#2 "It is considered strictly forbidden under Islam in Iran for a man to watch an unrelated woman dancing"

So Islam in Iran says you can't watch non-relatives dancing, but Islam in the Allah-topia says you can... what is it they do again?... with 72 non-relative virgins? But maybe I'm assuming too much regarding the "non-related" virgin thing (probably all look like the mirror, just for extra va-va-voom).

Or maybe Iranian Muslims don't get the virgins, or they only get the virgins who use their right hand, or maybe they get 72 Virgos, or...

Oh hell. Who can keep up with all the ins-and-outs of the Religion of Men Who Can't Control Their Own Manhood Peace?

(Mods- if this is deemed too offensive, I apologize. It didn't feel offensive when I wrote it, just accurately descriptive in a culturally insensitive and justifiably mocking tone - Hyper:)

You may only watch related women dancing. See your sister strip. Get a lap dance from your mother. Yep, sounds about right.

#4 Somehow, I am reminded of the ancient joke about the very devout religious conservatives who disapprove of sexual intercourse while standing... because it might lead to dancing!!!

#7 This is actually a political attack against Ahmadinutjob. Less than a month ago, at some political event out of the country, he *also* watched women dancing, and was videod.

This might mean that if they can take this guy down, it will open the door to challenging Mr Malicious.

#9 “Of course I clapped but not during that dance.”

Yes…during the dance it was more Zen-like…you know…one hand making a clapping noise.

#10 Hyper: You're nowhere near crossing a line with those comments on this board.

Would your comments be deemed offensive to the typical faculty meeting in any American college/university or a Democratic screening committee? I'm certain they would be. But this is the 'Burg.

Don't be shy. Go ahead and spread your wings.
