This is a form of justice and so it is abhorrent. It is an organised and legalistic form of barbarity. The fact that some hillbilly's or rednecks choose to drag a man behind a truck for example does not condemn Christendom, but rather the individual animals. Given that Islam has as Lewis puts it, "the inequities" it is clear that justice can be dispensed on that basis. I am not judging mind you. But ruminating.

Whatever it is, it certainly isn't justice. It is simple organized barbarity.

The thing that astonishes me is, we have women like Catherine MacKinnon running around here in North America (she's Canadian) claiming "all sex is rape" and "marriage is just institutionalized rape," etc., making to appear evil that which is good and noble, and yet you have areas of the world where there really IS "institutionalized rape," etc.

Now, do you think Ms. MacKinnon, on behalf of this oppressed womyn, is going to hop a jet to this god-foresaken area of the world, and seek to set things aright?

No, because she really WOULD get her clinched *ss pried open and loosened by the most hideous barbarians even SHE could conceive of.

The reason "feminists" like her are so bold to speak out is that we ARE civilized, and we DO respect "womyn" and "women" and all others whose physical strength makes them the weakest among us.

H*ll, in rural China they still expose deformed infants on a mountainside.

We have no idea how good we have it, and how far above "barbarian" status we really are, the MacKinnons of this world notwithstanding.
