Though there is a difference of degree, I don’t see a big difference of kind between that Saudi cleric’s desire to punish women for men’s apparent inabilites to control their penis, and Mormonism’s (as well as other more “normal” religions’) prohibition against things like “excessive” earringage, or women revealing legs or shoulders, or *gasp* the midriff.

All religion in crazy in my opinion.

I say stick these men from Saudi Arabia who can’t control their urges in the middle of the Castro or the West Village during Hallowe’en and see how crazy they go. I’d love to see a fabulous muscly drag queen beat these men down.

My girlfriend, in college, had a roommate who habitually wore headscarves and it gave me the idea. Why should Muslim women have to pay the price if it’s the men who experience uncontrollable lust at the sight of them?
