"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.”

Hey Mavis go to a church without a burka/hajib and then go to Mecca without one, see how that works out for ya.
"...before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
-- Galatians 3:23-29
I don’t remember this women’s activist screaming about Monica’s treatment by Clinton.
SS: Mavis says, from the bottom of her heart, “He could never disappoint me.”
ML: No, because I truly know him, and he truly knows me. I met Jay in 1976. I’ve known him—
JL: Over 33 years.
ML: It was in January—I don’t remember the day. But at the time I thought, Holy s—t! That comedian is gorgeous! I had gone to the Comedy Store with my girlfriend because I was writing comedy with some partners. Friends kept saying, “You have to hang out at the Comedy Store and the Improv—you’ll meet people who can give you jobs.” The first time I went, they sat us front row center—that means you’re this far from the comic. And there was Jay.
SS: Was that at the very beginning of your career, Jay?
JL: Yeah, pretty much. But the interesting thing is, I’ve probably lived with five women—and every one of them was born on the same day. I can look at a woman and go, “September 5.” I don’t know why that is. I don’t look for a woman born on September 5, I just wind up attracted to them.
ML: Just casually, he asked what my birthday was, and I said, “September 5.” He started laughing. I remember it so clearly. I said, “What?” And he said, “Aw, nothing.”
JL: I remember I had Cathy Guisewite [of the “Cathy” comic strip] on, and I said, “I’m happily married...don’t take this wrong...I am attracted to you but in an odd way. Were you born on or around September 5?” And she said, “Yes, on September 5.” I said, “Sorry, I’m not flirting,” and then I explained. It made me laugh.
ML: When he finished his act the night we met, I needed to go to the ladies’ room. What I didn’t know was in the Comedy Store back then, that area was the only place for the comedians to hang out. So when I came out of the bathroom, he said, “Are you that girl in front?” and I said, “Yes, that was me.”
On the other hand, Christianity and Judaism regarded humans as imperfect, but capable of becoming more perfect. Christianity and Judaism adopted more modern ethical frameworks. Hence, the status of both women and men has progressed from that of Biblical times.
You probably should have let it go at “ignorant”, of course you could have thrown in stupid, because both of those are painfully obvious.
“Slut”, however may be a little over the top, I’m not saying it’s not true, just no evidence of that yet.
this is pretty typical from just about everyone in or connected to hollywood, ignorant,blind,stupid, lets feelings and emotions overcome any intellect they might have. For the most part they are brain dead useful idiots, and the very first ones to be executed when their beloved JIHAD comes to a City near you.

Dan Aykroyd to Jane Curtin in Saturday Night Live’s “News Update” ...
“Jane, you ignorant slut ...”
:)
Dan always played the right wing hard guy, and Jane was the left wing air head.
But that was about 35 years ago, so maybe you are not familiar with it.
:)
When was she circimsized and where is the male relative to escort her in public?
Sheesh. Put on your burka, stay three steps behind, and sit in the trunk of the car.
That is just so stupid. Is she saying muslims are kinder to women than Christianity?
Hardly.
I’m flattered that you think I’m young, but I’ve got grown Grandchildren. I was out of graduate school when SNL was perpetrated on us.
Maybe regarding the beating and killing of them, but not otherwise.
I find it interesting that, amidst all the predictions of the Tea Party’s demise, it is not-so-quietly in the process of putting one of its own in the presidency. I hope no one’s looking.
Post of the day!
“liberal” as in “wanting to take control of”?
She’s absolutely right!

“The woman obviously doesn’t know the Bible very well”.
Of course not. She hasn’t read the Bible. She hasn’t read the Koran. If she had, she wouldn’t have made such ignorant statements. IMHO.
Oh, my...Mavis is an idiot.
But who else would marry Jay Leno?
Isn’t that where they throw acid in the face of little girls for the crime of going to school?
I must have missed the section in the Bible that lists when it’s appropriate to beat your wife.
