Here is something from the same link and news.

////Sheikh Mohammed al-Jzlana, a former judge at the Saudi Board of Grievances, told the news channel that Sheikh Daoud's remarks had made the faith look bad.

He urged people to ignore unofficial religious edicts, which he said were administered under special regulations set by Saudi authorities, which also appoints those entitled to issue them.

The former judge said covering baby girls with burkas was 'an injustice' to children./////

And then out of that this is more important,


////He urged people to ignore unofficial religious edicts,/////

But unfortunately he does not know that few people will never ignore anything as an opinion of a stupid person when it comes to Islam. Perhaps especially on AB.

Fred, //Is there some direction from St Paul on the topic?//

1 Corinthians 11:5 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

1 Corinthians 11:6 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

And unsurprisingly …….

1 Corinthians 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

"When I was a kid women avoided going out looking like whores. Now in some parts of the country it appears to be mandatory."

Why SP1814, your aura of inclusivity is slipping. Are you perhaps guilty of judging a book by it's cover?

may be a good idea for perverts, so they can tell baby girls from baby boys, and know which ones to drool over. The idiot should be castrated.

Stupid man - these outpourings from minor clerics unfortunately get more publicity than they deserve.

[boxtops]

cecil, if you castrated the Sheik, it wouldn't stop him talking....

[naomi24]

^^Maybe a cork up his nether regions? Just an idea. ;o)

[vulcan]

☝boxtops, that would depend on what you do with the "castoffs".

[naomi24]

^^ There's another idea. :o)

i see women walking around the capital, heads bowed, towing children, shopping, buggies, veiled and silent. Many are so heavily robed that not one little part of their anatomy is showing, not sure what to make of this trend, except to say i would rather see a lady of the night plying her trade, short skirt and all, than this despicable corruption on women's place in the world.
Please note, you can't tell what a w hore looks like, could be your friend, sister, mother, aunt, she may be doing it because she likes it, more like needs the money, is on drugs, and if high class, putting herself through uni.

But what use would a burkha be if it was the child's father who presented the danger?

"Cleric Says Newborn Baby Girls Should Wear The Burkha"

This is a stupid idea and an unhealthy one.

Prostitutes are victims of men.
