Hamas’ own charter describes itself as “one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.” And Hamas is committed to the destruction of Israel.

Iran’s Thug-in-Chief calls for government-approved clothing for women
Surely there are things the Iranian government has decided it can’t afford, but it can find the time and money for a “fashion show.” Islamic morality policing is a cheap, lazy political tool with which to look pious and busy, while reminding the public who is boss.
