Putting the 'jab' in 'hijab': Girls beat up Iran cleric when he tells them to cover up – CNN Belief Blog - CNN.com Blogs

Quote:

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 in the semi-official Mehr News Agency.

Iran, unlike Arab countries (and Pakistan), has a pretty thick secular or quasi-secular societal layer. Their Islamism (or, maybe, Islamic fervor) is mostly top-down.
Regular Iranian people didn't resort to violence in reaction to the movie mocking the Prophet; a high-ranked Iranian cleric did.
