In case you're unsure why the Islamists are so bad. . .
You should take a deep breath, prepare yourself, then read this:
Of 1,554 women and girls over 10 years old interviewed by WADI’s local medical team, 907, or more than 60 percent, said they had had the operation [FEMALE CIRCUMCISION]. The practice is known to exist throughout the Middle East, particularly in northern Saudi Arabia, southern Jordan, and Iraq. There is also circumstantial evidence to suggest it is present in Syria, western Iran, and southern Turkey.
It amazes me that groups like the National Organization for Women are against the war in Iraq. In the world the Islamists want, women are little more than chattle, subjected to every sadistic whim of their male "owners", forced into the burka and given no chance to advance their place in the world.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have quite literally "freed" millions upon millions of women who have long been denied education, personal freedom and even the most basic of human rights. Yet groups supposedly supportive of women's rights and women in general, call for an end to the war and neglect to recognize that George W. Bush has given more women the franchise, and therefore the right and ability to control their own destinies, than any other figure in history. You'd think that that would be something the NOW would be pleased about, ironically, they don't even acknowledge it.
It's long time that the hypocrisy end. It's time that those groups on the left that constantly harp that this war was "all about WMD", WAKE UP and realize what we are really fighting over there. We're fighting groups of people with a warped world view, one that would roll back the freedoms of women worldwide and reduce them from human beings to property.

PS - If you're looking for a gift to give that certain someone in your circle of friends who still doesn't understand what we're really fighting against, consider this:
