Mufti sahib is spouting bullsh*&.
This is a common claim by religious conservatives, of blaming ' media, movies, revealing clothing' etc as 'provoking men into committing rapes. It's essentially blaming the victim.
Regardless of how women dress on the street or on TV, men are solely responsible for their actions. Arguing that 'men get provoked into' or are 'incapable of controlling their inner animal because of sexualised images on TV' is just nonsense.
A vast majority of men don't commit sexual crimes despite being exposed to the very same images and content on TV, film, web etc.
There is no 'middle path' on sexual assault/harassment. The culprit is solely responsible for his/her actions. How the victim dressed or acted or sexualized content in the media has absolutely no relevance on these crimes.
The root causes behind sexual assaults are (among others) in fact the very attitude displayed by Mufti Sahib, of deflecting attention from the lack of respect inculcated by parents, schools and the media towards others (women, Ahmadis, Jews, Shia etc etc) by blaming 'fahashi'.

Men and only men are responsible for their actions.
This is a completely different issue and discussion.
Best comment by far on this thread.
