Hug and Kiss

(Fox News) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been accused of indecency for a hug and a kiss on the hand of an elderly woman who was one of his schoolteachers. The hard-line Islamic newspaper Hezbollah ran a front-page story and wrote that the indecency would have grave consequences and broke Sharia law. The woman wore thick gloves and a headscarf and there was no skin contact. But Sharia law forbids a man to have any physical contact with a woman to whom he is not related.

This isn't the first time the Iranian president has been in hot water with hardliners. He was criticized heavily for his unsuccessful attempt to allow women to attend soccer matches.
