Fatwa: Women who swim in sea should be punished

A committee at Al Azhar, a prestigious Islamic university in Cairo, studying fatwas issued by the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, reports that the fatwas regard women as strange creatures, who are created solely for sex. Some of these fatwas prohibit women from swimming in the sea, using air conditioners in absence of their husbands, or even touching cucumbers or bananas.
