Saudi cleric favours one-eye veil
http://news.bbc.co.uk ^

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.

Why not let them look out with TWO eyes, and put a ONE WAY MIRROR, so that no one can look into their eyes, and yet they can see 20/20.

Okay, question: Why don’t they make the livestock wear veils?

Insane as Rosie’s monkey. One eye, two eye, what’s the difference, as long as they leave that lushish space between the eyes uncovered, and maybe a little eyelid. This is a religion which needs a collective toke and massage.

“Saudi Cleric Favours One-Eye Veil”.
Well, there’s nothing stopping him from wearing one.

This is absolutely stupid. I’m an eye doctor and in my professional opinion it would impair their depth perception and possibly cause amblyopia in younger women.

It would affect their ability to drive, dance, play sports.... oh wait they aren’t permitted to do any of these things??? In that case carry on you looney bastiges!

The Muslims have bombs in their Buicks, their women in bags, and their heads up their butts. Anyone who takes these barbarians seriously is a fool.

Would this ass hat require this proposed veil, if the women are burned and disfigured, or would that cool him down a bit?
