Unveiled women are like uncovered meat.

Yeah someone actually said that. Specifically, a senior Australian Muslim cleric.

A senior Australian Muslim cleric triggered national outrage today for likening women who dress immodestly to meat that is left out for prey to eat.
Sheik Taj Aldin al Hilali’s spokesman said the cleric’s comments in a sermon last month to mark the Islamic holy month of Ramadan had been taken out of context in a report in The Australian newspaper.
But the spokesman, Keysar Trad, did not challenge the accuracy of the paper’s translation.
“If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden, or in the park, or in the backyard without cover, and the cats come to eat it … whose fault is it, the cats’ or the uncovered meat’s?”

Concluding that it is the fault of the uncovered meat. But how can meat cover itself, isn’t it usually I dunno, unable to move? His metaphor is faulty.
