Wil's Rant

Essentially he called unscarfed women "uncovered meat". Now I'm no Muslim scholar, but I understand that the Koran says words to the affect that no person should be objectified. It is in observation of the doctrine that many Muslim women remain covered in public. My understanding is that the doctrine applies to men and women equally, not just women. I don't feel that the simple act of noticing a person's beauty is the same as objectifying them unless one becomes overly impassioned as a result. The person who can't control such thoughts is the one at fault, not the person who possesses the beauty. To call someone uncovered meat simply because they go in public unscarfed, to me, seems every bit as much an objectification as the person who lusts as a result Muslim, and all others, women, and men for that matter, should be free to dress as they feel appropriate according to their own individual beliefs without having to worry about flaming rapist attitudes in those around them. Any resulting lust is the fault of the one who thinks it and is their own failing. All life is beautiful in it's natural form. That beauty should never have to be feared but should, instead, be appreciated for what it is.
