I've not seen any part of Islamic society that shows that it isn't a backward society that treats women like sub-human posessions. When was the last major scientific breakthrough made by muslims? It's been centuries.

Instead of Going on the Defensive and Making Accusations, We Should Enter into a Dialogue with the West So as to Get to the Truth

By all means, let's get to the truth. Make the world understand why you torture and execute rape victims unless they have four unrelated male witnesses to the crime.

We're waiting.

"I don't believe that it is the image of Rania Al-Baz, the battered announcer, or Capt. Hanadi Hindy, the first Saudi female pilot, that defines the Saudi woman – but rather the growing contingent of educated, emancipated, and sophisticated women like those who supported the petition against such convenient typecasting.

"And my husband gave me permission to say so...and promised not to use his belt on me this time, no matter what answers I give to your impudent media questions."

Man cuts feet off 'promiscuous' wife

A Pakistani man and some of his relatives chopped off his wife's feet after accusing her of being promiscuous, police said yesterday. The woman survived the gruesome attack, the latest in a wave of assaults that have raised international concern about the plight of women in rural Pakistan. **snip**

Well, in all fairness, the Democrats have been portraying America in the same way for 30 years.

And at a press conference in the nation's capital, the outraged spokesperson of the National Organization for Women had this to say.... (sound of crickets)
