee on your petunias and impregnate your pretty little calico, but who's keeping track, any way?

Anyone who presumes to speak for God is delusional. Whats the difference? People like Falwell spur idiots like the bomber Rudolph. And those who feel that they have God on their side when they attack gays. Because of the rhetoric from these hate mongers.

I was nowhere NEAR New York that day, and I have witnesses to prove it.

I take them with a 25 pound bag of driveway salt, an eyeroll, and a groan.
