Good for Jack Straw. Has to do with the way Islam views women — bag them up, beat them if they are out of line, kill them if they date Westerners. And rape them if you can.
Western Civ/ Christian world view elevates women, values the family unit as a way to protect women and children, channels testosterone into creating and building community.
They are mutually exclusive worldviews.
Heh. Try telling that to organizations like NOW. According to them, we're the absolute worst in the world when it comes to women's rights, but they rarely if ever say a peep about muslim societies.
Well stated.
