I guess that girls were getting too smart and showing up these ignorant fools is the reason for this. I can't stand these ignorant Muslim men.

These militants are so sick that they don't know what to do with themselves. To deprive an esducation from these girls is just repulsive. They should blow themselves up so they can see Alla right away. The militants that is.

cub62 The problem is that when these guys go to see Allah (que joke re: 72 Virginians) they want to take you and me with them!

Seems to me the only way Islam can survive is to keep it's practitioners ignorant.

There should be a whole new set of psychology text books specifically written to explain the insecurity of men from Arabic cultures. It'd take at least 3 years for a college freshman to even evaluate the depths of it. Islamists are correct however: An educated Muslim woman is Islam's worst nightmare. When Muslim women are fully educated and liberated Arabic culture (and probably Islam in general) will disappear from the face of the Earth. Good riddance.

Has anyone else noticed the delicious irony of this story? On the day the Obama daughters begin attending their new school, an edict is announced by an Islamic "leader" regarding education for girls. Tell me again, what's wrong with America?

This too must be due to the "failed policies of the last 8 years"....don't worry, Barry will fix this too. :) I can't wait to see the reaction of the whiners in this country when they discover they're just as miserable with the new boss as they were with GWB.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
