Another Innocent Slayed
May 20, 2005
A young Afghani woman murdered. Randall McElroy:
It’s almost mind-boggling to think about, but just a few years ago women were not allowed outside the house without a male relative accompanying.
That's still the case in the desert Kingdom of Mordor. The only time girls can go outside alone in Saudi Arabia is when they're going to school. Any other reason -- for example, shopping, traveling, going to the hospital -- requires the presence of, at least, one male relative. Allah help you if the male is not a relative. Women are not allowed driver's licenses, and cabs and buses refuse to accept unaccompanied females. Hence, the life of a female is very limited.
But remember: Islam treats women with tremendous respect. Unlike the wretched and exploitative West.
/sarcasm.
