…because seeing both a woman's eyes makes the guys sooooo horny!
From the BBC:
A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.
Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.
The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.
The niqab is more common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, but women in much of the Muslim Middle East wear a headscarf which covers only their hair.
Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.
I can see his point – I came over all hot and bothered just looking at the photo that accompanies the story, and had to take a cold shower.
But surely this would make it difficult for the women to drive, or watch a movie… hang, on though, they're not allowed to do those things anyway are they? So that's OK then!
And why stop at one eye-slit? Why not have no slits at all? There are already versions of the niqab that have a mesh grille instead of slits, but while this might stop the men from thinking impure thoughts, it does have the disadvantage of allowing the women to see out, which means they could easily be corrupted if they were to cast eyes on one of those hot, 400-pound Saudi man-babies.
Why don't they just seal up all the holes, and mount a radar on the top so the women don't bump into things – like bats! Or give them guide dogs. Or to be on the safe side, why not just keep them chained up in the cellar?
The BBC – the web's one-stop-shop for all your 'Aren't those Muslims whacky?' stories. Just remember not to get judgmental, because who are we to say they haven't got it right?

He and the other men like him who are easily distracred should wear NO slit niqabs to maintain their piety. What they wont see wont hurt them.
this moves seems like its biased towards women. might as well kill all the women as the cleric thinks that women can cause so many problems(sexually) to men.
women do have sexual thoughts too. the men's sexuality lies in their discipline. if the people think they are under disciplined and dont have the power to control themselves, then it's their own weakness.
No doubt, he will be rebuked by Western Imams - just like the one who proposed a fatwa on Mickey Mouse. Oh er, that last bit didn't happen did it?
One eye covered?
AVAST, ye scurrvy scum! Ain't no land-lubbing imam be depriving me of me vision.
