Its just so....foreign. I think our openess is part of what makes us feel safe in the States and with these folks it seems to be the opposite. I've got daughters and it is just so offensive to my sense of fairness that sex be the criteria which determines what you get to be or do... I've long been an advocate of open borders and believe our culture can absorb any group but this is so... dare I say un-American? Its very disturbing since the WASP crowd thought the same thing about my ancestors.

We live in an area that has a very large Arab immigrant population. One time a woman came into Jenni's store wearing a scarf over her face. Jenni apparently had a hard time understanding her or something, 'cause the woman pulled the scarf away from her face and said something to the effect of "my husband would kill me if he knew I took this off, but I hate it so much."

I hope she was only joking about that first part there.

There is a national geographic special about finding this girl. It's on MSNBC. Not sure what time.

As well as a show this <b>Friday at 9PM EST on MSNBC TV</b>.

I have been staring at that goddamn picture since yesterday when it was posted. I've seen the picture a hundred times, and it's still captivating.

Maybe that'll clarify

Its so threatening. You hear about ongoing female infanticide and abuses of what I embrace as basic human rights - beatings, murder, slavery, mutilation all justified by the richness of religion, male dominated culture and tradition. Back to the good old days. Its more than foreign, its criminal. Unjust and cruel, thats what I find really hard to tolerate. She could be me, I could be her.
