    Uh, aren’t we supposed to be the open-minded liberated ones, and they’re the cruelly repressed ones? In most of the world, kissing somebody, especially a kid, is seen as affectionate. It’s only tainted in our eyes because of the attention paid to the small number of despicable pedophile priests.

    Read Pedram’s comments.
    I’d say that in any culture, this is suspect.

    I am not gonna defend this guy in the picture, but three possibilities cross my mind considering the stature of this mullah (he wouldn’t need to show his sexual desires in a photo-op. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that this guy does these kinds of things off camera and behind the closed dooers, but letting others to take a picture ….
    Anyway, the three possibilities:
    a- this is a fabrication.
    b- this is an illusion resulting from converting a 3-dimentional object to a 2-dimentional picture.
    c- this tradition is accepted in that particular country, and we should not read too much into the picture.

    Jesus Christ, you people! He’s kissing the kid more or less on the mouth. He’s not french-kissing (freedom-kissing?) the kid, he’s kissing a pre-adolescent child on the mouth in a culture in which men kiss as a normal part of life.
    In other words, have you lost your freakin’ minds??! Better stay away from anywhere on the Mediterranian.

    Pedram posted a similar pic today, albeit with two adults rather than a child. He’s going for ratings during “sweeps week”.

    So this would make the priest a what? A radical islamofascist goathumping childmolester? What a job description. Trying to keep up with it would make your head hurt so much you’d wear an icepack on your head.
