IRANI DANCER DETAINED



Iran's best known female dancer Farzaneh Kaboli and 24 of her students have been detained on charges of dancing in public - for an all-female audience.

That shows why the clerics are treated as fundamentalists. Performing folk dance of Iran to an all-female audience is a moral corruption? I wonder what these clerics think of culture. Loosing one's identity and being confined to their way of thinking is culture according to them I guess. I am so shocked.
