I think the liberals are out to bash any idea that keeps women from being whores, prostitutes, and Abortion provider raw material suppliers openly and proudly. Some people have different ideas and they just hate that.

You are so right. The Taliban did such a wonderful job of "protecting" women. Is there a better way to keep them out of trouble other than death? </ sarcasm>

Look, we all know in your sick little fantasy world, you'd have American women wearing burquas, being beaten for not obeying every last little word of their husbands or fathers.

Thank god for some sanity around here. Was starting to think I was going mad.

As a Christian I do not support burquas for women. Are these women being abused? I don't know. Ask them if they feel abused. If they feel that they are abused then help them get out of that situation. Otherwise don't blame me for their abuse.

Try to restrain your historical ignorance. No Western/Christian society ever had an institution remotely similar to purdah or the burqua, much less the hareem. Perhaps the closest were traditional societies of Spain and Sicily, which were heavily influenced by Arab/Moslem attitudes due to long periods of occupation by them.

Most traditional Western/Christian societies, although quite variable, had a rough and ready equality in many respects between the sexes, when compared to historical norms.

A great many of the feminist stories of oppression are either just untrue, like the famous "rule of thumb" myth, or give only one side of what was invariably a complex issue.

I am glad women have finally achieved full legal equality in this society, but the demonization of our Christian past serves nobody but those who want to tear down the few remaining vestiges of traditional morality. It is not difficult to make a case that women and children were better protected in many ways 50 or 100 years ago than they are today. Not all "progress" is really progress.
