Do you remember that lunatic cleric Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan who said that women should cover one of their eyes because they inflamed the passions of men i.e. perverts like him and others of his ilk who need locking up?
It gave us a new meaning to the term 'give us a wink'
Well he has a soul mate now, in the form of an Arab country's ambassador to Dubai (who sadly hasn't been named) who found out that a face veil can hide an awful lot of sins. According to the story going around he has been granted a divorce when he was found to have been conned into marrying a very ugly woman by being shown a picture of her sister.He of course had never seen her face in reality because he could be killed for doing that that ..... apparently after the marriage he pulled up her veil to kiss her for the first time only to discover that she was both cross-eyed and had facial hair.
Now I can understand not noticing that she had facial hair, but how could you miss that she was cross-eyed? Unless of course she was wearing a one eyed Niqab with just the straight eye looking out ........ errm.
Ahh Teernce, abuse from you is high praise indeed ... both the stories are from the BBC, so maybe they are idiots, bigots and racists as well?
ReplyDeleteSheikh Muhammad al-Habadan called for women to only have one eye visible to men, so that they didn't inflame their lusts ....

And a Arab ambassador was reported as having his marriage annulled after he saw the brides face ....

As for "Cross-eyed" ... I hope that this is not an affliction you carry, although it may account for your rage ... well it has the meaning in literature of amongst other things ...
'absurd, askant, asymmetrical, awry, canted, crazy, crooked, lopsided, ludicrous, nonsensical, preposterous, and squint', which are my opinion of those men who believe that women are to be locked behind a one eyed veil, or given away in marriage by men.
So Terence you illiterate 'misogynist' (look it up in that dictioanry you carry mate) .... I am happy to have you call me an 'oaf' .... I'll wear the epithet with pride.
