I had to take a double take on this one. The logic is crazy, in fact the entire thing is just crazy.

 

[Case]

Evidence that there's still some backward idiots on this planet.
Not like we were in desperate need for more.

It is sort of genius, when you think about it. Mad genius of course, but still!! :lol:

It is the sort of thing that leads people to consider a clitoral hood "nick" instead of full-on mutilation: reasonable people are trying to carve out a place for reasonable solutions to problems that only exist because their culture is batshit crazy. You sort of have to admire it.

Give an A for effort in the logical mind bending he accomplishes
But a D- for actual logic

I presume this doesn't apply to anyone on a low fatwa diet?

Best quote:

"The whole issue just shows how clueless men are," blogger Eman Al Nafjan wrote on her website. "All this back and forth between sheiks and not one bothers to ask a woman if it's logical, let alone possible to breastfeed a grown man five fulfilling breast milk meals.

I see they also brought up the case of that poor widow who had her 'breast-milk son' alone at her place. She was punished anyway, I think that shows this work around wouldn't really fly.

I like how adding illogical ad hoc rules on top of one another is the only thing these backwards-thinking sci-fi nerds can think of.

Here's a thought: Remove the stupid rule that women are not allowed to mix with men. Stop adding more dumb rules to fix up the loopholes.

Unlawful mixing between the sexes is taken very seriously in Saudi Arabia. In March 2009, a 75-year-old Syrian widow, Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, living in the city of Al-Chamil, was given 40 lashes and sentenced to six months in prison after the religious police learned that two men who were not related to her were in her house, delivering bread to her.

Wow that's ridiculous. I'm (for some reason) constantly surprised at how bat shit crazy religions can get.
