In 19th century Persia, mustaches on women were a symbol of beauty. Princess Fatemeh Khanum "Esmat al-Dowleh" was the daughter of King Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, and one of his wives Taj al-Dowleh. Her father ruled Persia, modern-day Iran, from 1848 to 1896.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
