...of course we also shouldn't forget that women are treated like dog meat and girls have their genitals mutilated. It's as though the author forgot to end that paragraph with a little catch phrase of the tolerance movement, something like "Not that there's anything wrong with that." Maybe the critics of Islam aren't bigots at all; maybe they just think that, morally, mutilating the genitals of a girl is wrong. Raping a boy's sister for walking to the store with a young woman is wrong. Forbidding women to travel alone or express themselves is wrong. Maybe their criticism of Islam for these things is actually.....dare we say it.... morally correct.

Woman President of US? A advanced nation? Opposition to Hillary Clinton for President could be because she is a woman? Her renark that "she is not the type of a woman who stays at home to bakes cookies", drew criticism since it went against the strereotype American wife who is supposed to stay at home and do so. Wake up America. Don't lecture the world about how women in a society should be treated. Do so only after you ensure that you can accord them the respect that you expect others to do. |
