L’Elysée n’a pas voulu commenter les informations, diffusées lundi 9 novembre, par RTL selon lesquelles l’organisation de cette visite bute sur le refus de la partie iranienne de participer à un repas officiel, au cours duquel serait proposée une sélection de vins français, comme le veut l’usage, alors que la consommation d’alcool est prohibée par l’islam.

Google Translate yields: The Elysée declined to comment on the information, released Monday, November 9, RTL whereby the organization of this visit comes up against the refusal of the Iranian party to participate in an official dinner, during which would be offered a selection of french wines, as is customary, when alcohol consumption is prohibited by Islam.

So there was nothing about Halal meat - the Iranians just can't bear to be at a table where anyone, even a Frenchman, is drinking wine.

But never fear -- Barack O'bama will be nice to these fascist and then they'll become nice to all of us.

The Iranians were likely pissed because they weren’t offered a good quality scotch whiskey as a choice. I know Iranians.

The Muslim men only drink alcoholic beverages behind closed doors and in strip joints and whore houses.

Merci to my high-school French teacher.

It’s been three decades, but I was actually able to understand that!

A little legalism that the followers of Mohammed Ali pull -

What the Koran says is, “Let not one drop of wine pass your lips.”

So when served a drink with any alcohol, the observant Muslim will dip the pinkie of the right hand into the drink, raise their right hand away from the table, and let the drop of alcoholic drink fall upon the ground. Thus, with the proscription of the Koran strictly observed, the rest of the drink may be sipped with great relish.

Or when they have an upcoming “act of atonement” that they believe will wash clean their transgressions.
