Muslim Sheik on TV warns "women could get killed if they touch themselves"

Following are excerpts from a lecture by Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, which aired on Qatar TV He warns that women who touch themselves may be accused of adultery and executed by their families: "a woman might be accused of fornication. She will bring disgrace upon herself and her family. This will be a disaster, and some relatives might kill her.".
According to Islamic tradition, the "honor" of the entire family is measured by women's behavior. Any action that may be perceived as harming the family's honor may cost the woman her life. In other words, a woman is required not only to obey Islam including its strict codes of modesty but also to completely obey her male (guardians husband, father, brother and even uncle).
