Contrasting images of President Ahmadinejad
In a departure, this week we have two The Steeple Times pictures of the week. They were separately taken but both feature President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. Whilst one shows a fawning television presenter interviewing this madman, the other illustrates a courageous lady sticking a finger up to him.

Here, a young lady stands in front of the Iranian leader’s motorcade and publicly sticks her finger up to him.
