Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali over reaction

The Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali AUSTRALIA'S leading Muslim cleric has made some comments regarding womens' dressing that have outraged Australia's media anyway.

There has been a total overeaction to his comments in my book. Yes I believe they are an extreme view quote compared immodestly dressed women to uncovered meat that attracted cats.

"The uncovered meat is the problem," he said.

"If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred."

What is occuring today in our society is also the other extreme view so why aren't we allowed to comment against?

For instance I won't let my children watch the music shows on 3 channels on Saturday mornings becuase of the absolute pornography that is accepted in this society as normal. Things like Christina Aqulera (not sure of spelling) grinding on top of men with nothing but skimpy underwear on is so accepted in this society that it is put on in children's time slots and the same goes for heaps of those clips they all seem to want to out do each other with the sexual content.

Personally I think the Sheik is onto something here! Sure I believe we as men should have more self discipline and self control not to have to have women wear a hijab and believe we as men should have enough self control and self discipline to allow women to dress to look pretty but to dress in a way that depicts sex or shows off parts of the body that excite men is irresponsible of women also.

And as most men know is that while they might not act on a thought and have the control not to want to act on a thought, they will nearly all have seen an attractive women dressed in a way that excites them and have a sexual thought. There are other reasons men might have sexual thoughts about women, I won't delve into.

But to have had the thought is just as evil a sin as to act and as Jesus said Mark 7 "19For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")

20He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' 21For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "

So it is men that are the problem here and women should understand that men have a great temptation of the flesh and should understand not to dress provocatively, not expect to change men. Men should also be responsible and have enough self discipline to allow women not to have to wear a Hijab.

But the main point being is that the Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali should be allowed to express his opinion, if this is a free country!

He doesn't threaten anyone with his comments but presents an insight into why he believes these assaults occur. It's one opinion and if we don't hear all extremes of the debate then we cannot find any middle ground.

As it is the current society is far too sexually explicit with advertising, movies, music video's and the way that seems to have children's sexy underwear lines in major clothing chains, showing the extremists in the no morals group are allowed to do anything they want without any responsibility or accountability..
