Sexist remarks by imam: In a shocking video circulating online, an Islamist imam made inflammatory statements, comparing women to animals and declaring that they were created by God solely for men's use. The cleric's comments have sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling them deeply sexist and dehumanizing.
In the video, the imam is heard making the following disturbing claim: “Allah has created one more type of animal, and that is women. They are just like cows and sheep. They are animals. God has only created them for men to use. But Allah created these women to look like humans so that they wouldn’t frighten the men.” He continued to compare women to domestic animals such as cows, sheep, horses, and mules, suggesting that their only purpose is to serve men.

Women are no different from cows, sheep, horses, mules.

The imam's statements have been met with fierce backlash from various communities, activists, and organizations advocating for women's rights. Many have condemned the remarks as highly offensive and derogatory, perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes and undermining the dignity of women. Critics have pointed out that such language only fuels misogyny and encourages the objectification and mistreatment of women.
In response to the imam’s remarks, calls for accountability have grown louder. Women's rights groups are urging religious and community leaders to speak out against such views, which promote inequality and disrespect. Public outrage continues to build, with many advocating for stronger measures to counter misogyny in religious and social discourse.
