Ahmadnijad (the Iranian President) is getting slammed by the religious clerics and other Muslims for?

Completely different part of the world. They're way of life is waaaay different than anything we have ever had to endure. plus he wasn't just holding the hand of Chavez's mother he gave her a hug to console her. (probably out of respect for the beliefs of the people of Venezuela being a predominantly Christian nation.) He consoled her like we console each other after someone has lost a loved one. and In the middle east that's a big no no. Something or other to do with having physical contact with a woman whom he was not directly related to. that's not the only thing that has the people of Iran peeved at the president. he was also photographed kissing the lid of the casket. again that is something a lot of people do on this side of the ocean that is considered obscene in the middle east... he knew what he was doing but was mostly planning it out as a political gesture to win over the people of Venezuela. much like our own world leaders here like to do when they visit another country... Ahmadnijad was not thinking about the repercussions of his actions at the time and that was a bad move on his side... so if anything the people of Iran do have a reason to be extremely mad at him for his actions, because if anyone in their country was caught doing the same thing they would probably face time in prison, no short stint either. those people are mad crazy with their strict laws that are solely based off of their religious beliefs.

If I was Hugo's mum I wouldn't want that nasty little retard touching me either.
