No actual mention or condemnation of sexual harassment, per se, from either Muhammad or Rumi, either. The author, who clumsily paraphrases the actual quotes in an attempt to explain them does mention"groping" at one point, but it's a very weak article, overall.

I was disappointed not to find anything said about harassment by those two people at the link. Which leads me to wonder why you posted it without comment. The link isn't really about that.

Oh, well, another click wasted...
