The Muslim war on women's rights
The Hill ^ | July 01, 2016 | Stephanie M. Jason

Posted on 07/02/2016 9:32:30 AM PDT by Leaning Right

"We came, we saw, he died," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joked on a CBS interview when told about the death of Libyan Dictator Muammar Qaddafi on October 20, 2011.

Prior to the overthrow of the Gaddafi government, Muslim women in Libya were the beneficiaries of gender sensitive policies encouraging advanced education and entrepreneurism through small business loans. These western-focused policies were created to give Libyan women equal access to economic resources, such as finance and land ownership.

This might present a dilemma for some lefties. Women's rights are very important to them. Yet the poor oppressed Muslims actively work to crush women's rights.

Oh my, what will those lefties do? I guess they will blame the West in general, and Trump in particular, for provoking those Muslims.

Interesting to think about.

Yes Qadaffi was a ruthless dictator. But is the world better off, with Libya being an ISIS affiliated state?

I’ve never understood the liberal views on overthrowing dictators.

The liberal view was that we should not have overthrown Saddam Hussein. And they talk about look what a mess was created in Iraq, which persists to this day.

But in the case of Libya, the liberals wanted to overthrow Qaddafi, and a huge mess was created by his overthrow. But the liberals don’t talk about that aspect of things.

Is it because Obama and Hillary created what Libya has become? And the fact that they are good Democrats?? And if a Democrat does something then it’s not to be criticized???

Liberals follow orders. Nothing you said is ever in their minds. Following orders is in their minds. They say what they are told to say, and do what they are told to do. Anything else they see as challenging authority, which is death to them. If liberals were told to support gun rights and fight against abortion, they would - instantly, and with total dedication. Because They Don't Care what the issues are. They care ONLY about obedience. They are NOT like you and I - At All.

The Muslim war on women's rights

Feminists have always been exceedingly willing to cast their stated principles aside for the benefit of larger left-wing goals - just look at the eagerness with which they threw a young female White House intern preyed upon by her boss under the bus. It's fascinating to watch the extent to which they are willing to twist logic, common sense, language and their own stated ethics to accommodate political correctness.

"Yes Qadaffi was a ruthless dictator."

Qadaffi, like Assad in Syria is only ruthless and brutal toward those who actively seek to diminish their power.

But for the average Joe and Jane, there was a sound system of laws, property and basic human respect type.

Their civil societies were mature and even handed.

But each killed and tortured Jihadi's like it was sport...as they were the majority of those in opposition.

And, for that, they get tagged with the "Brutal, Murderous Dictator" moniker.

Geez. What's the world coming to?

The womens’ “rights” groups will, in the end, bow down in submission to their new masters, the muzzies.

There are no rights in Islam - women’s or otherwise. There is only the will of allah.

The muslims have a 1,400 year record of forward progress, with few pushbacks (Spain, etc).

The modern secular atheist Left is less than 300 years old.

The record shows that when the swords come out, secular atheists have no problem reciting the ten or twelve words that make them muslims.
