Reacting to President Sarkozy's attempt to ban the burqa in France a hardline Islamic cleric, Anjem Chaudhary has called Mr. Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni a prostitute. Writing on Islam4UK website he says, 'Sarkozy may be content with being wed to a prostitute who flaunts her body to the world believing it to be righteous conduct, but he is reminded that a Muslim is not this shallow and depraved.' Mr. Chaudhary should be reminded that it is depraved to abuse a man's wife especially since she is unlikely to retaliate. It is also very depraved to take advantage of life in a liberal western country where freedom of speech allows dissent even if it is totally disgusting. Would he dare to criticise rulers of any muslim country while living there? I would advise Mr. Chaudhary to travel to the middle east where buying 'wives' is the norm. In the middle east it is customary to pay money to the father of a girl and rich old men frequently pay large sums to marry 17 or 18 year old girls. It was common to see girls of that age being admitted to hospital with hysterical illness just to avoid a dirty old man. Mr. Chaudhary should know that, for the rest of the world, a prostitute is a woman who is bought for sexual purpose. How does he categorise the wives of the middle east? Difficult, no?
