Reply #39: At least I can vote, work and not have to wear a burka here! [View All]

I don't paint all of Islam with one brush, but it does seem that in countries where Islam is the majority religion, women are treated like shit. I am open-minded about my neighbors who may be from the middle east, but I am never going to join their religion.

Obviously, my solution isn't exterminating muslims, but one does have to recognize that there are a lot of faults in any system, and some big ones in muslim-run nations.

Name a middle eastern country, other than Israel and occupied Iraq and Afganistan (because the minute we leave those places, women will have no more rights), that allows women to vote. Saudia Arabia? Fat chance, they don't even let women drive cars there. Pakistan? Look at what happened to their first woman leader. And so on. So, yes, as a free, independent and proud female american, I will state clearly that our system is better than theirs.
