Time to Evolve
Outrage as Muslim cleric likens women to 'uncovered meat' the Daily Mail: "In a Ramadam sermon in a Sydney mosque, Sheik al-Hilali suggested that a group of Muslim men recently jailed for many years for gang rapes were not entirely to blame.
There were women, he said, who 'sway suggestively' and wore make-up and immodest dress 'and then you get a judge without mercy and gives you 65 years. But the problem, but the problem all began with who?' he said, referring to the women victims.
Addressing 500 worshippers on the topic of adultery, Sheik al-Hilali added: 'If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it..whose fault is it - the cats or the uncovered meat?
'The uncovered meat is the problem.'
He went on: 'If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab (veil), no problem would have occurred.'"
With the ideals of freedom, this idiot is allowed to say these things and the rest of the world is allowed to respond. People should know that rape has nothing to do with swaying or uncovered flesh. Gang rapes really have nothing to do with that. To say that women should be in their "room" is so far beyond the pale as to not to be taken seriously. All of this is that way. He thinks the judge should have had mercy on these guys. Mercy? Clearly said by a man who doesn't have to live the rest of his life after that kind of violence. He went on to say that women "were weapons used by Satan to control men". That is hysterical. Many of the rest of us have experienced a social and emotional evolution that this iman, by virtue of his religion, has not been allowed to experience.
