Given the cover of my new book, this article seems topical.

Saudi cleric favours one-eye veil
A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.

The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.

The niqab is more common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, but women in much of the Muslim Middle East wear a headscarf which covers only their hair.

Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.

Topical and of course very, very stupid. These people are idiots. That's all there is to say.

Update:
I found the following comment, by EvocatusNL, on a YouTube video from Pat Condell, which also mentioned the 'one eye good, two eyes horny' thing:

I have a great commercial idea for you.

Design a burqa with NO eye-holes in it, but with a built-in GPS + LCD screen + Browser + Google Earth + additional software.

Moslima's can go out and their unseen winks can not seduce the male Muslims. That would put the Saudi cleric to rest.

We still have the problem of the female curvature inside the burqa while walking. That could make men horny. There should be an inbuild lightweight skeleton to form a rectangular... form.

Don't for one second think that there isn't a chance it might happen. After all, who would have predicted that Gillette would put five blades in a razor?! (That link is of course old news, but the commentary is hilarious.)

Here's that video:

Update 2:
The one-eyed veil has a problem - every time the woman blinks, it will look like she's winking, which of course will mean that Saudi men will be forced to rape her (that is why they have these ridicuolous religious laws, right?). The fun continues here, with a solution which will have the Saudis thinking 'why didn't we think of that' (in Arabic, naturally).
