| Sharia and Women -- Two Very Different Perspectives |
| 2009-10-27 |
| One Obama advisor who has not gotten much attention to date is Dalia Mogahed, appointed earlier this year to serve on something called the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Mogahed, who claims Muslims in America have spent the last eight years "enduring religious racism," recently made a very disturbing joint appearance on British TV's "Islam Channel" with an official from Hizb un Tahrir -- the Sunni fundamentalist group that wants to impose sharia law as the foundation for establishing a global caliphate. (See here and here.) The theme of the program was that sharia doesn't really oppress women -- in fact, it's far better for them than Western notions of liberty. (Cinnamon Stillwell has details at the Middle East Forum, here.) A very different perspective is offered by the Syrian-born American psychiatrist Wafa Sultan in a bracing new book called A God Who Hates, about the bleak life of women in Islamic societies. Andrew Bostom reviews the book at the American Thinker. |

| #3 She finds it so delightful, in fact, that she is still living here instead of Saudi Arabia or Iran. Freakin' hypocrite. |

| #2 Let's do the body count USA. Muslim on nonmuslims murders: 3000+. Nonmuslim on muslim murders: a handful. Religious racism indeed. |

| #1 sharia doesn't really oppress women -- in fact, it's far better for them than Western notions of liberty. Then let them move back to the shitholes that practice it. |
