A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.

René, I like this story. It's good stuff.
thats really very strange. the best solution seems to make all man blind so they might not get the oppurtunity to enjoy the beauty of woomen hood.let them wear Burkha for one day , then pass on such kind of verdict.shame on manhood.women go through such pain to bring children to this world an these children pass such kind of verdict on women.

Rene... "In the land of the blind... the one-eyed veiled woman is Queen." Would be rollin' on the floor laughing, at such ignorance, unfortunately, it isn't a laughing matter in the land of the dumb!

Aside from the obvious silliness of the idea (one can easily apply eye makeup to one eye, no?), why would you want half of your population to lose their depth perception and start bumping into things? It's bizarre on many levels.

As one critic put it, 'When a woman blinks, that one eye showing will make the man think she is flirting with him.' But all in the West fail to understand the sinister uses of keeping women veiled and separated from men. It isn't just about treating women like domestic animals, or worse than them. Who would blanket their prize Arabian horses in the desert heat of Saudi?

Horrible, sad, frustrating. Is this the will of the all loving Allah? Or is it the sick twisted demented perverted hypocritical words of a frustrated religious infidel. Let all the men of Saudi Arabia where those things.
