Default You're kidding, right?

Uh-huh, yeah, right.

So let me get this straight, this cleric is saying a woman will be in danger of fornication if she is masturbation; that a woman will open herself to health problems in probing fingers and "objects" if she opens her sensitive areas; that she could bring dishonor on her by masturbating; that she could be "flogged" for "fornicating" with herself.

Okay, you got to be kidding, right?!

He's not kidding is he?

Geez, where do I start.

I won't belittle the faith of Islam by lashing out at all of Islam because I think it is not the right tract to go. I do believe the cleric (and other male leaders in the faith) speak much but no little regarding a woman's health and choices with her body. If Islam (as does Christianity) want to keep the faithful to follow the faith it would behoove them to really need to update their knowledge about a woman's body, sexual health, and their inner needs.

I'd also say there needs to be less of the religious law and more of reality for women. I don't think asking Muslim women to just westernize their life and style is the answer, but I think many women of the faith are probably figuring out things themselves without the need for clerics to dictate every aspect of their lives for them. I saw a few ads on AdultFriendFinders.com and found there were women in Saudi Arabia who pursue the search engines in finding other couples/women/men to engage with on some level of sexuality. Will the religious clerics and police take the time to comb through every sex site and relationship membership trying to find any followers on their in hopes of catching them in the act and enacting punishment on them? Let's hope not.

I do think as the Islamic world enters into the rest of society in general it will have some major struggles with women regarding how they want to view themselves. But just watching the cleric breakdown a woman's body and needs as if they have a vagina and breast themselves is laughable if it wasn't so seriously adhered to in most Muslim culture.
