Didn't Bin Laden have a portion in that letter that he wrote criticizing the West dedicated to where he was trying to hold the West over the grill for disrespecting women?
If I recall correctly he was pointing out how we use beautiful women to sell our products buy getting the consumer to believe that if he buys the product he has a chance at getting the girl that is holding said product.
Bin Laden said this was some kind of evil.
Just let it go dude. I was 27 before I stopped looking for one of those Budweiser women to jump into my lap every time I cracked open a beer.
Eventually you accept you've been lied to and you move on.
I drink Miller now anyway.
His solution to this problem we have of disrespecting our women is what his solution is to everything adopt Islam.
Who is he kidding?
461 Pakistani women have been killed this year alone in what are called "honor killings" for everything from sex outside of marriage, dating, talking to men, being raped or just cooking a shitty dinner.
And you think western women would want to trade their situation here in the states for that? Half of them don't even know how to fix a bowl of Fruit Loops anymore. Having a modern day western woman cook an edible meal would be like setting her up to fail.
And don't give me, "Well, Islam doesn't condone that kind of behavior". Well, maybe it doesn't, I will give you that but evidently it also doesn't prevent it either.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said that they expect those numbers to rise higher once they are done compiling the reports.
They don't even want to speculate on the killings that didn't go reported.
According to the commission's figures, out of 161 slain women in Punjab state, 67 were killed by their brothers, 49 by their husbands and rest of them were executed by other family members.
In seven cases, sons killed their own mothers.
Man, killing your own mother, that's harsh.
"Unfortunately, the police in Pakistan often don't arrest such killers. They are not treated as murderers," said Mirrat Malik, a research assistant at the commission.
For example, of Punjab's 161 cases, only 27 killers were arrested. No figures were available on convictions.
However, the commission says that this situation doesn't look like it is going to improve anytime soon. Pakistani religious parties who made a strong showing in the Oct. 10 parliamentary elections are also in favor of giving only "limited" independence to the women, who make up half of Pakistan's population of 140 million.
But wait a minute, Bin Laden said Islam treated women equally to men? How can you be equally limited? How could it be that when Islamic religious parties increase in power woman's human rights go into the toilet in the Middle East? Could it be that Osama is talking out of his ass again? I guess it all depends on what you consider is the proper way to treat a woman.
