In spite of my criticisms of Pres. Ahmadinejad, you should know he is a humble man and doesn't parade around as a flamboyant statesmen, he chooses to live simply even though wealth and power is at his hands, this is a trait I respect. When you laugh at Pres. Ahmadinejad for sitting down with who I imagine is his wife and possibly a relative, both who are dressed conservatively and modestly in front of cameras, just remember the Prophet Muhammad SAW also had his wives wear the veil (AFAIK).

Islam believes in people dressing modestly no matter what time period they are living in. Now with that said, I personally don't support wearing of burqas or niqab's as I believe there are many negatives to that but simply dressing modestly is nothing to laugh at someone for.

Graves are seen through the window of an abandoned cemetery care-taker's hut in Cape Town's Khayelitsha township February 27, 2010. Many of those buried in the cemetery died from AIDS or related complications such as tuberculosis (TB). Some 5.7 million people live with HIV/AIDS in South Africa, more per capita than any other country - while 33 million people live with the disease worldwide. Despite having the world's highest number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy -- about 850,000 -- there are millions more who cannot access the life-saving drugs they need, either because they are too expensive or simply not available. This leads to more than 350,000 HIV related deaths each year in the country. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly
