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 >>>

On a more serious note, hope there will be no heavy consequences.
Location, location...
by jirandoust on Thu Sep 20, 2012 04:57 PM PDTWhat gives significance to this incident is the location of it. It took place in a VILLAGE where people are normally more conservative than big cities. I wouldn't have given it a second thought if this happened in north Tehran, let's say. But in a village? This could be an indication IRI is loosing it's base faster than they thought.
And yes, next Iranian revolution will be lead by women!
Rare instance of courage coming out of Iran
by Anonymous Observer on Thu Sep 20, 2012 06:36 PM PDTand of course, it's our women. The men are busy licking mullahs' balls and appeasing them.
The only sad part
by The Prince on Thu Sep 20, 2012 02:34 PM PDTis that they didn't kill the bastard! The only good akhoond, is a dead akhoond.
Great job!!!

by P_T_B_A on Thu Sep 20, 2012 01:35 PM PDTI would pay the price of a movie theatre ticket (in U.S.) to watch the video of this incident if one existed. Bravo!
They probably kicked him in the balls too!

Hatred towards Mullahs in Iran...
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Thu Sep 20, 2012 08:49 AM PDTWhenever I am back home, I get shocked by the rising level of hatred towards mullahs. From passive aggressive acts of a cab driver speeding past a mullah to pick up the next passenger, to open deeply hostile commentary from very devout muslims to this, beating up a mullah by couple of girls!...
I'm afraid we will be witnessing a blood bath in Iran after the overthrowing of the Islamist regime, the likes of it has not been seen in our country for centuries...

Brave Girls
by Azarbanoo on Thu Sep 20, 2012 08:13 AM PDTAll must follow the same trends. Who are these criminal, thieves & Liers ? Who has occupied IRAN & Tell us what to do. This is about Time!
We can only hope
by azadi5 on Thu Sep 20, 2012 07:37 AM PDTThat this becomes a trend. Hopefully men will also join in.
