This
Mutton-Headed Imam Reminds Me Of Yet Another Bovine-Brained And
Ever-Quarrelsome Muslim Apologist Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, Who Once Infamously
Said, " The Onus Of Men Going Astray Rests On Women Who Don't Cover Their
Face And Body."

Sadybakas Doolov An imam from Kyrgyzstan

An Imam in
Kyrgyzstan believes that meat prices have gone up in the country because of
women exposing their thighs.
Award-winning
Imam Sadybakas Doolov blamed women for the inflating prices of meat saying that
women cheapen themselves when they choose to show bare skin, OpIndia reported.
In the
capital city of Bishkek, he said: “Do you know when meat prices go up in your
town? They go up when women’s flesh cheapens."
He added
that women become cheap after they "expose their thighs like a thumb.”
This
mutton-headed Imam reminds me of yet another bovine-brained and ever-quarrelsome
Muslim apologist Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, who once infamously said, " The onus
of men going astray rests on women who don't cover their face and body."
By the way, Deedat was a Surat-born, South African Muslim 'scholar' who wasted
his above-average intelligence in condemning Christianity throughout his life
and trying to prove the 'greatness' of Islam. He was 'Dr' Zakir Naik's mentor.
So, you can jolly well imagine the kind of a 'preacher' he was.
Though
misogyny is embedded in men of all faiths, it's particularly deep-seated among
Muslims and esp. among the preachers and religious figures of Islam. First of
all, how can women's thighs and soaring meat prices be related? This anatomical
analogy has no meaning except for titillation. It suggests a carnal allusion.
The problem with Muslim society is that women are sexual objects and Allah
created them only for dissuading ' pious ' men from their ' righteous ' path!
In her book
' The Trouble with Islam Today ' (2004), the Ugandan-born Canadian educator
Irshad Manji writes that the overall patriarchal attitude of Muslim men, esp.
of Ulema, has relegated Muslim women to mere products who survive at the mercy
of men. In Islam, a woman's anatomy is a man's autonomy.
Even hijab
or veil is a sign of male chauvinism. Men covered their women from top to
bottom like tents so that no other (man) could see them. And today, stupid
Muslim women are happy in hijab and call it their religio-sartorial right!
Nonsense!
It's time
to condemn this misogynistic attitude of Muslim men, esp. preachers. for such
derogatory comments on women and their specific parts of the body. We talk of
gender equality but are still stuck in a female anatomy. This is pitiable.
