Liberal/conservative has nothing to do with this. It is a Human Rights issue that can and should be pursued at the highest levels… in Afghanistan, by our government. Realistically, we can keep pushing for change, but an entrenched religious excuse will be hard to overcome. We are hoping for common sense and human decency to prevail, but we’re dealing with a religious dogma centuries behind the civilized world.

Cao,

What the hell are you talking about? I am a progressive liberal and I know none of my fellow liberals feel the way you say they do. You have some very deep rooted problems. I would suggest that you seek professional help quickly.

This just ticks me off to no end, but I’m not sure what we can do about it at this point.

We went to Afghanistan to support Sharia law? Wow that’s a new one on me!

It’s typical of a liberal to equate marriage with a woman enslaving a man as a meal ticket…in order to support starving her and rape. Not much different than the dems who want to pass a “hate crimes bill” that protects pedophiles or a gay academic at Duke University molesting his adopted son and then attempting to sell pimp him out for sex.

It’s too bad that some people (libs in particular) don’t understand a loving relationship between a man and a woman not only protects children, but can be a beautiful thing.

It’s pigheadedness that would lead a man to believe that he would be justified in forcing himself on his wife; or starving her because she’s on her period or any number of other legitimate reasons to refuse him for sex. There doesn’t seem to be much love under Sharia law, particularly when one way to rescue a rape victim from dishonor is for the rapist to marry her.

The Koran teaches that women must be “available” to their husbands at any time, and must not deny him. The Koran also states that a woman’s testimony is 1/2 of a man, as women are not “thinkers,” but rather emotional beings, thus, their testimony being less reliable. Just more Sharia law, that’s all. Isn’t that why we went to Afghanistan in the first place?

If women don`t like their husbands and dont want to make them happy, then why should their husbands have to support them? They should go find some guy they like and make him your meal ticket and personal walking ATM machine. Sounds like the Afghans have more common sense than pussywhipped Americans! Such as Glenn Beck – a typical pussywhipped American mangina who admits he does whatever he is told by his wife.

But they are a supposed “Civil Rights” organization, who gave advice to Obama recently about how he should represent himself abroad regarding the closing of Gitmo.

That’s also interesting since they’re so concerned about “rendition” and “torture” outside of the United States.

Surely they could make a statement about the civil rights of women in Afghanistan since they’re so concerned about our image abroad.

“So where’s the ACLU”

ACLU = American Civil Liberties Union.

They do not operate in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan Legalizes Rape, Starvation of Women…

“President” Karzai of Afghanistan signed legislation that allows men there to starve their wives if they refuse to have sex with them. It’s an amendment to the law which gives husbands the right to force themselves on their wives if …
