Intolerant Muslim Cleric: Women’s Sexy Clothing Distracting Muslim Men From Sleep, Prayers

Muslims rarely surprise me anymore but I have to admit I never once considered a burka as a cure for insomnia.
Happy Halloween everyone.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia’s Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said.
Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the spiritual leader of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said he wanted to speak about the “emotional abuse” that men face because it is seldom discussed, the party reported on its Web site Wednesday.
“We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen,” Nik Abdul Aziz said. “Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed.”
Nik Abdul Aziz has made controversial comments about women in the past, including that women should stop wearing lipstick and perfume to lower the risk of being raped. Women’s groups have slammed his statements, saying Islam teaches both men and women to be responsible for modesty. They say comments like these encourage rapes because it puts the onus on women.
- Blame the victim is a common theme used by Muslim apologists.
Nik Abdul Aziz’s fundamentalist party has about 800,000 members. He is also the chief minister of northeastern Kelantan, the only one of Malaysia’s 13 states that is not ruled by the moderate National Front governing coalition.
His party’s Web site published an illustration Wednesday of how women should dress — in long, flowing headscarves covering their hair and chests and “baggy and loose” long-sleeved, floor-length dresses.
- This guy has either never seen a Florida beach babe or he is gay. Women wear what you want not what is chosen for you by a minion.
Most women from Malaysia’s Malay Muslim majority wear a modest form of Islamic clothing, though younger women in cities sometimes wear body-hugging dresses or tight T-shirts and jeans.
In Kelantan, the Islamic party has fined Muslim women for not wearing headscarves in workplaces and implemented separate check-out lines for men and women in supermarkets.

You know I am not defending any of this, but you gotta admit that if some women in America didn’t dress like they did, we could probably up production across the nation. I’m just saying that I see women on a daily basis that distract me, making ne subject to the thought police and forget all about praying…
I guess even at 38 “little TRM” is still in charge…

TRM, if you ever come to Tampa drive down Bayshore Boulevard - slowly mind you or the “distractions” will cause you to wreak your car. I use every excuse I can find to drive that road . It’s one of the reasons I moved back after I retired. I might be old but I am not dead, btw do you know Velvethammers number?
Lol, She will get me for that.

TRM, yes, western women can be distracting for sure. You often see guys’ eyes following scantily clad females and I agree we’re far too sexualized in the west. However, the fact that Muslim males take no responsibility at all for their own lack of control is also a complete copout. They’re not wild, uncontrollable animals. There’s no law that says a guy has to ogle. He can get married to the right woman and enjoy her. If its not girls out in public, it’s the internet.

Ok, if every woman in the US dressed like an Amish housewife, we would all be staring at the way her petticoat or whatever swayed, and still oogling them.
They are women. They have female pheromones. They are attractive to men for a reason. God and nature have made it that way so that the human race doesn’t die out from a lack of interest.
If you spent your whole life around chicks in burkas, you would pend 1/2 your day wondering what that girl looked like under there, and the other half of your day trying to find out.

I agree with Blackdog….Men are going to be distracted by women no matter what they wear…And, in all actuality…if they spend 1/2 day wondering what the girl looks like under that burka and the other half trying to find out…then we have the right idea here in the states…Put it all out there and then there is nothing left to the imagination….then men can get right back to work, instead of using so much of his energy for imagination

Ronin. TRM does not have my #. Good try though. lol
BTW I have as you can see, linked to this post in my Sunday roundup today. I have a great idea for a WMD, to use against all of those misogynist muslim clerics, and their blind mice.

You can not blame a guy for tring Velvet.

i actually agree with you on this one (dont bother gloating) i think the whole thing is nonesense. if men dont like the fact that women are dressing sexy then they should cover their eyes and look away.. and if it disturbs them so much then maybe they should wear full lenth burkas and things too .. so as not to distract the women from their prayers!

Some of these girls should absolutely wear a burka….
More nonsense:

tnr
She must be a plant. She could not of been serious.
I am soooo sure she has dreamed of being a hairdresser for lowly infidels since she was in high school. Yeah right.
The kicker…
“Ms Noah, 19, is claiming religious discriminat ion and suing Ms Desrosiers for more than £15,000 for injury to her feelings, as well as an unspecified sum for lost earnings.”
Hurt feelings. Bo freakin hoo
Lost earnings for a job she never had???
What lunacy!

And don’t forget her vulgar self-confident arrogant glance mirroring the ugliness of her soul….
Some of those “alternative” hairdressers even offer pubic hair shaving and design… they should have offered her that kind of job, shaving genitalia of both men and women
