In Iran, a society where women are not allowed to go out in public with scarves and body coverings, a Judical official is now saying Barbie Dolls and other Western cultural items are posing a threat. Some of the Barbie Dolls may have bikinis and this is very disturbing to a country where men and women cannot even swim together. In the 90's the Iranian government even went so far into saying that Barbie and other Western culture were a Trojan Horse planted by the West into Iran. In 2002 they even tried confiscating the dolls from store shelves but that was shut down as it did not really stem the tide of dolls into the country. The Iranian officials want to keep Western values and symbols away from their youth to preserve their way of life.
