Puzzling

I have asked this before, but where is the outrage from Western feminists at Sharia law? I would think that anyone who believes that women are equal to men would be beyond enraged by any attempt to spread or even continue Sharia law anywhere in the world. Why is it that so many are silently accepting this?

More puzzling, why is it that when real feminists like Michele Malkin and Laura Ingraham criticize Sharia law, they are criticized as racists, crusaders, bigots, worse?

I believe in religious tolerance... to a point. I think most people agree with me. But there has to be an ultimate standard of what is and is not acceptable. Religion can not be a license for cruelty, crime, or intimidation. Religions that do not hold people equal to each other are not acceptable. Religions that advocate violence are unacceptable. Religions that persecute others are unacceptable. I'm not talking about putting all religions on trial for all crimes since inception, but I do think that we as humans need to stand against and, if necessary, fight against religions that are hurting people today, and I mean really hurting people. It is not hurting anyone to say that homosexuality is wrong, for example. You may not like that sentiment, but how are you really hurt? I have told you how I FEEL, I have not FORCED anything on you. However, if I demand that my wife mask her identity from the world, I have crossed a line. I have forced an equal to my will and I have denied her a basic right, identity.

So all you left wingers... do you believe in freedom for all? Are you unwilling to criticize Sharia because you think that cultural values trump supposedly universal human rights? What do you really believe? You must choose, for if you silently consent to the horror of Sharia law, you are just as bad as those who practice it. But if you believe in freedom and equality, you have an obligation to speak up for those who are denied it. If you spent half the effort trying to end the barbaric treatment of women at the hand of Sharia adherents that you did trying to make gay couples use the same institutions as straight couples do, perhaps the world would be a better place. I will always speak against Sharia. Why don't you join me?
