Image of Ahmadinejad consoling Chavez

The image drew the immediate fury of Tehran's religious conservatives. “No unrelated women can be touched unless she is drowning at sea or needs medical treatment," Hojat al-Islam Hossein Ibrahimi, a cleric at the Society of Militant Clergy, said


A supreme and perfect example of how stupidly ignorant an extreme belief in religion can be.

And to be clear here, I am saying that there are plenty of people with christian beliefs that are equally as stupid as the quoted example.
 
It'd be something if the mouthpiece turned on his masters. If we turn him, overthrowing the regime and a transition would become much more easy.
 
He should argue that comforting a mother that just lost her child is medicine for the brain. That should get the koran-thumpers off his back.

Did he stick a finger up her ass or something?
 
Good for Ahmadinejad, i rarely cheer his actions on but this one for some reason i can get behind just because he pissed off the ultra orthodox members.
 
l cant say l like nejad and other mullahs but l believe he has sincerity in politics ..

I don't care much if they're ultra orthodox or new age commie, they're a tyrannical backwards dictatorship pursuing a rogue nuke program instead of food, roads, schools, and human rights to the great detriment of the people. They need to be overthrown and a democratic movement nurtured with a removal of sanctions and with major development projects and incentives. Iran as a 'preferred trade partner' could develop rapidly.
 
democracy like this

Hosing hippies down with something now and then is a public safety measure, they don't bath.

Ummm, no, I'm not aware of any Christian who believes that a woman, unrealated to them, cannot be touched, unless she is drowning at sea, or needs medical treatment. They may abstain from having a sexual or romantic relationship with her, but they don't see her as "unclean" and beneath their good will.

How do you read that I said there are chrisitians who believe the exact same thing as those muslim clerics?

Where did I say such a thing?

Yeah, a (not too bright) egomaniac tyrant forgot to consult with the Holy Inquisition, before another routine photo-op. All sincere socialists in the world should be doing somersaults.

Most religions have their peccadillos. Here is a sample of our homegrown version.

<The Rev. Matthew Harrison asked the Rev. Rob Morris, pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Newtown, Conn., to apologize for participating in a public interfaith vigil with President Obama two days after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at the town’s elementary school.>

The 'no touching' thing seems pretty stupid, but that's their belief. I think it's quite common amongst Hindus and some Buddhists too. Probably amongst Hassidim as well.

Here's the kicker though, apparently the image of him hugging the lady was photoshopped. Seems it was some part of an internal campaign to discredit him at home. Poetic justice, if you ask me.

Photoshopped or not?

The one of him embracing the man actually looks kinda photo shopped. I wonder if Iran is learning to fight fire with fire when it comes to American grade propaganda? /sarcasm
