Iran: Revelry On A Hot Day In Tehran Condemned As "Un-Islamic," Participants Fear Reprisals
Authorities are applying Khomeini’s pronouncement to the letter: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
“Iranians stage ‘water fight’ in Tehran,” by Dudi Cohen for YNet News, August 1:
Men, women, and children of all ages beat the heat in Tehran on Friday with a water fight at the city’s Water and Fire Park, drawing criticism from conservatives for their “immodest” behavior and dress.
Local police threatened to arrest the revelers after press agencies published numerous photos of the event.
The park’s manager said the water fight had been coordinated. He added that many of the women’s headdresses fell victims to the splashing water, “but police couldn’t get control of those involved”.
Only after authorities halted the water flow – some three hours later – did the battle stop, the park manager said.
Tehran Police Chief Hussain Sajedinia was quick to condemn the merrymaking in a country in which young men and women are strongly discouraged to mix.
He said a number of people had tried to recreate the water fight on Sunday, behaving in a manner “that opposes Islamic values and social order”. He added that police arrested the participants before they could get started.
Iranians generally refrain from holding coed events in public, as Islamic code prohibits it. However this code has been broken a number of times, especially during the summer, which in Iran can manifest in temperatures of up to 38 degrees Celsius.
Pictures from the water fight have been uploaded to a number of different social websites, causing some concern for participants whose faces can be seen clearly, as many fear reprisals from authorities.

Pamela Geller’s EDL Ally Called for Execution of Political and Religious Leaders
English Defence League leader discussed killing David Cameron

Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have been unstinting in their support for the English Defence League, even after their thuggish neo-Nazi connections were exposed.
Here’s a report at the Guardian on EDL leader Alan Lake, and his online essay calling for the torture and execution of David Cameron and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/jul/30/alan-lake-english-defence-league
On 23 May 2010, Alan Lake posted on his 4 Freedoms website an article outlining his belief that “in 20 or 30 years the UK will start to fragment into Islamic enclaves”. He went on: “It’s time we decide… who we will force in the Islamic enclaves (and who we will execute if they sneak out.) By forcing these liberal twits into those enclaves, we will be sending them to their death at worst, and at best they and their families will be subjected to all the depredations, persecution and abuse that non-Muslims worldwide currently ‘enjoy’ in countries like Pakistan… It will be great to see them executed or tortured to death.”
Lake urged visitors to the site to contribute the names of people who should be sent to the Islamic enclaves and made three of his own suggestions. He suggested that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, should be a candidate on the grounds that he “approves of the creation and use of sharia courts”. David Cameron, he explained, should be included in the discussion “to help refine our criteria about who deserves to die at the hands of the Muslim overlords”. He also included Nick Clegg on the grounds that he is “such an angelic and pure person that he upholds various ‘human rights’ issues more important than plebeian matters of public safety”.
Soon after his posting, Lake removed the references to execution and torture. “I took it back after one day,” he said. “I said, ‘This doesn’t help.’ I’m not perfect, I will make mistakes. But the fundamental point of that piece is correct. I am holding people responsible for the consequences of their actions.”
