#1 This extremist ideology enrages many secular Muslim women, who say it's a misrepresentation of Islam.

I have to disagree. There were scarce times when Islam was somewhat liberalized (despite of it, not because of it), but it always reverted to its 7th century ideological paradigm.

The problem Is Islam. The problem was always Islam.

#2 we need to train and arm the womyns - they need self-protection against the Islamic male (seething, insecure (for good reason), humiliated, and tiny-penised)

#3 Does it strike anyone else that these fundamentalist Islamic anti-women behaviors are possibly the result of some sort of repressed homosexual psychoses? Sort of like Jeffrey Dahmer, Muslim style?

#4 I think it tells more to the (rightly so) diminished self-esteem of the Islamic male - based on their cultural, technological, and economical (without oil) achievements, and teh open opportunity that the Koran gives to take it out on someone else. They are allowed to lord it over the wymyns, who they rightly fear of cheating/leaving them for someone better (who wouldn't?) , as well as elevate their self -esteem by unconscionable means. Who in western society would be thought less manly and more psycho-loser than a man who throws acid in a woman's face? The entire Islamic society is sick to its core
