A couple recent news items beg the question: Where are 'women's rights' activists? Namely...
* From a CNSNews.com article: "A top judicial official in the United Arab Emirates...tried to allay concerns raised by a controversial ruling from the country’s highest court upholding the right of a Muslim to beat his wife and children. Islamic scholars cite the Quran itself in defending wife-beating – specifically, a sura that instructs Muslim husbands with disobedient wives to admonish them, then to refuse to sleep with them, and finally to beat them..."
* From an interview of a Chinese man in the wake of a forced abortion performed on his 8-month pregnant wife by Chinese government officials under their 'one child' policy: "There were many people surrounding my wife. They held her arms behind her back held her head against the wall, kicked her stomach, I don't know if they were trying to give her a miscarriage right there and then. Her arms, legs, neck - were all injured."
Again, where are the 'women's rights' advocates? Dare they defend Muslim women and risk challenging the idea that Islam is a 'religion of peace'? Are they similarly forced to remain silent about China's horrors in order not to admit that abortion really does kill children?
Reminiscent of the p.c. mentality regarding breast cancer, many continue to remain silent. On one hand, they act as if they want to stop the deadly disease, but on the other hand they refuse to educate women concerning two known causes of it - contraceptives & abortion.
How many women and children will be sacrificed for the 'god' of p.c.?
