Iranian President Ahmadinejad in hot water for hugging Hugo Chavez’s mother

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was caught on camera in what some would call a “sinful” picture. The photo shows Ahmadinejad hugging the grieving mother of the late Venezuelan President Chavez. The photo was taken at Chavez’s funeral in Venezuela.

Now the president is under fire from his country’s clerics. Conservative Muslim leaders say the Iranian president’s behavior was forbidden, even calling it clowning around.
