Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Under Fire For "Indecent" Kiss
Source: AHN

Despite the fact that the teacher, who has not been named, was wearing thick gloves, a headscarf, and long black coat to prevent skin contact, Ahmadinejad's kiss still generated anger among Iran's hardline elements.

The ultra-conservative Hezbollah newspaper blasted Ahmadinejad for his actions, saying the kiss violates Sharia law, which forbids a man to have any physical contact with a woman to whom he is not related.

The newspaper said on its front page, "The Muslim Iranian people have no recollection of such acts contrary to Sharia law during Islamic rule."

"This type of indecency progressively has grave consequences, like violating religious and sacred values," the paper added.

4. What is these people's
preoccupation with physical contact??. Religion has so demonised sex and physical affection that in some of these countries you can be jailed for looking at a woman the wrong way or vice versa. One of the many benefits that dogged religious doctrine has gifted us with.

9. As easy as that?
You mean instead of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Iranians in the HOPE of effecting regime change all one has to do is spray lots of powerful pheromones(Tag for women) on nearby crowds, perhaps have an female agent with a burka designed with Janet Jackson tearaway material and plenty of cameras on hand and ...


Voila. Impeachment followed by stoning and beheading. No wonder they want the(any) religious right to take over American democracy. Send Bill Clinton in to bolster Mr. Scarlet A. That should send a signal too.

Saving millions of lives millions of gallons of oil that would go up in smoke, lots and lots of money and reputation and all the %^&*$#%^&^%$ transparent lies that go into a big Bush production.

This world is plain nuts, but on the other hand Mr. A's internal enemies may just have discovered Monica's veil already.

"I did not have kissing relations with that woman..."


The good news is, this probably takes some of the heat off Richard Gere:
