The power of bacon compels you.
Via Daily Caller:
The demand for bacon, and by extension freedom, has created a large underground market in Iran, despite severe consequences if caught.
Pork meat and alcohol are illegal products for Muslims to consume in Iran. The Christian minority — made up of about 300,000 Armenians and Assyrians — can buy pork in certain stores. But for Muslims, the consequences can be severe if they are caught with a slice of bacon in their mouths.
“If you get caught by the modesty patrol, the religious police, you face fines, potentially corporal punishment,” Emanuele Ottolenghi, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “There are unpleasant consequences for people getting caught … it has to do more with how strict the enforcement [of the] modesty patrol is.”
Authorities tried to deter people from consuming pork with propaganda, including a recent physicians report that pork consumption leads to miscarriages among women.
