A brief reply to Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali October 26, 2006
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Miscellany , trackbackThe mufti of Australia, reported in the BBC (from The Australian) as saying, with reference to women who do not wear the hijab:
“If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside…
and the cats come and eat it… whose fault is it, the cats’ or the
uncovered meat?” he asked.
Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali, my cat would eat the meat. But she is a dumb animal. Are you seriously suggesting that men are so lacking in self control or basic human decency that they are comparable to the animal who takes every temptation placed before it? Are you yourself perhaps as unable to control your appetites as a cat? You have insulted women, but far more deeply, you have insulted men.
