Reminiscent? How About "Do-Over"?

Iran's parliament passed a new law this week that would force Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear color-coded ID badges.

The 25,000 Jews living in the Islamic Republic would have to attach a yellow strip of cloth to their clothing. Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would wear blue ones.

This is reminiscent of the Holocaust, said Rabbi Marvin Hier, head of the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles. Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis.
