Ahmadinejad’s “Coincidental” Kiss
Kamangir | May 1, 2007 | Category Iran
Fars has a very heroic story.
This morning, while the elite Iranian teachers were meeting Ahmadinejad, a very fascinating event happened. Mrs. Najmeh Gholi Pour, Ahmadinejad’s first grade teacher, was brought in without his knowledge. So, at the middle of the ceremony, he knew her and honored her. He gave her a special gift and kissed her hands, which were covered with gloves. He said “it is a very emotional moment for me to meet my teacher. I’d love to seat and cry for an hour”.
Bahman looks at the story rather differently. The fact that kissing women is against the Islamic Sharia and the fact that “coincidentally” she was wearing gloves, makes him suspicious how much of a surprise this has been. More pictures here.

I am by no means an expert on Sharia law, but to my understanding, it is OK to touch a woman incidentally like this, if she is passed her fertility age? One for Sistani’s Q & A!
wow! they must watch Oprah’s program over there :-) …because she did a program where she would surprise some celebrities with their childhood teacher….
well! did she know that he was going to kiss that she had gloves on??..I bet you this was a stage photo op.
this news is on cover of Drudge News this morning
He fails to see that he’s promoting the same kind of stuff that Matt Drudge is. He is just interested by his own image.
I think they’re consulting Joseph Goebbelsfrom the proverbial ‘other side’. You know, after all, Ahmadinejad has this kind of supernatural powers.
serendip,
seems that you want to get the attention of the westerners and not iranians. Nobody know and even less care in Iran on who is Goebbels. Thats not how you will bring people to like R. Pah.
[...] May 3rd, 2007 by Lawrence Whiteberg There’s a poetic irony here somewhere: Iran’s hardline president Ahmadinejad under fire for kissing the hand of his old teacher. Actually, there was no skin contact, but it caused an uproar just the same. Danish news here, international here and a blog comment here. [...]
