Western media love those stories. They just can't get enough of them. Women who "went" to Islamic madraaassaaaaaaass complaining to westerners--and urging WESTERNERS--to save them (via Bush's liberation wars, I assume) from Islam. Here, this person whose knowledge of Islam is similar to my knowledge of car engines, says: "Earlier this year, the state-run General Union of Syrian Women released a report showing that one in four married Syrian women is the victim of domestic violence." Well, o voice of "modern" Islam. That is in fact almost the same percentage of US women who are victims of domestic violence. In fact, there are studies (cited in Catherine McKinnon's Feminism Unmodified) which talk about domestic violence affecting up to 75% of women in the US. So does that mean that Islam is also responsible for domestic violence in the US too? Enlighten me, PLEASE, o former reporter of the Wall Street Journal--bastion of cultural sensitivity and feminism.
