It's heart breaking to read reports like this. Such stories abound in many Third World countries. For example Bosco's good mates in Saudi Arabia operate some of the world's worst anti-women laws, as well as being one of the world's worst human rights abusers. The Saudis enforce their anti-women laws rigidly and strictly without a peep of dissent from Bosco.

So I wonder why this particular harrowing tale appeals to Bosco so much that he chose to post it here. Bosco has never shown any interest in furthering the status of women in the West. But when a Muslim country is involved he suddenly morphs into a militant feminist.

So is this a case of Bosco's inner feminist asserting itself, or is it a case of Bosco cynically exploiting the appalling position of women in Afghanistan to promote his rampant Islamophobia? You choose ...

It was Bosco who chose to politicise this appalling story when he put "Muslim Cult Law 101" at the head of his post. Muslim-bashing is the take on this awful story Bosco wants to promote, not the repulsive abuse she has been subjected to.

Bosco chose not to add any further comment of his own, apparently content to copy and paste the story verbatim from its source. The only comment he saw fit to add was to emphasis the Muslim aspect of the story, not the horrible circumstances the girl faced. The absence of any personal comment makes it difficult to avoid concluding that his primary motivation was Islam- and Taliban-bashing.

Bosco's posting history on women's issues is so woeful that I cannot recall a single instance of him being on the right side in any discussion of women's issues in the West. Put very simply. Bosco has zero credibility on womens issues. Adding those two facts together points directly to the conclusion that Bosco is cynically using this awful story as a weapon to advance his own political stance and bigotry. Unless he can supply a convincing explanation of why he chooses to oppose or ignore women's issues in the West but get all hot and bothered as soon as a Muslim angle is included, I see no reason why anyone should accept his sincerity on this matter.

The circumstances this poor girl has been forced to endure are harrowing, appalling. But for some Westerner to cynically use her rape and abuse as a vehicle to promote his own bigotry is contemptible. utterly indefensible.

have to do with the topic?
Ive been told more than once by many people to butt out of the US business, but now I should be more concerned about an issue that is world wide

but what have you done about the problem of child brides? child abuse? and murder in your own country? beyond insist its a mooselamb only problem?
and blame, deny and deflect.

What human rights groups do you belong to???
WHat anti child abuse groups do you get involved with.
If you are just bitching and making it a single religions ugliness, you are part of the problem.
