Islamic preacher says beardless men may cause 'indecent thoughts'

An Islamic preacher in Turkey is under fire for suggesting that men without beards “cannot be distinguished from women" and can cause “indecent thoughts.”

“For example, if you see a man with long hair from afar you may think he is a woman if he does not have a beard. Because nowadays women and men dress similarly. God forbid! You could be possessed by indecent thoughts,” he added.

Lots of fakkitry in that part of the world

Not so much in Turkey, but Arabia, Persia and India.

Plus being an Islamic "preacher" is not the same as being a scholar. It can literally be just some random guy who gives the Friday sermon or the dude who leads the prayer. It's not necessarily someone who has authority.

contemplation of the beardless" is a Sufi practice of spiritual realization.

Peter Lamborn Wilson claims this as the use of "imaginal yoga" to transmute erotic desire into spiritual consciousness.[1]

Richard Francis Burton's translation of The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night(commonly called The Arabian Nights in English) included collections of stories that were often sexual in content and were considered pornography at the time of publication. In particular, the Terminal Essay in volume 10 of the Nights contained a 14,000 word essay entitled "Pederasty" (Volume 10, section IV, D) in which Burton speculated and opined that male homosexuality was prevalent in an area of the southern latitudes named by him the "Sotadic zone".[2] Rumors about Burton's own sexuality were already circulating and were further incited by this work.

"Sufi" is a very broad category. It can mean something as simple as "someone who engage in the practices of meditation, asceticism etc" to "a mystic" or the more extreme variety which is folkloric Sufism (extreme superstition, generally practised by illiterates and impoverished communities). Some people who claim "Sufism" are outright disbelievers even. You have to be specific.

There were some extreme sects who engaged in this, primarily in Persia. They incorporated elements of their pre-islamic culture into Islam after they had embraced it. This culture of loving boys was the norm in the Mediterranean, including Rome, Greece and Persia. You see remnants of that still in that region today.

Mainstream Sufi scholars like Ghazali denounced this practice.

If people listen to him he has authority.

You live in Orlando so IDK how cold it gets but up north when it is cold, everybody dresses like a bum and covers up.

Sometimes a man with a thick lower body and long hair/dreads can give off the illusion of being a woman when they have a hood over their head.
