Throw in the right music and the Australian Mufti’s candid remarks comparing women to thick juicy steaks - in front of a roomful of men who can’t control their sex drive in the absence of a headscarf - would probably make a good rap video.   

Our editor, himself an Old School connoisseur, recognized some distinctive parallels between the Mufti’s sermon and Sir Mix-A-Lot’s 1992 classic, “Baby Got Back.” 

Mufti: “Truthfully... The woman possesses the weapon of seduction and temptation.”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “I like big butts and I cannot lie.”

 

Mufti: “The uncovered meat is the problem!”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “I want ‘em real thick and juicy.  So find that juicy double…”

 

Mufti: “Satan would use women to smash the head of the finest of men…”

Sir Mix-A-Lot:  “Mix-A-Lot’s in trouble… begging for a piece of that bubble.”

 

Mufti:  “If she hadn't left the meat uncovered, the cat wouldn't have snatched it.”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “So they toss it and leave it; And I pull up quick to retrieve it.”

 

Murfti:  “But in the event of adultery, the responsibility falls 90 per cent of the time with the woman.”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “Give me a sister, I can’t resist her”

 

Mufti: “If I come across a crime of rape - kidnap and violation of honor - I would discipline the man and teach him a lesson in morals, and I would order the woman be arrested and jailed for life.”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “My homeboys tried to warn me, But that butt you got makes me so…”

 

Mufti:  “She is the one who takes her clothes off, cuts them short, acts flirtatious, puts on make-up and powder, and goes on the streets dallying…”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face, You get sprung and wanna’ pull up tough ‘cause you notice that butt was stuffed.”

 

Mufti:  "She is the one wearing a short dress, lifting it up, lowering it down…"

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “’... baby got it going on"

 

Mufti:  “…then a look, then a smile, then a word, then a greeting, then a chat, then a date, then a meeting, then a crime.  If she was in her room, in her house, wearing her hijab, being chaste, the disasters wouldn't have happened.”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “I like them round and big; And when I’m throwing a gig I just can’t help myself, I’m acting like an animal.”

 

Mufti:  “Satan says to the woman ‘…You are my best weapon."”

Sir Mix-a-Lot:  “Even White boy's got to shout.”
