Defiant Brit struts through Dubai mall in a bikini
By Michael Casey, Associated Press Writer  |  August 5, 2010
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates --A British woman stripped down to her bikini and strutted defiantly through a swanky Dubai mall after an Emirati woman covered head-to-toe in black confronted her for wearing a low-cut shirt, police said Thursday.

Mall security detained both women and took them to a police station for questioning Wednesday. They were released later in the day after the Emirati woman lodged a complaint for public indecency against the Briton, said a police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Police said the British woman, whose name was not released, was shopping in the five-star Dubai Mall when the Emirati woman approached her and criticized her for wearing a shirt she felt violated the conservative dress code followed by most women in this Muslim country.

Yeah, but was she HOT?

This story is cleaving right through the Muslim traditions of Dubai. Do you think the woman in black was offended because of the rather cavalier approach the Brit made vis a vis toe of camel?

Dammit!  I misread the title. I thought it said Defiant Six.

HA HA!! I know, right? I clicked on the link looking for some pics!!
Good for her though. They want to build a mosque near Ground Zero, I'll go streaking through that mall!! Eating a ham sandwich, none-the-less!

Lets just hope she doesn't have her hands cut off.
