Saudi cleric favours one-eye veil

A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.

The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.

The niqab is more common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, but women in much of the Muslim Middle East wear a headscarf which covers only their hair.

Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.

The two-eyed look remains too seductive for Sheikh Habadan

Muzzies really are afraid of women.

Scantily clad and menstruating was apparently a VERY effective interrogation technique at GITMO until the Left freaked out and put a stop to it.

So, they want women to dress like the Elephant Man?

that reveals only one eye.

ROTFL!! Oh you can't make this stuff up.

They should make a burka with a mirrored sunglass visor over the eye hole... there problem solved.



Here's the burka of the future!

Future headline, “Millions of Muslim women in automobile accidents after new burkahs with one eye mandate is enforced”...lol

You forget they don’t allow their women to drive...

[GraceG]

In the land of the people blinded by moe-ham-ed the one eyed woman in a burqua is queen...

Why are these people so afraid of women?

Because they threaten islam's homosexual subculture.

These clerics are mysogynistic jerks. Amen!
