Kos Libs Keep Amazing Me: “No Evidence Of Female Oppression In Islam”
Daywear…Eveningwear…Swimwear…
I could not believe what I was reading. Some left wing liberal pukey shmuck blogger at the Daily kos is doubting the idea that women in Islamic culture are oppressed.
I simply can’t fucking believe these little mealy-mouth faggots over at That Piece of Shit blog.
I’ll just let them speak for themselves:
In the United States, there’s now an almost universally held belief that most women in Islamic societies face wretched persecution and that Islam itself is wholly to blame. But there’s scant empirical evidence to support the claim — mostly, we’re treated to detailed reports of horrific abuses in theocratic states like Saudi Arabia and Iran, despite the fact that just six percent of the Muslim world live in those two countries. If you ask average Americans how they came to their beliefs about how badly women suffer in Islamic societies, most will reply that “everyone knows it.”
But I’ve seen no empirical data to suggest that an Islamic majority itself correlates with the subordination of women better than other co-variables like economic development, women’s ability to serve in government, a political culture that values the rule of law or access to higher education. In other words, you can use a comparison of women’s status in Saudi Arabia and Sweden to make an intellectually weak argument for Western superiority, but there’s little support for the notion that women living in “traditional” Islamic cultures enjoy a lower social status than those in orthodox Christian, Jewish or Hindu communities, to name a few examples.
Oh he goes on and on…but this is about all I can take.
