It's true that some women could have avoided being raped, had they worn clothes that don't reveal any skin.Originally Posted by Navaros
It's also true that these women could certainly have avoided being raped by staying in their appartment the rest of their lives (he actually makes this point!)
Of course women put themselves at risk if they take a lonely walk, half naked through crime infested neighbourhouds. But if women can't walk without the Hijaab in daily hours without risking their safety, something is wrong.
The Australian mufti was immediately rebuked by a ton of muslims. I don't think there are that many muslims who follow his line of reasoning, but having such a person in a position of leadership is asking for trouble. I say sack him.Not to speak in his defense or to be muslim bashing, BUT, isn't this view pretty much law in several Islamic countries ? (Iran, Pakistan,...) I do think this line of thought is horribly wrong, but this isn't just the problem of one lunatic, there are a whole lot of people trapped in the same 'paradigm'. Not that it's (all) Islam that's to blame, this line of thought was (is?) pretty common in the western world too...
