Or one could see what happened in Tahrir, Koln, Milan. Or the fact that some imams in my country call out unveiled women as prostitutes.

There are issues with women rights in many country. Blaming the west is a way to ignore them.

I didn't blame the west, I said they play a role. I realize there were a lot of issues before the US become a world leader and even before the British/French colonization.

I will say it in a different way, WE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY, but you are too blind not to realize that by yourself.

I do know who is my enemy and who is not. I have lots of friends coming from these countries. Been there with them. They do not speak like you.

The enemies are roughly Salafia and Ikhwan. They are the ones with the hateful retoric. And they have a huge following.

> They do not speak like you.

Does this automatically make what I said incorrect?

[rastignack]

Yes it does. Not all critics of the situation of women in the so-called Arab Muslim world are uninformed.

This bad situation also predates western imperialism or Pax Americana.
