Who has heard/read about Al Hilaly’s (Australia’s senior Islamic leader) remarks concerning women who are uncovered? So basically this guy is just giving men all over the world free rein to attack and assault women who are not covered. Isn’t this just wonderful? Thus he is saying if you leave your house with an inch of skin or hair showing, it is your fault if you get attacked. How are we ever going to advance if our religious leaders continue to think and preach in such a manner? Every person is responsible for his/her actions. If a man attacks a woman he should damn well face the consequences of such a cowardly act. If he attacks a woman, regardless of whether she is covered or not, it is his fault, and he should pay for it. But by saying such a stupid remark, this will only increase violence against women! Did this sheikh think that this way he is convincing women to cover up? First of all if you want to convince women to wear the hijab (and I do not want to since I am against it) you should bring it to them from a religious point of view, not instill fear in their hearts of not being covered. Women should want to wear the hijab out of love for Islam and Allah, not out of fear of walking down the street with their hair showing. It sucks to be an Arab woman!
