Yet they still have the resources to translate "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and hand it out in bookshops and mosques all around the world. geoffffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056725010151459750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292536695398683203.post-4818737680903292712012-12-01T21:37:57.892+11:002012-12-01T21:37:57.892+11:00Feminism in the West has still gained precious lit...Feminism in the West has still gained precious little (more women graduate from university than men in Oz, yet fewer than 10 per cent are good enough to be on a board or a CEO, rather beggars belief, doesn't it), other than contributing to the engine of capitalism. Still no week goes by in which a woman isn't murdered by her partner or former partner, and that's only the women killed, let's not attempt any dodgy estimates of the day to day violence and fear, not to mention raunch culture and other objectification across every thread of society. <br /><br />In the West, though, women never had to fight for existence, human acknowledgement, the way they need to in Muslim lands - which as you note, seem to be spreading, even across Africa. <br /><br />Hand in hand with the treatment of women goes the continued stifling of economic and cultural growth. But that's the basis of Islam: no evolution, no thought. Do you know how many Islamic books are published each year, just by the way? Do you know just how badly shackled both Muslim men and women are to a singular ancient text?

The Middle East is stuck in some ancient era, and it's baffling to think they live the way they do, baffling to think of children being married off to old guys, baffling to think that women are segregated and not permitted to be educated and advance themselves and their families. It's beyond belief if you dwell on it. <br /><br />Yet, it's all treated so seriously, as if this is NORMAL.<br /><br />It isn't. <br /><br />Won't change in our lifetime, either, which is intellectually indefensible. <br /><br />Can only conclude the whole world is a basket case if they can't change any of this, if appeasement of the truly unacceptable is considered politically correct!

That's the way of human perception! Not a criticism, statement of the obvious.

Such attacks during a state of peace will attract a reprisal anywhere in the world. Civilian people in Israel are living in fear in shelters due to the rockets fired from Gaza. There has been blind conflict between the two sides for many years now; the children of Israel on the one side and the children of Ishmael on the other. These two peoples that should be living side by side in peace in those ancient, lovely lands are fighting one another instead."<br /><br />It is incredibly brave to speak like this in public even in formerly secular but now Islamist leaning Turkey.<br />geoffffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056725010151459750noreply@blogger.com
