their foray into the asphalt jungle.

I wonder if Cabellas would carry gear for this kind of camping. Next time I am there I will ask for some tent stakes that can handle sidewalks.

According to the Iman they are not allowed to "pitch tents" during Ramadan.

Earlier this month, brightly colored tents dotted the busiest thoroughfares of the city, the street medians and public parks.

The mullahs allow brightly colored tents? I'm surprised that's not punishable by being thrown off a cliff!

urban camping

This is an oxymoron. This is MSM PC for the koranimals who are victim of said book.

They are actually survivors (refugees) who exist in spite of Sharia law.

Homeless muslims, in other words.  The fact that they are not bulldozed into a mass grave is a really good sign.

For more than 10 years I have been thinking that a good business in some of our large urban tourist destinations would be multistory camping garages, with areas for tents, and areas for RV's and trailers. Variable rates, rest rooms and showers, good security, bring in more lower middle income families to see the sights and spend their money at restaurants, etc.

In the early afternoon hours before lunchtime, when the sun was fierce, Khorshidian pulled her chador tighter around her face and lifted her 2-year-old daughter, Shakibah, who stared with wide brown eyes at her mother.

With the child on her hip, she walked to a nearby spigot and filled a red plastic tub with water to soak rice for a later meal. For the time being, she would work on a tomato-based spaghetti sauce.

Her husband, a car mechanic named Zali Rezae, sauntered over with their 15-year-old son, who bore a striking resemblance to his dark-skinned, chisel-faced father.

Rezae asked his wife for a cup of tea. Khorshidian already had let the tea, or chai, steep for a good hour. She served her husband a glass on a dented silver tray.

"We do what we want. It's vacation. The weather's nice at night and the children enjoy sleeping under a tent," Rezae said, attempting to sip his too-hot tea. "We do this every year and it's great."

But the city government and park rangers don't share the same rosy opinion. They call the tent-dwellers a burden and complain about misuse of public space.

This type of temporary camping in the cities is typical of the pilgrimage towns - I suppose Iranians have made it a custom everywhere.
