It didn't even occur to me until after I posted this here on the forum: anybody in the conspiracy theory crowd wanna take a crack at this? I mean seriously. They're actually trying to train up a female ninja army? Or is our scare-the-public disinformation system just not trying very hard anymore?
"Jesus Christ! They've got nuclear-armed female Muslim ninjas!!! We HAVE to bomb them now or they'll fling radioactive throwing stars at our freedom!"
They threw out "trying hard" with "unwarranted accusation" during George W's administration brother. Remember the "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction!" claim?

i lol'd at the pictures pretty hard
Well, if you think about it, it is the perfect martial art for Iranian women. The burka doubles as a ninja mask. I read an interesting story years ago about Hatsumi, the 34th Soke of "ninjutsu".(WARNING: This is about to get martial art geeky).
Hatsumi is a very well respected and legit martial arts teacher. The amount of knowledge he has is insane. He was the guy that codified the art, made it 'mainstream' etc. As Westerners became more fascinated with the art of ninjutsu, he embraced it. HE actually added 5 more dan grades in the black belt belt journey (you can be a 15th degree black belt in ninjutsu) because he loved giving them out. The kicker is this: The rumor is that he started to give them out to appease the Western drive for 'belts'. I think he also has something called the "Golden Order of the Eagle" or something which is like the MVP award.
So, the idea behind this was to spread the 'hoakiness" of the art to all these other countries and conceal what the true art is to those he truly has been teaching over the years. Its like when the government ends up doing bad things to its own country in order to actually do what they want somewhere else. Its all about misdirection.
Good luck Iranian Female Ninja squad! We salute you!
I like my link better :) yahoo sucks anyways. http://www.disinfo.com/2012/02/irans...ja-army-video/
they might have 3000-3500 Iranian Ninja chicks, we got CHUCK FUCKING NORRIS
Ari: I had thought about the role of women in the culture and the traditional/stereotypical(?) ninja uniform and wondered if that was a driving force. And thank you for the history lesson. I geek out like anyone. I always liked when coach would give an impromptu history lesson; especially judo's role and how its changed over the years.
I'm still waiting for one of the non-Paul republican candidates to say something about Muslim ninjas attacking our freedom.
Apparently, Iran is very sensitive about it's ninja PR.
