President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who flaunts his ideological fervour, has been accused of undermining Iran's Islamic revolution after television footage appeared to show him watching a female song and dance show.
The famously austere Mr Ahmadinejad has been criticised by his own allies after attending the lavish opening ceremony of the Asian games in Qatar, a sporting competition involving 13,000 athletes from 39 countries. The ceremony featured Indian and Egyptian dancers and female vocalists. Many were not wearing veils.
Women are forbidden to sing and dance before a male audience under Iran's Islamic legal code. Officials are expected to excuse themselves from such engagements when abroad but TV pictures showed Mr Ahmadinejad sitting with President Bashar Assad of Syria and Ismail Haniya, the Palestinian prime minister, during last Friday's ceremony in Doha.
Religious fundamentalists, usually Mr Ahmadinejad's keenest supporters, are asking why he attended a ceremony that violated his own government's strict interpretation of Shia Islam.

Off with his head!!
Pictures?
How about some good old fashioned muzzie punishment say, genital mutilation?
Poor President Rat Face. The first time in his life he shows an interest in women and he gets the smack down from his fellow Muzzie closet cases. I guess it's back to being into boys for ole Ratty Boy.
This is too cool! Think they'll give him a pass or fry him.
Lie down with dogs and you get up with flees. Classic.

That's what I think you call a target-rich environment.
"TV pictures showed Mr Ahmadinejad sitting with President Bashar Assad of Syria and Ismail Haniya, the Palestinian prime minister"
The three stooges. Why couldn't we get some of that polonium stuff delivered to their table? Missed opportunities.....
Reminds me of the fact that the 9/11 hijackers attend strip clubs shortly before they murdered 3,000 Americans.
The hardliners are going to roast him!
Monkey Boy caught spanking the monkey, huh?
"Many were not wearing veils."
Clearly, lewd and lascivious behavior. Just the image arouses me.
There goes his 72 virgins!
He deserves 50 lashes at least.
Citizen's Fatwa, Citizen's Fatwa!
Real moslems don't allow pictures.
