Why? Because five to ten percent of all men can’t control themselves when they see a woman without a veil
From the desk of Filip van Laenen
According to Mostafa Chendid of the Danish Islamic Society (Islamisk Trossamfund), not only Muslim women but other women too should wear a veil. Why? Because five to ten percent of all men can’t control themselves when they see a woman without a veil.
Mostafa Chendid is considered to be the successor of Ahmad Abu Laban, one of the imams who was involved in the affair around the notorious Danish cartoons. Ahmad Abu Laban was one of the leaders of the delegation that traveled around the Middle East and that had added three drawings to the original cartoons in its report to “give a clearer picture of the climate against Muslims in Denmark.” Mostafa Chendid is doing well to become just as famous as his predecessor, and the interview that he recently gave to the Danish weekly newspaper Weekendavisen certainly isn’t going to reduce the controversy around his person.Earlier he had already succeeded to draw attention to himself by saying to Jyllands-Posten (that’s right: the newspaper with the cartoons) that not only Muslim women, but all other women too, should wear a veil, on… International Women’s Day. Of course, this resulted in a lot of reactions, and as a matter of fact his remarks in Jyllands-Posten were the direct reason for the interview with Weekendavisen, where he repeated them once more and commented on them. He said for example that wearing the veil is a woman’s duty to God, because that’s what’s written in the Koran. However, that doesn’t mean that he thinks that a woman with a veil is a better person than a woman without a veil.
