I agree 100 %.
In those countries all of the 'Code Pink' types would have been executed long ago. And how long do you think the likes of Rosie O'Donnald and her ilk would last over there?
Crazy, ain't it?

Your question is about an issue that's just one of about thousands that goes to show how our government is ripe with double standards. On one hand our leaders stand next to the leaders of Saudi Arabia and call them our eternal friends and an ally against terrorism and human rights abuses but on the other we ignore and turn a blind eye on their human rights abuses and support for terrorism. I don't like the crimes that Sadam did but if you were to analyze his economic policies they were more humane than that of current Saudi Arabia. Under Sadam women were encouraged and allowed high positions. The only reason why he looked really bad is because of the works of western propaganda machine. There are other governments with far more appaling human rights records than Sadam but the reason why they are not known to most Americans is because these governments are called friends by our country and therefore their human rights issues will be ignored.
These issues of double standards are not just rife among Democracts but with Repulicans alike. Also your assessment of Muslims is totally wrong. Not all Muslims are against womens rights. Turn on the telivision and maybe you will see someone called Banizir Bhutto

If you are going to tell people that a motion was passed in the house and senate, you can't blame anything on Democrats. They barely have a majority. That means that a majority of the Republicans also passed it. If indeed any such motion was passed. You didn't provide a link and I couldn't find one.

I support freedom of religion....
don't you ?
fyi- Women are not allowed to be leaders of Christian churches still. The bible states that women shouldn't be allowed to speak in church, and should walk several steps behind a man in public. Eve was made as a "help meet" for Adam... right ?... But we don't follow those literally do we ?...of course not. And not all muslims oppress their women. What your eluding to are cultural and religious differences between our country and other muslim countries... But in America, it doesn't matter what religion you are, you get the same rights man or woman.

Islam is no more "anti-women's rights" than Christianity or Judaism are. All three religions are based on the same text. Anyone who literally follows the Torah, the Bible, or the Quran may consider women to be the property of men, because that's what the Old Testament says. "...thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis 3:16). "[if a woman is not a virgin when married], then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die." (Deuteronomy 22:13-21) Or, faced with a lynch mob, the man who says, "Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you," after which the mob apparently gang-raped the concubine to death (Judges 19:16-30). And so on.
So progressives -- and therefore Democrats -- accept Muslims as people, worthy of respect and individual consideration until they've shown themselves to be peaceful or violent. Similarly, they accept Christians and Jews as people. All people are capable of violence, but most are peaceful.

they are idiots! Or are they? possibly they are picking and picking their battles. possibly the subsequent election they are going to help it at the same time as the generic public is a lot extra open in direction of gay marriage. though does no longer justify their movements because they ought to help abortion and gay marriage. keep in options there are some politicians who do help both one among those themes so that they don't seem all undesirable basically those who're gay yet hostile to gays. yet, compared to the position we were one hundred years in the past and the position we are now i ought to say we are making progression and in one hundred years abortion and gay marriage will be yestardays information. the picture of womans and African human beings proper to vote, to be dealt with both, to be heard turned right into a warm topic one hundred years in the past.

They support any idea, group, fringe group, or notion that goes against Republican thinking. This is why the Democrats support issuing licenses to illegal immigrants, banning Christian beliefs (but not Islamic beliefs), helping welfare bums who don't want to work etc.
Mind you, the Republicans do everything to support big business interests - even if ordinary citizens are hurt.

Unlike the other party the Democratic party is free and open to all. We don't discriminate based on silly perceptions that wind up being ridiculous.

it's not the Muslims, it's national self determination. what right has the US to dictate what culture, society, laws, customs or lifestyle people in Iraq, Iran or anywhere else choose? It's also about what right does Bush/Cheney have to spend our money and blood in that pursuit?
