do you recall some years ago about videos of foreign pilgrim's to Mashhad and some houses there ? did you forget the protest it resulted.? so again don't ever think Iranian are above such things , specially with this economic situations ? by the way there are some documentary by some famous revolutionary and principalist film maker about these things if you want i can post their links here
I especially remember how the BBC, Manoto and similar media tried to create antagonism between Iranians and Iraqis by telling both that pilgrims of the other nationality come to their country for siqeh. While it's obvious that when you have literally many millions of pilgrims, inevitably you'll find some dubious ones among them, but it's not remotely as widespread as anti-Iran propaganda media have been trying to suggest with the ostensible goal of undermining brotherly ties between Iraq and Iran.
Also you're seemingly misinterpreting my comment, for I didn't claim Iranians are above such things and I'm also aware of less religious Iranians who travel to Pattaya and Krung Thep for obvious reasons. Modern day mass tourism as a whole is a social scourge if I'm asked.
I stated the law should be the same for all and that therefore, there can be no tolerance for massive infringement of legislation relating to intimate relationships. We can't deliberately invite on Iranian soil people of whom we know in advance that the
extreme majority among them -
unlike pilgrims, are accustomed to engaging in these illegal and un-Islamic activities, and for whom a holiday without these is simply unbearable - again unlike the majority of religious pilgrims. So it'd be irresponsible and shameful to encourage them to stay in Iran knowing full well what their customs are and how much they tend to conflict with Islamic Iranian law.
Furthermore, while siqeh is theoretically legal although largely frowned upon including and especially by religious people, extra-marital relations have no legal basis at all. Non-Muslim men have no legal possibility nor loophole whatsoever to contract casual intimate relationships in Islamic Iran.
come on don't be naïve . no country around Persians gulf consume as much alcohol as Iran .
Nonetheless it is and will stay illegal and it's absurd to invite foreigners among whom alcohol consumption is much more widespread than among Iranians, and whose needs you won't be able to satisfy other than by deliberately permitting outlaw dealers to sell them such beverages.
and i yet to see any high class hotel that don't serve it to its foreign guests, they are just need to be discreet .
No hotel is serving alcohol to guests in Iran. If anything, individual employees among hotel staff might be conducting illicit trade for personal profit, but this has nothing much to do with the hotel itself, nor are such practices condoned by the management. Any establishment proceeding with such activities in an organized and systematic fashion is going to get heavily sanctioned if not shut down.
in hospital when I'm at night shift , its drunk fights that we have to treat not to people who disagree on price of a refrigerator. if Iranian can get it that easy then be assured its far easier for foreigners.
It isn't easier for foreigners to procure illicit substances. A foreigner generally doesn't speak the local language and doesn't know any locals. Besides, it's the same issue once again: a state which allows people to enter its territory while being perfectly aware that the extreme majority are going to break the law, and that law enforcement will thus need to be instructed to turn a blind eye, is at risk of not being taken seriously.
you can put it at the sole of your shoe ,
We're talking not a few grams of narcotics but a knife, and probably quite a long one at that since it enabled a 14 year old to martyr two and seriously wound a third person in a matter of seconds and with a limited number of slashes.
