Hillary Clinton Is AWOL When It Comes To The Real War On Women

I keep hearing about this so-called war on women and that Republicans are behind it. This platitude always seems to revolve around abortion, government funded contraceptives, and anything that relates to a woman's body and her reproductive decisions. Pseudo-feminist politicians like Hillary Clinton also love to talk about glass ceilings, maternity leave, and equal pay for women.

But when it comes to things like women being beheaded, being stoned to death, having acid thrown in their face, having their noses and ears cut off, being raped at will, and otherwise being treated like a subhuman chattel ... well we don't seem to hear a whole lot from feminist Hillary.

The results of an honor attack
So let's talk about a real war on women. The one that is raging throughout the world but is completely ignored by female politicians like Hillary Clinton. The one that doesn't seem to exist for H while she professes to give two hoots about women's rights and says that she's all about you ladies.

I'm talking about the Islamic war on women, a real war that Hillary Clinton tacitly embraces.

As highlighted on Hillary's  campaign website,  one of her biggest "accomplishments" is support for the UN women’s conference in Bejing in 1995 and the ideals it represented. At that conference, Hillary declared with much righteous indignation that,   “Women’s rights are human rights.”

Oh that Hillary. She can sure talk that woman power talk when it (pants) suits her.

The Taliban executes a woman for alleged infidelity
The speech she gave is now one of the focal points of her campaign as we plainly saw when Morgan Freeman introduced Hillary at the Democratic Convention. You would think from listening to the speech that Hillary believes that women are entitled to  the same rights and dignity as men.

But as we constantly read about the appalling misery of women in the Islamic world, where is feminist Hillary? Don't Islamic women have human rights? Don't they deserve equal dignity as men?

Apparently not in Hillary's world. Not when it may be viewed as politically dangerous to even come close to denouncing anything Islamic. That would be viewed as Islamaphobic by the superficial, hypocritical liberals that she courts.


Before we delve into things like murder, rape, and other real atrocities perpetrated upon women under the guise of Islam, let's look at how women in Islamic countries fare when it comes to the things that seem to matter to Hillary.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is quietly steering Turkey towards an Islamic state, recently spoke at a women's conference in Istanbul. While there, he shared his government's views on women and where they stood. He said that there is an unfortunate reality - women are not equal to men. Thus, he said, women cannot be treated as equal to men. “You cannot put women and men on an equal footing,” he told the group. “It is against nature. In the workplace, you cannot treat a man and a pregnant woman in the same way.”

He wasn't finished. According to Erdogan, women cannot do all the work done by men because it was against their “delicate nature”. Last but not least, he said, “Our religion regards motherhood very highly. Feminists don’t understand that, they reject motherhood. Women needed equal respect rather than equality."

OK, glass ceiling Hillary. You who claims to fight for women's equality in the workplace, how did you respond to Erdogan's interpretation of Islam and his vision of women and how they should be treated in Turkey?

Not a peep.

Another honor attack with acid
And where is your outrage when you see women with acid scars on their faces from honor attacks? What did you say about the gang rapes of women in Cologne, Germany on New Year's Eve by packs of Islamic men? Or Afghan girls that are prevented from going to school? Or women routinely stoned to death for adultery? Or women beaten for showing an ankle, wearing high-heeled shoes, or looking too "Western"?

What about women who can't leave their homes unless they're accompanied by a male relative? Or women who are denied medical care because the only doctors are men?

C'mon, Hillary. The silence is deafening.

Where are you as the Taliban wreaks havoc on little girls for simply wanting to go to school? Where's your condemnation of the United Arab Emirates where husbands have the right to beat their wives in order to discipline them, provided of course that the beatings are not so severe as to damage their bones or deform their body?

Doesn't it bother you that in Saudi Arabia, women can't vote, drive, show their faces, or talk with male non-relatives in public?

My bad. You wouldn't dare say anything negative about the Saudis. Not when they've given your campaign and the Clinton Foundation tens of millions of dollars so far. I'm sure there's a lot more where that came from and you certainly don't want to look that big ol' gift horse in the mouth. What's a few beheadings, stoning, honor attacks, rapes, and dashes of degradation among friends, right?


