Deputy Prime Minster of Turkey, Bulent Arinc, has made a bizzare comment by saying that women should not laugh out loud in public.

He said that chastity is an ornament for both women and men and that women will know what is haram and not haram, she will not laugh in public and will not be inviting in her attitudes and will protect her chasteness.
Arinc also complained that women talk about unnecessary things on the phone, while giving each other meal recipes or gossip about other things, which sould be done face to face.
