Iran not a Happy country
 
Or a country to go and be happy. Don't even think about dancing with women. :D

Iran: Happy video dancers sentenced to 91 lashes and jail

Seems the jail sentences have been suspended but the 91 lashes? How did they come up with the number 91 and wonder what goes for fun in Islam.

Breaking the rules - same as it ever was all over the world.

Islam like Puritanism reminds me of what H. L. Mencken once said

Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

They can listen to music as long as it's just drums and woodwind instruments. Guitars and other stringed instruments are evil.
And the lyrics must conform to Islam.

Good thing they weren't dancing to Zappa's Dynamo Humm.

Wonder if they can dance on a prayer rug? ;)
