One thing that stuns me to this day is radical Islam’s classic male insecurity about women. Yeah I know, they are big bad terrorists and are pyscho violent – but it is all so they can control women like property in the end (7 virgins, etc.). So when I see a story like this I cannot wonder why liberal women’s groups are seeing the greater evil and jumping to Bush’s side on ridding the world of societies which protect men who cannot handle women as their equals?

She was a pretty, sophisticated young TV star with the controversial, wildly popular channel broadcast in war-torn Afghanistan. Then her killing sent shockwaves through the media and across the world.

Shaima Rezayee, 24, an MTV-style veejay for Afghanistan’s popular independent Tolo TV channel, was slain in her home by a bullet at close range.

Rezayee had been the center of controversy in conservative circles in Afghanistan since she tossed aside her burqa and wore Western-style clothing on air, with a headscarf and a swath of her shiny, carefully styled black hair. She was fired as host of “Hop” on Tolo TV in March. The reasons given have ranged from tardiness to complaints from the public over her appearance and demeanor.

Conservative Islamists complained that “Hop” was corrupting Afghan youth. Moreover, Rezayee, who had worried about death threats publicly in a radio show just two months before her death, was criticized because of her controversial behavior, which included her burqa-less attire as well as her on-air banter with her male co-host.

Why aren’t Muslim men protecting their women, instead of being afriad of them?
