Actually, she's the Queen of Jordan and I follow her on YouTube all the time! She's great! As for articles like this: well, it's more of a woman's issue and what makes it interesting are the nutcakes who write the talkbacks---they're more fun than the Letters to the Editor!

israeli media reports news as fact, no matter what you think their agenda is. their agenda is not to bash arabs or islam. their agenda, as a free democratic country, is to report the news as they are a reality on the ground in arab land. it is not only israeli newspapers that report these things muslims do in their countries. many many non jewish papers report human rights violations in arab world against citizens and especially women. even human rights watch and the un report it on a constant basis. on the other hand, you say that israelis have an agenda to demonize the arab world. HAVE YOU READ ARAB NEWSPAPERS, WATCHEDE MEMRI VIDEOS FROM ARAB LANDS, WATCHED HAMAS AND PLO TV, READ ARAB PAPERS IN THE GOLF AND IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF ISRAEL, listened to fatwas and mosque sermons in all arab lands seen cartoons depicting jews and israel in arab papers, looked at arab history texts related to jews and israel???? do you know what you find in the above. go ahead and see them all. you'll be shocked. the best sellers in arab world is mein kamf and the elders of zion. does that tell you anything about you complaining that jews want to demonize arabs???? go ahead and see all the above. it is frightening!!!! hameed aboughaze iranian
33. 29 Irmo: Israel has won many impossible wars and battles,

but departure from the commandments of God will be catastrophic, even for Israel. Isaiah the Prophet describes the reasons for the coming attack on Jerusalem that will leave the mighty men of Israel dead and the women bald and ravished (nuclear event and invasion). The reasons are flaunting of sodomy, cheating the poor, and WOMEN WITH WANTON EYES. Why do the women have wanton eyes? They are not happy with their godly traditional roles as women and want to be fornicators and seducers. Does wearing pants have a hand in that? Maybe so. You think not. I see cultures declining in music and in apparel and in other ways where you see no danger. Will men be beaten for cross dressing in burqas? If they get caught, they will. Just as women who wear pants in some cultures are beaten. Geez. I was beaten for not washing dishes fast enough and every other pretext my epileptic psychotic mother could think of to vent her jealousy of me. Was that fair? She thought it was and I did not. God punished her with insomnia. I have no problem sleeping. The Bible says for the wicked there is no rest. My mother was wicked toward me and she had no rest and it is unlikely she entered God's rest after she died. She liked to wear pants and that made her vicious instead of humble and kind to her husband and to me.

The BS you peddle sometimes boggles the mind. It may be nice that Muslims don’t believe in abortion, but they seem to have no problem killing adults in the name of God. The logic that God appreciates anything pertaining to that subject escapes me. Do you really think that God sits around, gets bent out of shape and plots dire consequences based on who wears what? Should I remind you that, according to the myth in which you believe, Adam and Eve were roaming around the Garden of Eden wearing nary a stitch of anything? According to that same myth, God didn’t tell them to wear fig leaves. That was their own idea and I‘ve never read one word about God having a hissy fit one way or the other as respects that particular fashion statement. I don’t know about anybody else’s fig trees, but looking at the one in my yard, none of its leaves are inscribed “Hers” and “His,” leading one to conclude that it made no difference who wore which leaf. As for aspiring to be the reflection of a husband and remembering some of your previous tb’s, that doesn’t always work out so well, does it? Maybe all of your bible thumping is a desperate attempt to justify living your life as a reflection of a husband whom you no longer even like. I think of myself as created in the female and equal aspect of God’s image and I would consider living my life as nothing more than the reflection of another human being a giant cop-out and an inexcusable waste with which God wouldn‘t let me get away. I’d venture to guess, too, that God is more pleased with the goodness and kindness of natives running naked through some jungle than with a whole lot of whatever-thumpers put together. And if God hadn't meant for me to wear shorts and tank tops, it wouldn’t be hot as hell out there!!!!

Bravo! On any number of levels. Women like you made it possible for women like me (I'm about three-quarters of a generation behind you) to get equal pay for equal work; protection against quid pro quo and hostile environment sexual harassment; and any number of social inequities redressed. You are the generation that paved the way for the benefits and equality which I enjoy. Madame ..... I thank you. Sarah P.S. The floggers? Why, they are probably men wearing long skirts.
