| [slm] Wonder if she has a daghter for my red belt son? ;) SEPTEMBER 22, 11:49 ET Jordanian Woman Attacks Harassers AMMAN, Jordan (AP) All that was missing was the Wonder Woman costume. Witnesses say a Jordanian woman ripped off her enveloping black cloak and veil to reveal a traditional long dress that was nearly as enveloping and punched and kicked into submission three young men who had been verbally harassing her. The official Petra News Agency reported Sunday that shopkeepers and passers-by believe the unidentified woman must have had martial arts training. In Friday's incident on the main street in Zarqa 13 miles north Amman, the three men were too shocked to react at first and ended up knocked to the ground, screaming in pain. They then scrambled up and fled. The woman quoted the title of a song made famous by the late Egyptian star Umm Kalthoum "patience has its limits'' before continuing on her way as a crowd cheered her. Petra quoted witnesses as saying the three men had regularly directed obscenities at the woman as she walked in the area. It was not clear if they harassed other women as well. |

| [slm] Wow. Imagine throwing off her abayah to reveal equally long and flowing robes and then hurricane kick (*fitaash*) the men. That is like a dream come true. I think it's AWESOME. You know like in Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon, when you find out that Kung Fu person is a chick! That was like sa-weet. (Okay okay.....***calms herself down...recites the durood shareef***) In all seriousness though, I think it is incumbent upon muslims to learn some self-defence. NOT so much because of security reasons, but because we have been ordained to look after ourselves. (Our bodies, our health, our imaan, etc) Nice Article. Wasalaam SF |
