#2 One who knows "his" woman would leave him for another in an instant if she could get the chains off.

#4 A grand mufti?

That's just a Grand Ayatollah without the offroad package.

#5 So, you can't control yerself so it's the girl's fault. I wish that when ol' pedo Mo wrote his big book o' lies he had added a line similar to "If your eye offends you, gouge it out." Imagine the fun. Hell, that one-eyed bastard in Britain could be king.

#6 Here's another example of this type of fundi thinking leeking into Western society as well - BBC has A man accused of domestic violence has been released after a Spanish court ruled that his wife was too well dressed to be a victim of such abuse.

I think Ike Turner would say, "it pays to keep your lady in good threads."

#7 --that Saudi women appearing without their veils in the presence of men "cause the doors of evil to open." --

Then maybe men should have locks on their zippers.

#8 an ayotollah is a senior clergyman in shia islam, with a broad religious and religious law role - roughly a bishop.

a mufti, IIUC (its been a while since ive read lewis, etc) is a juriconsult -someone who a local religious judge is supposed to turn to to resolve hard cases - had an official role in the Ottoman system for a given district, etc. A secular analogy would be an appelate judge, sorta. A Catholic analogy would be a senior cannon lawyer, I guees, though a Jewish Rosh Yeshiva might be closer - though no such geographically delimited official roles for the latter (Israel has official district rabbis but theyre more administrative officials, IIUC, in charge of patronage and distribution of funds to local synagogues - the juriconsult role is still maintained OUTSIDE the state apparatus there)

#9 more importanly look at the whole article - in which numerous women at the conference called for change. also look at the article below in which a prince called for change. I see signs of ferment, even if the establishment is fighting back.

#11 Not just a mufti, a GRAND mufti! Does this means he's a lot nuttier then the average "cleric"?

#13 Mufti Sheik Abdulaziz bin Abdullah al-Sheik’s sounds to belong one of the most respectable Islamic Clerics family in Saudi Arabia but his comments on Ms. Lubna Olayan have provided evidence of him being a rotten egg of the family. Either he doesn’t know how respectable the lady is or what services to Islamic ethics she has been rendering, or he just gave such comments for some nasty purposes. I have personal experience of working with Luba during 8O’s and 9O’s and found her most dignified and observing a real Muslim woman etiquettes better than most veil-observing females in the Kingdom. Morally she is great. She is a caring mother of 3 grown up children, runs an excellent household, and of course, a successful prominent business-woman at international level. She leads an excellent reputation through the international business community. By all true and real Islamic standards laid in teachings of the Quran and Sayings of the prophet (PBUH) she is very respect worthy.
