Those wonderful Muslims. No wonder Obama loved them so....

Quote:A 14-year-old girl has been beaten and detained for wearing ripped jeans in Iran in the latest incident of police brutality against women and girls.

Zahra*, who The Independent is not identifying for fear she may suffer reprisals, was celebrating her birthday with friends last week when a patrol of “morality police” pulled up.

The teenager said officers tried to force her and her friends into their car in the city of Shiraz, beating them when they resisted.

“There were two women and two men in a huge van and they pushed us into it with the force of their beatings,” she recalled. “Their objection was to the ripped jeans that we were wearing. There were really no other issues concerning my friends and I.”

Zahra and the other girls were released after being made to sign written pledges that they would not wear the trousers again and adhere to Iran’s strict interpretation of “modest” dress codes in the future.

“I still carry the bruises sustained from their beatings on my face,” she said. “I still feel their pressure on my arm and my ribs still hurt.”

Why on earth would it be a news item on any American News station? The Brits are the ones who are usually good about picking World News up.

Basically all world news gets ignored by American media of all types unless it's a major event.

Well, you were the one who picked up a random story out of a random British tabloid and asked why it wasn't on CNN?

Just for Fun...I checked Fox News, didn't see the story there either. They are covering the South China Sea issues, and the whole mess in the Phillipines though. You know, the major world news.

I bet if we all put on American flag hajibs, they'll stop.
