Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami's hardline foes have expressed outrage over video footage circulating on the Internet which seems to show the former president shaking hands with several women on a recent trip to Italy.
According to Islam's Sharia law, it is forbidden for a man to have any physical contact with a woman to whom he is not related. Whether at home or on trips abroad, Iran's officials studiously avoid handshakes with females.
Khatami denied that he had shaken hands with any woman on his trip, asserting that the person in the video who appears to be wearing a dress was, in actuality, Pope Benedict XVI.
Current Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected Khatami’s explanation. “Whether it was the flesh of the infidel whores or the satanic infidel priest, Khatami has still defiled himself, Iran, and Islam,” Ahmadinejad charged. “We must cleanse this stain upon our nation and our faith.”
Ahmadinejad is said to be demanding that “the offending hand must be stricken from his body and the adulterous whores turned over to the Sharia Court for judgment.” “The blame is shared and so must the punishment be shared,” Ahmadinejad insisted. “The greater guilt belongs to those who have seduced a righteous Muslim man. But Khatami must also suffer for his weakness in the face of this fleshly temptation.”
