Comments on: Godbag of the Week http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2006/10/26/godbag-of-the-week/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

You’re my messenger in necessity, Satan tells women you‘re my weapon to bring down any stubborn man. There are men that I fail with. But you’re the best of my weapons.”</i></blockquote> And the other half would be…? No, couldn’t be men. Probably cats. Those pesky little soldiers of Satan, always satanically playing with balls of wool and drinking saucers of milk… Actually I would read it as "a woman is half human and half Satan's soldier" or starts out as already being halfway to hell. It fits well with the rest of the comment about using a woman on a stubborn man, someone he's not able to budge without help. The quote would be "Satan sees women as half <b>of</b> his soldiers." to mean it the way you're thinking based on your comment.

"However the Sheikh later clarified his comments, telling the newspaper he only meant to refer to prostitutes as meat, and not any scantily clad woman without a hijab." So if you put a rental sign on the meat and someone steals it ... no, wait, I'm still confused by the mysterious person who put the meat out in the first place. It's not the woman, because she's the meat and you can't really be both the actor and the object. It's not the rapist, because he's an innocent kitty. Are we down to blaming God for the meat's being out there? Terrible thing for a religious leader to say. I heart his “clarification.”

So, men have brains smaller than those of cats?

Answer 2: Men can't be raped. Answer 3: That would never happen because men's bodies aren't naturally tempting like women's are, and because women possess a passive sexuality and men possess an aggressive one. Can't help it, it's nature! Answer: All of you is the meat.

Actualy the worst part was where he said the judges who gave the “cats” 50 years of jail time were lacking in mercy, because it was the fault of the meat, obviously

Not to denegrate *real* cats or anything but isn’t it also debasing of men to refer to them as animals with no self control?

It looks like he's being stripped of his congregation and his cred, and run out on a rail, as well he should. And other local leaders have already stepped up not only to call his comments on women vile, but to point out that he's casting men as animals, too. I hope they get a better imam soon.
