We pursue an education in the hopes that it will bring us enlightenment and knowledge. Not only does it help us understand the world around us but it also helps us form an opinion, and treat others better. However, some people, like Punjab University professor Rana Eijaz Ahmad, certainly make us fear for the kind of values that are being taught to his students.<\/p>\n

Rana Eijaz Ahmad is among the senior faculty at the university. He is also the head of one of its departments. Recently, one of his posts on social media angered a lot of well-meaning folks.<\/p>\n

His research paper aims to diminish the\u00a0false<\/em> perception of men as harassers. Let’s take a look at his post before we proceed any further:<\/p>\n

Not only does the professor believe that women harass men, but he also says that men CAN’T harass women. Quoting an incident from the Holy Quran, he says he plans on proving that women are the actual [and only] harassers.<\/p>\n

If that wasn’t dumb enough, he says that he has ‘scientific and logical reasoning<\/em>‘ behind his argument. Rana Eijaz added:<\/p>\n

Historically speaking, Hazrat Yousuf AS’s example is with us. It may be the only example of harassment recorded in the Quran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Social media reactions<\/h3>\n

When someone shared his Facebook status on Twitter, it spread like wildfire. And people were extremely disgusted, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at what they have to say:<\/p>\n
