Man, I'm loosing it... I've totally forgotten the correct etiquette that goes with Islamic gender and religious apartheid.

"[They] felt they had a right to behave that way in the name of what they thought was freedom and liberation."

I'm more concerned with the Islamic preachers of hate and jihad that do so under the banner of "freedom and liberation." At least these folks did not behead her.

Thanks for the ping.

"There is definitely a rise in Islamophobia across Europe," said Liz Fekete, deputy director of the London-based Institute of Race Relations. "Muslims collectively are being blamed for the attacks on the World Trade Center, and there is a general punitive climate toward Muslims. This has manifested itself in a variety of ways. On the ground, there has been a rise in racial violence on Muslim targets across Europe. And the biggest problem is that the scale of the problem has not been acknowledged," Fekete said.

Of course there is, and it's due to the Muslims' quiet complicity with the terrorists. I haven't heard a word from the Muslim leaders condemning the terrorist attacks in America or elsewhere. Their silence is deafening, and it's a sign of approval. So I'm not surprised people react to them in a negative way. I would too.
