[quote]Egypt's ruling Muslim Brotherhood warns that a U.N. declaration on women's rights could destroy society by allowing a woman to travel, work and use contraception without her husband's approval and letting her control family spending
The Islamist party of President Mohamed Mursi outlined 10 reasons why Muslim countries should "reject and condemn" the declaration, which the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women is racing to negotiate a consensus deal on by Friday.
The Muslim Brotherhood said the declaration would give "wives full rights to file legal complaints against husbands accusing them of -blam!- or sexual harassment, obliging competent authorities to deal husbands punishments similar to those prescribed for -blam!- or sexually harassing a stranger."[/quote]
Thoughts? My thoughts are simple why are some places in the world so ass backward?

Before everyone starts pointing fingers at Islam as a religion, let's look back at the middle ages.

They forgot earthquakes.

Great. We've gifted F-16's to people who want to operate and treat half of their own population like it is still the middle ages and publicly/officially state that anyone of a different faith have devolved to the level of apes and pigs and should be treated as such. Yet they demand that we respect their ability to "maintain and preserve our own culture".

Ah Islam. The so called religion of peace and equality.

Why do people hate America when other countries are way more ignorant?
-
It's culture. Men and women are very different, and different cultures approach that fact in different ways. Sometimes, that culture's true motives can be corrupted. Being raised without any rights by the right people can actually make you grow up to be a very good person, but it's hardly worth it because this usually ends up being the final outcome.

Good lord i hate people like that.

It's amazing how prejudice Americans are to Muslims. Anyways, we had no women's rights here in the US and nobody cared except the women. They only got the right to vote and all that other stuff because the government was tired of their protesting.
-
Once the Middle East can keep religion out of its governing, I think it might truly be able to turn itself around.
-
So they would rather lock up women for being ra/pe victims but not lock up the rapist? Go Egypt -.-
