Egyptian Sheikh: A woman's face is like a vagina


Pot, consider yourself stirred: A Salafist Sheikh in Egypt says a woman’s face is like a vagina.

“What is a veil? A veil is what covers the woman’s face. Therefore the woman’s face is like her vagina,” Sheik Abou Ishak al-Houwayni was quoted on the Elaph news website as saying.

His remarks were in reference to a discussion of the late Egyptian feminist, Hoda Shaarawi, who became the first woman to publicly remove her veil in a Cairo train station in 1923.

Houwayni is essentially arguing that the reason a woman’s face should be fully covered is because, like a vagina, it attracts men.

I am no longer surprised by disgusting displays of religious conservatism coming from sexually repressed men who’ve likely never even seen a vagina; they just feel around “down there,” while glancing away and mumbling something to Allah.
