Strength

May 22

Honor and shame trump everything in that world. A pithy sentence, eh? So instead, think about what it would take for you to kill your own daughter with a knife, with your bare hands, because she was seen in the company of a man not her husband or a relative? Think about that. Think long and hard.
Moreover,
What would it take for you to murder your daughter with a knife, or a knotted cord – with your own two hands and against her pleading, her protestations, and her begging for her life? If your response wasn’t “there is nothing that could make me do that,” then stop reading right here and get the hell off my property.
From Bill Whittle's latest essay, Strength, (part 1). (part 2 is here.)

1 It is the women of Islam who must find sanity, and rebel against the oppressive culture that enslaves them, and kills their children. Find a way to rescue the women of Islam from their captivity of mind, body, and spirit. Everything else will follow.

2 Yes and no, Braddock. Ultimately any battle must be waged by the ones who are most affected by issues, but one of the founding principles of feminism was Sisterhood, the concept that women support one another and stand together in our common struggles. I find the silence from North American women's advocacy groups to be damning. They've lost the mission.
