Iran and religious minorities

UPI quotes a report in the National Post as the source for this report on Iran's proposed law concerning religous minorities:

Iran's parliament passed a new law this week that would force the country's Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear color-coded ID badges.

Iranian expatriates confirmed reports the Iranian parliament, or majlis, has approved a law that would require non-Muslims to adhere to a dress code which mandates they wear "standard Islamic garments," according to Canada's National Post.

The roughly 25,000 Jews living in the Islamic Republic would have to attach a yellow strip of cloth to their clothing, Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would wear blue ones.

Normally, the invocation of the word "Nazi" is covered by Godwin's Law: the conversation is over. In this case, the use of the term is fully justified.

Hat tip to Hit and Run, where at least one commenter thinks the news item is a hoax. I rather hope he's right.
