Satanic dress
Topics: Understanding IslamTime to throw a little of the bizarre into today's mix of news and perspectives!
- From one of our Muslim friends(the sheik - don't really know the guy and don't want to) down under we have this interesting perspective on women:
A
Muslim sheik told followers at a public meeting in Bankstown that women
who were raped had incited men's lust by dressing immodestly and only had themselves to blame.
Sydney-born
Sheik Faiz Mohamad, 34, a former boxer who teaches at the Global
Islamic Youth Centre in Liverpool, made the comments during a lecture
for more than 1000 people at Bankstown Town Hall. The Sun-Herald has a
recording of the March 18 speech in which Sheik Faiz said: "A victim of
rape every minute somewhere in the world. Why? No one to blame but
herself. She displayed her beauty to the entire world.
Take
note you women, look good and you deserve to be raped!!! Is this guy
for real, I thought we had moved on from all this... wait, we did, just
not this primate.
"Strapless, backless, sleeveless,
nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blouses,
miniskirts, tight jeans: all this to tease man and appeal to his carnal
nature."
At the local mall, I,
being an example of 'man', am subjected to many a species of the
opposite sex, dressed in these satanic robes (or lack thereof). Wait
till they find out my carnal nature is dying to unleash. I think I'll just wait in the car while the wife does the shopping.
He
compared a woman dressed in such a way to a sheep. "Would you put this
sheep that you adore in the middle of hungry wolves? No . . . It would
be devoured. It's the same situation here. You're putting this precious
girl in front of lustful, satanic eyes of hungry wolves. What is the
consequence? Catastrophic devastation, sexual harassment, perversion,
promiscuity."
Read the rest at "A Western Heart" ...
Now as bizzare as all this sounds, and is, the guy does have a few points that ring a little true:
(...) "It's sad to see today how young girls are being brought up," he said. "The way they dress, their hairstyles . . . layers of make-up, which they just shovel on in order to remove afterwards, tanning out in the sun, bronzed, shiny so she can shine the lustful eyes of men; extreme dieting, working out. Why? So she can get the best figure, but not for her husband."
(...) He also condemned the soap opera Days Of Our Lives, which he said made wives negative towards their husbands, and said "premarital sex is fashionable, that manipulation, deceit, cheating, lying falsehood are all essential ways to get the man or lady of your dreams".
Well, as I said, a few points, although taken a little over the top ...
Some folks of almost any faith would say something similar about today's secular world.

He is for real and he is reflecting an attitude in our society that is quite abhorrent. We have already had several rape cases concerning men of Middle Eastern appearance.
What he really means is that if the woman is western then it is ok to kidnap her, get a gang of at least 4 men together and rape her because she has no rights in his eyes.
