A new fatwa aims to “discipline women and save them from turning immoral,” by banning them from watching the bare legs of men playing football.
The inferior status for women is enshrined in Sharia. Women are mandated to cover up, lest they be abused. Despite the constant assertion that the hijab, niqab and burqa are not religiously mandated:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
If a woman does not cover, she may be assaulted, and it is her faul:
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
So women must take responsibility for a man’s thoughts. It is her fault if she wears clothing that may tempt him to sin, and it is still her fault if her own mind wanders at the sight of a man with “bare knees” and “exposed thighs”:
Another fatwa has been issued from Uttar Pradesh’s Deoband, trying “to discipline women and save them from turning immoral.”
The latest bans them from watching football, fearing they might get attracted to the bare knees and exposed thighs of the players.
Saudi Arabia issued a similar ban in 2015.
“Muslim women shouldn’t watch football, says new fatwa”, Newsbytes India (thanks to The Religion of Peace), January 29, 2018:
Another fatwa has been issued from Uttar Pradesh’s Deoband, trying “to discipline women and save them from turning immoral.”
The latest bans them from watching football, fearing they might get attracted to the bare knees and exposed thighs of the players.
Mufti Athar Kasmi of Deoband says it’s haraam for women to look at men at all, reported India Today.
Kasmi’s fatwa borrows from a similar ban issued in 2015 by Sheikh Saad Al Hajari, a Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia.
“They (women) will be looking at footballers’ thighs and all their attention will be on that. They wouldn’t even care about the competition or scores,” Hajari had said.
He even slammed men for “allowing” their wives to watch football.
Hajari is known for issuing deeply misogynistic fatwas. He has previously banned women from driving “because they have a quarter of a brain”.
Closer home, Deoband’s Islamic school Darul Uloom in October 2017 banned Muslim women from plucking, trimming, shaping eyebrows, cutting hair or visiting beauty parlors…..

So it’s not just the men who are sex-obsessed. That explains the birth-rate then.

I am a healthy female. FOOTBALL DOES NOT TURN ME ON ,,,,,in fact, more like …..off
Save Europe says
Let’s not have a dig at football. I love the sport, but I also watch tennis extensively. As a male, if I watch women’s tennis, it’s about their talent, and not their legs. Let’s criticise the mindset of Muslim men – that’s the big picture here ?

Now how stupid is this…ball player thighs?? Still showing the stupidness in this so called religion.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Thighs are a touchy subject in islam.
madpatriot says
No they demand they have lots of children for when they take over the world for Islam!
They are a totalitarian government system that has no sense, no acceptance of others,
believe in what a terrorism maniac wrote; which is the Quran, demand that all the world
change to their ways or die, take over wherever they go and insinuate themselves into
everything in other countries to make people accept their insanity. It is of the Deak Ages
the way they think and live expecting the world to kowtow to their evil and sickness. There
is not freedom and they treat their own like animals…worse than in fact though they do not
like dogs who bark…and other animals they use in other fulgar ways. They can believe as
they chose, but HAVE NO RIGHT OR REASON TO EXPECT EVERYONE OF ANY OTHER
BELIEFS OR COUNTRY TO DO AS THEY DO OR LIKE THEM AT ALL! INSANITY REIGNS
AMONG THEM HEAVILY! WHY in all that makes sense do other countries simply say NO to
them and that they will nto change for them and that if they are to be in their country they assimilate or don’t come! Tell them to stop pushing their evil on everyone in their own nation…AND THAT GOES FOR AMERICA TOO! I hope I do nto encounter any of them for I WILL tell them where they can take their rubbish and if they are to live here they do not butt into what they have no right to!…..or better yet, give them a good Sunday School lesson and a copy fo the Bible, which is after all the only truth there is and the only hope for mankind. Muslims and islam equal satan. The Bible, the real God and Jesus equal Christianity and the only truth for those that want to go to heaven, not hell. It is sickening that no one has the guts to stand up speak up and be patriots here or anywhere that those disgusting people show up in…they are totally ignorant to who they are and MUST learn to avoid the total ruination of all freedoms and what they built their countries to be…as we did. The Middle East is where they belong and nowhere else. If they persist in this insanity of pushing the evil of islam, they will be pounded into the sand and shown that freedom means more to most as does true faith means more than anything,
especially anything they can possible offer.
Salah says
How about the exposed thighs of…Muhammad!!
“The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet.”

