Tehran, YJC. Makarem Shirazi says the lack of hijab is propagated by Western media to corrupt Islamic societies.
Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi who was speaking at a
meeting with the Basij commander Mohammad Reza Naqdi on Thursday said that
women’s disregard for the Islamic dressing code is aggravated by Western
interference.
"There is the hand of global arrogance behind all cultural
and ethical anomalies. The enemies of Islam have made plans to Westernize Islamic
societies,” the ayatollah said.
He added "Virtually all households that have unchecked
access to satellite channels are somehow afflicted with corruption and other
problems. That is why the evils of satellite channels have to be explained to
people.”
"Islam enjoys a rich, comprehensive culture. If we plan
things well, much can be done,” he further said.
