"Emotional Abuse"

Now apparently, Kelantan's Menteri Besar is trying to make Malaysia famous again with his out-of-this-world comments - how does this guy come up with such "unthinkable" ideas?

His latest theory - I called it a theory simply because there is really no scientific proof on this - is that:
Malaysia's Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said [...]
He further added that:
We always [hear about] the abuse of children and wives in households, which is easily perceived by the eye, but the emotional abuse of men cannot be seen [...]

Our prayers become unfocused and our sleep is often disturbed [...]
What can I say? Just Wow...x2

Now, I'm not sure if that's what he has actually said - but judging from the other mind-boggling theories he has came up with in the past...I'm not too surprised.

Just think about it. What he's suggesting - and has done so quite a number of times - is that women and the way they dress is responsible for how a man thinks and acts. When a man acts based on the judgment of his penis, it's considered justified if the opposite sex shows them a bare shoulder or thigh (what were they doing looking there in the first place?). How stupid is the logic? And how much more sexist can one get?
