		<description>Very well said indeed.

Maybe we should start prohibitting money.  You never know when the next time will be that I get the urge to steal from that arrogant bastard who took out his wallet in front of me.  He was asking for it after all.</description>

		<description>Sexual appeal is definitly part of the human naure.  Therefore, covering feminine characteristics is inhuman.  It&#039;s like saying: We should be ashamed of what the Mather Nature has given us. This is, of course ignoance.  Western wemen are right to spread sexual alure and charm. Muslem wemen look like sombies and unattractive, because of the stupid rules imposed by religious leaders. It&#039;s time for muslim wemen to emancipate themselves and demand equal rights with men.  Not to be dominated and enslaved by them.

		<description>Don&#039;t stifle your conscience to make a point, Greg. It is dishonest. Sexual predators come in all sexes, but save yourself the ostrich syndrone--you and I and little Ricky here,  know that most of them are men.

Not that I condone the women who do the same, and unlike you, I make no excuse for them because I share their gender. But I won&#039;t give you a free pass by confusing this discussion as a battle of the sexes, because it is not.  It never was and thanks to many noble and honorable men on this blog, it never will be.

Interesting that you would think ,I would easily be distracted and ignore snide little retorts, such as the one you made above.

I feel deeply hurt.  What have I ever blogged to give you that impression!</description>

		<description>Are men the only &quot;sexual predators who walk among us&quot;?  What about the woman who shot at another woman who shuned her sexual advances and killed a security guard?</description>

		<description>Al Haj Mujtaba Nasir, men who rape, men, boys, women, babies, old ladies are sickos! (mentally ill and in need to psychiatric intervention). Their victims&#039;s dress- style, pants-size or diaper-colour, did not cause them to view their victims as sex-objects, it is their own delusional minds. 

Rape is a crime of power, not passion. You write as though it is. You are ill-informed. You may want to read up on the psychology of the rapists and I also recomment reading up on a book or three where the victim was able to share with the rest of the world who he or she was before and after the rape. Short of that, you are telling us what you think, not writing a letter based on sound logic, common sense and only the facts, only the facts. 

I suggest you update your mental data-bank.

It may interest you to note, that most of the world has long moved on from blaming the victims to what to do now with these sexual predators who walk among us.

And it may also interest you to note that many of the victims of rape are children, some of them boys! So stop this ignorance and spend your time enlightening the readers of SN. Have some pride. This letter you wrote is nonsense.

		<description>I think that Al Haj Mujtaba Nasir passing himself off with an Arab name does not give him the right to make such an assassine statement: &quot;that western clothes dehumanise women into sex objects&quot;. In the Arab world and many Islamic countries women are covered from head to toe and still they are being abused in their own homes. So please don&#039;t blame the clothes for the way men treat their women when they start following the teachings of the Holy Prophet and the Koran without their twisted interpretation then you can preach to the choir in the meantime

Maybe you should pay heed to your own advice &quot;That person would need to have his head examined who believe that Islam permits the maltreatment and enslavement of women, or any other group in the society. &quot;</description>

		<description>Here we go again... I will like to ask Mr. Nasir a question, who sees women as sex symbols? Isn&#039;t it men, the opposite sex. In this case i think the problems lies with men and not women and It&#039;s time we stop treating women as lesser human beings. In this golden age, where knowledge is probably at its peak, we should not demonstrate prejudice to any entity. The golden rule states, do onto others as you would want be done to you. So if a woman should only have her face and hands visible then so should men and don&#039;t tell me about GOD. For too long, men (humans) have used the god concept for their own benefits and there are mountains of examples to attest to this.

In the various indigenous communities around the world, women and men go almost naked and the thought you outline is hardly evident. Is it, that there lay, within the indigenous communities, a supreme consciousness that does not exist in the modern thinking? You must be aware that all societies of the world developed along differing paths; hence their outlook on life/world is different. However different, none of these societies has the answers to the world&#039;s problems and history also has shown when one try to trump his/her values above others the only result is disaster.

My outlook on life is different and unique, no other person in this world sees this world, we live in, like I do and in contrast to your view and upbringing, I see no problem with the way women dress at the grand slam(s), or how they dress in general but what I do see/notice is man (male gender) inability to control himself under various circumstances especially when it comes to the females sex. 

In this case psychotherapy is necessary.</description>

		<description>&quot;Apparently westerners are unable to make the connection between (un)dress and innumerable teenage pregnancies....&quot; Teenage Muslim girls in the Arab/Islamic countries and even in North America are covered from head to foot, yet you see them pushing baby strollers with broods in tow. They even marry their own first cousins! We&#039;re not living in antiquity, Al Haj Mujtaba Nasir.</description>
