TEHRAN, July 22 (MNA) -- The deputy director of the Qeshm Free Trade Zone Organization said on Thursday that a tourist and recreational complex for non-Muslims will be established on the Persian Gulf island of Qeshm.
Islamic law and some restrictions will not be enforced at the tourist complex, Ali-Akbar Einollahi told the Persian service of the Cultural Heritage News (CHN) agency.
He said that an agency named Marina, owned by an Iranian Christian woman, has obtained a license for the complex and a beach to be shared by men and women, which would be the first of its kind in Iran since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Iranian Muslims will not be allowed to enter the complex.
“We can promote tourism through this action by preventing Iranian non-Muslims as well as foreign tourists from spending their money at tourist resorts of nearby countries like Dubai (UAE),” Einollahi explained.
“The land for the complex has been transferred to the agency, and the plans are being prepared. Part of the cost will be covered by a long-term loan from Iran’s Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization,” he said in conclusion.
Idiot Mullahs ping!
Can you say "hostage farm"?
I first thought it said terrorists resort...
Boy, a vacation in Iran...just what I've always dreamed of.
Sure...they lure the infidels there use the island the same way we use Vieques...bombing practice!
No kidding! Can you say "Let's put all the Christians in one space." so we can ... attack them when we wish. I'll be there. NOT.
Uh huh.
I wonder how many dumb@sses actually will go there?
This will be one FR boycott that will be easy to join.
