Thank You Cristina Odone, For Speaking Up About The REAL War On Women

Enough, finally, does become enough.

A 20-year-old Afghan girl has been beheaded, by her in-laws, for refusing to become a prostitute. Her mother-in-law and and a hired man cut off Mah Gul's head in the province of Herat last week.

The horrific case has confirmed the plight of women and girls in Taliban-strongholds such as Herat: it comes in the wake of the Taliban's attack on 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai, who campaigned for girls' education in Pakistan.

 Ms. Odone then goes on to ask:

Surely, enough is enough? How many women martyrs do Muslim leaders need before they speak out against such misogyny?

What she fails to understand is the simple truth that Islam itself is the problem.  'Muslim leaders', who are the mullahs, have zero interest in speaking out against misogyny. It would be like Larry Flint preaching against porn, or SnoopDogg preaching against pot, or the Pope denouncing the Nicene Creed. Not even Saul of Tarsus, in his new role as Apostle Paul, rejected Judaism in his embrace of Christ.

What bothers OS is that our President, while yammering away about 'binders' and 'women's rights' ad nauseum, will stand up and tell the UN that he's down with Mohammed all the way, that he won't let anybody talk trash about The Prophet, US First Amendment be damned.
 
Miz Hillary, you got anything to say about this? You down with this, too? Does being Secretary of State trump everything?

We need people at every level of public life who will say the simple thing: These people are monsters, and we don't truck with them. At every opportunity given, we will oppose them with every means at our disposal. 

Obama will not do that. There is some basic conflict of interest inside his personality that will not allow him to state the obvious. This is not to say he is secretly Muslim--who knows, who can say? It it to say he is not the man for the job going forward.
