"SHEIK Taj Aldin al-Hilali, the Muslim leader at the centre of a storm over comments blaming women for rape, will be giving no more sermons for several months at Lakemba mosque, senior Muslims say."
"But no further action is to be taken against Australia's top Muslim cleric. "
(Ya! Well done guys a firm stand for women everywhere..NOT)
As discussed yesterday, the civilised and intelligent have been overwhelmed by the hive mind. Sad but predictable. To those of you with daughters (or pieces of meat unless they meet the Mutt's view of fashion), feel better now?
At least, the usual red herring defence "He doesn't represent us" has been nullified by the limp wristed response (although we live in hope the silent majority, whose views and positions have been debased will say "enough is enough" these idiots don't deserve to be our public face).

i've never been much in favour of the "this piece of material will preserve your modesty and dignity and prevent sexual assault" (because let's face it, modesty is more than just what you wear, male attention is not deterred by a piece of cloth, rape is a socially complex issue that goes beyond 'phwooar' and this guy should mnow better
BUT
he has a point. Any woman who goes out to reveal her best assets KNOWS that leaving meat uncovered dioesn;t so much attract the cats as the flies. sheesh! Whenever I'm out salsa dancing you can really see the contrast. The ones who dress in practically nothing are the ones surrounding by the leary, pawing, eyes bigger than their brains type guys. More fool THEM, I say. Nothing wrong with looking trashy per se - but women are only too aware that what you wear has a direct impact on how you are perceived and treated.
I'm not saying they deserve (or even will) get raped as a consequence of what they wear, but it DOES affect the attention you get. I think that is the point he was making. Advertise the meat in the open and flies are going to walk all over it.
Also, one might argue that rather than being unkind and unfair to women, he was being even more insulting to men. Does he really think men are incapable od self control? does he really think men are such animals, untrainable and slaves to their sexual appetites? that's quite a disservice - maybe it says more about himself than he intended....
from one australian to another "mate, you're warped".
UC,
I am stunned that you could find anything to support this poor excuse for humanity..and you are giving him way too much benefit of the doubt..
He has time again created division between religions and people throughout Australia. Is this really the sort of person and statement Islam needs as its "face"
Just a couple of others to ponder over..
"Those atheists, people of the book (Christians and Jews), where will they end up? In Surfers Paradise? On the Gold Coast?
"Where will they end up? In hell. And not part-time. For eternity. They are the worst in God's creation"
"But when it comes to adultery, it's 90 per cent the women's responsibility. Why? Because a woman possesses the weapon of seduction."
"Satan sees women as half his soldiers. You're my messenger to achieve my needs. Satan tells women you're my weapon to bring down any stubborn man. There are men that I fail with. But you're the best of my weapons."
The truely sad thing is the moderates have once again let a mug from the dark ages taint them all...
As for your statement ..
"I'm not saying they deserve (or even will) get raped as a consequence of what they wear"
According to the mutt if women do, its their fault anyway..no harm no foul..
Anon,
Concise and suitably vague..
I'm sorry I just think there are far worse things going on and being said in mainstream Australia.
And I disagree..
