Is there an example of a social norm that is acceptable in Iran, but would get you jailed in, say, Germany?

- fred_is_fred 10y agoStoning someone to death? Supporting terrorism? Plenty others I figure.
- gonvaled 10y agoSelling guns? Waterboarding? Bombing countries? Detaining people without due process? Of the top of my head.
- throwaway37993 10y agoAbuse of women? Raping your own wife etc.
- quirkafleeg 10y ago+4 karma so far (within 25 minutes of the account creation) for objectively stupid, offensive garbage like this. Unreal.

- aikah 10y ago> Wearing a burkini would get you in trouble in France, I hear. No, these city laws have been struck down by a higher authority. You can't wear a burka or a niqab though I still see women wearing that stuff in Paris suburbs, granted in places where 90% of the population is muslim and no non-muslim would dare live in.
- candiodari 10y agoSsh, the worldview of half of hacker news depends on believing that such neighbourhoods in Paris, or any other European city, are inclusive and tolerant, as opposed to the violently racist attitude you find there in reality. After all immigrants good, "that" religion good, it's all the fault of Mr. Trump, capiche ?

- aikah 10y agoAre we talking about social norms or the law in Iran ? because they are not the same thing. Are women required to cover their head in public in Iran, by law?
