Ultra-Orthodox jews ban women from driving

published by salaf on 19 October, 2005 - 22:44

I'd like to say that I didn't post this to have a go at the jews.

The point is to show the hypocracy with which the western media deals with muslims. There was outrage by many in the media when muslims in Canada proposed to introduce islamic family law. If a muslim community this size banned (verbally) women from driving there would be a campaign against them from the media.

Insurgents 'inside Iraqi police'

They call this news. I've known about this for ages. Only in the last week another journalist working for a US newspaper was "arrested" and killed after writing about infiltration.

It seems to me that al-Sadr is being used as a scapegoat by a number of parties.

He's called Iran's agent solely on the basis that he's a Shi'ite cleric and anti-American. Compare this to SCIRI and the current prime minister whose links to Iran are indisputable.

Satanic Verses

I'm slightly confused about the reason Ayatollah Khomeni issued his fatwa against Salman Rushdie.

From what I've heard the controversial issue of the Satanic Verses is that Rushdie slanders the Rasul (SAW)'s wives.

Don't the shi'ites do the same thing though?

Democratic fascism or Islamo-fascism ?

I'm sure you've heard the term "Islamofascism" in the media often used to describe muslims the media doesn't like.

Its often used by "neo-con" journalists like Melanie Phillips and Christopher Hitchens who also strongly support the war in Iraq.

Whats interesting is that one of the war's primary architects is himself highly supportive of fascism.

I find it useful to dig beneath the head lines in order to unearth this kind of hypocracy which is pretty widespread.
