"Women's activist Mavis Leno and CNN Muslim producer dialogue in Dallas," by Dina Malki for the Examiner, October 24:
At the 26th annual Dallas Women’s Foundation’s luncheon, Mavis Leno, wife of talk show's comedian Jay Leno, shared with the audience accounts about her journey into activism to help empower Afghani women and girls under the Taliban regime....
When asked about the role of Islam in the status of women in Afghanistan, Leno confirmed that “the Quran is more liberal with women than the Bible.”

People like Leno’s wife don’t want to bother with the facts. She’s going to keep repeating her falsehoods and people of like minds will buy into that.
I don’t know what Mavis is smoking, but she needs to pass it around.
And stupid should hurt.
So true.
You are correct.
I don't know but my guess is that she voted for Obama so that could be taken as the first step......
Even if that were true, the Muslims treat women horribly and the Christians treat them as equals.
Satan wants to be worshipped.
Mrs Leno is free to go to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria and a dozen other muslim nations and dress as she does in New York and try to drive and speak out like she does here. After that Mrs Leno if you are still alive and still have a tongue then tell us how bad women have it because of the Bible..................
So many idiots so little time................
Western society is so sick that I expect future mass conversions to Islam. We are already seeing some such conversions.
As far as Mrs Leno goes...*shrug* no cure for stupid.
Leno married a fool.
A leading feminist in California, as well as in the United States and internationally, she keeps a low profile in comparison to her husband, choosing instead to work behind the scenes of the non-profit, politically-charged groups she supports and runs.
She has been the chair of the Feminist Majority Foundation’s Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan since 1997. In 1999, she and her husband, Jay Leno, donated $100,000 to the organization, to further the cause of educating the public about the plight of Afghan women under the Taliban.
The organization successfully protested the construction of an oil pipeline through Afghanistan, which could potentially have brought in billions of dollars to the Taliban.
According to Melissa Rossi, Mavis Leno was a driving force in changing the opinion of U.S. President Bill Clinton and the executives of the now defunct oil company Unocal Corporation concerning the Taliban, after Leno had shed light on the group’s heinous treatment of women.

I’ll bet a paycheck she’s never read either one.
Okay, so Jay needs to slap a Burka on her and not let her drive or leave the house unaccompanied except by a male relative and probably beat her for talking to any male alone. Yeah, Mavis you’ve got your thinking cap on, don’tcha?
The feminist organization with a hip Beverly Hills-adjacent headquarters — financed with the help of industry activist Peg Yorkin — now has a global reach and the plight of Afghan women is a particular focus. (The group also publishes Ms. Magazine). Shortly after the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, Mavis and Jay Leno gave $100,000 to help jump-start the foundations’ global women’s rights program.
Mavis Leno had been involved with the Feminist Majority — founded in 1987 by former National Organization for Women President Eleanor Smeal and Yorkin — for some time and had become concerned about the Taliban’s often brutal discrimination against women. When Mavis Leno tried to interest news correspondents in the problem in the mid- to late 1990s, she hit a brick wall.
So she resolved to create a story that would appeal to people in an area she understood: the entertainment media. The entertainment media got it. And hard news reporters followed the stars as they — like the Magi — are prone to do.
Hard to believe someone be THAT ignorant to believe such stupidity
I don’t really blame Leno 100%. This is the direct effect of the disinformation and revisionist activity of the MSM.
If you read leftist and MSM sites, they have no concept of what Christianity is. I read a book last year written by a leftist atheist, who went “undercover” at Falwell’s church and was shocked the people weren’t meeting in secret to kill and hate gays and such. They really are clueless, albeit sometimes wilfully so.
She may be real but she's still a joke.
Leno’s wife is a walking idiot. =.=
