| #6 I used to ask my Saudi "friends" how they expected to compete in the world - they throw half their brainpower away at birth. Never did get an answer. |

| #5 Deacon - No, it's not "a bit simplistic." It's a very good place to start. If they began treating women as equals, everything else would pretty much fall into place. I'm not holding my breath. |

| #2 George Patton once said "The reason the Arabs have not progressed is because of their total degredation of women." This might be a bit simplistic but has quite a bit of truth in it. |

| #1 I reckon this is the most important article on this site right now and its got no comments. This article means important things. If you can get the women into the police force/army in Islamic nations, it raises their status. They're the most undervalued allies in the WOT which is a war on fascist Islamism. They have nothing to lose, they'd fight to the death and their loyalty would be beyond question. If you give them a means to support themselves, be independant and free from the shackles of servitude - truly free - you will crack Islamist Fascism. It really would be a great step towards victory, along with weeding out the violent fanatical clerics. |
