Men absolved from personal responsibility in Islam

For the most devout of Muslims, it is desirous that women be covered from head to toe, that women remain uneducated and tied to the home, and that women dare not speak without a man’s position.
Above all a woman should never tempt a man, because Muslim men are not responsible for their actions. Women should be covered for fear that men lose their self control and force themselves on exposed, unaccompanied women. If a Muslim man does lose his self control, it is the temptress, the woman, who is to blame, after all men are absolved from personal responsibility in Islam.
Such is the message of Islamic clerics since the dawn of the fabled religion of peace and such is the message from Australia’s most senior Islamic cleric. According to Sheik al-Hilali, five Muslim men recently convicted of rape in Australia were not responsible for their actions because their victims swayed “suggestively,” not to mention their choice of dress and make-up.
In other words the women were to blame for their being attacks. Under such logic if a person in desperation were to exclaim “I wish I was dead,” someone would be justified in killing that individual. The Sheik likened such immodest women to uncovered meat.
Women are used by Satan to control men, the sheik iterated and thus women must be kept under the man’s thump. Woman must be deprived of any personal liberty and are deserving of any measure of abuse or mistreatment. Such mindless depravity underscores the danger posed by radical Islamists and the fate envisioned for a helpless world as radical clerics seek to export their terror on a global.

Of course, the same evangelical Christians who insist that they believe in "traditional marriage" thought pretty much the same way for about 3,900 years. Go figure.
And some still do...
