Answer 1

I do think you have a point - attacking others takes the focus off of yourself

the violence against women in the US, which is supposed to be so advanced, is appalling. Just remember that it is even worse in other countries.

we should stop the injustice in our own country before we worry about others

Answer 2

American women have rights that the Muslim women do not. Women in the US are allowed to protect themselves. I am a victim of violence at the hand of a man and I protected myself. (He ended up in the hospital.) This is an American right that Muslim women are not allowed.

I agree that the US should not spout off solutions to other peoples problems when they still have so many of their own and that they should fix their own problems first, but at least the US does give the women a solution to curb some of the abuse that occurs to them. What would happen to a Muslim woman that protected herself from her male attacker as opposed to the American woman? And where are your statistics of how many men are abused and killed my women in America as opposed to how many Muslim women kill and abuse men?

Answer 3

You know what? We ARE messed up - in a number of important things. And as LOW AS WE ARE - you havent ANY room to talk.
As repulsive as we've been - Muslims have been lower and seem to think its pretty cool.

We can be vile - but we are glimmering knights next to that kind of Muslim. You are beneath my contempt.

Answer 4

Answer 5

This stat here is not about "Honor Killings"....

HONOR KILLINGS IN AMERICA?
Of the 5328 women murdered in 1990, FBI data indicate that about half or more of them by a husband or boyfriend.

It's about the b&tch not knowing when to shut her mouth.

Answer 6

To justify? No!

I am a survivor of incest , rape, torture...So don't use that crap on me. It will not work!!
I am still proud to be an American. And more proud of being a follower of Jesus Christ.

I do NOT attack Muslims. I offer the truth. ALLAH is a lie. Repent and be saved.

Answer 7

I think it was about you azzholes crashing planes into our pretty buildings or something.
