In my latest post to the Louisiana Conservative I ask NOW a few pertinent questions about their lack of interest in the bestial way women are treated in Islam:
Dear NOW,
I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me. I was just perusing your web site and I saw that you take a stance on many issues, from teen contraception to endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. I see that you’re calling for an end to the war in Iraq. I see that you endorse minimum wage and Roe vs. Wade. It looks to me that you champion women’s rights related to a variety of issues. That being said I have some questions:
I was just wondering why I don’t see you saying anything at all about the women of Islam. I guess that the only assumption would be that you don’t know they can’t vote. And, did you know that in many places they can’t own property? Did you know they can’t drive? Did you know that they themselves are little more than property in many cases?
Did you know that under the much touted Sharia law the woman has virtually no rights, not even to leave the house without being covered from head to toe and looking through a slit in a hood, a little like a cross between Cousin It and the Black Knight from Monty Python?
Did you know that punitive or revenge gang rapes are common, or that in Palestine right now if a man isn’t with the Hamas program his wife is stripped naked and forced to walk through the public streets to humiliate him. Not her. Him.
I give several more examples of the single minded misogynistic brutality women face every day in the Islamic world such as beatings and stoning, and the general degradation they're faced with, then I end up with this:
I haven’t heard one single peep from you on this stuff. What ever happened to “I am woman, hear me roar!” I’m not even hearing you squeak on this subject, much less roar.
Can it be that you save all your roaring for safer targets, like the white male majority of this country? They aren’t likely to call you racists or bigots if you speak out on behalf of their women, are they? They’re safe. Terrorists like to call targets that can’t or won’t fight back “soft targets.” Is the American male a soft target for you? Is Islam and its misogynistic, brutal treatment of its women too big and scary of a target?
Just asking.
Think anyone will answer me?

By the way, Jeff Blanco just put up this site and he’s still working on it. It’s new, with not as many bells and whistles yet as some of the more developed sites. It’s gonna get better.
