Iran’s top cop has offered to resign if a recent Iranian boy-girl survey proves to be true.
Iran’s top cop has offered to quit his job if anyone verifies the results of a recent survey that says 80% of Iranian students drink alcohol and have friendships with the opposite sex, the semi-official Iranian Labour News Agency reported.
“These findings have no basis and if such things are true, I will resign from my post,” Ahmadi Moghadam said, according to ILNA.
Drinking alcohol and relations between men and women who are not related are forbidden in Iran and other conservative Muslim countries.
According to ILNA, the survey was conducted by a university professor in Tehran. The report didn’t reveal the number of students surveyed or their age range but the study was enough to provoke the police chief’s ire.
“The report that 80 percent of males and females have relations goes against the moral fabric of our society,” ILNA quoted the police chief as saying.
Moghadam condemned the media for reporting what he called the bogus results of the study and challenged to debate anyone who believed the findings to be true.
If these survey results don’t do in him in, wait until the results of the Iranian boy-boy survey.
