Your bias against islam is showing

Reader comment on item: A Pakistani Pater Familias
in response to reader comment: A religious crime?

Mr.Mandelblum,

You said:
In fact, if there's a religion (that is, if such can be called a religion) that despises women is precisely Islam.To Islam women are chattel and worth less than their father or husband's donkey.

Islam IS a religion.please note that.

I am a woman and islam has given me so many rights. its men who despise me, not islam.Not only muslim men ,but most others ,dont give women equal rights.

Now regarding Mr. Pipes story. This is not a religious crime. Islam does not ask men to murder their family for any reason. this is cultural crime and if there were any law and order in that country, these crimes would be diminished.
