The Iranian vice-president in charge of tourism on Sunday faced calls for his sacking after girls danced with the Koran during a ceremony staged by his ministry, media reported.

...

At a ceremony in Tehran on November 8 on foreign investment in Iran's tourism industry, a dozen dancing girls clad in traditional clothes brought the Islamic holy book to the narrator on a tray.

Official ceremonies in the Islamic republic often begin with a recitation of excerpts from the Koran, but the fact that the book was carried to the narrator by dancing girls went down badly with many influential figures.

Mehdi Jahangari, Mashaie's deputy who organized the ceremony, resigned on Saturday. He defended his action by saying that "bringing the Koran on a tray is part of the traditions of the people in western Iran."

...

Laleh Eftekhari, who heads the "Koran" parliamentary group in the conservative dominated legislature, has asked President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to immediately fire Mashaie, Fars news agency reported on Sunday.

Conservative groups the Bazaar Islamic association and the Islamic Coalition Party, through its chairman Mohammad Nabi Habibi, denounced the "insult to the Koran" in separate open letters.

Two senior clerics, the Grand Ayatollahs Lotfollah Safi Golpayegani and Nasser Makarem Shirazi have condemned the ceremony.

"The insult to Koran is not acceptable," Ayatollah Golpayegani said on Wednesday, adding Mashaie "is not competent for the position."

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

twice!

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Translation: Nejad wants to replace Mashaie (notice the name appears a lot like the common in India/Pakistan name of "Masih") with one of his toadies, so uses a bakvas charge like this.
