Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali over reaction

I've commented before in regards to the total overeaction to the Sheiks comments on rape. Sure I don't agree that it is the women's fault and women shouldn't have to cover up but why are we judging so harshly? I mean the rapists don't get the sort of attention as the Sheik and he only made a comment based on his beliefs.

I for one would like to hear more of what the Muslims believe in so we can be all aware of what to expect from that culture.

But to put things into perspective, I will use the analogy of a shop/store and security.

It is totally wrong that people will steal from a shop/store but does that mean the shopkeeper does nothing to prevent theft just because it is wrong? No he puts in security measures. They could be anything from a small camera, locks on the door to full on security service in larger stores.

Now the same goes with women in our society. It is totally wrong that they can be rapped or attacked, it shouldn't happen but it does! So does that mean women don't do anything to protect themselves??

Dressing sensibly is one approach that should be discussed! Too much pornography on t.v. with women dressed in nothing or just barely dressed, women walking down the streets in sexy lingerie and the like is not conjusive to a save environment, especially where there a men that are sick enough to rape a women.

But the approach at the moment is lets attack anyone that makes a comment, while women feel they have the right to walk around in nothing.

And the worst part is they only wear nothing or next to nothing to attract attention to themselves so they can feel good that someone noticed, and then the sick person notices and the consequences are disgusting.

So a bit of responsibility on what a women wears is not asking too much is it?
