The requirement for working for AP is that one has certification of completion of full prefrontal lobotomy

‘“No such generalization is supported by the diverse circumstances for women in the Muslim world,” writes the AP’s Calvin Woodward.’

The “Muslim world” =/= Islam, any more than “Christendom” = Christianity. How women are treated in various countries with a lot of Muslims doesn’t tell us how Islam the religion views or treats women.

All one has to do to get the true picture is look at the foundation of the religion, the koran, and you can see the truth.

They’re already instituting that crap in public schools. Just like they had their “day of silence” to promote sympathizing with homosexuals, they are trying to get schools to have special days now to wear Muslim head coverings, etc, to promote sympathizing with Muslims.

These Left loons are so hellbent on discrediting Trump they’re willing to make complete fools of themselves.

He says it’s OK because Muslim women “prefer it that way”. Won’t wash. When western women preferred it that way, we were told that we needed our consciousness raised.

If he believes it, maybe he and his wife, girlfriend, (or boyfriend) should take a trip the Middle East.

Every day the LSM keeps telling people things the people know are not true. So it just grows Trumps support because people hear the truth in his words.

Okay, I guess this one is being treated pretty good compared to the last one. AP must be right.

“But many Muslim women adhere to Islamic norms not out of fear or repression, but in observance of faith and their own preference.”

OMG! Muslims don't repress women?

I'm more than ready to have that debate. Let's talk about it, shall we, you scum-sucking apologists for subjugation of women, including their slavery, rape, and murder!

The way women are treated in the Muslim world is horrendous! With the backing of state apparatus that is deeply intertwined with fundamentalist religious and educational institutions, persecution of women in most Mulsim counrries is, in many cases, fully formalized and legalized, with all the horrific practical side effects that accompany an official policy of women being second class by law.

The fact that the writers of this article, and the company for which they work would even try to make this claim, given the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, is an indictment of their total lack principle.

To be so transparently in the tank for the Establishment, acting as a totally hysterical and irresponsible anti-Trump propagandist, is just breathtaking.

Let's be clear: In general, Islam treats women horribly, with the stipulation that doubtless there are anecdotal exceptions.

Is their anybody on this forum who disagrees with my assertion?

Is there anybody here who think that Islam, in general, doesn't treat women horribly?

I'm just curious...

Yeah. That's why they stay inside burning dormitories and get burned to death rather than going outside. It's also why they don't drive cars in Saudi Arabia. I guess none of them want drive.

Peabrain Woodward should go watch The Stoning of Soraya M. (Such nice people!)

It’s clear that Woodward has very little knowledge of Islam.

The amazing thing is that it’s even considered controversial to say Islam treats women horribly.

Trump is the ONLY leader to dare say this out loud, even though it is so transparently true.

By that logic, we should never hear a peep out of the race baiting poverty pimps because Zero is president

I would say that a forked tongue is the more likely scenario.

In a related statement, several media figures were heard to deny that the sky is blue and water flows downhill.
