Another day and I'm sitting here without anything to do. I'm searching for a good channel to watch but as usual, nothing really captures my interest. Sadly, television is the only entertainment women really have and nothing good is on. It's 120 degrees outside and I'm thankful for the few hours of power a day we get so I feel cool (Baghdad only averaged 5 hours of power per household for the entire month of July.) But our lives are so drab and boring, even monotonous.
All the luxuries of the west are missing in our democracy. The movie theaters, parks, swimming pools, malls, amusement parks, theaters-even sports stadium for matches or local competitions. Those with money now leave Iraq for vacation, for shopping, for rest and recuperation. But for those of us who are just middle-class, and especially the women, we are stuck here, bored out of our minds. We are not living, we are merely existing.
Of course we can't have such diversions until we fix the infrastructure. Fix the electricity, the water, the roads, the schools, even the government if such a thing is even possible. I couldn't agree more. But even if by a miracle those things were fixed, and by another miracle theaters and malls were built, as a woman I still couldn't go there. In the Muslim/Arab world, women should not go unescorted anywhere, not even with her sister or with a group of friends. Her reputation will be questioned, people will whisper this or that, neighbors will watch and shake their heads and the rumors will spread, and all for what? For a woman wanting to go catch a movie with her friends? Really?

Great article, thanks.
Islam is slavery.
Slavery is alive and well on planet earth in 2010.
And the dullards and liars on the left make excuses and pretend it doesn’t exist.
Islam is slavery; and leftists are evil.
In America it took a group of very brave women to risk their lives to change things.90 years ago this week was the anniversary of women in America getting the right to vote and all other rights came from that first step.The old American saying"sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me" might come in handy here.You are right about men's fears when they have complete control they can do whatever they want.Once they lose that control then they have to work to be good men in order to keep their women.You are not property you are a human being just as equal as any other human being is in this world.Never forget that.Perhaps your generation will be the one to change women's future in the Arab world?Yeah, right. America in 1910 was the same as Islam in 710, 810, 910, 1010, 1110, 1210, 1310, 1410, 1510, 1610, 1710, 1810, 1910, 2010.
How naive. How freaking naive.
I hope all those feminazis enjoy their brief indian summer
“Islam is slavery.”
IIRC, the literal translation of the word “islam” is submission. So, yes, you are right.
Try and get a leftist to realize that all the women under Islam are 2nd class citizens, slaves in many ways.
They say ‘we have muslim friends in America, they are independent, they wear the same clothes we do, go wherever they want, have money, work, etc.’
We’re not under sharia taqiyya (hands off, I am going to create a cartoon character named this!) yet either here. But over there in the other 57 ‘states’ Obama accidentally mentioned, that are Islamic, they aren’t living like that.
Do the women ever get upset that our women have to change the way they dress over there? Covering heads and such? It’s not just respecting a custom. It’s bending over for a culture that forces such garb on women. There is no choice, it’s not about respecting the culture.
First, thank for your service to our country. Second, I wonder if all those smart mouthed, bitter liberal chicks think about the possibilities of having to live like that one day and be considered lower than a dog. It would be interesting to see the big 3 on “The View” be subservient or how would the gals in code pink react? I wonder how long it would take them to become REAL Islamophobes?
Thank-you for your service!

Sorry, honey, but Muslims is as Mislims does. My condolences on your misfortune to be born in seven centuries behind the rest of the world. Things really ain’t fair.
