Denis Prager today (talk radio KRLA 870 am, 9-12noon) developed a stream of thought that was both beautiful and tragic. It was beautiful because he employed logic in a simple but powerful way. It was tragic because I fear it is completely true.

Why did the world protest the policy of Apartheid in South Africa, but the same world says absolutely NOTHING about the brutal way women are treated in Muslim cultures? This is in no way to defend Apartheid, but the blacks under Apartheid could drive cars, eat at restaurants, go shopping, go to school, and generally participate in public life. To be sure, the blacks could not do those things in white public areas. And so, the world’s outcry was justifiable. However, women under Islam cannot drive cars, they can only eat in areas “for women” in public restaurants (if they can eat in them at all), they cannot go shopping alone, or in some cases only with a male chaperon, most do not get to go to school, or generally participate in public life. Worse, they are forcibly raped by their own relatives, many of them are forced into lives of servitude, and in general treated like sub-humans.

All that and the feminists here in the U.S. are dead silent. Amnesty International doesn’t make a peep in these women’s behalf. The U.N. does not one thing to speak out against this atrocity.

Why do you think that is? Does it matter?
