Bashir says naked women worse than Bali Bombings

Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, widely believed to be the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, has said that naked women are more damaging than the Bali Bombings.

The 69 year old, who spent 26 months in jail, for conspiring in the first Bali Bombings, talked about the effect of scantily clad women on TV, claiming they were more damaging to society, than the terrorist attacks in Kuta.

Indonesian TV is rather like a cross between a variety performance and the Benny Hill Show, complete with suggestion, inuendo and frivolity. For some reason they love benchongs (transvestites), who can be seen on many shows and commercials.

“So, if I am asked which is more dangerous, naked women or the Bali bombs, then my reply is of course those women in skimpy clothes,” said Bashir.

I think he’s off his rocker, and maybe if he took time off and got himself a girlfriend, he’d feel differently about those evil women.
