So, a woman could potentially remove the strict garb, as well as mobility issues if the men around her are family members, assuming she can feed them five meals of milk?

Odd, to say the least...

granted, it is a strange "solution", but what it does show is a willingness to adapt, to make changes.

If you're going to drink from a plastic bottle (nasty stuff), you might as well drink from the newer plastics, less BPA:


Honestly?

That is disgusting.......

I think someone is yanking the Islamic chain. Utterly ridiculous. What next - requiring that women give birth to female children only?

Actually coldstream is right on the money. Khomeini said some awfully strange things. Hubby or I posted a bunch of things that were quoted from his book.

Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini

Ayatollah Khomeini: Ten Quotes by the Father of the Islamic Republic of Iran | DBKP - Death By 1000 Papercuts - DBKP

Hmmm... crazy quotes there. So crazy I have a hard time believing them. I'd have to be convinced that those sites aren't spoofs. Khomeini was a murderous fanatic... but approving of sex with children and goats so openly and in his capacity as a cleric?! Hm.... Like I said, I'd need proof that those sites aren't spoofs.

Indeed. If this had not been reported in such a reputable source, one would think that this is a fake news story.

Utterly ridiculous. What next - requiring that women give birth to female children only?

Interestingly enough, I remember reading a puzzle on this subject in Scientific American.

A king of an Islamic country decided that what his country needs is more females, so that all men may practice polygamy. So he issued a decree, proclaiming that after a couple has a son, they must stop reproducing. His hope was that couples will have one daughter and one son, two daughters and one son, three daughters and one son and so on. So that each couple will have a maximum of one son, and one or more daughters. That way he hoped that the next generation will have many more females than males and then each man can fulfill his lifelong dream of owning four wives.

So the question arises, what was the ratio of female to male in one generation?

You all wanted to see Islam brought into the 21 century...well..... here's one of the small steps...... but I will lay odds, that not a single one of you will get it.
Let me guess, you are still breast-feeding? :D

lol.

lol Good point. But not all changes are good.

Read it yourself then: his book's called "Tahrirolvasyleh" or "Tahrir al Wasilah". You can even read it online here : index
And he wrote another called "Little Green Book" where he mentioned a few wacky things. It's his list of fatawah (plural of fatwa).
He also said that he had no interest in governing.
Face it, the guy was a total nutbar.

you are either still baby-need to be fed or getting older fastly-need to assert the contrary?
Didn't you know that men never grow up, they just become bigger kids. They spend the first nine months of life trying to get out of the womb and the rest of their lives trying to get back in.

Peggy Bundy (in Married with Children), put it rather differently. According to her, Bundy men don't want to come out of the womb, and once they come out, they don't want to get back in.

Well, the Islamic clerics are at it again, issuing fatwas right and left. Women in Saudi Arabia should give their breast milk to male colleagues and acquaintances in order to avoid breaking strict Islamic law forbidding mixing between the sexes, two powerful Saudi clerics have said. They are at odds, however, over precisely how the milk should be conveyed.

Sheikh Al Obeikan, an adviser to the royal court and consultant to the Ministry of Justice, set off a firestorm of controversy recently when he said on TV that women who come into regular contact with men who aren't related to them ought to give them their breast milk so they will be considered relatives.

"The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman," Al Obeikan said, according to Gulf News. "He should drink it and then becomes a relative of the family, a fact that allows him to come in contact with the women without breaking Islam's rules about mixing."

[FONT=&quot]But his remarks were followed by an announcement by another high-profile sheik, Abi Ishaq Al Huwaini, who said that men should suckle the breast milk directly from a woman's breast.

[/FONT] Shortly after the two sheiks weighed in on the matter, a bus driver in the country's Eastern Region reportedly told one of the female teachers whom he drives regularly that he wanted to suckle milk from her breast. The teacher has threatened to file a lawsuit against him.

It seems Islam gets weirder, more extreme, more vicious every day.

I think these men are so insecure in themselves they would just like to crawl back into the vomb. By law they can have four wives. So what do they do? Four wives at the time, and when he fancies another woman, well simply throw one of the wives out to create a vacancy and presto...
Where in the Koran does it say four wives at the time?
I think Muslims waste a tremendous resource by denying women equal rights and this is what will lead to their decline, unable to cope with the west where women are taking their rightful places in society, while Muslim men are still dreaming of suckling. No wonder their women must make themselves ugly in defense against these infantile urges.
