New mark on Ahmadinejad’s forehead?? Looks like a skin transplant of some kind, some dark skin. Some Muslin men have dark skin, taken from parts of the body where darker skin is normal. It is supposed to look like a callous which some very religious men get from banging their heads on the floor more than the required 5 times a day.

That's from indulging a new drink they serve in Tehran - the Mahmoud Headbanger.
