Ok, so Islamist extremists have targeted female Tunisian Olympic athletes for behavior and dress unbecoming of Muslims. Radicals have called for the citizenship of Habiba Ghribi (pictured) to be stripped because her running gear was too revealing. That actually seems pretty tame as I'm sure they'd stone her if given half a chance.
Why no one ever speaks up against this wholly accepted behavior in a mainstream forum continues to baffle me. We're so afraid to judge, even when something is so clearly backwards and wrong. Of course, tolerance of others' religious beliefs is paramount to civil coexistence, but blindly accepting all facets of one religion, no matter how oppressive or barbaric, is naive.
So now, I judge:
Tunisian Islamist extremists: I can appreciate that your religion is very important to you, but how is it working out for you? How's your economy? How's your government? How's your space program? Not good? How's the quality of life over there? How's the infrastructure, still rubble? Maybe instead of hammering on this religion thing so hard, you take a look around and try some other things. Here's one idea, knock off all the holy war nonsense and pick up a broom. Your place is a mess.
