Girls beat up Iran cleric over dress code

Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- They may be a far cry from their Western counterparts fighting for the acceptance to breast-feed -- or go topless -- in public, but two girls clobbered a cleric recently in a small town in Iran when he admonished one of them to cover herself more completely.

The cleric said he asked "politely," but the girl's angry reaction and some pugilistic double-teaming with her friend landed the holy man in the hospital, according to an account Monday in the semiofficial Mehr News Agency.

Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti said he encountered the girls on his way to the mosque in the village of Shahmirzad for noon prayers in late August.

He told one of the girls to cover up, the report said. "She responded by telling me to cover my eyes, which was very insulting to me," Beheshti said. So he asked her a second time to cover up and also to put a lid on what he felt was verbal abuse. She hit the man of the cloth, and he hit the ground. "I don't remember what happened after that," he said. "I just felt her kicks and heard her insults."

Beheshti, who emerged from the infirmary three days later, said he did not file a complaint against the girls. But he doesn't mind the local prosecutor's investigation into the matter either "as long as the case helps the cause of Islamic hijab."

The girls may have put the "jab" into "hijab," but fighting with morality police or private individuals telling women to cover up is rare in small towns. It's more common in larger cities, where women are more likely to take a stand.

My guess is the dirty old B@$tard try to cop a feel and they decked him and he is covering his sorry behind. In the words of Mark Levin, Their I said it... I am not trying to promote violence, but can you imagine if these women in the middle east were all a member of their countries “2nd Admendment Sisters”?

“theyll probably be stoned afterwards”

Third time is the charm.

It will probably take....ahem, a lot of men to accomplish that deed.

Maybe the whole Republican Guard.

"She responded by telling me to cover my eyes, which was very insulting to me,"

Is there anything not insulting to these people?

Sometimes, a good offense is the only defense.
Attacking him and hurting him badly enough that he couldn’t rape her would be the only defense, since many men would be afraid to interfere with a cleric assaulting her, her friend isn’t enough witness to the rape and calling for help might get vicious police who would merely join in the assault.

What an insult to these brave women to even compare them to the pampered feminists of America who protest for silly nonsense. Unlike American feminists, these women may lose their lives over this.

BUT WAIT!!!

We’re told that the all of the women there WANT to dress in Halloween Costumes, to go out in public, as they are modest.

At least that’s what they say...well, as long as their ‘men’ are monitoring their public statements, which is always the case.

Now he has to live the rest of his life with everyone knowing he got beat up by a girl.
