Ahmadinejad accused of indecency

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.

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

[This is so funny. Take a look at the picture. It's not like he is attracted to the lady. He is paying his respects to her.]

Well look here, looks like Sharia law may not be 100% evil. if it gets that fucker ousted, and hopefully lashed publically, then that will make it only 99.99999999996% evil. I know big bird loves sharia law.
