Islamic Woman Nabbed For Wearing Belt Made Of Live Crocodiles
Some news stories are so funny there's little to do except present them for any of our readers who haven't chanced upon them. Here's one that demonstrates female Islamic dress will get even more frightening than it already is.

It appears that guards at a crossing at the Rafah terminal in southern Gaza pointed out that a Moslem woman appeared, despite her veiled face and loose robe, "strangely fat." They mustered the courage to approach the oddly shaped lass, regardless of the possibility that she might be outfitted having an unusually robust suicide belt.

check here being observed to a fault, lest some inadvertence lead to stoning or another alarming throwback, a female guard was entrusted to look at the girl - and discovered, to her dismay, that her examinee was actually wearing a belt comprised of three live crocodiles, each about 20 inches long.

The incident sparked panic at the crossing. "The policewoman screamed and ran out of the room, and women began screaming and panicking if they heard," a spokeswoman for the European observers who run the crossing explained. When things calmed down, she said, "everybody was admiring a female who is able to tie crocodiles to her body."

The woman, as it happens, was attempting to smuggle the reptiles out of Egypt to market them to the tiny zoo in Gaza or even to anybody else who may be interested in owning a pet croc.

As you may guess, in that male-dominated and sadly regressive area of the world, the woman confessed that she "was asked" to transport the crocodiles. The reptilian items will be worth "good money" in Gaza, around about $500.

At least, the guys who trusted her with job had the foresight to tie the jaws of her cargo of crocs shut.

The errant animals were returned to the Egyptian side, without doubt much to the disappointment of the lady who was simply smuggling them and the men who outfitted her.
