God furious if women governors: Iran cleric.
Grand Ayatollah Lotfollah Safi Golpayghani said the appointment of women in such top jobs was against sharia (Islamic) law.
“They come to Qom, the centre of Shiite Islam, and announce that they will appoint women as governors of some provinces. Do you want to fight with the Quran and the Prophet with such talks that go against sharia?” he asked.
Is it any wonder that shariah gets a bad name wit interpretations like this…can somebody point me to what part of the Quran says women can’t be governors?
