Dance performance at Ahvaz (Iran) creates an uproar
As India debates whether it's "ethical" to flash pictures of two Bollywood stars locking their lips, Iran faces "conservative" rage at a "vulgar and un-Islamic" dance performance.
From iranian.com:
A dance performance at the closing ceremony of a theater festival in the southern city of Ahvaz has caused an uproar. Conservatives have denounced the show as vulgar and un-Islamic. "An example of American democracy," said Ayatollah Makkarem Shirazi. Minister of Culture Ahmad Masjed Jameie, who is facing possible impeachment by the conservative-controlled parliament, has sacked the Iran Zamin (Land of Iran) festival diretor and called for the "punishment of violators."
