#1 I'm really tired of hearing people apologize for backward Muslims. All of Arab Islam at least is destructive, backward and dangerous. While nominally an isolationist I'm beginning to think that the only hope for world is for the US to lead a coalition of like minded nations in dragging the middle east into the modern world.

#3 Wow. How widespread is this kind of mindset in Turkey? It certainly shatters my preconceived notions about Turkey if this kind of "commoditization" of daughters' sexual assets is widepsread...

#5 Turkish law currently allows sharp reductions in prison sentences for rapists who agree to marry their victims.

Victim? What victim? You mean the man facing decades in prison for just doing what the little trollop was asking for?
*End Medieval Mind Mode*

#7 Good thing Turkey is a bastion of Moderate Muslims, else the guy would've had to kill her.

#9 or bravely throw acid in her face, like any Muslim father would do to save the honor of the family.

#10 Turkish law currently allows sharp reductions in prison sentences for rapists who agree to marry their victims. In 2002, 546 men took advantage of the procedure and another 163 in the first four months of 2003, according to official figures.

Anyone care to bet what sort of lather (and rightfully so) women's rights advocates will work up over this little chestnut?

Marrying off rapists to their victims? That's going to make for mutually satisfying matrimonial conditions, all right. Calling Turkey a "moderate Muslim nation" is like labeling a crocodile a "pool maintenance technician."

Sadly, with the exception of me and perhaps a handful of others, they are busy salivating over Bill & Hillary at the DNC book lovefest.

Well, that's a silly question, Zenster. How very non-multicultural of you.

Since the "men" in question are (a) not white, (b) not Christian, and especially (c) not American, the so-called "women's rights" groups in this country (and the rest of the West) won't say anything at all.

#13 jules and Barbara, thank you for the lumps that I, perhaps only, partially deserve. I still refuse to believe that this world can be so blinded by partisan politics as to ignore such blatant simultaneous affronts to both reason and ethics.