Sharyati says
Idiots. How do these specimens exist still on the surface of the planet? Shameless rascals. On a side note here is link to an article about Alaudin Khilji, a barbaric Jihadi, a looter and rapist par excellence
http://indiafacts.org/terror-unlimited-staggering-loot-lust-alauddin-khilji/
Sadly this Jihadi rascal is being portrayed as an incurable romantic in an Indian moving called padmavati ofcourse supported by local indian islamic Bum lickers. An obfuscation of history is going on and Jihad is being whitewashed through the movies too.
Sharyati says
Yeah Jay Boo sad. This practically happens in all films. In this movie, AK(Alaudin Khilji) is portrayed as winning over Queen Padmavati not only in battle but also her heart. But the real history is Padmavati actually commited Sati to escape the abomination of having be his sex slave. The queens descendants are fuming over this false portrayal but the shameless appeasers had their way in the end. The same thing happened in another movie Jodha Akbar, where Akbar was portrayed as a romantic, despite being a killer of 25000 hindus to attain the title of Ghazi. Very very frightening trend!!! Despite having a so called “Hard Hindu right wing” party in power, nothing has changed.
madpatriot says
There Is nothing whatever romantic, decent or honest about muslim men as they are barbarians who believe any woman will do for now and that their wives (plural) are to be beaten into submission, subjugated all her life and that any children are his property too! Boys taught to hate and kill in school, girls mutilated and subjugated like the mothers and not taught in school so they can have their own way to go. Why? Because they are expected to be subservient to men all of their lives too- as will their daughters and so on…wear the ridiculous burka and scarves, which are impractical as they are ugly!. They live in endless darkage insanity and evil. Islam is not a religion, it is a cult that is of satan and is evil, cruel, sickening and no one in the world with a brain or sense should accept these maniacs as anything but savages! In a world full of Christianity, technology and education that these crazy people still exist believing in such uncivilized living in a world that past them by a couple of thousand years plus ago! It all began with Ishmael Abraham’s illegitimate son..who yes, was told by God (the real one) that he would be over a large nation…which became Islam/muslims! Isaac’s however became Israel, the promised land from God the Father for all time! No wonder they cannot get along!
Learn about them, what they really stand for and realize they are a vermin among us all that has to be put in its place and stop all of the insanity of trying to kowtow to them and their insanitys! It is like when the natzi’s were listened to– only worse! NO ONE HAS TO!
Granddaddy says
Yeah, Muhammad! Get a load of those thighs! I don’t get it. Can no-one Muslim control themselves? The man can’t look at a woman unless she’s covered with a garbage bag, and now the women can’t watch football. What a joke.
Kay says
Bizarre bizarre creed. It never occurred to women to watch thighs. Isn’t it the soccer ball that goes into the goal? sarc/off
J Smith says
The “wisdom” of islam is demonstrated everyday. From flying mules to sexy thighs, islam can only be embraced by illiterates living in the seventh century.
Prabh108 says
This fetish of covering up entire body is really something extremely pathological.
Unless someone can see body how can art be created? Now, advanced persons can see through third eye vision – with eyes closed some great ones can visualize and have darshan of perfect body – but most people have to actually look with physical eyes (darshan) in order to create art or view sports – it is best to participate in sports instead of wasting time watching sports – but sometimes it is fun to watch sports. Remember, Islam prohibits fun – what a deadly cult.
Life is for ethical pleasure.

Old farts decide what’s “ok” for you and what not. Like we had in the Middle Ages. Well, actually, never. The church tried it and never really succeeded.

Muslims are almost as preoccupied with sex as Hollywood. That seems to be their main concern in life – SEX, always SEX. How disgusting.
It would be best for the entire world if all Muslims wore burkas and migrated to a strictly Muslim area of the world. Stay away from the West.

Well, of course such a great scholar has an intelligent reason for this fatwa: if women started looking at athletes’ thighs, they would realized the scrawny, rickety cousin they got stuck with for a husband was a raw deal from Hell. Who knows what fitna would arise!
On the other hand, maybe he starts to drool when he sees sweaty men’s thighs, so he assumes women do the same.

As I said earlier, household pets have the same or more rights and privileges than women under Islam.

It is the Imam’s themselves who are attracted to the bare legs of male soccer players. Yes these Imams are homoerotic themselves. They want the bare legs of the soccer players for themselves!
Man/boy love arrangements are common in Afghanistan. USA troops have tried to stamp it out. Some of the Muslim men who participate in this have children of their own.
What a travesty!
