I'm not taking a position on Muslim culture; I'm taking a position on the physical abuse of human beings. Want to join me?

You want to take a position against "the physical abuse of human beings" with recognizing that the root cause of the problem is the primitive Muslim culture? That like coming out against cancer without going after the source. Why bother?

I agreed with the WSJ article. I agreed with Steyn. They are both talking about the same problem. There is going to be no change in the Muslim culture until this problem is recognized. Steyn also addressed the European reaction to it, which is to put their heads in the sand and act like the problem either does not exist, or is their fault. You seem to want to take the same position. You want to look at it in a "generalized" way, that allows you to talk about it as a "patriarchal culture" problem, rather than identify it for what it is.
