WOMEN SPORTS SPECTATORS MAY CAUSE SUICIDE BOMBINGS

Oddly, Iranian President Ahmadinejad favours overturning the ban on female spectators at sporting events:
"The best stands should be allocated to women and families in the stadiums in which national and important matches are being held," he said.
Unfortunately, Ahmadinejad has been outvoted:
The supreme leader of Iran has vetoed a ruling by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that would have allowed women to attend major sporting events.

Six grand ayatollahs and several MPs had protested against Mr Ahmadinejad's move, saying it violated Islamic law for a woman to look at the body of a male stranger.

One MP had said if the reformists had tried the move there would have been suicide bombers protesting on the streets of Tehran.
Suicide bombing as a form of protest. What next, suicide bomber clowns for birthday celebrations?

Is this another example of the 'progressive ideas' constituency that Clinton was referring to in Iran.
