Yes, the Nat'l Organization for Women needs to get off their tushies. Many women in the US are not even aware of what are called "honor killings" of women in nations such as Pakistan.

Support RAWA, in any way we can.

Of course, you are not being serious when you say this. What you mean is exploit their cause when it serves the purpose of America. When RAWA does not stay in their place like good women, they are to be ignored.

Afghan women's-rights group RAWA condemns U.S. attacks (dated Oct. 11)

rawa.false.net

<<< America, by forming an international coalition against Osama and his Taliban-collaborators and in retaliation for the 11th September terrorist attacks, has launched a vast aggression on our country.

Despite the claim of the US that only military and terrorist bases of the Taliban and Al Qieda will be struck and that its actions would be accurately targeted and proportionate, we have witnessed for the past seven days leaves no doubt that this invasion will shed the blood of numerous women, men, children, young and old of our country.

If until yesterday the US and its allies, without paying the least attention to the fate of democracy in Afghanistan, were supporting the policy of Jehadis-fostering, Osama-fostering and Taliban-fostering, today they are sharpening the dagger of the "Northern Alliance". And because of this policy they have plunged our people into a horrific concern and anxiety in fear of re-experiencing the dreadful happenings of the years of the Jehadis' "emirate". >>>
