Bush really has remade the modern Middle East

Posted by Sini

Following his rather successful attempts to purge Iran of gay teens Iran's President Ahedminajad is going after evil rock music. Is there nothing he will stop at to match right wing Republicans' agenda? Bush has succeeded in that remaking quest: he has strengthened a theocracy and made it a model for our Madonnaless future: with extraordinary presidential powers, gay hangings and all.

One senior Iranian cleric, Ayatollah Mohammadali Movahedi Kermani, said the ``traditional'' Persian music he saw on a state television program failed to reach the standards demanded by religious law.

``(An official) said this was traditional music, God's punishment be upon him,'' he was quoted as saying by the ISNA students news agency.

``Have we been created by Allah to have fun? They are wasting people's time with leisure and idle pastimes,'' he added.
