Fines for western haircuts?or nail polish?.

Yes, sometimes when they are at peak. And sometimes even chasing the so called immoral people results in the death of the victim

Lol What do you expect from Islamic regimes like KSA, and Iran where religious clerics/mullahs hold power or influence government decisions in all spheres of their people's life?

The Word Rich should help you understand. No one can touch rich people. No matter how Islamic they are there can always be bribes they take.

The clip dated long ago at least 10 years I think .... there was no harsh or crack down in those clips , people were gently advised to follow the dress code ... by the way people should have right to wear whatever they want it's silly to force people .

You mean in your country people could walk naked in streets and they don't face any fine or prison?

Let me mention a few points.

1) The first clip is from MemriTV. Memri is an Israeli think thank. The whole point of its organization is to find clips from Muslim media to present them in a specific light to be able to manipulate the viewers perception of that nation. Whenever you see any clip with Memri attached to it, be very wary, because you are falling into their trap.

Here are some clips of Memri regarding Pakistan.

Imagine you are a non-Pakistani, and are exposed to those select clips. After 30 minutes, you'll think that Pakistanis are all terrorists and Taliban supporters.

Here are some select Pakistani articles,

2) As @raptor22 mentioned, the clip is from 2007, meaning it is now almost a decade. Why are you posting a decade old video?

Now more importantly,

3) Calling them "Morality Police" sounds scary because the west has trained us to make it seem scary. But the concept of Morality in Law is not new or unique to the world.

A lot of laws that exists in ALL countries have to do with morality. Pornography is banned in many countries. If I am not mistaken, I am sure it is banned in both Pakistan (your nationality) and in Malaysia (your host country). If someone sells **** DVDs in their shop, and Pakistani or Malaysian police come and arrest them, doesn't this mean that the police were a morality police in this case?

The term "morality police" is incorrect for that particular force in Iran, because that's not how their name translates. The name in Iran is "گشت ارشاد" which is read as Gasht-e Ershad. Gasht translates best as "Patrol". Ershad is "Guidance". So the literal translation would be "Guidance Patrol". So why doesn't most Western media use such terms?

A country is allowed to create the sort of laws the people want. Why are we all expected to create our society in the exact shape that the west wants us to?

Do you know how much some of these laws, which might seem silly to outsiders, has actually helped the progress of Iran? Let me give you an example. During Shah's time, there was no such laws. There was more of a western law. Good, right? Freedom, liberty, hooray? So what happened after the revolution happened?

This will surprise you, because it doesn't initially make sense. There was a HUGE boom in female literacy, female going to universities, and being more prominent in society.

How? Doesn't make sense right?

Well, if you understand a society, it makes perfect sense. Iran was a very conservative society (and it still is). So to many conservative families, specially in smaller towns or villages, they did not feel comfortable sending their girls to Tehran for education & work when all they saw was girls wearing miniskirts, going to discos, etc. But when revolution happened, these same conservative families suddenly felt more comfortable letting their girls go.

So applying a western legal system did not work on an eastern society. But a legal system that was in tune with the needs of the society (this is democracy, by the way) produced amazing results.
