A Shaikh on Interfaith Cohabitation in Pious Saudi Homes………
"Sheikh Yousuf Ahmad, a lecturer at the prestigious Imam Mohammad bin Saud University in Riyadh, seems concerned about the influx of non-Muslim women household workers into the ultra-conservative kingdom. When he recently spoke to an Arab news site, Ahmad suggested that only Muslim maids should be allowed into Saudi Arabia for work and that they must be segregated from men in the house to prevent illicit mixing between the sexes. "If there is a need to import workers as female domestics, they should be Muslims,” the hard-line cleric reportedly told the sabq.org website. Elaborating on his stance, Ahmad stressed that female housemaids also should wear the Islamic veil while working and that they should be accompanied to the kingdom by a male relative who will serve as their guardian……….”
What about the dialogue of faiths? And what does the sheikh mean by “illicit mixing between the sexes”? And why all these clergy so obsessed with sex? You’d think with three or four wives each, they’d have enough of that.
