Afghan Women against Sharia Law!

O.K. kids, time to stop with the playful kidding around for a bit. I got this comment direct from Afghanistan and I am pleased to learn there are groups like this springing up.

It's a comment on the piece I did last week on the Bedouin guy in Israel who had eight wives and 60 or 70 kids. (No one seems to know for sure!) Not everyone reads the comments section so I want to draw attention to this group here and urge you to support them in any way possible.

Muslims Against Sharia said...
Muslims Against Sharia condemn treatment of women by the State of Israel. Government-sanctioned polygamy is unbecoming of a country that claims to be the only true Democracy in the Middle East. We call on Israeli Knesset to immediately enact a law prohibiting married men to marry more women. No civilized society of the 21st century can permit this medieval practice. No civilized society treat its women as less than human beings.

You see? It's not just the Arab States that condone Sharia Law. I replied!

Thank you very much. I appreciate your comments and will pass them along as best I can.

I believe outside pressure can help people in situations such as yours and I will promote it any way I can.

Would you believe there were some very misguided politicians here in Ontario that actually toyed with the idea of introducing Sharia Law over here for Muslim women.

That is until the everyday people slapped them and brought them back to reality.

If you want to read more on the treatment of women in Arab society go to my book at www.God-101.com . The chapter on Islam addresses this and other issues that are keeping the Arabs culturally stuck in the twelfth century.

Here is the web site of "Reform Islam" which had the blog "Women against Sharia! Click H E R E

It's also nice to see that these ladies have a sense of humour. Any Muslim men that want to send a death threat can do so at the special e-mail address: die@reformislam.org

Also, here is a web site that accurately analyses events in the Middle East called The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) and can be found H E R E
