Goering was alright. Certainly no nazi. He was a decent pilot and a lover of food, women and drugs who happened to be an opportunist.

Now Goebbels. He didn't have a nice face.

One wonders whether she survived the revolution, a. By now she may be an old crone living in the medieval ****pit that is Tehran.

Any relation?

Now that would be a story to take to The Sunday Times. '"Goebbels Was A Jew" claims Finchley Man.'

Could you explain to me exactly when the drastic climate change occurred which caused these women to rush for the chador?

You're certain that there weren't any women in Iran in the 70s that wore some form of head covering? Really?

I'm sure there were some who wore some sort of head covering, as a result of religious and cultural beliefs. What I'd like to know is why, nowadays, it would be inconceivable to dress as those young ladies did in the 70s, and why 'some sort of head covering' (a mealy-mouthed, mendacious phrase, by the way) is essential in modern day Iran. I'm disagreeing with your claim that it's to do with the temperature in summer.

Whether religious or cultural in origins, everyone, even you, would acknowledge that many women across the Muslim world have head/body coverings imposed upon them due to a belief in the imperative for women to act and dress modestly.

Yes, I agree with that. My point was that I think the imposition is based more on cultural grounds than religious grounds. I've always suspected that Muslim women cover up largely because historically their countries have been violent, uncivilized places where attractive women are a pretty good target.

They cover up because if they don't, the religious police will whip them.

Fúcking hell, do you live in a box, completely isolated from any means of educating yourself?
