Iran's former, so-called "reformist" president, Mohammad Khatami, may be barred from preaching within Iran.
That may not be a bad thing.
AKI reports two separate lawsuits urged a religious tribunal to strip Khatami of his clerical rights within the Islamic Republic.
One lawsuit was filed by talabeh, conservative theological students in Mashhad, the other by Hezbollah, the paramilitary militia.
Khatami's crime is that he was allegedly seen shaking the hands of two women during a recent visit to Italy. Hardline clerics reportedly likened Khatami to a "political prostitute."
The Baran foundation of Khatami denied the crime, saying either the video was doctored or he shook hands with people in the crowd, not realising they were women.
Iran is a tough place! You can't look at, touch or talk to women and if you do it accidentally, because you can't tell the difference between a man and a woman, then its a punishable offence.
We'll all be so much better off when the Persian Empire rises again!
