As most of ya all know,I´m persian.
I have never been to Iran,so I wanted to go up there this summer.----
But you need to have an Irani pass-so,no matter,I thought,and my
daddy and I went to the Irani consul,brought our papers and
everything and we were introduced for the coming week,so we can
pay,whatever they charge a.s.o.....
This time,my hands were hennaed with Irani designs.......really
nothing "modern" or really no "western" designs or suchlike....
WELL.....I went in,we were talking to the guy there,then I wanted to
take out a cigarette.....and he saw my hands.MY LORD.......at first
he screamed and began,that allah doesn´t wants that our body has
tattoos..then I explained to him,that it was henns,and that henna was
used in Iran a loong time ago and that is even still used in some
family and I told him,that I´m working on a book bout Persian
hennadesigns.....
Then he suddenly said "Iran doesn´t needs kids like you-you are not
persian you have become Austrian,and allah doesn´t want that you do
enter his holy land......."

And everythink because of the henna......
But really,I do hope,that I get my pass..cause I really wanna see my
country!
And really,his words made me sad..but I know,that what I´m doing will
help folks in future to know what Irani henna was once......
