If you outlaw hot chicks, you only turn hot chicks into outlaws. Or something…
An Iranian cleric walking down the street scolded a woman for not covering up enough!
She told him to mind his own bizness. When he repeated himself, she repeated her foot upside his head.
An Iranian cleric said he was beaten by a woman in the northern province of Semnan after giving her a warning for being “badly covered,” the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti said he encountered the woman in the street while on his way to the mosque in the town of Shahmirzad, and asked her to cover herself up, to which she replied “you, cover your eyes,” according to Mehr. The cleric repeated his warning, which he said prompted her to insult and push him.

Well then.

The Bible tells us to "ask, seek and knock". Evidently, the Iranian cleric did not "ask".

It's a pity someone didn't tape this. It would be fun to watch!

How long did it take for someone to think of that?

I love this- and I love being a Christian- yes I might be my 'brother's keeper' and I shouldn't provoke anyone to sin purposely, but everyone's soul is their own and should guard THEMSELVES from sin and sinful situations

Personally I thought the title was lame; ninjas were spies, not warriors. "CIA-style" might mean anything from blackmail to false-flag to brainwashing, but it sure as hell doesn't refer to a straightforward throwdown.
(An example of how ninja really fought would be, the Yagyû Shinkage sword-style, whose founder was the son-in-law of an Iga ninja, has a technique called "no sword". It's usually described as being able to catch a sword in your bare hands, and then take it away from an opponent. Only, it is doubtful any Yagyû stylist ever even tried that. Rather, the style deliberately cultivated the image of being able to do that, so that if one of its practitioners were caught unarmed, his opponent would be so worried about being disarmed, he would forget he could use his sword. "No sword" refers to the fact that the psychological warfare has rendered the opponent's sword irrelevant.)

Good Lordy…finally a woman stands up for herself in a very hostile-towards-woman culture to the point of being stoned to death for the immorality and attacks of men and you want to argue the semantics of the historical context of the word ninja. Good grief. I repeat what others have said…YOU GO GIRL!!! I hope more see this and are inspired to take a stand.

Indeed yes, good on her and may she have a vigintillion imitators.
Nevertheless, the word "ninja" means something. He used it wrong. If he'd referred to US Marines as "soldiers" you can bet your life he'd hear about it in the combox.
And I only brought it up because the commenter above me had praised the title.
