Feminists used to be very hot on the tail of "saving" Muslim women from abuse.

Hillary and Pelosi may soon have 2 of the most powerful positions in the world.

Will they be brave? Or will they be cowardly and do NOTHING about something their supporters used to scream about?

Will this make the National Organization of Women proud of Hillary ? Or will they simply ignore what used to be one of their most important concerns?

"The condition of Muslim women may be the most pressing women's issue of our age, but for many contemporary American feminists it is not a high priority. Why not?"

As liberals, Clinton and Pelosi will say much but do nothing. They will govern by empty gesture, empty rhetoric, and symbolism. Liberalism is not about solving real-world problems. It is about demagoguing issues, preying on people's (misplaced) sense of intellectual superiority, and appealing to mindless emotion. The result of their pointless pantomime will be more violence against women--and everyone else.

Why just Muslim women and why just wives? We are far from the only ones that COULD be vitimized. I say this because I am a Muslim woman, (Muslimeh) and the only 2 women I have ever met that were beat 1 by her husband was just a regular white american woman and the 2nd a girl from high school who was one of my closest friends again just a regular american girl. That situation I witnessed first hand and stepped between her boyfriend and her and ended up getting stabbed in the neck with his pencil for defending her. Why not save women in general?

Ian... you are wrong about the Quran, women are mentioned in there constantly. We have our own Chapter actually called The Women. Mary mother of Jesus also has her own chapter.
Sara- yes there is a part where you can "beat your wife" in the Quran. But it can't be with anything bigger than a toothbrush, can't cause her any harm by leaving a mark and can't be on her face. That is ONLY if it will prevent disobedience and prevent a divorce from happenening. The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said "The best of you (men) are the best to their wives."

Muslim faith the koran doesn't mention wives or women on the whole so the men go unchecked on their behaviour towards the women in general but that's not always the case battered wives happen in all walks of life in white families too in native American Indian families in all colour and creed really but the Muslim faith looks down on women and See's cattle are worth more than they are its actually the word of the prophet Mohammad which is really sad as the Muslim faith is the fastest growing religion on the planet at the moment i have a Muslim neighbour and asked him to convert the koran into English as he read it as i am interested in other cultures of the world and i couldn't believe that the religion said if they have a daughter instead of a son its god working against them and in Muslim countries the girls don't get education only the boys do the girls learn to read and write but that's all i was really shocked but saying that his wife seemed happy and they fell in love and got married so i know he would never hit her she would kill him if he did and the Muslim family next door to me make very good neighbours always help full always there if you need any thing so i cant believe its just Muslims who beat their spouses its a world wide problem i think there are aspects of the religion that need changing but you could say that about all religions that say kill the non believer or stone them to death remember what the jews did to christ and each other if the name of god was used in public if you want to go there what the Christians did to pagans in Britain then built all their places of worship on top of Pagan Alters the cult of Manson most religions are bathed in blood some way or other killing for power or killing through getting to heaven the Spanish Inquasition the K.K.K there is a lot of blood spilling in the world and you cant blame one faction look at history it has a way of repeating its self and women have the right to choose thier religion in America not like Pakistan or Afghanistan or most of the middle east so as I said before wife beating happens in all walks of life

Are you speaking of Muslim woman in the US? If so, then there are programs in place to help women. If not, then we need to get our own country in order first. We should want our higher up people to focus on our land that is why we are at war now and the people in America are lacking.

As stated, we need to focus on AMERICA and not other countries right now. Our women here are losing their husbands and children at war, why not focus on HOME and let some of these other countries fight their own battles for a change. We have our own issues that need to be solved FIRST and for MOST.

Oh, have no fear, If Hillary sees a voting block for her to chase she will be there to defend you, too ! Hillary doesn't miss a trick when it comes to collecting votes, and gender cohesiveness is her most divisive tactic !

How sincere is she ? Well, ask any of the woman who were victimized by that sleazy hill-billy she's married to, I'm sure they can attest to her real compassion for women !
