Shocking! An Iranian soccer club has begun allowing female soccer fans into its stadium to watch games -- women and girls had been banned ostensibly so they couldn't hear the foul language of their male counterparts.

If the change is considered the equivalent of allowing co-ed showers here, then it is indeed a "Shocking!" event.

I think it was inevitable and is laudable..and that more change will come in the Islamic world.
