Currently throughout the middle east, a women may be stoned to death after being raped upon charges of cheating on her husband. If they had changing the world on their minds, would they have wasted their time on Imas?

Brand X, do you not think directing an entire media campaign agaist any country which considers women secondary citizens a possible or worthwhile task. I'm trying to bridge some gaps between the poles.

They have been trying to do something about the way women are treated in fundamentalist Muslim countries for a long time. For the most part they could not even get the US military and US corporations to provide equal treatment of their female employees and customers in these countries, so how can you expect them to effect foreign governments let alone radical extremist.

A better question to ask is why most people were so indifferent to the treatment of these women until after 9/11.

Answer this question:
what exactly do you expect them to do?
then, look at the odds of whatever your answers were actually happening usuing common sense... that's your answer...
because most actions they can take wouldn't be worth the time taking them
er... media campaigns in areas that have no control over a nation, like a U.S. campaign against Iran... does little... you're preaching to the converted...
and their media won't let you on it...

Perhaps if you actually followed women's peace movements, (like the ones in the U.S.) you would realize that many of these groups are fierce in advocating for change in the M.E.
Code Pink and Human Rights Watch are a few of them.

is it possible...they have and you missed it. and if that issue became their main focus would they need to say it every day to make sure everyone heard them?....case in point.... even the current president has admitted , saddam had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack, yet there are still a number of U.S. citizens who believe he did.

Imus was a victory for them so I don't know how you can challenge their judgment on that decision. Sometimes you gotta generate some momentum before you take on the tough fights.

They would fight for their rights to abuse women to the end. Even bringing the subject up would be reason for full out jihad, as they feel it is their Allah given right to treat women as they do.

They have been, for quite a long time now. A little checking will clear this up for you :-).

Maybe they have and you just haven't seen it. Didja consider that possibility?
