Kissing in the Streets of Tehran

Kiss_1

From the AP: "An Iranian policewoman, second left, (back to camera) watches as two Iranian friends kiss before restraining them on a street in Tehran, Iran Saturday April 22, 2006. Iran's Islamic authorities are preparing a crackdown on women flouting the stringent dress code. Police in Tehran will be under orders to arrest women failing to conform to Iran's definition of Istamic morals by wearing loose-fitting hijab, or headscarves, tight jackets and shortened trousers exposing skin."

I was in Dubai last month. I was having dinnner one night at a place right next to a Tennis stadium that sometimes is used for concerts. By chance that day there was a concert staged by Iranian DJs, and the scene was awesome. Thousands of young Iranians More femals than males) all dressed in hip, revealing clothes. Couples all over each other. Outrages outfits. I could not believe it!
