Council of Islamic Ideology declares women’s existence anti-Islamic



Islamabad - Sharia Correspondent: The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) concluded their 192nd meeting on Thursday with the ruling that women are un-Islamic and that their mere existence contradicted Sharia and the will of Allah. As the meeting concluded CII Chairman Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani noted that women by existing defied the laws of nature, and to protect Islam and the Sharia women should be forced to stop existing as soon as possible. The announcement comes a couple of days after CII’s 191st meeting where they dubbed laws related to minimum marriage age to be un-Islamic.
After declaring women to be un-Islamic, Shirani explained that there were actually two kinds of women – haraam and makrooh. “We can divide all women in the world into two distinct categories: those who are haraamand those who are makrooh. Now the difference between haraam andmakrooh is that the former is categorically forbidden while the latter is really really disliked,” Shirani said.

From Wikipedia: Council of Islamic Ideology (Urdu: اِسلامی نظریاتی کونسِل) is a constitutional body responsible for giving legal advice on Islamic issues to the Government of Pakistan and the Parliament.

Pasto,
I've done some digging. I think that the article is satire along the lines of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal."

Pastorius said...

It does sound like satire.

Why do you think that?

I believe there is a fatwa against Satire in the Islamic world.

Pastorius,
I looked at some of the other material that the author had written.

I believe there is a fatwa against Satire in the Islamic world.

I think so, too.

PS: I'm going to post on this tomorrow at my blog site.

Do you want me to crosspost it here?

Pastorius said...

Great. I would love that.

Here's the thing. There may not literally be a fatwa against satire, but if THIS is satire, I do believe it would be considered deadly satire. I think this man would be reviled, and possibly his life would be threatened.

On top of that, it is hilarious.

I'll tweak the post for here at IBA and get it posted in a few minutes.
