| All Women Should Wear A Veil |
| 2007-04-16 |
| Filip van Laenen According to Mostafa Chendid of the Danish Islamic Society (Islamisk Trossamfund), not only Muslim women but other women too should wear a veil. Why? Because five up to ten percent of all men cannot control themselves when they see a woman without a veil. Mostafa Chendid is considered to be the successor of Ahmad Abu Laban, one of the imams who was involved in the affair around the notorious Danish cartoons. Ahmad Abu Laban was one of the leaders of the delegation that traveled around the Middle East and that had added three drawings to the original cartoons in its report to «give a clearer picture of the climate against Muslims in Denmark». Mostafa Chendid is doing well to become just as famous as his predecessor, and the interview that he recently gave to the Danish weekly newspaper Weekendavisen certainly isn't going to reduce the controversy around his person. Earlier he had already succeeded to draw attention to himself by saying, on International Women's Day, to Jyllands-Posten (that's right: the newspaper with the cartoons) that not only Muslim women, but all other women too, should wear a veil. Of course, this resulted in a lot of reactions, and as a matter of fact his remarks in Jyllands-Posten were the direct reason for the interview with Weekendavisen, where he repeated them once more and commented on them. He said for example that wearing the veil is a woman's duty to God, because that is what the Koran says. However, that doesn't mean that he thinks that a woman with a veil is a better person than a woman without a veil. According to him the veil also serves as a signal: women with a veil are «not for sale». Moreover, the veil protects against rapes, he says: in the US for example, every half minute a woman is raped, and according to him that is because women continuously tempt men by going onto the streets without a veil. Maybe not all men have a problem to control themselves when they see a woman without a veil, and perhaps there is only a problem with five to ten per cent of the men, but he says that is nevertheless enough for all women to wear the veil. When asked whether men shouldn't cover themselves too, so they do not seduce women either, the imam basically evaded the question. Perhaps the journalist should have gone even further and asked if it wouldn't be much simpler if the men would stay inside and weren't allowed to go out unless accompanied by their wife or a female family member. After all, it's the men that are the problem, not the women. To me it seems rather bizarre that women should walk around with a veil because men can't control themselves. No doubt, it there wouldn't have been a prophet but a prophetess, Mostafa Chendid never would have set a step outside his door! Maybe it would have been better for Islam's image too if he wouldn't do that anyway. |

| #13 The problem is the control that the rest of us exercise when it comes to Muzzies. This will either be our battle cry or epitaph. |

| #12 The problem is not Muzzies who cannot control themselves when it comes to women. The problem is the control that the rest of us exercise when it comes to Muzzies. |

| #11 "not only Muslim women but other women too should wear a veil. ... Because five up to ten percent of all men cannot control themselves when they see a woman without a veil." I've got a better idea. All women should carry a gun and know how to use it. Then, if those so-called "men" won't control themselves, we'll do it for them. Bring it, assholes. |

| #10 Because five up to ten percent of all men cannot control themselves when they see a woman without a veil. Matthew 18:9(KJV) "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." Double your certainty, pluck both out Mostafa. |

| #9 Because five up to ten percent of all men cannot control themselves when they see a woman without a veil. To hell with all those expensive veils. Just kill that "five up to ten percent of all men" who have so much difficulty controlling themselves. After all, such impulsive types are bound to be troublemakers anyway. What Chendid's statement really represents is a threat. Nowhere does he see any need for men to be more honorable in their conduct. Instead, he essentially green-lights the violent sexual abuse of women and, as usual with Islam, blames the victim for the crime. This skank is no different from Australia's al-Hilali and his "uncovered meat" bullshit. If Denmark has any sense, they will reach the same conclusions and deport this scumbag pronto. |

| #6 Perhaps a "knee to the package" at the first sign of "misinterpretation of foxy girls" wardrobe would help the misguided 5-10% mature past the emotional level of a 6th grader. |

| #4 How about we give 'em all guns, so they can shoot their attackers? Not so hot on that idea, are ya pal? |

| #3 Countdown to "feminists" agreeing with this sentiment. But to the "post-colonial" mind rape is fine as long as it is committed by the Other. |

What's wrong with muslim men? Is allan not strong enough to provide the spiritual strength to resist temptation? allan must be a weak putz. |
