Islamic Oppression of Women-Worldwide

As we STILL wring our hands about Abu Ghraib and other slights to Muslims in the western world, the western world itself continues to bleed and suffer at the hands of the Religion of Peace. In the dark and shadowy recesses of male Islamic misogyny, women are only to be viewed naked after the ritual of marriage has been completed. A muslim woman, married or otherwise who is seen even walking or enjoying a cup of coffee runs the risk of defiling her families (fathers') honor, resulting in her throat being slashed open.

This is the exotic religion and culture that we in the west are told by the liberal media and Hollywood to be tolerant of.

Diversity should be our virtue, we are instructed.

Yet several of the 9/11 hijackers had no such delusions about their piety:
"Sept 2-6 - Alleged hijacker Majed Moqed seen in two stores in Maryland looking over adult videos and books (MSNBC), Sept 10 - Alleged hijacker Hamza Alghamdi watches a porno in his hotel. (Wall Street Journal)

Sept 5 - Two or three of the alleged hijackers go gambling on a SunCruz Casino boat. (St Petersburg Times, USA Today)

Sept 7 - Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi both seen 'wasted' at Florida bar called Shuckums. (St Petersburg Times)

Sept 9 - Alleged Flight 11 hijacker sleeps with a high-priced prostitute (Boston Herald), Sept 10 - Four alleged hijackers spend the night looking for prostitutes in Boston. (Boston Globe)"

Quite an example they set. Last week, a 'moderate' muslim plowed his vehicle into a group of students at UNC:

CHAPEL HILL -- A recent UNC graduate purposely drove an SUV into a crowded campus meeting area Friday, hitting nine people, police said.

UNC Police Capt. George Hare said campus police expected to charge Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar with at least nine felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill -- the weapon being the Jeep Cherokee he was allegedly driving. Hare declined to comment on a possible motive. The Associated Press quoted an FBI source as saying Taheri-azar, 22, was a native of Iran, and that he "allegedly made statements that he acted to avenge the American treatment of Muslims."

This week, Europe continues to sleep as its citizens are brutalized:

Was this girl raped because of Halliburton's no-bid contracts?...or were the rapists, guests in a host country, simply expressing their displeasure with Anglo-European hegemony?

I'm sure that was the problem in Australia a couple months ago:

"..Four days after he set foot in Australia, the rape spree began. ..the Pakistani man began to berate one of his tearful 14-year-old victims because she had the temerity to shake her head at his testimony.....After taking an oath on the Quran, the man known only as MSK told the court he had committed four attacks on girls as young as 13 because they had no right to say no.. They were not covering their face or wearing a headscarf, and therefore, the rapist proclaimed: "Im not doing anything wrong."

Yet many Western leftists habitually excuse these crimes against women in order to maintain political solidarity with their allies in the Islamic world. After all, it would be tough to make common cause with Muslim groups in the antiwar movement if Progressives began to criticize the practice of polygamy.

But along with Islamic immigration to the West have come Third World value systems regarding the treatment of women. We must not be seduced by the false tenets of cultural relativism into a toleration of forced marriages, officially sanctioned rape, and honor killings.
