As a woman, I thank you. What I find unforgiveable is the outcry by the islamic world over the alleged torture of Iraqi prisoners because they're men, and no outcry over the inhuman treatment of women perpetrated by islamics.

My sentiments exactly, as the story broke and to this day. Even in fear of being ridiculed for saying this, what the Iraqi prisoners went through was so minimal compared to the atrocities imposed on and by their own people, I have no sympathy, really. Sad to say, but that's how I feel.

But we aren't barbarians. What was done to the prisoners was indeed minimal when related to what their kind does to each other but America doesn't stand for such. On the whole, America is civilized. America doesn't mutilate little girls or rapes them to send them to Hell. They do, we don't. Americans should never stoop to their level.

It seems to me from the looks on the Arab men reading the papers and looking at the "pictures", they seemed more interested than appalled.

Unfortunately, women's rights are non-existant in Muslim countries. I always wonder where the little girls and women are when they show you what is happening on the streets of Iraq. The only time I've seen a woman, I am assuming here because they are dressed in head to toe in black, is scurrying around the market place avoiding any contact with anyone!

It's pretty common also, that after a hard day's work of protesting in the streets, they go home and take their real anger out on the wife with no hold barred. Evidently wife beating is a national pastime in most Muslim countries.

What I don't understand is why Muslim women in the USA don't try to get things changed for their suffering sisters in the Muslim world. I don't see Christina what's-her-name of CNN or any of the "contributing Muslim women reporters" in the MSM even taking about this.

This is probably sick, but if I were a Muslim woman, I'd be cheering on the GI prison guard with the cigarette in her mouth, suggesting she do more to these creeps than pose with an imitation AK-47 or have a dog leash around their neck!
