- aliengoods, on 07/10/2008, -0/+3I disagree. Women in Islam are hardly oppressed. They can go into any room in their home. They get to stand up AND sit down, and I think we'll all agree that they should be free to be beaten by their husbands. Hell, what more do they want....freedom?
- Bagos1, on 07/09/2008, -2/+15Send in the Marines!....oh, wait a minute, they've already liberated Afghanistan from those crazy Taliban monsters..
So why would this be happening in this liberated and newly democratic Muslim nation.- r3negadeX, on 08/11/2008, -4/+2Because it's not really "liberated" or "democratic", as seen here, and the USA could care less

- cashman57, on 07/09/2008, -1/+8When our government sent the taliban scurrying across the border into Pakistan and created a new government in Afghanistan we set up an islamic country. That means islam is infallible and supreme and insulting islam is a capital offense.
Some way to spread freedom?
It also means that those who are important in islam, the men, rule over those who their prophet said would all go to hell for being deceivers, the women.
How our government came to accept that islam was the model for government is beyond me.
Perhaps they forgot OUR history and how we became a country in order to be free in our practice of religion.
Perhaps they forgot we are free to express ourselves and not be threatened with death?
Can you imagine what our founders would say if they learned we militarily defeated the people who harbored the people who attacked us and are enforcing islam as a result of our victory? - mentallyinhell, on 07/09/2008, -4/+2Give it ten years and McCain in office, it will happen here too.

- Fjosnisse, on 07/09/2008, -3/+3It is a minority of the Muslim community that supports the oppression of women. Its sad that they get all the attention though. Like any faith, Islam has its fanatics, as does Christianity and Catholicism, the attention that the fanatics get misrepresents whats really happening.
- Butterfly8i8, on 07/09/2008, -2/+0Since the Islamic and Christian mainstream do things more subtly and in greater numbers, they are the greater danger.

...this sht happens, people, for real. - Hetman, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1When in Rome do as the Romans do. When in the middle east do as Islam says. It is not that difficult to understand.
