Iran: Chief of moral Police arrested in brothel with six prostitutes

* Prostitution scandals do not only happen in the U.S. In Tehran the Islamic hypocrisy is astounding, but also exhilarating.

* Or perhaps the good fellow was only trying to emulate his prophet:

Narrated Qatadah: Anas Bin Malik (RA) said, “The Prophet (s) used to visit all his wives in a round, during a day and night and they were eleven in number. I asked Anas, “Had the Prophet (s) the strength for it?” Anas replied, we used to say that The Prophet (s) was given the strength of 30 (men)”
“Sahih al Bukhari” Volume. (I). Book (5): “The book of Bathing” Chapter (13)

Tehran, 10 March (AKI) - Tehran’s police chief, Reza Zarei, has been arrested after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, according to report on the Iranian Farda News.

Farda News is a website said to be close to the mayor of Tehran and former chief of the police forces, Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf.

Following the raid, Zarei stepped down from his post as police chief. The news of his arrest however was not reported by any official Iranian news agency.

According to a popular Iranian website Gooya, the order to raid the brothel was given directly by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, chief of the judicial authorities.

Before he was arrested, Zarei was in charge of the programme for the ‘moralisation of the city’.

It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of behaviour.
