God, Please Grant Us The Day Our Islamic Sisters Can Run Free
How much evidence does the world need that the heart of Islam is EVIL. Let's add to that stupid, sexist, demeaning, cruel, and absolutely cruel. For fear of the seductive power of the feminine eye, Saudi women should wear a full veil, or nigab, that reveals only one eye.
Horror of horror to these sexist pig oppressors, revealing both eyes encourages (GASP) women to wear (HORRORS OF HORRORS) eye makeup thus looking (OH MY GOD, ALLAH) more seductive! Yes, these are the fears expressed by Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan. While this edict has not yet be enacted, it shows what's a big part of the mainstream of thinking in the Islamic world, Saudi Arabia being one of the most severe.
It's time for us as westerners, part of the Judeo-Christian heritage, to recognize this kind of hateful behavior for what it is and speak out against it. Enough of the politically correct nonsense about "being tolerant of cultural differences." It sure would be boring if everybody in the world did things the same way, but the constant dictatorial behavior making women at best second class humans but much more like a simple commodity subject to the male culture's whims is unacceptable and must be condemned, period.
Western society has surely had its moments of shame and historically has done some shameful things to its women and minorities, but we have the capacity to change, to grow, and strive to be better. In most western nations women can aspire to be anything they wish. On personal appearance, we accept all kinds of fashion, styles of dress and personal preference. The bottom line is we take for granted it's a woman's responsibility to chose how she wants to look. We still have some room for growth as we've seen with a woman candidate for President and now an official nominee for Vice President, both Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin have been subjected to snarky comments and suggestions that would never be applied to their male counterparts. Chances are, their presence in the national spotlight will help us overcome that kind of sexism to.
In the west, we progress. In the Islamic world....more oppression.
