Dispatch From the Religion of Peace

It is astounding to me that the left in this country continues to side with poor, oppressed Palestinians. Taking the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" to its ultimate, absurd conclusion, consider the people the left now side with:

Islamic extremists in the Gaza Strip have threatened to behead female news broadcasters if they don't adhere to the strict Islamic dress code and cover their faces. A group calling itself the "Righteous Swords of Islam," believed to have links to al Qaeda, accused the women of acting immorally. "It's indeed disgraceful that the women working for the official Palestinian media are competing with each other to display their charms," the group wrote in a leaflet. They threatened to kill the women for allegedly spreading corruption in Palestinian society.

I am waiting to hear protests from the women's movement. No? None? They go on:

"If necessary, we will behead and slaughter to preserve the spirit and morals of our people," it said. The group has previously claimed responsibility for bombing various Internet cafes in the Gaza Strip. It also claims to have thrown acid in the faces of unveiled women in Gaza.

Misogyny so deep, they are evidently proud of throwing acid at women's faces. Unbelievable. How can these people ever be expected to develop a civilized society when they are willing to devote this amount of energy to threatening, maiming, and killing half of their own population?
