Australia's Mufti - Women are Satan's weapon

This evil male makes my point about anti-female message that full veiling sends:

THE nation'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 a Ramadan sermon that has outraged Muslim women leaders, Sydney-based Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali also alluded to the infamous Sydney gang rapes, suggesting the attackers were not entirely to blame. [...]

"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 sheik 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.

"It is said in the state of zina (adultery), the responsibility falls 90 per cent of the time on the woman. Why? Because she possesses the weapon of enticement (igraa)."

Kudos to this Muslim woman
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,"

The west learned to at least question this defense in courts.

“But ur honor, she was dressed in this skimpy lil thing. What‘s a man supposed to do?”

Well, unlike a certain prior President, keep it zipped!

This is demeaning to men as well as women.

Women are meat and men are animals.

If that is how the Moslems see themselves (as animals) perhaps we ought to treat them like animals.

Last I checked, reasoning with a hungry carnivore was really bad idea.

To the Muslim quoted, I say:

Dude, if women were the sexually predatory universal seducers of men that you appear to think, my teenage years would have been a whole lot more fun than they were.
