- Go to I-F: Women in Islam…Part II
Just getting to read now after being absent for a couple of weeks. Perhaps incremental changes will lead to revolution, but I'm not holding my breath....Mal

A few run away girls certainly don't make a revolution
But what if all the Burkaed woman (and girls) came up from the underground all at once chanting, 'this is how you want us, this is how we are, but we won't put up with this anymore, no more no more no more!" The they would be surrounded by Taliban men brandishing guns, but could they shoot their own wifes and daughters? If they are human surely not! Then there would be so many burka clad women thousands and thousands of them that soon they would surround the men themselves, and a handful of the confused frightened men, would have the courage to try to escape. But before they could, they would be handed a burka and soon there would be a number of men under those burkas all chanting with the women. Then one of those men's magma would explode and he would rip off the burka screaming, 'I can't wear this thing any more! We can't do this to our women!' and everyone would pull off their burkas, women and men, dancing in the streets, hugging their wives and daughters, tears streaming down cheeks, 'I am so sorry for what you had to go through' would fly through the air. and the hard core Taliban guys would be left wondering what they had been going on about all this time! It could happen couldn't it?

There certainly isn't anything to laugh about in this post.

I am curious to see whether these runaways will translate into something bigger...I do believe that if it does not get under control then civilization will take a turn for the worse.

It is enough to get one started in my humble opinion! Shelly

I can see how easily you could get depressed with such stuff in our own
backyard. I remember reading stories as a kid about how some people ran around Germany before the war, warning, talking about the writing on the wall, they were ignored. I think you are understimating the time frame of the Islam terrorism arriving to the United States. I dont get depressed, I get energized to do whatever I can to spread the understanding of the love that is necessary to combat the hate. Gathering the people with some common sense left and putting our hands and heads together. That is the solution that is the salvation, of course with God's help. :)
