Batman in a Burqa

Female students at a school in Islamabad (insert your own "giving Islam a bad name" joke here) took chinese masseuses (and alleged prostitutes) hostage for a day before the Chinese ambassador intervened.

In addition to telling them students when suicide bombing was Allah-approved (against coalition forces in Iraq & Afghanistan, not in Pakistan -- a NIMBY fundamentalist), their teacher did have this piece of inspirational wisdom for them:

“I said to the students before they went off, ‘The Chinese are masters at karate; you don’t know how to make one kick.’ But they were able to manage.”

At least they aren't teaching their students inaccurate stereotypes about foreigners!
