| Shocking: There is Widespread Domestic Abuse in Syria!!! |
| 2006-04-25 |
| I could not believe this. Let me check the surprise meter...huh, that's funny, nothing on the register, batteries must be dead... But a new study released earlier this month that says as many as 1 in 4 Syrian women may be victims of physical violence is beginning to reveal just how widespread a problem domestic abuse is throughout the country. Umm, 1 in 4 only if you don't count any violence occurring that is permitted by the Koran, it was written afterall. Who did this poorly done study anyway? The study, funded by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and conducted by the state-run General Union of Women, is the first of its kind to try to quantify and explain the types of violence Syrian women face. That explains that. "Violence is in every home in the Arab world," says a woman who works at the shelter and asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of their work. "The number of abused women is more than 1 in 4. We hope that with a hotline we'll be able to help the largest number of women possible. We hope we can provide these women with a type of hope so they can know themselves and can rebuild their self-esteem," she says. That's more like it, give the anonymous woman a cigar. It is amazing to me how the left panders to these "people". |

| #1 I wonder how the left would feel about Islam if it were renamed "The International Association for the Repression of Wimmins." |
