'For her to be absolved from guilt, a raped woman must have shown good conduct'
2004-07-11
Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim cleric currently on a controversial visit to Britain, believes that female rape victims should be punished if dressed "immodestly" when assaulted. The 78-year-old Egyptian-born scholar, allowed into the country despite his open support of Palestinian suicide bombers and his extreme views on homosexuality, says that women can be guilty of provoking a sexual attack if their dress or behaviour arouses a man.
And there ain't nobody as easily aroused as a Muslim man...
Dr al-Qaradawi's views on rape appear on a website called IslamOnline, which purports to give a modern interpretation of Islam. He is the website's chief scholar and leader of a group of Islamic academics who provide answers to questions posed by Muslims on moral issues. One question asked: "Are raped women punished in Islam?" A panel, headed by Mr al-Qaradawi, replied: "To be absolved from guilt, the raped woman must have shown some sort of good conduct . . . Islam addresses women to maintain their modesty, as not to open the door for evil. The Koran calls upon Muslim women in general to preserve their dignity and modesty, just to save themselves from any harassment. So for a rape victim to be absolved from guilt, she must not be the one that opens . . . her dignity for deflowering."
"So no titties! And no thighs, dammit! And get rid of those buttocks! And the ankles, too!

#8  Frank G, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi would go ape shit crazy. You have never seen how these guys act when they come to the US? They Booze it up and go whoring. He would get thrown out of Hooters for not keeping his hands to himself.

Typical abuser, he blames the victim for his lack of self restraint and mental illness.

Get the rope, FlameBait's method of dealing with rapists. Get the Pickup (blacked out rear window no mirrors) and chain and see if they can keep up, FlameBait's method for dealing with wife beaters.

#6  Some wit should publish a guide to homosexual rape of Imams, in English and Arabic. Using the same criteria that Imams are disrespectful and dress provocatively (dresses rather than pants, and those "f-me" turbans and beards), if someone homosexually rapes them, then the rapist is blameless, and the Imam should be stoned to death for "wanting it", etc.
In fact, a homosexual rapist should be able to kill an Imam for marrying a woman, which just *proves* that he wants to be homosexually raped, and other such logical extensions like those they use to justify the rape of women.
Perhaps a homosexual can redeem himself by raping enough sinful Imams so that he can make it into heaven.

Yet American feminists consider Republicans far more of a menace than this vile, repressive ideology.

#3  "he is also one of the most open-minded Muslim clerics in the world..."

Well, that's certainly something to think about.

#2  So, according to this logic, Private England (of the Prison Scandal) should not be held responsible for her actions since the prisioner was imodest (naked) and his litte wee-wee was right out there for her to see and point at.......
