A human rights activist was interviewed, she described how the few Catholics left in Iraq were driven out of their country and had to take refuge in Kurd territory. Pope Benedict brought this to Dubya's attention when they met this past year, and only then did our forces provide some relief to the Catholic refugees.

From her remarks at an international conference held in Paris:

Earlier this year at the White House, I met with some Afghan women whose report has weighed on my mind ever since. These government officials and professional women told me that they live in daily fear that the Taliban’s violence will reverse Afghanistan’s progress toward freedom. Their message was that we must take advantage of this time, or as one woman put it: “This is our only chance.”

When the Taliban was driven from power in 2001, they left the Afghan people to build a society from nothing. Amid the wreckage of three decades of war, the people of Afghanistan remain determined. After only seven years, girls are participating in classrooms, new roads are being built, and women are assuming government leadership, including my host in Bamiyan, Afghanistan’s first female governor, Habiba Sarabi

In Bamiyan province, I saw how these new developments are offering Afghans hope. Yet many hurdles lie ahead, and my trip was a reminder of these, too. The new schools and roads I visited stood in the shadow of Bamiyan’s sandstone cliffs where the hollow caves are all that remain of Afghanistan’s ancient Buddhas, blown up by the Taliban in 2001.

Those scars in the cliffside are a remainder of the danger lurking in the Afghan hills. Female elected officials remain targets for attack. Women training to be police officers are afraid to tell their families. And teachers and students at new schools are faced with the violence that has devastated their country.

I've known about the women in africa who reach puberty and are forced down by family to have their clit cut off.. this is a common practice... I'm aware of the problems in India where women are married off with a dowry. The men marry the women for the dowry then when they are done with them, or pissed at them, they throw gasoline on them and set them ablaze.. often with the man's family's help.. and they go unprosecuted. this kind of stuff is nothing new- I’m one who’s been well aware of atrocities against females around the world, for many years.

Compared to the muslims I know, your friend sounds like maybe he's more of an extremist than you realize. The ones I know who were born in Iraq and Iran, are very amercianized and, well, civil great people. Kinda reminds me of other examples of the same type of problem.

Often when a 'lover' gets turned down or smth they attack the woman in this vicious way. One of the reasons is that battery-acid is very cheap to get. If women-rights groups would concentrate on stopping this kind of voilence iso flashier ones this problem would be much easier to deal with. In most countries with a muslim majority education for girls isn't seen as something 'vile' for example.

BTW, the murderer of that Polish girl was - according to the article - at one time a member of the Communist Party, which seems a bit difficult for a devout muslim. Guess he's just a SOB.

I wonder how those who committed this atrocity can consider themselves members of the human race. In so many societies around the world, to differing degrees (yes, even in this one as we clearly saw this election year, and as we constantly see in the violence continually perpetrated against women), we need to address why the idea of an educated, empowered woman is so intimidating as to inspire such violence. I am both depressed and mortified that this kind of hatred seems endemic. As Hillary said in Beijing, women’s rights are human rights.

We can't get fair treatment for women trying to break down barriers here so even the most profound statements addressing this on-going horror are probably futile. The fact that it's posted is bearing testament and hopefully enough to disconcert even the most misogynistic readers. Unfortunately, what is there to say?
