Giving a voice to Muslim women
By Pamela Bone
October 25, 2003
It is time for religiously fundamentalist old men to stop dictating to
women.
There is the matter of the chicken. If a man has sex with it, is it
permissible for him to eat it afterwards?
You will be pleased to know this debate was resolved in the writings of the
late Ayatollah Khomeini: neither the man nor his family may eat the meat of
that chicken; he may, however, give it to someone who lives two doors or
more away.
"What was disturbing," writes Iranian exile Azar Nafisi in her recent book
Reading Lolita in Tehran, "was that these texts were taken seriously by
people who ruled us and in whose hands lay our fate and the fate of our
country."
