Stone Age?

The National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia - who are out to declare the school uniform far too licentious for public viewing. According to Munirah Bahari - vice-president of said association, covering up according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex - possibly leading to babies born out of wedlock and prostitution.

Without adding fuel to the already raging inferno that her verbal diarrhea has created, I am still baffled that a supposedly 'educated' woman of her stature thinks that by a SCHOOL GIRL wearing a white blouse / baju kurung top would cause males (and I'm again, deeply offended by her assumptions) to lose their restraint / self control and rape the person.

Are we to assume then that all ladies in tudungs and baju kurungs are uneducated baffoons who grovel at their husband's feet and come only when summoned? That they are all supposed to be 'holy and wholesome'? *trust me, I've met some tudung-ed ladies who are SO not that* Isn't that the 'general perception' of ladies in tudungs? Oh I'm sorry - did I touch a nerve?

How about the ladies who ARE dressed up 'Islamic'-cally and totally covered up and are still raped? How about the babies in diapers? How about the little children?

Can't these people face the fact that there are some depraved individuals (male AND female included) who just do depraved things irregardless of how another person is dressed up? It isn't about how the person is dressed - consider upbringing, moral values and beliefs, how possibly manic depressive and / or depraved a person is. Are you saying Ms. Munirah that girls and women who wear these kinds of clothings actually deserve the raping they get? Because they are temptresses?

Seriously?

Seriously!

Just as she's entitled to her opinion, I am entitled to shoot it down just as quickly as she spewed it out.

Damn woman.
