A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.
Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.
The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.
The niqab is more common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, but women in much of the Muslim Middle East wear a headscarf which covers only their hair.
Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.

Yay isnt a masochistic and androcratic country fun to live in if your a woman! I think the issue is whether this is merely something that is cultrally accepted in other Muslim countries or whether it is veiwed as being a step too far? But from my western perspective it is insane that women should be subjected to this because eye make up will make them look seductive.

have u seen what they were inside their coverings????? LOL oh la la ..

Yeah, the clothes they wear underneath basically counterbalance the Niqab. I dunno why he thinks one eye is better than lace over the eye slit, the Burqa is the top level, you can't improve on how much it covers up.

Or how much idiocy it exposes.

[Djûn]

Well... showing only one eye would cut current eye make-up expenses in half. Apart from that surely this seems pretty standard from what I know about Saudi Arabia.

Next they'll expect the women to wear box shaped outfits, since they womenly figure itself is seductive.

...and talk by tapping out morse code because the female voice is seductive.

You know, the more these Islamic-extremist types of women are forcibly covered up by the men who abuse them, the more I want to seduce one of these mysterious hard-to-attain chicks and find out what they're like underneath, if you catch my meaning.

Religion is not the reason for this, it is culture

Saudi Arabia: The poster boy example of what not to do!

[Claudius Gothicus]

This only leads me to 2 conclusions

1- Every man in Saudi Arabia is a potential rapist so they have to avoid rape by hiding every woman from public view.

2-They are a bunch of misogynist motherers.

3-Saudi women are so sexy they will fry your brain and turn you into a bulging phallus with feet.

It won't be long before he covers the other eye and then you'll see a lot of woman hitting light poles.
