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.

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.

Sorry, that was my kneejerk reaction to Muslim on Muslim violence.

While admittedly likely, why assume they are Muslim?

According to the article, the incident occured in Iran, involved a cleric and 2 girls who were on the way to a mosque to pray, and afterwards he mentioned "Islamic Hijab".

Why is this awesome? They should have just disobeyed him, not beat him.

The cleric was on the way to the mosque for prayers, not necessarily the women.

And yet there was, what, a greater than 99% chance they were Muslim and you're still pursuing this?

Re: 99%... I wonder how Muslim Iran really is. Sure, a whole bunch of people may profess to be Muslim, but when sharia's answer to apostates is execution, would you really expect anyone to say any different? You bet your *** I'm the 99%.

CLEVELAND — Nine of 16 Amish convicted in beard- and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in Ohio have remained free, but the government wants them locked up, which could leave up to 50 children with one or both parents behind bars… Prosecutors and witnesses described how sons pulled their father out of bed and chopped off his beard in the moonlight and how women surrounded their mother-in-law and cut off two feet of her hair, taking it down to the scalp in some places.

Granted I don't know all that much about Islam, and they may very well have some kind of confirmation of faith when children reach an age where they're expected to be able to reason for themselves.