Ok, so Saudi girls can go to school, and many even pursue higher eduction in college. But how would you like it if Chelsea had gone to a university here in the States where she was forced to sit in segregated rooms to watch her professors on closed-circuit TVs?  Meanwhile, male students would sit in the classroom with the professors? If she had had a question, she would have had to push a button on her desk so a light would come on at the professor's podium. The question might or might not have been answered. After all, how relevant could a question be from a silly woman?

You wouldn't have liked it very much, would you H?

And goodness gracious, if Chelsea had been in a Saudi university, you sure would have wanted her to properly cover up at all times, even in the face of a fire within her school building. If she had dared run out to avoid the fire without being properly covered up, members of the "Commission for the Promotion of Virtue" would have pushed her back into the burning building like they did to schoolgirls in Mecca. Fifteen girls were burned alive that day after they were made to go back in to the building.


Now that I think about it, I also don't remember hearing much from you, Hillary, when a Muslim court sentenced a woman to death by stoning for having a child outside of marriage. Maybe it's because you've become desensitized to the practice of stoning women to death, seeing as how it's a common thing in the Islamic world.

And then there's honor killings. In September, an Iranian man claimed to be defending his honor, family, and dignity and beheaded his seven year old daughter because he suspected that she had been raped by her uncle. Turns out she was a virgin.

Three women are beheaded for alleged infidelity
A Yemeni killed his daughter on her wedding night. Her husband accused her of not being a virgin but a post mortem medical exam proved he was wrong. It turns out he he was simply trying to protect himself from embarrassment about his impotence. 

According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, two women are murdered every day by male relatives seeking to avenge the family honor.

The savage nature of the murders is beyond belief. Two Pakistani sisters had their throats slit by their brother and cousin because the girls were seen talking to two boys. 

An Egyptian woman fell in love and eloped. When she returned home and sought to reconcile with her father he cut off her head and paraded it down the street. 

The husband of a 32-year-old pregnant Pakistani woman had her eyes gouged out, her earlobe sliced off, and her nose cut off by her husband because he suspected her of having an affair.

I'm still waiting to hear you roar, Hillary but I don't even hear a meow.

And I won't. That's because you're a sanctimonious, hypocritical so-called feminist. You are the typical leftist who views America as the Great Evil and white Christian men as your most dangerous enemies. All the while, you remain silent in the face of the true assault on women and women's basic human rights.

You criticize Christianity and Judaism but you're  strangely reluctant to oppose the barbarism of how Islam is being interpreted. To you, calling out the barbarities under the pretense of Islam would be “racist.”

Here's a thought, Hillary. Religion is a belief, an ideology, something you choose to adopt and interpret any way you wish. It's not not a skin color or a race. Consequently, it's not "racist" to speak out against religious practices, customs, or traditions that are barbaric.

But you're so wrapped up in the faux concept of racism that you ignore the thing that you say you hate the most - sexism. You're also much more concerned with what you say is Western imperialism, colonialism and capitalism than Islamic imperialism. Guess what? Islam has a much worse history of imperialism, colonialism, anti-black racism, homophobic hatred, slavery, forced conversion, and gender/religious apartheid than the West could ever dream of having.

But still you shirk from speaking out. Why? Because you would be viewed as politically incorrect, demonized, and then shunned by supercilious liberals for calling out the way Islam is practiced in many countries throughout the world. So, you avert your eyes from the harsh, blatant oppression of millions of women.

The ironic thing is, Hillary, it doesn't have to be that way. It isn't Islam that murders, rapes, tortures, or demeans women. It's an interpretation of Islam that leads to such things. Islam can be practiced in a peaceful, humane fashion that doesn't relegate women to a status below livestock as practiced by many Muslims. But it's obviously not practiced that way by all Muslims, who choose to act in  heinous, barbaric, intolerant, dehumanizing ways.


I saw your tweet from 2015 the other day (above). You're absolutely right, Hillary. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Only the ones who follow a radicalized, perverted interpretation of Islam.

By the same token, not all Muslims subscribe to the atrocious, abusive  treatment of women described above. You could very easily make that distinction and call out the barbarism for what it is. But you don't.  You won't draw that distinction. Your cowardice prevents you from calling the proverbial spade a spade.

That makes you a hypocrite, Hillary. A convenient, cowardly, hypocritical, phony. So pardon me if I don't buy into your version of women's power and all this glass ceiling crap. You don't give a rat's behind about women. The only person you've ever cared about is you.

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

Period.
