First we had the Islamic cleric who said only one eyed veils would stop men from raping women, then the Australian Islamic cleric who described women who do not wear the veil are like 'uncovered meat’... who attract sexual predators, and now we have the Islamic cleric, Sheikh Saleh al-Lohaidan, who states that women who drive risk damaging their ovaries and producing children with clinical problems ….
"If a woman drives a car, not out of pure necessity, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological medical studies show that it automatically affects the ovaries and pushes the pelvis upwards. That is why we find those who regularly drive have children with clinical problems of varying degrees."
If They Are Covered Up, How Do Clerics Know Its A Woman Driving? |
Really, these cretins are the leaders of the Sunni Muslim world. They often promote this nonsense around the world (often in place of real food aid, when disasters strike in places like Pakistan), and they expect the rest of us to take them seriously. I do have one obvious question, if they are covered up, to 'de-sex them' how do clerics know its a woman driving? .... it could be a man who likes to cross dress.
Ah well, that aside these are the beliefs of madmen ….. and the self proposed lords and masters in the next 'Caliphate', when it finally encompasses the non Muslim world. So all I can say is 'God', or should I say 'Allah', help us all, if that ever comes about, because we will see little mercy from these nutters.
This story reminds me of the Steven Fry programme a few days ago; he met several anti-gay men with equally erroneous arguments for being bigots.
