Feminism unveiled "Islamic terrorists have declared jihad against the 'infidel West' and against all of us who yearn for freedom. Women in the Islamic world are treated as subhumans. Although some feminists have sounded the alarm about this, a much larger number have remained silent. "Why is it that many have misguidedly romanticized terrorists as freedom fighters and condemned both America and Israel as the real terrorists or as the root cause of terrorism? In the name of multicultural correctness ... the feminist academy and media appear to have all but abandoned vulnerable people -- Muslims, as well as Christians, Jews and Hindus -- to the forces of reactionary Islamism. "Because feminist academics and journalists are now so heavily influenced by left ways of thinking, many now believe that speaking out against head scarves, face veils, the chador, arranged marriages, polygamy, forced pregnancies or female genital mutilation is either 'imperialist' or 'crusade-ist.'?" -- Phyllis Chesler, writing on "The Failure of Feminism," in the Feb. 24 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education
