There are Muslim religious leaders in Pakistan who argued that a woman who has been raped has to have four male witnesses to prove it, otherwise she will be punished as an adulterer. But it gets sicker - they won that argument.
Pakistan just decided to leave rape within the jurisdiction of religious law. And since the literal reading of the Koran on this issue is vile, reprehensible and dead wrong, now women in Pakistan can pretty much be raped at will. Just make sure there are only three other male witnesses anytime you rape a woman in Pakistan, and you're home free.
Plus, for kicks, the sick religious leaders in Pakistan will punish the woman instead.
Yeah, yeah, I know, Islam is a religion of peace. My ass. Have you ever read the Koran? Just like the Bible, it is wildly contradictory and dripping in blood. Work with Christians and Jews in one verse, slaughter them in the next.
Before you Christians get all cocky and self proud about how Muslims are violent and Christians are holy, let me be clear - the only religion more violent than Islam in history is Christianity. Forget the Crusades, how about the Inquisition? How about the wholesale massacre of Native Americans? How about the enslavement of millions for centuries? How about World War I? How about the Holocaust? The German army in the Second World War had this slogan chiseled into their buckle belts: Got mit uns - God is with us!
Christians have killed more people than any other religion by a mile. But that doesn't make the religious leaders of Pakistan anymore right today. They are loathsome.
What drives me crazy is that I so badly want to defeat these Muslim extremists - and Bush keeps playing right into their hands. He is so painfully stupid. When he invaded Iraq, he justified all the ridiculous sloganeering of the Muslim radicals. They said America hated all Muslims. Then we invaded a Muslim country that had nothing to do with the people that attacked us - and proved Osama bin Laden right!
Then Bush helped their terror campaign by terrorizing the population here in America with his constant fear mongering for political reasons. We were told that if we didn't give up our freedoms and our way of life, the terrorists would win. No, you idiot, they win if we do give up our freedoms and our way of life.
Bush was a gift sent straight from God to Osama bin Laden. He invades Iraq, inflames the whole Muslim world against America, doesn't pursue Al Qaeda when we have them cornered in Afghanistan, doesn't spend money on securing our homeland, says he is unconcerned about Osama and then to top everything off - he shreds our own constitution. Talk about letting the terrorists win.
These Muslim radicals are incredibly dangerous. What if these cavemen in Pakistan topple Pervez Musharraf and gain control of the Pakistani nuclear warheads? What is Bush going to do then? I'm scared to death of what will happen in that scenario, because there's no way in the world Bush will handle it right.
We have two more years of this buffoon in office while there is a significant gathering threat. This guy is so incompetent that he brags that there was only one 9/11 on his watch. Could you imagine FDR bragging that there was only one Pearl Harbor while he was Commander in Chief? How many does there have to be before we declare you asleep at the wheel? My God man, there was a memo telling you they were coming and you stayed on vacation for another month! Do you care at all?
While North Korea builds more and more nuclear weapons, and the fundamentalists gain more and more power in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and Iraq becomes more and more destabilized, the neoclowns are talking about attacking Iran. These people are criminally stupid. Iran doesn't have any weapons, they didn't attack us and if we attack them, we will be inviting war with the whole Muslim world. Does that sound like a good idea to anybody?
We can beat these guys with our culture. Allowing the nearly indiscriminate rape of your own women is a losing proposition for any culture. If they persist in trying to follow the Koran literally, we will hand their ass to them in the culture wars (unless, of course, we insist on following the Bible literally). There is a smart way to fight and there is a counterproductive way to fight. Will someone please get a hold of the reins before we head further in the wrong direction?
I'm tired of losing to these Neanderthal Muslim radicals because our president is a Class A imbecile. We are the United States of America - the greatest country that has ever been - we can and we must do better!
