Floozies v. Clerics

In this month’s Secular Humanist, a report that some Pakistani clerics (belonging to a group called Movement to Cleanse Society) are objecting to the women who work for international relief agencies which arrived in Pakistan in the wake of last year’s earthquakes.

They claim the women are “spreading obscenity in society and trying to weaken our faith by corrupting our women” and charge them, as well, with dressing improperly, socializing with men, and drinking alcohol.

I’m going to take a wild guess that these particular clerics were not made homeless by the earthquakes, and I wonder if anyone has told them to stop worrying about the women and to start building homes for all the people displaced there, instead. Right now, it’s Floozies 1, Clerics 0.
