Its no point arguing, for since it is their blog they will say whatever they want and ignore everything else.  There are those who remain blind and deaf purposely and well some of these members are of those example.    First of all?  WHY WESTERN EUROPE HAS THE HIGHEST DIVORCE RATE?  oh yea.. the jews :)    WHY WESTERN WOMEN END UP BEING ABUSED THE MOST BY SPOUSES, according to stats?  Well, I guess alcohol plays a great part...but its the jews :)    LIKE ISLAM, WHY DO CHRISTIAN SOCIETIES HAVE PEOPLE EITHER MOLESTING OR ENGAGING IN SEXUAL ACTS AND EVEN MARRYING GIRLS OF YOUNGER AGE (THE MORMONS)?  Well, because there are creeps everywhere...no its the jews.      So my point. Its always better to look at one's flaws then look at flaws of other societies. In recent surveys, conducted by gallup and other renowned polls, middle eastern women are happy of their status....only your media is arrogant and ignorant and needs to look past the stereotypes of what you usually think of middle eastern countries. Instead of looking at AFGHANISTAN haha, look at other arab states. Even Pakistan had a female prime minister, who was assasinated due to her links with usa govt.    YES, MIDDLE EAST TODAY IS A MESS--AND ITS OUR FAULT and your's.  It's not our fault that jews were disliked by europeans so heavily that they had to be killed (i believe in the holocaust but not the number) and then be allowed a piece of land where muslims and CHRISTIANS resided in. I met an ecuadorian girl of palestinian and spanish descent in my class and she hated the jews for her grandmother, a christian in palestine, was forced out of her land.  LETS NOT FORGET EUROPEANS HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR OVER 2000 YEARS OVER THE MOST PETTIEST ISSUES? THEY DID START 2 WORLD WARS!   ONLY NOW, AFTER EUROPEAN UNION, THEY HAVE CALMED DOWN.  Why?  BECAUSE NATIONS AND THE CONCEPT OF NATION IS VERY NEW. MIDDLE EAST AND EUROPE NEVER HAD NATIONS BUT EMPIRES OF PEOPLE OF SAME IDEALS. SO TODAY MIDDLE EAST MUST UNITE TOO.
