Iranian website goes on strike over country's loose hijabs
Editors of the religious information website Shiaonline.com have had enough... and they're making sure people know. The object of their anger: Iranian women who nonchalantly let their hijabs hang loosely from the back of their heads. Or worse still, those who don't even make an effort to cover up tight-fitting clothes.

According to them, this 'carelessness' merits a 24 hour strike. As a result, their site was inaccessible on Thursday. And just to be absoutely clear, they helpfully illustrated their welcome page with a blurred photo of a woman's plunging neckline, open coat and long, blonde hair - exactly how you shouldn't appear in public, apparently.
