4. It's dangerous for them to allow anyone to enter the 20th century... |
|
let alone the 21st century. If they allow one woman into this century they'd have to allow them all in, and that would be the end of their 17th century way of life.

They're just not too keen on sharing any of it with the women folk.

http://www.wbez.org/story/libya/equal-rights-law-libya-womenA little known fact is that Qaddafi opened up society to women when he took power 41 years ago. Women have equal protection under the law and are represented in many fields.This has been one of the original justifications for the Islamic "purists" groups have violently opposed the Gaddafi regime. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/22/us-libya-islam-idUSTRE74L1H220110522And we let the Saudi Monarch pressure us to take Libyan society into a devastating civil war?? It is truly amazing.

10. So how is the GOP\'s current |
|
attacks against women in states all over America any different?
Yes it is sad how they treat women in the ME but ya know what, you can\'t do anything about it at all, however YOU can do something about the activities of the Christian Taliban in America going after women in America on a daily basis.
