KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: A prominent Malaysia cleric said his comments that women should wear chastity belts to prevent rape and incest was a joke gone wrong, as rights groups and a top government minister blasted his remarks in news reports Saturday.
"Joke only. It was not seriously meant," Abu Hassan Din Al-Hafiz said, according to the New Straits Times. The prominent religious leader from Malaysia's conservative north said earlier this week that women should "wear protection" to "safeguard them from sex maniacs," reports said.
Nope nope nope, I'm not buying it pall. Muslim clerics simply aren't allowed to joke around, especially when it comes to matters that involve sex toys. :P
