Kos Kid: Women Have It Great Under Islam
Little Green Footballs ^ | March 09, 2008 | by Charles Johnson

Posted on 03/09/2008 2:08:35 PM PDT by jdm

A Kos Kid gives it his best effort to be as blind and stupid as possible: Daily Kos: Is Islam Really Stuck in the 12th Century on Women’s Rights?

After denying that there’s any problem for women in Islamic countries, Joshua Holland writes in the first comment:

Who Knows?

Hell, maybe women do fare a lot worse in Islamic culture than they do in other faiths. I’ve just never seen any hard evidence to support that claim.

You haven’t seen any “hard evidence,” Joshua, because you haven’t looked.

Ten worst countries for women.

It’s a constant source of amazement to me that self-defined “liberals” like this will make excuses for the most illiberal societies, and look the other way as women are ruthlessly oppressed by a belief system from the Dark Ages.

Regarding the left - those blinded by Satan will believe anything.

Alternet: Big Media Can’t Write off Edwards

This great, amazing article by Joshua Holland is one to share with our brothers and sisters in the Progressive Movement (you know - the real Progressive Movement, not the one the DLC thinks is just another way of diffusing the unpopular label “liberal”).

******

Joshua Holland argues in favor of “opening up the Medicare program to anyone who wants to enroll.” He argues that such a system would cost Americans less than our current health care system for various reasons, one of which, he said, is that Medicare has lower administrative costs than private insurers.

Joshua Love'ya Baby Holland is a fair-trade activist (?), a student of international relations at USC, editor of the school's lefty muckraker, blah, blah, blah, blah.

These are the types the State Department and Diplomatic Service recruit for employment in their ranks.

I bet he's a queer.

“Fair Trade” is what used to be called “protectionism”, although there’s no hard evidence of THAT neither, according to little Josh. Now, let’s all face East and start wailing into thin air.

You don’t seem to understand - he CARES and he’s a fierce supporter of hope and change as well!

Actually women (such as this teenager) have it about the same under Islam as they would under the socialism/marxism/liberalism of the Daily Kos monsters. There is much for these B. Hussein Obama supporters to admire.

The Star lists Afghanistan as the worst country for women and Iraq as #3. No liberal bias there/sarc

And Iran isn't even listed? What a load of crap. They lash, hang or stone women who are accused of adultery or being in the company of a man who is not her husband. Iranian women are also ordered to cover their heads by their own government.

Iraqi women can and do hold public office, high ranking government jobs, vote, drive and do not have to cover up. Girls go to school (that was a bunch of BS in the Star's article) just as regularly as boys do and children are all now going regularly since the fear factor of recent years has been significantly reduced.

This article is just more liberal garbage. Either that, or the writer got the 'n' and the 'q' mixed up on the keyboard.

The sad thing is, many people will take it as gospel, just as they do anything the media feeds them.

Holland is on the right. The smirking grin of pure evil. A four star psychopath. A horror-show monster with a smile.

Yep, all those white Christian men always beating their wives before they rape them.

Don't forget what happens on Super Bowl Sunday. [/sarc]

No wonder he thinks the Muzzies treat their women just fine. He looks like one of them. If his name is "Holland" mine is Fatima.

IF ONLY WE COULD GET THE PROPAGANDA RIGHT ... - JOSHUA HOLLAND (SMIRKING CHIMP, DECEMBER 20): Despite a series of “Public Diplomacy Tsars” ranging from Madison Avenue hotshot Charlotte Beers to long-time Bush “wife” Karen Hughes, we’ve been behind in the information war from the get-go.

PS: It surely hasn’t helped that we hired a rabidly pro-Israel bunch of Evangelical Christian fundamentalists to produce Arabic-language programming for broadcast to the Iraqi people.

Joshua Holland, a senior majoring in international relations who spoke for the College Greens said he objected to Bush’s war on terror.

“This is an unnecessary war of choice,” he said.

The College Democrats argued for Kerry as well.
