Thanks for those horrific images, Don. I'm glad I read that after lunch.

In other news, it seems the Mufti realized he stepped in it:

Muslim leader apologizes for rape comments

SYDNEY, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- An Australian Muslim leader has apologized for causing offense with a sermon blaming immodestly dressed women for sexual assaults.

Sheik Taj Aldin Alhilali apologized after The Australian detailed his comments, which compared women who do not wear Muslim headdresses to "uncovered meat" that attracts hungry animals, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Thursday.

"I unreservedly apologise to any woman who is offended by my comments," Alhilali said.

"I had only intended to protect women's honor, something lost in The Australian presentation of my talk."

Alhilali's earlier comments seemed to place blame for sexual attacks on the victims, The Australian reported.

"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."

Prime Minister John Howard described the comments as "appalling and reprehensible."

"The idea that women are to blame for rapes is preposterous."
