"....You don't believe that there are any problems with the rights of women in this region? You think it's ok that a girl was forced to marry her rapist in Morrocco, that 12 year olds are dying from child birth in Yemen, that a woman was imprisoned for driving and little girls burned to death in Saudi, and women are forced into virginity tests in Egypt....."
Lets talk with facts:
===========
- Women have more rights in this region (GCC countries) than most parts of the world including india from where i belong
- Women in middle east are much more safe than any other country (including US & UK)
- Countries topping in crimes of rape against women: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#UN_Statistics
- In the west women can legally become a PORN star and it will be considered as a profession while women like mona will never utter a word against these kind of people who are insult to womanhood but she has all the time in the world to attack islam and modestly dressed muslim women
She gave some isolated instances of atrocities against women in yemen, saudi etc.- the point is just check the statistics of rape across the globe; check the stats for US which has one of the highest rates of rape and compare to middle-east. Now if you go and read about each women who were raped in US their story will be equally disturbing as compared to the stories related to atrocities against women in middle-east.
However opportunists (like mona) aim is not to stop atrocities against women; their aim is to tarnish islam and muslims and islamic civilization and culture which will give people like her the exposure, coverage, name and fame which she can't if she raises the concern about high rate of crime against women in US OR the issue of US Soldiers raping women in IRAQ & Afghanistan etc.
