So I guess your implication is that in our country women are as freely murdered and abused by caucasians 'your poor choice of term' at the same relative rates as those in Africa or India or many middle Eastern countries ? The traditions that many immigrants seem to wish to import with them ? Thankfully we have managed to separate mostly church and state. Why ? To allow another religion into our politics. No thanks. Next time you see a Muslim owned convenience store, note if they sell cigarettes. I wonder if that same shopkeeper will have his wife and daughters covered up and be seeking sharia investments. Hypocrisy. FYI as Mr. Ichy has pointed out previously, Pashtuns, making up a large percentage of core Taliban, are Caucasian, blonde and freckles not rare. Your statement is asinine, immature, disingenuous, and inciting. Mostly it appears your post has to do with a dislike of the messenger, otherwise you might have actually said something of merit. All this posting is hurting my head... Oh Ida I'm coming.. Roy, Crashing out Post 98... @ 100 I vanish I think..

SHEHERAZADE (Arabic - Legendary) The Heroine of Arabia Sheherazade, the heroine of The Thousand and One Nights, is sadly neglected in today's records of women of achievement. Although legendary (all legends are based on facts). Sheherazade, a woman of exceptional intelligence, wisdom and bravery saved not only her life by telling a series of spellbinding tales during the dark of Arabian nights, but the lives of a dwindling supply of virgins of her country, and, in so doing, educated a King. King Schariar, legendary King of Samarkand found he had been deceived by his wife and as punishment had his wife and a succession of three thousand virgins (one each night) put to death. Against her father's protestations, Sheherazade volunteered to spend one night with the King. Once in the King's chambers, Sheherazade asked if she might bid one last farewell to her beloved sister Dunyazade, who had secretly been prepared to ask Sheherazade to tell a story during the long night. The King lay awake and listened with awe to Sheherazade's first story and asked for another, but Sheherazade said there wasn't time as dawn was breaking, and regretfully so, as the next story was even more exciting. And so the King kept Sheherazade alive as he eagerly anticipated each new story and after one thousand and one adventurous nights, the King had not only been entertained but wisely educated in morality and kindness by Sheherazade who became his Queen. The present form of The Thousand and One Nights is completely Muslim in spirit and is thought to be native to Persia or one of the Arabic speaking countries. It is one of the few examples of a woman seen as a heroine in an Arabic country.
