The New York Times wants to pretend that Islamic males are dandy fellas. Psst, forget the misogyny, ladies, really, don't think about that. The New York Times today reports this: "The Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Monday announced the arrest of two men who are accused of planning to derail a passenger train in an Al Qaeda-linked plot." The NYTimes says the Muslim men who blew the life and legs off Bostonians were mixed up boys not Muslim terrorists. The New York Times is a clear and present danger to your health and safety.

The recent shooting deaths in Pakistan of health workers (mostly women!) helping administer polio vaccines to children were "cruel, senseless and inexcusable," said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The death toll rose to nine after one succumbed to wounds from being shot in the head in the city of Peshawar. The gunmen on motorbikes who carried out the attacks remain unidentified, but Taliban militants in the country long have threatened anti-polio workers.

Every day, misogyny kills women around the globe in two ways: directly through violence and indirectly through apathy, said David A. Grimes, MD, clinical professor of ob-gyn at University School of Medicine in Chapel Hill, who delivered his lecture “Misogyny and Women’s Health” this spring at The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ 59th Annual Clinical Meeting. Let's stop here for a moment and understand who Dr. David Grimes is. He is a champion for women and has been a tireless worker for women's human rights.

It is a wonder to me that those who are working feverishly to promote an homage to Islam a heartbeat away from the site where gross mass murder was committed in the name of Islam have not worked nearly so hard to raise a ruckus to get the worldwide Islamic community to condemn some recent atrocities committed in the name if Islam: killing innocent UN workers because someone thousands of miles away burned a book; lashing a young girl to death for being raped; stoning a young couple to death for attempting to elope. Where is THAT beef?

Disclaimer: all religion sucks when it comes to treatment of women; religion (as written by males) gives women second class status as human beings. Fact, some cultures and the religions that fester/bloom in certain societies are far worse than others in the manner in which they treat women. This week TPM wrote on the bad bad of Islamophobia.

From the estimable Debra Saunders who SHOULD replace Dowdy Dowd at the worn out Times in a last ditch effort at salvation of the Gray Lady:

"There is no sense of proportion. The left portrays the religious right as extremists, if they oppose, say, abortion or same-sex marriage, while it ignores Islamic cultures' unequal and at times violent treatment of women and gays.?

This is one of the best grafs I've read in a month, nay year, about the sorry state of of the Democratic Party.

More from Saunders:

Glen Beck, Fox's counterpart to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, has the first amendment right to gather folks on the day and sight of Martin Luther King's glorious "I Have a Dream Speech," but...the hell he should Not!
Respect. Hello where is the respect?

The funny thing is...the Left while telling 70% of Americans they are bigots and racists and nasty unwashed people for not wanting Islamoland anywhere near the epicenter of a massive slaughter committed by lunatics in the name is Islam...the Left (in this instance NYTime's Windbag Bob Herbert) has this to say about Beck:

It is always great to know just exactly how beat a woman. And better yet, when the blow by blow comes from your spiritual guide you can be sure God is nodding that big fat male head of his in uproarious approval. Yeah, land a punch there! Yeeeeaaaah, Friday night Gut Punch the disobedient slut, whore, bitch, or broad. Click here here for a "how to" wife beating video courtesy of Murphy at Puma Pac.
