Why do Muslim women get mad when western women are angered by what they perceive as Islam's "oppression" of women? Don't you realize it's mostly fellow "sisters" being upset by poor treatment of Muslim women in Islamic countries?
Our media doesn't tell us, "Oh, look at these stupid, suplicating women who don't stand up for their rights?" They show us atrocities the Taliban have committed against Muslim women! Are you saying "religion police" in some villages do NOT chase women & beat them for not wearing the full burqa or venturing out without a male relative? Are you saying there are NO women who are forbidden an education or a job?
We, in the west, have been brought to tears by media stories of widows who are banned from earning a living to feed their children & are only allowed out when ascorted by a son or a male relative. They suffer, they need help!
Do you not know this or are you saying it's a media fairytale? Many of us just feel for our fellow women.
