Women killers kill because... I was not advocating they were better or worse 2Mar$, and you see 2Mar$ that is the point. A woman today in a court room is in most cases superior to any man. She has special rights and arguments. Justice should be blind, but it's not. The law of the land is not immutable and your sentence or punishment will be different from the next citizen depending on, 1) what kind of mood the judge is in 2) does the judge like your lawyer 3) does the judge like you 4) progressive sentencing 5) are you a woman 6) are you a visible minority. A system like this guarantees the burgeoning ranks of the priesthood of lawyer/actors a successful long term future. ** It looks as though we are all still "evolving" , and solutions are based in what is the term used..... awareness raising ? Awareness raising? Is that like progressive taxation because someone with raised awareness can see the Noblesse Oblige of taking from the rich and giving to the poor? Not to make excuses for Bill Clinton Thanks to awareness raising,you're in a semi free country for the time being, make all the excuses you want. They system has self corrected itself and will move on. The left wing failed and has been left writhing on the floor cooing their venom in the dark.

This appears tragic and unjust. However, you appear to have declared your own jihad against anything associated with Islam. This statement for example, that you use to exemplify the treatement of women, who have been raped is not exempliary at all: "They are called "honor killings" , and account for nearly 1/2 of all the murders of young females in the country of Jordan , for instance ." You point out that "honor killings" represent nearly half of the murders of young women in this country. How many young women are murdered? My guess is not many, but you conveniently leave this statistic out. Of those murdered, are rape victims commonly killed in this fashion and are the numbers again high as you imply; or is this rare, extreme, uncondoned behaviour that you use to advance bigoted and sensational hype against Muslims. The article you are referencing makes it clear that "there is no justification for this in the Koran or the Islam religion." When an ignorant moron from some small town in America misbehaves do you attribute it to our government? How about the Presidents behavior toward women over the last eight years; is the constitution responsible for that? You take it upon your self to determine that the Qu'ran is powerless to do anything about this stuff. Well, OK. The Qu'ran is a book not a human agency. The Quran covers every kind of evil injustice that exists in creation as well as being a guide for a just and clean life. In that sense it is perfect. If it was just lovely poetry about spiritual things the message would be incomplete. It is written as a caution to believers. In essence, God is saying this evil is known about temporal existence and the human condition; that believers are likely to succum to all kinds of entrapments and since you humans have been warned, no one has an excuse.
