http://www.mentalmayhem.org/newswire/2006/01/jordan_times_ed.html Jordan Times Editorial: Our Jill (excerpted) The kidnappers who abducted her could not have chosen a more wrong target. True, Jill is a US citizen. But she is also more critical of US policies towards the Middle East than many Arabs. Though as a reporter she always complies with the strictest requirements of objectivity and impartiality, Jill has been from day one opposed to the war, to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. More than just being sympathetic with average Iraqis under war and occupation, Jill is a true believer in Arab causes. From Arabic food to the Arabic language, Jill has always wanted to know and experience as much as possible about Arab identity, and she is keen on absorbing it, learning, understanding and respecting it. She doesn't just "like" Arab culture, she loves it.

"She doesn't just "like" Arab culture, she loves it."

I can't understand why women embrace a culture that treats them like chattel. I knew a woman once who was enamoured with Arab culture - we went to middle eastern restaurants, and she took up belly dancing - but she was an ardent femeninst and wouldn't have survived a day in Saudi.

What does happen when a female soldier or journalist gets captured by an enemy who thinks nothing about beheading even the harmless? With the leftist media the way it is, the lack of mention of rape might mean there isn't any, or might be that it would mean America's enemies really are despicable and/or the feminists would not put up with admitting there is something that is different between the sexes, and females should not be in the "front lines" (whatever that means in this war!).

A pro-Arab woman might be the same as the media?

Good! She's infatuated with that culture? Keep that scarf on sweety! Better get married soon, you're getting old! And start making some babies too! Now quit your job, do as your husband tells you and shut up! You have no need to read any books or newspapers. Forget watching TV! Your husband will beat you if he finds out you have or if you've been out alone!

OH and give up your American citizenship too! So you can't come back.

OH and you'd better learn how to make that God-awful sound wiggling your tongue with a long loud screech. While you're at it, put on a few pounds too! Arab men love babes that look like old fat nuns!

I just wish she would marry an Arab, and find out what their culture is really like.
