Let women carry small, concealable firearms, as have been readily available in the US for 150 years. Then rape would be largely self punishing.

Oh,does Islam offer only death to women who dare to defend themselves? Well, better to be condemned by a jury than carried by a pall bearer.

Ms. Amina is on the money in her rebuttal to Mujtaba Nasir asinine comment about women’s dress being the cause of the fairer sex getting raped. Mujtaba should focus on the way men in Islam have been treating their women with scorn and disdain in the Middle East and other Asian Islamic countries even those who are in burkas are not spared many have been subjected to rapes. He should look at the cases in Afghanistan where the tablibans have committed some of the most heinous crimes against women all in the name of Islam. That should teach the wannabe Arab Mujtaba a lesson on women in Islam.

Mujtaba seems that he just return from Saudi Arabia where women are not allowed to leave their home without being escorted by a male relative and they have to be covered in burka (this sends a clear message that men in Islamic countries cannot be trusted they are too leacherous and have only one thing on their minds). Well Nasir fail to see around him that he is living in Guyana where the Muslims are not Arabs and at no time in the history of Indo-Guyanese arrival in Guyana were the women ever wearing burkas. Mujtaba wake up and smell the coffee you are LIVING IN GUYANA, if you don’t like it then you can always move to Saudi Arabia.

Remind this misogynist of the case of Mukhtaran Bibi, the Pakistani woman who was sentenced to be publicly raped a few years ago, as punishment for her younger brother’s alleged affair with an older woman in their village.

Amina Chaudhury has written an excellent, factual and hard hitting comment on the plight of women.
The days when men subjugated women because men had the power to trash women are long gone and good riddance too!

In these modern days where brute force is no longer important, we can see that in nearly all fields (except where brute strength is required), women are generally superior to men.
Yet because of their innate compassion, women still allow men to rule the roost.
Or as the old saying goes..
Women allow men to THINK that the man rules the roost.

Discrimination against women exists even in the richer countries where women are not likely to get promotion beyond a certain grade of work.

It is good therefore to read Amina Chaudhury’s eloquent defence of the fairer sex.
