**Update: This story probably isn’t true. ***
Earlier today, Canada.com reported:
“Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country’s Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims….
Iran’s roughly 25,000 Jews would have to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes, while Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would be forced to wear blue cloth.”
UPDATE: The report may not be true.

Hi Amy! I sure hope this is not true. People have a very short memory, and I have always believed, contrary to Political Correctness and the Bleeding Heart Liberal View, that Islam as it is practiced is a religion of violence, intolerance, and hate.

[...] Update: The Author of this report has retracted the story. Iran is upping it’s ante…again. Iran may be going back to it’s roots and pulling the world closer to yet another armed conflict (aka war) by requiring non-Muslims to wear color patches to indicate their religion. This is a proposed amendment to a Muslim dress code. So far Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians all have their own colors. It has not been ratified yet and the story itself is not confirmed. A good source on this is Hot Air. [...]
