Uncovered Meat

Seems that the reason that one Australian mufti thinks that it is permissible to rape a woman is because she's nothing more than uncovered meat.

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”…
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.”

I don't have the words to express my utter contempt for this misogyny and abject lack of understanding for human rights. He's blaming women for being raped.

Where are the feminists and their supporters calling for this guy to step down? Denunciations? Nothing. Only crickets.

And while I don't have the words, I do have a photo. Several in fact. Because nothing quite gets the Islamists' panties in a bunch (that is when they're not wearing them on their heads) than seeing scantily clad women.



UPDATE:
Quite a few folks have found the words to describe the sheikh's actions - and rightfully denounce him. Some of them actually include Aussie Muslims, who heretofore have not distinguished themselves in speaking out against the misogynists in their midst. Gaius has the details.

They include Tim Blair, Mark in Mexico, Fausta, Peaktalk, Laurence Simon, The Moderate Voice, and Donald Sensing.
