MUSLIM VEILS DOWN UNDER!

Just a quick note on the Muslim Veil debate.

Last week the head Islamic dude in Australia was quoted from a sermon he gave that women who venture in public without covering their faces, invite rape.

He used an example of uncovered meat that is thrown outside and attracts cats and dogs so is a woman without a veil, just like uncovered meat.

Obviously this caused quite a stir down under and around the world. It is good that such ignorance is exposed, especially from such a high figure. Moderate Muslims will have to say something because if they don’t, they risk being lumped with the radicals and that does not bode well for the future of Islam and Muslims in general.

Here again, we can see how out of touch these Muslim clerics (men) are with social reality and still live in their ignorant, backward past.

To them, men have no control or should have any control over their biological desires and therefore they cannot rape, they can only be induced to rape by wily, uncovered women. In their culture, raped women are jailed and not the rapist.

In their culture, they do not see rape as a violent crime; they see it as an act of provoked sexual arousal that is acted upon.

To think that a naked face would provoke rape is just plain ignorance. Rapists rape 90 year old women; is that because they look sexy?

Muslims need to enter the modern world and partake of the wisdom and knowledge that the modern world has been accumulating for all these thousands of years; you can’t live by rules adopted thousands of years ago because those rules were based on ignorance.

I will admit, some beliefs are based on eternal absolutes but some practices are just plain stupid in our world today.
