 Women who are not properly veiled: an outrage, a provocation. Dousing 
women with acid for being not properly veiled: pleasing to Allah. 

“Alarming rates of acid attacks in Iran back on the rise,” Al Arabiya, March 20, 2017:

After almost a year of calm, spraying people with burning
acid has returned in Iran where a family of four has been attacked on
Saturday in Sharada, within Isfahan province, Iran’s top tourist
destination.

Last month, unidentified people also attacked two women in Maashour,
within the Ahwaz province, according to Iranian news agencies.

Isfahan’s Investigative Police Chief Sitar Khasraoui said in press
statement that the families were taken to the hospital to treat the
burns. The family consists of the father, 53, the mother, 48, the son,
23, and the daughter, 20. Both parents are said to be in critical
condition….

Reports on social networks have claimed that the victims were doused
on the face and body because they were not properly veiled. They were
targeted by assailants on motorcycles.
