In today’s news, a Muslim fundamentalist from Dubai stopped lifeguards from saving a young girl from drowning. His name is Colonel Ahmed Burqibah and he's the chief of police in the area. In his view, it was better that she died rather than be touched by the male lifeguards and dishonored. He did this because of his religious beliefs.
How do you react?
[b]A. [/b]Condemn the atrocious behaviour of the father whose patriarchal religious beliefs caused him to allow his innocent daughter to die.
[i]Warning: You will be criticizing Islam and a person of color for the sake of a woman.[/i]
[b]B. [/b]Praise the father for staying true to his beliefs and his culture.
[i]Warning: You will be undermining the life of a woman even though feminism is supposed to be about empowerment.[/i]
[b]C. [/b]Remain completely silent about the issue and ignore it completely because the rules of social justice and political correctness conflict with themselves in here as they do in almost all situations.
Hint: If you are a feminist, you will pick C because you are a ridiculous caricature of a human being.

Save the life. I consider myself a feminist. By that I mean an egalitarian. But this isn't about that. Stuff like this turns me into an angry anti-theist. Culture and religion aside, SAVE THE LIFE.
