#2 Yeah, by all means, let's negotiate with these frigging savages. They look moderate to me.

#4 So just why are the women's rights groups, burka supporters, the apologists, The UN human rights commission, ACLU, Obama, Holder, Code Pink, Mikey Moore and Hollywood not screaming for action??? Makes me question their real agenda's. And where are the Muzzies in America and France and England on this???

#5 Islam always brings about a barbaric, savage theocracy.

#6 I recently watched 'The Stoning of Soraya M.' on netflix. Recommend it.

And 49 is right, exactly where are the feminist groups anyway?

#7 CF - you just don't understand do you? See, when these guys stone a woman to death it is just the quaint local custom of noble indigenous people. When we say "that is the kind of sh*t that needs to be stopped no matter what hellhole it happens in" well, that is simply bigoted, racist, cultural imperialism.

See, it's very simple!

#8 Thanks, Scooter - you said exactly what I was thinking, but much better than I could.

The Western groups ("feminist," "human rights," etc., etc., ad nauseum) aren't about actually changing the evil done to others, they're all about their perception of how wonderful they are to "file a protest."

Pfui on the lot of them. >:-(

#9 Actually, there is one small group of westerners that is providing effective help to the women of Afghanistan, here. But they're the real professionals.

#10 Barb - you hit the nail right on the head. They like the way that 'protesting' makes them feel. As long as it doesn't inconvenience them too much...

Scooter - Then I guess I'm bigoted, racist, and imperialistic :).

#11 "Then I guess I'm bigoted, racist, and imperialistic"

Take a number and get in line (behind me), CF.

#12 Sometime in the year before 9/11 there was an email going around trying to collect signatures for a petition to the Taliban to treat the women of Afghanistan better. They didn't pay any attention, oddly enough, so perhaps the types that get upset about such things gave up the the idea of fussing so very pointlessly, when it's easier to get made at Israel for starving overweight Gazans.

Well, no. Because helping Afghanistani (or African or Indonesian, etc) women does nothing to assist Western groups in gaining power and influence where it counts - in the West.
