POPSAre You an Islamophobe? If you answered most or all of these affirmatively, you are a vile Islamophobe and deserve to be beheaded as the quran instructs. If you answered one third or more of them affirmatively, you are a borderline Islamophobe and need to receive brainwashing to become a full-fledged dhimmi.

POPSAsylum For Battered Women
Clip On made a comment about Liberals not defending those who would seek to oppress women so I found this clip interesting. Let me speak politics for a second. First of all, I'm not going to waste my time on those who just want to argue that their side is right vs. my side is wrong. We are in a world of shit with the economy and we all need to pull together. I love America and I want to see it do better. Many of those on the right would probably be surprised to know that I work with people who don't have the resources and I hate to say this, but I'm gonna, I basically babysit grown people. I STRESS personal responsibility, but I want to say here and now that personal responsibility is not the ONLY thing. Our society is full of complex problems. But I am confident we can pull together and solve them without constant partisan rhetoric and bickering. That solves nothing. I want to stress that I am DISGUSTED that the Obama administration policies does not involve women fleei

POPSwoman International woman's day 2009. What do we do when the scope of violence against women is so unimaginable, so extreme and enormous, that it is beyond our vision? Beyond our realm of thinking? How is it possible that we live in a world where one doctor has treated 25,000 victims of rape for mutilation and suffering? For those of us who are safe from the world of the Congo, who are unable to go there, to physically help the thousands of women who are victims of rape as a tactic of war, we read about it. We learn about it. We bear witness to it. So that we can help in other ways. So that we can stop it from ever happening in other places, in future wars. To make rape a tactic of war IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. ANYWHERE.

POPSDenmark to Ban Mutilation of Male Child Penis The usual whining victimhood cry anti-Semitism as if this intended ban was directed towards them alone. They conveniently forget that Muslims also practice this barbarity and there are far more Muslims in the EU. Even when they are not victims, they refuse to share their perception of victimhood with others. Interference with children's bodies in ANY circumstance must be banned in all cases. Sexual interference with children's bodies is just one small step onwards as is easily proven by the many REAL victims of these religious maniacs.

POPSPlastic Surgery Below the Belt "The medicalization of sex,"; the idea that there is a physical right and wrong when it comes to all things sexual. "Promoting a very narrow definition of what women's genitals ought to look like — even for those women who don't want surgery, it harms them." Broadly speaking, these surgeries may meet the World Health Organization's criteria for female genital mutilation as "procedures that intentionally alter or injure female genital organs for non-medical reasons." This kind of cosmetic surgery can interfere with advocates' ability to fight forced ritual mutilation in places like Africa. Designer vaginas "are considered reasons for not throwing stones, so to speak, at other cultures," she says. One of the most common reasons women cite in seeking the surgery, some doctors say, is a negative comment from a disgruntled sexual partner. The best way to start enjoying your body could be far simpler than surgery: "You may need a new boyfriend."

POPSTwo doctors in Saudi Arabia want to change cultural attitudes to female genital mutilation In Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Mali, for example, more than 80% of women have undergone FGM. Typically, the procedure is carried out by a Daya (an elderly female birth attendant) when a baby girl is a few days old, but it can be done at any time during childhood, adolescence, before marriage or during a first pregnancy. The scope of the operation – which is often carried out in non-sterile conditions using household implements – can vary considerably from removing the clitoris to cutting away all of the woman's external genitalia before stitching the wound back together leaving only a tiny hole for menstruation and urination." yes it still exists.

POPSObamas poor country formative education,blinkers OFF I recently heard Mick Dobson Aboriginal australian spokesman heartened by Obamas intention to embrace issues with the Indiginous Nations issues in USA.I hope like others that he is not blinkered to overseas exploitation of other indiginous cultures and walks the talk globally,, cherry picking will be the cowards way given his pride in statements that he grew up in the "poor" country till he was 10. That country has extremes between rich and poor and justice is often very expensive depending on colour and religion.Melanesians have no respect or rights and due to USA policy in cold war years had their self determination shredded by US and corrupt Sakano,s expansionist ambitions.
