The Jewish man said, "I wiped my hands on the bedspread."

This is where the joke normally ends. However, considering the plight of all women who are trapped in Islam, I would like to add another ending:

The Muslim man said, "Well, last week my wife and I also had sex. She enjoyed it so much that for punishment I poured hot boiling oil all over her body and she screamed all day until she died.

We are all familiar with battered woman's syndrome where battered women stay in abusive relationships. Similarly, Muslim women, although they deny they are unhappy or slaves, are in fact in denial. They will tell you that they love wearing hajibs even in hot weather. The truth of the matter is that Muslim women do indeed want to wear the veil, but not because it's enjoyable or that they "love" it, but because it helps in keeping Muslim animals away from them. Because Islam is a terribly restrictive and unnatural religion, it sets up unrealistic requirements on the sexes to the point that Muslim men have to either rape women (Muslim or not) or have sex with goats.

Sadly the world, blinded by religious tolerance, refuses to recognize the barbaric slavery of Muslim women. Some of us recall when the Red Cross visited selected Nazi camps and were told by the imprisoned Jews how well they were treated by their kind, gentle captors. It could be some of them wanted to believe it because they could not face the truth of their imprisonment and torture. Likewise, the female half of Islam needs an intervention. What the male half deserves I am ashamed to think of.

Due to the unsuitable environment and hostile attitude of the men, Muslim women were confined to their home. Even talented and educated Muslim women lacked opportunities. Net is providing a non-corporate, gender-neutral environment that is a big lure, especially in cultures where women have education but lack opportunity.

How Pakistan's rape reform ran aground

In Pakistan, rape is dealt with under Islamic laws known as the Hudood Ordinances. These criminalise all sex outside marriage.

So, under Hudood, if a rape victim fails to present four male witnesses to the crime, she herself could face punishment.

This has made it almost impossible to prosecute rape cases.

According to the country's independent Human Rights Commission, a woman is raped every two hours and gang-raped every eight hours in Pakistan.

These figures are probably an under-estimation as many rapes are not reported.

Sex, Men, Women, Violence, Religion

When you tell a child he can't have something, he wants it even more. Islam, especially in places like Saudi Arabia, doom some women and men to miserable, hideous lives. Freedom's Cost, sums it up this way:

Isn’t it interesting that the very culture that was meant to foster morality, that was meant to protect women against the animal instincts of certain males has instead fostered the exact opposite? Could it be that the religion does in fact mean to foster morality, but IslamoFascist interpretations have instead resulted in creating the immorality and disregard for human life it was meant to suppress?
