You won't believe the depravity of a society in this article: doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2008/11/15/mother-of-the-female-suicide-bombers-taunts-her-captors/

...."BUYER"....SHE SAID "BUYER"!

From the article: "Around here, everyone makes price the first factor in determining who the girls marry."
SHE SAID "PRICE IS THE FIRST FACTOR"!

Apparently, in Islam, LOVE is not the first factor in marriage, like it is in the civilized world! Warped, really.

In their 7th century culture grooms PAY for brides...kind of like when we in the civilized world pay for cattle, or sheep, or prostitutes.

I can just see a poor little 9 year-old girl living in a brutal Islamic land saying "mommy, before you sell me for sex, and even before you negotiate over my price, please don't pick a buyer who is real old like Mohammad was when he bought little Aisha, please mommy...it's bad enough that our society has driven you to cut-off my genitalia."

To learn more about how many girls are treated in Islam , Google: Islam FGM
The top 3 FGM nations are all Islamic-majority nations....

btw, i.belestri: your article from that Islamic women's rights advocate was superb! She is the kind of person who will eventually discredit Islam in the eyes of the world.

How can we eliminate the Quran's call for non-equality of women once and for all? Is apostasy the only solution? Quranic reform? More Western culture, to help drive out their 7th century inclinations? *Shaming* Muslims into treating their women equally? Your ideas?

You are one desperate dude, Freedom Seeker! If stereotyping didn't exist you wouldn't be able to post on Political Forum.

Bride prices are nigh ubiquitous in pre-industrial and pre-women's suffrage societies and states. It is extremely common among Hindus in India and in Africa among Muslims, Christians, and animists.

Female genital mutilation is practiced by numerous cultures and it is not part and parcel of Islam. It is also practiced by Muslims, Christians, and animists. It is part of the pre-industrial, pre-feminist societies that seek to control women's sexuality.

By comparison, male genital mutilation is part and parcel of Judaism, and is widespread in practice in the mostly Christian nation of the United States.

We can only imagine ourself what wait for Christian in Europa in 50 years when the Muslim gain majority.
