Just to correct a common fallacy. Not all muslims believe in opressing women as much as the Taliban did in Afghanistan. Iraq allowed women to show their faces and attend school, there was no rule that they couldn't. Out of the people I met it sounded just a little stricter than 1950's America. Women stay at home and take care of the family and men leave the house and work. And in Kuwait at the colleges women are pretty comfortable in Western styles and culture.

I'm pretty sure I have some pictures of educated Iraqi women dressed in western style clothing somewhere. She was a tour guide to the ruins of Babylon and a Professor in Archeology, which she earned during the decades of Saddams rule.[/b]
And isnt this one of the reasons why the extremists hate us so much? For these very reasons they commit terrorist acts in the name of Islam. The so-called western influence on thier culture. All good Muslims all over the middle east need to start making a VERY PUBLIC outcry denouncing and ridding themselves of these extremists. This has not been done yet. In my eyes this lack of protest is one root of the problem. Maybe its the liberal media's fault. Because all I see on the news after every attack anywhere is a bunch of Idiots shooting thier guns into the air saying "death to America", or "Death to Israel!" (do they ever stop to think that these bullets come back down?)

Not once do I see a rally condemning these acts.
