Why Is It Possible for Political Meeting?

TEHRAN (Asremrooz): women’s entrance in gym has been always a great issue in Iran. Women’s reaction in this issue in Khatami’s term caused that they entered in Azadi gym for watching football game. It is occurred when he and his accompanies were going to enter there and he faced with some girls. He allowed them to enter and watch Iran-Bahrain match in Azadi stadium. In addition it, women were present in the celebration of qualifying the national ‘team in world cup.
Of course, this issue has been investigated by Ahmadinejad and his cabinet but some believed that watching men’s body by women is not true.
Ahmadinejad in response to this question in a scholar meeting said “coming to Azadi Stadium and watching a match takes 2 hours. In addition to cost of eating she must buy ticket too. Watching a match takes two hours. On the other hand, football players’ clothes including athletic shorts and socks are suitable and the small part of their knees are uncover. Is it reasonable that woman come to the stadium in order to watch their knees? These are against Iranians’ women”.
Iranian’s women have been present in the stadium several times without invitation (after returning football team from Australia, in Iran and Germany match sitting in the yellow chairs devoted reporters and Iran and Bahrain match in Khatami’s term).
Of course, this ban is removed whenever politically need the presence of women in the stadium for their meeting.
We were witness when the women are not allowed to enter in stadium, they have been invited for political meeting and even it was including dance and immoral acts.
Presence of women in the stadium with men in Islamic countries is Haram but this issue must accompany by fair.
