It appears that my earlier report about Iran forcing Jews to wear identification badges was incorrect. I feel a little dirty making a correction that benefits the reputation of Iran, however slightly, but the truth is the truth.

The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
From what I can gather, the specifics of what christians, jews, or zoroastrians will wear shall be decided by committee. The traditional badges marking religious minorities will be an administrative detail settled later. In other words, no further legislation will be necessary. That makes the original law true enough for my outrage meter.
