If monotheism were the problem then the brutal mistreatment of women would be pervasive in Judeo-Christian culture as well, which of course it isn’t. Interesting (and revealing) that Maher didn’t bring that up in his argument.
Feminists excuse the Islamic misogynist/rape culture for three reasons:
1) Cowardice. REAL misogynists (Islamics) scare the hell out of them. Most feminists are spoiled, middle-class white girls who only have the courage of their convictions when they know they’re physically safe. They’re afraid that if they criticize Islam, they could very well end up dead.
2) They view white, Christian men and Judeo-Christian culture as their biggest enemies, same as Islamics do. So it’s become an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” situation.
3) They’re deathly afraid of being thought of as “racists” (liberals’ biggest fear), even though Islam obviously isn’t a race.
Add up all three, and it’s easy to see how feminists twist themselves into pretzels in attempting to excuse the Islamic barbarians.
The simple fact is that “feminism” has absolutely nothing to do with women, except using them as cannon fodder in whatever leftist cause that is popular at the time.
That is why “feminists” remained totally silent about the Muslim rape-fest in Europe. They say nothing about female circumcision. They say nothing about the black on every woman rape epidemic. They don’t warn women that the overwhelming majority of women with HIV/AIDS get it from a black sex partner.
Blacks, and Muslims are part of the democrat “coalition of the oppressed” and as such, they are given a complete pass on their horrific War on Women. Women being a part of the “coalition of the oppressed” are expected to allow themselves to be raped, mutilated or murdered without a peep.
“Feminism” was created only to split the white vote by turning white women against their white husbands, fathers, brothers, cousins, etc. You don’t see any attempt by “feminists” to turn black women against black men, or Hispanic women against Hispanic men.
Women and their conditions in the Moslem world are not relevant to Power and Control of everything in the United States except as Moslem violence and other cultural differences aid the Left in that quest for total power.
Because the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
Why answer the problem when she can blame faith in one god.
Never mind that Christianity’s God through the Apostle Paul set very high standards for treating women well.
She also has one god; Satan.
Pray for her, she still has time. What could be better for women’s rights than for her to become a Christian? For starters all the women that could at least be born if she and her kind helped eliminate abortion.
This week’s sign of the apocalypse: I’m agreeing with Bill Maher on something.
