Australian religious leader blames immodestly dressed women for sex attacks

Australia's most senior Muslim cleric has blamed immodestly dressed women who don't wear Islamic headdress for being preyed on by men and likened them to abandoned "meat" that attracts voracious animals.

[...]

In the religious address about adultery to about 500 worshippers in Sydney last month, Sheik Hilaly said: "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."

The shiek then said: "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred."

He said women were "weapons" used by "Satan" to control men.

[...]

Australia's most prominent female Muslim leader, Aziza Abdel-Halim, said the hijab did not "detract or add to a person's moral standards", while Islamic Council of Victoria spokesman Waleed Ali said it was "ignorant and naive" for anyone to believe that a hijab could stop sexual assault.

"Anyone who is foolish enough to believe that there is a relationship between rape or unwelcome sexual interference and the failure to wear a hijab, clearly has no understanding of the nature of sexual crime," he said.

Glad that in this age of political correctness and acceptance of all forms of debauchery, someone is saying it like it is, eh?

Oh, how desperate! You posted a thread to get a reaction from VP and all she gave you is a star. Now you're saying exactly what you were hoping she'd say! Classic!

... all she gave you is a star.

Interesting choice, though, isn't it? She could have posted any of the many emoticons and she chose the star.

I would like to ask this leader to go to Peshawar Pakistan where women are covered head to toe and see it like it is. I'm so tired of people blaming women.
