I wonder how many muslim women that wear their traditional garments have been raped? Or if they even report it for fear of shame? |
or execution :rolleyes:

Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh (Persian: عاطفه رجبی صحاله) (lived 1988 to August 15, 2004) was a 16-year-old Iranian girl who was executed in Iran after being sentenced to death by an Iranian judge, Haji Rezai, for allegedly having committed "acts incompatible with chastity": Based on judicial records, by the time Atefeh was 16, she had been convicted five times of having sex with unmarried men[1] , and for removing her hijab while arguing with her judge in court.
According to the BBC, supreme court of Appeal documents described her as a 22-year-old, but no one bothered to check her real age. Her trial for ‘crimes against chastity’ was based on her admission that she had been repeatedly raped by a revolutionary guard, 51-year-old Ali Darabi, a married man with children. |

| yeah I remember watching that on SBS. Amazing that it is accepted as a death penalty for over 18's let alone that no effort was made to verify the age of a 16 yr old. I wonder how the Mufti would defend that? |

What a bunch of arse! |

Hey guys, just reading through the thread and i'd like to make a few comments:
Firstly. Like every human with a brain, I am incensed by the so called mufti's comments. There is no room or should be no tolerance in any society for anyone who makes such comments and deportation out of Australia should be his punishment as a result.
Secondly. Being a muslim myself im quite disappointed at some of the comments that have been flying around about the faith itself. Islam is not a sexist religion however such an opinion is deprived purely by those who claim to represent the faith (ie mufti). I belong to a sect of Islam which believes that the headscrafe/wear is purely derived from culture and not religion. In the Quran, it clearly states that women should dress modestly. Now this has been misterpretated by 99% of muslims because dressing modestly has all with covering your hair/face. This is proven by the fact that the covering of hair isn't an exclusively Islamic custom. Nuns and women of other faiths cover their hair and has been done so way before Islam was established. Its the institution, the so called people of knowledge who place such bourdens on its people who should be held accountable (in this case the mufti).
Thirdly. To suggest that the muftis comments represent the opinion of all muslims is absolute ing garbage. Lets draw a comparison. If a catholic priest MOLESTS a young boy does that mean that it is ok for every individual of the Catholic faith to practise such acts? NO. Then why jump and say oh the mufti must represent the opinion of the entire faith simply because he is the "spiritual leader" of Islam. GROW ING UP and most of all GROW A BRAIN!
Id just like to conclude by saying that it is very unfortunate that in todays world it is they with long beards and headscrafes which represent the Islamic faith. |

| i dont think anyone is arguing people like the mufti represent the whole of islam. but there is no doubt an underlying problem in islam caused by people like him. im certainly not blaming the religion per se, but im blaming what some men have done with the religion. the right to practice your faith should be inalienable, but i dont want foreign cultures preaching these kinds of ideas in our multicultural society. yes, im probably pretty intolerant myself, but so be it ;) |

there you go pkc.
I couldn't agree more with you though that it is an underlying problem where it is people in his position, who ultimately represent the image of the religion.
What im trying to stress is the that we shouldn't stigmatise an entire civilisation based on individuals regardless of their position/influence. |

| I don't think anyone is argueing with you there mate. It's up to the community to sort that stuff out internally - a challenge that all religions have to face up to. |
