Perhaps that headline is a little bit insulting, but, hey, so many Muslims seem to be stuck in the 14th century, so, this would be a good upgrade
CALCUTTA — Indian Muslim leaders are uniting with female students in opposition to a "fatwa" or Islamic edict demanding that Muslim girls stay away from academic institutions where boys are studying.
The order, issued by the influential theological school of Darul Uloom Deoband in northern India last week, said coeducation should be banned in schools, colleges, universities and even religious schools because it creates the potential for many evils.
But in an unprecedented display of solidarity, many Muslim leaders have joined with female students across India to oppose the edict, charging that it is detrimental to the real development of Muslim society.
Maybe they have realized that it is really nice to have women around. They are soft and cuddly and pleasant and brighten our lives, particularly when they are empowered to be their own people, rather then as chattel, which is the way they seem to be considered in so much of the muslim world. Any man who doesn’t enjoy seeing a group of women in bikini’s, raise your hand (yes, kinda sexist, on the surface, but, sure makes a man smile!)
And what better way to get men to participate in school then with women around? What guy doesn’t want to show off around them? Impress them?
From what I am finding, he Darul Uloom Deoband school is mildly extremists, wanting full sharia law, and, supposedly, the Taliban were following their teachings. Maybe Rusty at The Jawa Report knows more.
"Studying in a coeducation institution is not unlawful for boys and girls as long as they follow Islamic values and remain within its parameters," said Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, a spokesman for the All Indian Muslim Personal Law Board [AIMPLB].
OK, moving back to the 1920’s now.
Hey, Muzzies, wake up! Females are great!
I wonder how this will affect my banned in India status? 
Will a few Miss India’s in bikini’s help?
Hover mouse for names.
