Kerala: Sunni leader says 'women only fit to deliver children'; calls gender equality 'un-Islamic'

[SarthakGanguly]

Many religious leaders of many religions have these kinds of views about women. It is just not limited to one religion. I don't see the Catholic women priests in churches, Hindu women Pundits in Temples, Sikh Women priests in Gurdwaras or Muslim Imams in Masjids.

what an absurd reasoning by this stupid so called leader of sunni

 

[SarthakGanguly]

The problem is, how many young people will he brainwash before he goes into a grave ?
We can do little to stop him talking.

He has done it. He is the chief ulema. He has spoken to all ulemas in Kerala. Who have infected most Imams. So most Muslims are aware of his views.

Hindu women Pundits in Temples

Hindu temple to have women, backward-caste priests - The Times of India
DK temple gets dalit women priests - The Times of India
Caste no bar: Women, non-Brahmins will be priests in Pandharpur temple - Firstpost

Plenty of other places you can find women priests, in my own state Melmaruvathur for ex. It just isnt publicized as much.

We are adaptable, not set in stone .

In a controversial remark, Sunni leader Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliar on Saturday described as "un-Islamic" the concept of gender equality and said that women could never equal men as "they are fit only to deliver children".

Musliar, the chief of All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama, said women have no mental strength and the power to control the universe, "which lies in the hands of men."

"Gender equality is something which is never going to be a reality. It is against Islam, humanity and was intellectually wrong," he said while speaking at a camp of Muslim Students Federation (MSF) in Kozhikode.

"Women can never equal men. They are fit only to deliver children. Women cannot withstand crisis situations," he said. He wondered if there was even a single woman among thousands of cardiac surgeons.

The 76-year-old Islamic scholar's remarks against reservation for women in elections had set off another controversy recently. He had said 50% reservation of seats for women in civic polls was "too high" but retracted the statement later when it became controversial.

Referring to the ongoing debates over allowing girls and boys to share seats in colleges, Musliar said it was "part of a calculated move to destroy Islam and culture." He also rubbished recent allegations regarding sexual exploitations at Madrasas and asked those who raised allegations to bring evidence to prove it.

A controversy had erupted recently after a woman journalist wrote an account on her Facebook wall about the alleged sexual abuse of young boys and girls in Madrasas.

Another gem from the most progressive state of India.

His views are surely not 'regressive' & 'patriarchal'. Don't be intolerant..he is using his right to FOE..& his ilk has first refusal to it.

Had it been Khap ... we would have been discussing Hindu Taliban narrative.

Let him speak his theories from bygone era. Poor old chap can't comprehend modern times.

Well this idiot has a lot of 'fans' in Kerala
