Is The MSM Hiding Attacks On Women Journalists? »

* Bumped Up * Again? So it would seem. This time, it is in Palestine by Hamas Security officers. But I bet you haven’t heard a word about it, have you? Had it not been for Phyllis Chesler, I wouldn’t have known, either. In Chesler’s excellent post, “Arab Spring: Male-on-Female Atrocities In Gaza Disappeared By [...]

Is Nancy Pelosi For Real? »

Nancy Pelosi has come out with another whopper. Honestly, I just do not understand how this woman can be so clueless, but well, she is.

Some Celebration *Reprised* »

I wrote this two years ago after International Women’s Day (which was Tuesday, the 100th such celebration). I have written about women in Afghanistan recently, and this one also looks at women there, and other countries, as well. We are all connected, each and every one of us. As long as women and girls are [...]

Let’s Talk Taliban »

Particularly, about the Taliban in Afghanistan and how it treats women. Now, I realize this might just seem like an “out of the clear blue sky” kinda thing, but trust me when I tell you it is not. (Photo by Steve Evans) First, I should say that before the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, [...]

What Really Happened to Lara Logan, Who Wasn’t The Only One… »

More and more information is coming out about the treatment women reporters in Egypt have been enduring for some time now.

This Is What Sharia Law Looks Like »

I admit – I am procrastinating writing this story because it makes me want to throw up. It is disturbing to say the least, and I must thank SeriouslySickofObama, a faithful No Quarter reader, for making sure I saw it. It is not for the faint of heart. And no, I am not referring to [...]

Questions About Obama and The Muslim Brotherhood Lead To More Questions **UPDATED** »

UPDATE: Protesters called for huge numbers today for Friday prayers in an effort to oust Mubarrak. Once again, the numbers are below 250,000 (“tens of thousands”), just as they were for the “Million Man March” the other day. The Cairo Metropolitan area has over 22 MILLION people, and Egypt 85 MILLION people. Again, I have [...]
