This gathering violated Islamic norms because boys and girls were both present, and some girls had their heads uncovered.
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini
“Iranian Teens Arrested For ‘Violating Religious Norms’ At Skateboarding Gathering,” Radio Farda, June 24, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A viral video of male and female teenagers at a skateboarding day in the southern city of Shiraz has angered Iranian officials, who have arrested 10 participants for their role in the event.
The video, which was posted on social media on June 23, shows several teenagers of both sexes mixing freely on a boulevard in Shiraz to mark “Go Skateboarding Day.”
Many have publicly criticized the restrictions and a large number of the females in the video were not wearing headscarves.
The Mehr news agency reported, quoting Shiraz Governor Lotfollah Sheibani, that “so far 10 people who organized the event have been arrested.”…
“The actions of the teenagers in this gathering are a violation of religious norms, and we strongly condemn these actions and deal with them judicially” he added….
Iranian media reported last weekend that police had arrested 120 people for alleged “criminal acts,” including drinking alcohol, mixed-sex dancing, and not wearing a hijab at a party in a forest in the country’s north.
