Dressing up for the mullahs!

Yesterday Emma Nicholson a member of the European Parliament, who represents the liberal democrats from England. Visited president Khatami, and reportedly briefed him about her “international campaign to boost dialogue among civilisations”. Emma Nicholson is reportedly in Teheran to participate in the “International Conference to Preserve Global Environment and Boost Dialogue among Civilisations”.

There are two things with Ms. Nicholson meeting with Khatami that caught my attention: first of all she decides to sit down with the Iranian president and discuss some project about “dialogue among civilisations”. The same day that Khatami’s government said that it would withdraw itself from the negotiations with the European Union, and restart their nuclear project.

Secondly, the way she dressed for the meeting with the president. I’ve searched the web after pictures of Ms. Nicholson, and I haven’t found any where she dresses up in black and covers up her hair. So there is no doubt that she’s dressed in a way that would satisfy Khatami, and the mullah regime. Emma Nicholson visit is big news in Iran; it’s not often that the regime can get a European female politician to obey their will. The Iranian news agency (IRNA) has Ms. Nicholsons visit as the top news of the day, with a picture of Ms. Nicholson sitting next to Khatami, dressed according to the countries “Islamic” law.

It’s a shame and a disgrace that while women in Iran are risking their lives fighting for their rights and freedom, a European politician does her outmost to appease the regimes request and wants.
