#1 Given that a lot of Moslem women seem to have Internet access, I think it would be hilarious if someone started a site, supposedly by an abused woman, advocating that when men beat their wives, they should respond by castrating them in their sleep, keeping knives on their persons and slashing their husbands if they misbehave, and otherwise stab men who assail them. In Arabic, Farsi and English.
It's funny how ideas like this catch on.

#2 Sounds like Thailand per Spaulding Gray's Swimming to Cambodia (think: balloons carrying severed members aloft)

#3 On further reflection, you wouldn't actually need to create such a site. Just write up a bogus news story, and put it in a forum where some wire service clown would pick up on it. Supposedly a bad translation from the original site, but with a fatwa: "The Koran says that women are permitted, etc.", as decided by the Women's Fatwa Council, or something.
Then *say* that they *had* a website, but it was taken down.
