Photo: sexual discrimination rears its ugly head
In my article Muslim Lies I laughed at the absurd statement of Amr Khaled, a Muslim televangelist in the UK, who wrote: "In Islam, women are equal to men in all senses, in front of God and the law." (1)
Of course, anyone who reads blogs other than The Daily Kos knows that women under Islamic law only have half the equality of men. A women who is raped needs 8 female witnesses to 4 male witnesses.
A reader left a comment calling me "a biased fool." Perhaps he's right; perhaps I have overlooked discrimination of women in my own backyard. So I searched the Internet to see if there are public places in America, infidel places, that do indeed treat women differently than men. What is more non-Muslim than a pub, I thought to myself; what I found was quite disturbing:
Sexual discrimination in America; will it never end?

There are a number of Bar Supply companies that sell the sign, further promoting this disgusting treatment of women. Sadly, I do not make a commission mentioning them.

In Islam, women are equal to men in all senses, in front of God and the law. It was Prophet Muhammad who taught the world, fourteen centuries ago, that ‘all people are equal like the tooth of the comb’. The difference between the ‘Islamic’ and ‘western’ male-female equality is a difference of culture, even though it is often misunderstood to be a difference in principles and rights. One example: Muslim women view modesty and respect in terms of a certain style of dress. This specific style is not a sort of discrimination against Muslim women, but rather a view of a common human and universal value, which is modesty, in their own way.
