The image drew the immediate fury of Tehran's religious conservatives. “No unrelated women can be touched unless she is drowning at sea or needs medical treatment," Hojat al-Islam Hossein Ibrahimi, a cleric at the Society of Militant Clergy, said
Good for Ahmadinejad, i rarely cheer his actions on but this one for some reason i can get behind just because he pissed off the ultra orthodox members.

A supreme and perfect example of how stupidly ignorant an extreme belief in religion can be.
And to be clear here, I am saying that there are plenty of people with christian beliefs that are equally as stupid as the quoted example.
Hosing hippies down with something now and then is a public safety measure, they don't bath.
Jews?

Ummm, no, I'm not aware of any Christian who believes that a woman, unrealated to them, cannot be touched, unless she is drowning at sea, or needs medical treatment. They may abstain from having a sexual or romantic relationship with her, but they don't see her as "unclean" and beneath their good will.

The 'no touching' thing seems pretty stupid, but that's their belief. I think it's quite common amongst Hindus and some Buddhists too. Probably amongst Hassidim as well.
Here's the kicker though, apparently the image of him hugging the lady was photoshopped. Seems it was some part of an internal campaign to discredit him at home. Poetic justice, if you ask me.
Photoshopped or not?
Yeah, a (not too bright) egomaniac tyrant forgot to consult with the Holy Inquisition, before another routine photo-op. All sincere socialists in the world should be doing somersaults.
