Hey Gals, Check This Out

While feminist activists focus on indicting President Bush, the Muslim world's shrill obsession with controlling every aspect of women's lives becomes more surreal every day:

India's leading female tennis player has been subjected to a fatwa by a Muslim cleric for wearing short skirts and revealing tops on the international tennis circuit...
"The dress she wears on the tennis courts... leaves nothing to the imagination," Haseeb-ul-hasan Siddiqui told The Hindustan Times. "She will undoubtedly be a corrupting influence." He said she should follow the example of Iranian women who wore long tunics and headscarves to play in the Asian Badminton Championships.

Muslim men can't control themselves when they see women's shins. So obviously, it makes 100% sense to blame the women. Also good to see that the self-declared international defenders of women have their priorities straight.
