Don’t sue the mufti
Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilali, the mufti of Australia, caused outrage when he crassly compared unveiled women to “uncovered meat” and implied that they were to blame if they were sexually assaulted.
Now an Australian woman is demanding a personal apology, or else she’ll sue, because she felt offended:
I’m a white, Western woman of high morals and I was offended,
said Elaine Davidson, a recreational health lecturer from Melbourne.
I am incensed, disgusted, offended and I feel internally brutally bashed by him.
Oh, for crying out loud. Put some imaginary Ralgex on your metaphorical bruises and let the fool speak! Hilali is doing a spectacular job for the cause of secularism in Australia by exposing his medieval beliefs to the light.
You can’t make fun of him if you don’t let him speak.
Quite agree. These nutters do more to condemn themselves, and she’d have been better saying such. However, she wouldn’t have got the chance (to such a large audience, anyway) because it’s only by suing the idiot – or threatening to do so – that she’s got any publicity to say anything. Ya can’t win.
I wish he’d come over here and make remarks like the “uncovered meat” one. Hey, why not give him the job of leading the MCB and see how long the government listens to them then!
Well they listened to them while they were saying “homosexuality leads to AIDS”: http://www.mcb.org.uk/downloads/AN-UP-TO-DATE.pdf
