A Muslim sheik told followers at a public meeting in Bankstown that women who were raped had incited men's lust by dressing immodestly and only had themselves to blame.
Sydney-born Sheik Faiz Mohamad, 34, a former boxer who teaches at the Global Islamic Youth Centre in Liverpool, made the comments during a lecture for more than 1000 people at Bankstown Town Hall.
The Sun-Herald has a recording of the March 18 speech in which Sheik Faiz said: "A victim of rape every minute somewhere in the world. Why? No one to blame but herself. She displayed her beauty to the entire world
"Strapless, backless, sleeveless, nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blouses, miniskirts, tight jeans: all this to tease man and appeal to his carnal nature."
He compared a woman dressed in such a way to a sheep. "Would you put this sheep that you adore in the middle of hungry wolves? No It would be devoured. It's the same situation here. You're putting this precious girl in front of lustful, satanic eyes of hungry wolves. What is the consequence? Catastrophic devastation, sexual harassment, perversion, promiscuity."
The invitation to the $15-a-head lecture stipulated modest dress and "strict male and female segregation". It was promoted as a lecture about "death" in flyers and on the website of the ICRA Youth Centre in Lidcombe, an Islamic community group which sponsored the evening.

It's been doing so with pride and efficiency since the 7th Century, which, to its aficionados, seems like just yesterday...
People should dress any way they frigging please without getting assaulted!!!
That said, I do agree with you somwhat, but why bring that up on this thread....
agreed!!!!!!!
cold rage is more useful than hot rage.
do not discuss what you feel, intend, or eventually do - with anyone. word to the wise.
I have no idea why young women today think they have to dress like trash with their pelvic bones showing. Thank you Brittany Spears? My daughter has always been very conservative in her dress, but my step daughter dresses like a lady of the night wannabe. She even showed up at her grandfather's birthday party in some see-through lingerie top with a matching bra underneath. Somebody told me that's the "style" now. My daddy would have beat me into yesterday if I'd showed up somewhere looking like that. He's 80 years old now, and he'd still do it.
Less foreplay than with camels.
Well, I disagree. I think it disgusting to see a girl with rolls of fat on her belly hanging over her too tight jeans. A little decency goes a long way.
Shame on the Australian politicians who imported this garbage into their homeland.
hmmmmmmmmmm
You may have something there.
I've read just about the same thing here, from freepers!!!
on this very thread even.....
I don't entirely disagree with him. There would be a lot fewer rapes if it wasn't for so many women dressing provocatively. And not to mention that the vast majority of rapes occur in locations where god-fearing women shuoldn't be in in the first place, ie seedy bars and nightclubs and dark alleys and who know what.
What you can't control yourself?
Haven't I seen your posts somewhere before?
So if it's OK for Muslim men to rape women who look like "sluts", is it OK for Americans to assault men who look like Muslims?
Ah, no, I didn't think so...
We are surely doomed.
