Malaysian Women Too Hot for Muslim Men

This what happens when the dumb-ole-farts are in charge. Malaysia's Kelantan state is ruled by a Muslim party that adheres to Islamic standards -- whatever the hell that is. They recently raised the spectre of fines to non-Muslim women in the state who may be violating the Islamic dress code for women, which doesn't allow women to "expose flesh or wear anything sexy." The government backed down from the fines, but not their position, after criticism from the population and national government.

The head of the local Kelantan government gave the following reason for wanting the fines: "We just do not want bad things to happen to them [women]. By exposing their flesh and figure in public, they are just inviting trouble." Yes, that's right, a Muslim government that are concerned about the welfare of their female population. Well, here's an idea for those really concerned: how about starting to treat women as equals? how about acknowledging that they can think for themselves? how about punishing those that cause trouble instead of accusing women of inciting men?
