Iranian cleric gets beat down for telling woman to cover up

Now this I like!

Perhaps next time he’ll think twice before opening his mouth. A mouthy Iranian cleric spent three days in the hospital after he was savagely beaten by a woman he criticized for having her head partly uncovered, state news reported. Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti, a mid-level cleric in the northern province of Semnan, was on his way to a mosque in the town of Shahmirza when he spotted the woman's veil looking loose and warned her to cover up, Mehr news agency reported. "You cover your eyes," she shot back according to the news agency. State laws in Iran require women to wear a hijab - a scarf that covers their hair and neck - and loose fitting clothes that covers up their bodies. When Beheshti repeated the warning, the woman got aggressive, the cleric said. "Not only didn't she cover herself up, but she also insulted me. I asked her not to insult me anymore, but she started shouting and threatening me," Beheshti said.
