Uncovered Meat = Women?

A Muslim cleric’s claim that women who do not wear the veil are like ‘uncovered meat’ who attract sexual predators sparked outrage around Australia yesterday.

Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, the nation’s most senior Muslim cleric, compared immodestly-dressed women who do not wear the Islamic headdress with meat that is left uncovered in the street and is then eaten by cats.

Uncovered Meat … I heard about calling a young woman a “Hamburger” as a term of endearment among teenagers. But this just sounds bad. I wander what Dr. Wafa Sultan would have to say about this ;)

    In Turkey,a Muslim country, they call girls
    “peanuts”. No joke!

    Perhaps they are more like uncovered legumes.

    I can see “Peanuts” being sort of cute I guess :) In Israel a famous movie has one of the main characters call a very large woman “Doovshania” which is sort of like cupcake. They all sound better then uncovered meat.
