WE NEED A SEXUAL REVOLUTION IN ISLAM

Good luck with that. Just ask Seryan Ates, female Islamic crusader for the rights of women.

From Classical Values:

Ms. Ates was forced to abandon her legal career in Germany out of fear for her life. What bothers me more than that was to read that when she was attacked in public, the "good Germans" neaby did nothing to help her:

While defending Muslim women for the last two decades, she's been insulted and threatened by her clients' husbands and relatives. She was always able to brush it off, until last year.

As she was about to enter a Berlin courtroom with a client filing for divorce, the husband assaulted the two women. The man called the lawyer a whore, shouting, "What ideas have you put in my wife's head?" Ates says.

None of the many onlookers offered to help the women.

Ates says that brazen incident in public, at a time when she sees increasing Islamization in Europe, convinced her she had to shut down her practice. As a single mother, she says, her life and that of her young daughter have priority.

The 'Multicultural Mistake'

Ates blames the rise of political Islam in Europe in great part on what she calls excessive tolerance, both by the left and the right, of repressive traditions of minority cultures -- and a widespread unwillingness to integrate immigrants into mainstream society. She calls it the "Multicultural Mistake," also the title of her recently published book.

Forced marriages, she says, are locking up German-born Muslims in separate Islamic enclaves.

There are tens of thousands of women so isolated from German society that they're unable even to call an ambulance.

It's refreshing to see that NPR reported this, as it's become a serious problem in Europe, and one which needs to be nipped in the bud before it becomes that way here.

I admire this woman's feistiness, and I hardly need to point out that it takes a lot more bravery to write a book titled "Islam Needs a Sexual Revolution" than it would to write one titled "Christianity Needs a Sexual Revolution." What galls me is that in the West, publishers and bookstores would eat up the latter (while heaping praises on the author for "courage"), but the former would be shunned -- by cowardly publishers, and most likely be condemned for hurting the religious sensibilities of Muslims.

When a tyrannical, murderously-sexist ideology is allowed to dictate terms in this way, it's time to ask what has happened to the West?
