Muslim Leader Blames Women For Sex Attacks

[I wonder if the cleric would approve of this women's headdress - it does appear to be Islamic]

Australia's most senior Muslim cleric has blamed immodestly dressed women who don't wear Islamic headdress for being preyed on by men and likened them to abandoned "meat" that attracts voracious animals:

In a Ramadan sermon that has outraged Muslim women leaders, Sydney-based Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali also alluded to the infamous Sydney gang rapes, suggesting the attackers were not entirely to blame.

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".

"But the problem, but the problem all began with who?" he asked.

The leader of the 2000 rapes in Sydney's southwest, Bilal Skaf, a Muslim, was initially sentenced to 55 years' jail, but later had the sentence reduced on appeal.

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?

In other words, it's the women's fault for getting raped, they should have covered themselves up in a burka? I realize you've heard me say this before, but Islamists are very very sick people, and are really "out there" far away from the reality of the modern world. These people really do belong in the deserts of the Middle East, where they can be put as far away from normal people as possible.

BTW, here is my all time favorite Islamic headdress (This one got Van Gogh killed).:
