As an American Muslim who has lived in a Muslim country in my adult life- no, I'm not Arab/Persian/East Asian- I can assure you that Muslim women have PLENTY of rights. People just percieve us to be these oppressed figures who walk 5 steps behind our spouses and just push kids out and get beat up with complete obedience. Sorry, that's incorrect. A great deal of what people think Islam is, is what they see on TV and read in the Media…and sadly a lot of that is cultural and has nothing to do with the religion itself. Like say this article…if you read it you'll see that they had it out for this guy from the get go based off of who he was related to. They just used the "he was asking too many questions" line to get him in court. There's nothing wrong with asking questions about your religion…especially things pertaining to something as important as women's rights. This verdict has nothing to do with Islam, trust me they had a hidden agenda for this guy long before he asked his questions.

THIS is why I support the war. Those innocent people deserve the same rights we enjoy. Let's eradicate tyranny and oppression forever, here in our nation, and around the world!

Re: Narcissus – You ass. Get over it. It's different there. You obviously know NOTHING of the religion of Islam. Educate yourself and be more open-minded. It's because of people like you that this country has hit the fan. Dumbass.

what was our purpose of going over there and fighting again? jesus. wtf. wtff (what the fuckity fuck). this is so wrong.

and to LettyB - Perez is not being biased here and saying that this represents Islamic religion as a whole. it's the truth. that is what happened. the fact is, a man is being sent to prison for TWENTY years for asking a question about women's rights under ISLAM. My son is not even a year old. So, when he turns 20, this man will be getting out of prison, will be FREED for something so….petty as asking a question. Maybe there is something wrong with the Islam faith and there is definately something wrong with Afghanistan. They can go fuck themselves.

Seriously though this has nothing to do with the country itself but with the corrupted people in the country that was once a huge center of learning who believe that they are more righteous than God

what's funny is that negative ideas about women that have no base in the qur'an have apparently become part of muslim thinking by assimilation from surrounding cultures. the scripture does not make any distinction between women and men in terms of spiritual potential, that woman is not considered just a child-bearer, that no explicit division of labor is specified, that marriage is not meant as a means of oppression of women, and that the social reforms started in the holy qur'an are meant to be extended in ever-evolving, changing curcumstances.

i love being a women studies minor

Re: LettyB – Listen, your religion is bullshit as well as most other religions. the comments you see here, filled with competition and hate, are a nice image of what religion does : it makes the world grow apart and with different mentalities. what they did to that journalist is awful, buts its true that he knows how things go down over in retarded countries. im from canada asshole so what are you gonna say about me ?
