Iran media brands Sarkozy's wife as 'prostitute' |
2010-08-30 |
[Pak Daily Times] Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been branded a 'prostitute' by Iran after she publicly attacked the country for threatening to stone a woman to death. France's First Lady is part of a campaign to save the life of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two. She is accused of cheating on her husband and then helping to kill him, and is now facing capital punishment for her crimes. Ms Bruni-Sarkozy, who became President Nicolas Sarkozy's third wife two years ago, has signed a petition calling for Sakineh's release. Last week the former supermodel said: 'I just can't see what good could come out of this macabre ceremony, whatever the judicial reasons put forward to justify it.' But Kayhan (which means 'Universe' in English), the Iranian daily newspaper which acts as a mouthpiece for the country's regime, has now accused 42-year-old Ms Bruni-Sarkozy of being a hypocrite. An editorial in the paper points to her chequered love life, which has included numerous relationships with high-profile celebrities. Entitled 'French prostitutes join the human rights protest,' the article singles out Ms Bruni-Sarkozy and Isabelle Adjani, the French actress and friend of the First Lady who is also calling for Sakineh's release. Kayhan aims to 'defend the ideology of the Islamic Revolution' and is directly under the supervision of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government. Iranian state television also attacked Ms Bruni-Sarkozy for her support for Sakineh, saying she was using it to try and justify her own immorality. The Elysee Palace had no formal reaction to the slurs in the Iranian media, but an insider said Ms Bruni-Sarkozy was 'deeply shocked' by the personal attack. |

#10 Mahmoud, try to remember that France is a nuclear power with a reputation for... malleable ethics in the service of their national honor. While it is not particularly *probable* that you could goad them into nuking Qom, it isn't outside the bounds of possibility. Especially if you keep calling the wife of their president a whore. [Memo to administrative support - make sure that Mahmoud doesn't learn the name of President Sarkozy's mother.] |

#5 The French do not take such comments lightly. Since it was intended as a mortal insult, to which a 'real' man would reply with murder, any lesser response will be seen in the Muslim world as the acceptance of dhimmitude. |

#4 Silly islamists. No quicker way to dissolve the red-green alliance in Europe than to call a modern woman a whore. Especially not one as classy and elegant as Madame Bruni-Sarko. |

#3 Referring to Carla Bruni-Sarkozy as a "whore" may have some nasty consequences. The French do not take such comments lightly. |
