Enough with the stupidity. We have too many problems we need to deal with other than whimsically issued fatwas. Oh for the love of God. Enough with the stupidity.

I as much as I respect and love Islam with all its teachings and messages, I grow suspicious of all these religious figures making up "Fatwa" and recommendation that makes no sense other than imposing a certain aspect of control over Moslems. If this recommendation (the segregation) is to serve anything, is that it will only make those targeted individuals more curious and anxious to break those rules and seek a "peek". I my humble opinion, the main issue is not in blogs or forums, it is the bloggers and readers themselves. I mean if reading a name or a title can produce a "sexual" feeling and stimulation, then something is terribly wrong with this society. I know for a fact that if you impose certain rules on a society this way without make them take that choice, they wont do it out of recognition, but rather of fear. With all do respect to all good Saudis, look at the 1000s that go on vacations every year! The things they do outside the Kingdom is the things they are not allowed to do inside, which means they are not obeying those rules because they believe in them.
