These people are mentally ill. I cannot phathom how Islamic women defend this culture. They are beaten, rape, killed and mutilated, but they still suggest that Islam has respect for women.... crazy...
Maybe there are legends, or even actual histories, that suggest the treatment of women was worse in pagan Arabia before Mohammed.
Of course, we know the status and treatment of women suffered a severe decline when Christian regions were Islamized, not that the feminists give Christianity credit for being the first religion to raise the status of women by abolishing first polygamy and later concubinage.
There is no psychological diagnosis for these folks, no medicine and no 'therapy'. They worship evil and they reap what they sow, period.
I think what you're seeing as mental illness is really just a culture caught in times past. Women have been basically treated literally like animals for the last several thousand years. It has only been in recent, modern times that some semblance of equality has emerged and I would say, gone too far in the opposite direction. It will eventually swing back to something more neutral. In any case, these middle eastern cultures are just held in a time warp. The women don't know anything different. It has been their culture for thousands of years.
The only way they will catch up with the rest of the world is through broader exposure to other ideas and education. That usually starts within their own societies as people begin to question old ways. One obstacle to that is Islamic theocracy and dictatorships, something the West is trying to free them of.
**These people are mentally ill**
They are not mentally ill at all, they are evil and morally bankrupt. Mental illness and evil are NOT equivalent any more than a cancer patient and evil are equivalent.
