Koran taught to selected beautiful girls in Rome
An interesting article published yesterday by the Corriere della Sera made me think.
Preferably blond, slim, attractive, tall not less than 1,70 mt, size 42, black dressed, no miniskirts or plunging necklines and with at least a 7cm heel. These were the requests for 200 girls paid 60 euros to take part to the religious lessons about the Koran taught by Colonel Gheddafi during his Roman staying.
He started off the lecture saying “It’s not true that Islam is anti-women”. These words sound a bit teasing to me, since he asked for this very stricted group of ladies to participate, apparently dismissing two girls because they were not enough beautiful or not enough tall for the leader of Libya. Then the lecture continued with: “There is only one Koran, and it has never changed, whereas there are four Gospels”, and also “Christ’s double on the cross”.
After these topics, everyone got a gift: a copy of the “Glorious Koran”, the Green Book of the revolution and a brochure entitled “How Can I Be a Muslim?” Then everything was over. What leaves me perplexed is how is it possible that none said anything about this exhibition of women that damage women’s dignity? No protests, no petitions, no complains, nothing, zero, nada, nicht, niente. Why? And above all, what has to do a beautiful appearance with the ability of talking about religion? Is this the way to treat women?
