Ahmadinejad accused of indecency
President Ahmadinejad kisses his teacher's hand
The gesture that got Mahmoud Ahmadinejad into trouble
Iran's president has come under fire from a conservative newspaper after he publicly kissed the hand of a woman who used to be his school teacher.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a conservative by the standards of Iranian politics, was attacked by the Hezbollah newspaper for acting "contrary to Sharia law".

It accused him of "indecency and violating religious values".

The elderly woman at the centre of the controversy was wearing thick gloves, a headscarf, and a long black coat.

Ahmadinejad, better known in the west for his fiery anti-Israel rhetoric and his staunch defence of Iran's nuclear program, has been criticised in the past by ultra-conservative elements in Iran.

His once suggested that women should be allowed to watch football matches. This proved highly controversial and was turned down.

Pfft. Are they afraid the sport of running around and kicking a ball is too violent for women? Here in the states, we let our women watch OUR football, which uses a less spherical ball and involves tackles that would normally paralyse, if not kill, your average unarmored Joe.

I've been called an extremist for not liking the idea of extremely late-term abortians. These guys are nutjobs. Next thing you know, they're going to be against sexual intercourse with your spouse for the sole purpose of reproduction.

I don't think they're afraid that it's too violent. I just think they want to keep their women away from sweaty athletic guys in shorts.

Yeah. Women are attracted to sweaty athletic guys in shorts. Lotsa pheromones out there.

He doesn't have to worry about Allah. He has to worry about the mullahs who allow him to run the place.

They might be peeved enough to have him shot.

Well it's obvious. The intensity of soccer is just far to intense for the less-intense minds of the females to comprehend... intensely. :P

They seem to have a problem with women watching men play sports though.
