Well, it is funny as hell. However, I'm willing to accept their explanation and probable belief that what they were doing was in the best interests of the women involved and was in no sense meant as harm. Whether that policy is indeed fair and just to women, I'm not sure that can be untangled from a complex philosophical and theological discussion in which I'm sure none of us could avoid bringing our own prejudices to the table. I think the best description would be to say that the paper, "handled things badly." If their religion forbids publishing pictures of women, goats, or Rocky the Squirrel, they should simply not publish the picture. It just goes to show, no matter what the rational skeptic may do to reveal the errors of the faithful, it will always be topped by the ways the faithful reveal it themselves.
