How's this for a police chief???

He doesn't have to just uphold the law, he has to uphold the koran....

The head of Iran's police has attacked Western countries for giving gay people rights and criticised opponents of Sharia Law.

Speaking at Friday prayer service in Tehran last week, General Ismail Ahmadi Moghadam said that nations that tolerate homosexuality "challenge God's law and deny spirituality."

There has recently been crackdown on "moral crime" in the Islamic republic.

Iranian police and militia known as basiji have launched a nationwide operation against people they accuse of deviating from official standards of dress or behaviour.

General Moghadam told the semi-official Mehr News Agency in April that law enforcement agents detained 150,000 people during the campaign and forced the majority of them to sign "commitment letters," to observe official dress codes before being released.
