Australian Hijab Watch: The “UNCOVERED” Meat
The Australian News: Muslim leader blames women for sex attacks
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.
While not specifically referring to the rapes, brutal attacks on four women for which a group of young Lebanese men received long jail sentences, Sheik Hilali said there were women who “sway suggestively” and wore make-up and immodest dress … “and then you get a judge without mercy (rahma) and gives you 65 years”.
“But the problem, but the problem all began with who?” he asked.
The leader of the 2000 rapes in Sydney’s southwest, Bilal Skaf, a Muslim, was initially sentenced to 55 years’ jail, but later had the sentence reduced on appeal.
In the religious address on adultery to about 500 worshippers in Sydney last month, Sheik Hilali 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 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.
Wonder what the Women’s Liberation Movement would have to say to this cleric here in the USA?
Oh……the peaceful simplistic/primitive beauty of Sharia Law………
NOT
Keep them barefoot and in their Hijab – what a novel approach? After all, you don’t want to leave that meat “UNCOVERED.”

Sort-of reminds me of the Southern Baptist Convention, a few years ago, declaring that a woman should treat her husband the way the church treats christ (i.e. worship and uncritical obeisance). Oh, and the place of the wife is at home with the kids, of course.
I guess every religion has a misogynistic fringe.
