Religion can, and often does, feed misogyny. I’m limited to knowing about the Abrahamic religions, and they all place lighter rules on Men. However, honor killings are more of a cultural than a religious thing. Familial honor is tied more closely to areas of the globe than it is to a particular religion. Pakistan…

Ahh, but why stop with fundamentalist religion when you can narrow it down even further? The bottom 19 countries are all either majority-Muslim or have a plurality of Muslims. Not until the 20th country, Angola, do you find a country where Muslims do not constitute the largest religious group. If the problem were…

Check out the report quoted in this article. There is a common theme to the 19 countries at the bottom.

According to the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Gender Gap Report, Pakistan has the second widest gender disparity gap of the 145 countries listed, the worst only to Yemen.

Really?

They are an idea, and the idea won’t die so long as people believe it. Sadly, if only .01% of Muslims believe in the Caliphate, than there are hundreds of thousands willing to die for it. If only .1% support the idea, than millions support the idea. If 1% are sympathetic to the idea, than tens of millions are…

They’re not even settling for secularists anymore. Hindus are fast becoming their new favorite targets (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/wor…).

Back when I was in college, some evil person would poop in a paper bag and put the bag in the dorm elevator and just let it sit there until someone got the courage to throw it out. It happened several times over the course of a month or two, and the mysterious person was named the Poo-Poo Bandit.

Christ Almighty, you didn’t have to do THAT.

Yea, unless Colorado has magically avoided the residential segregation that occurs pretty much everywhere else in the US.

At least a few of these are for livestock auctions. I’ve been to one livestock auction in my life, I can confirm that “when in Rome…” for such occasions means wearing Western/country gear.

Sad to see. Jordan has long been a nation sympathetic to the West and to its neighbors. It has borne the greatest burden regarding Syrian refugees, and this action is not surprising. The US simply needs to step up. President Obama should use his last few months to strengthen support for the refugees and UN aid. We can…

The EU would lack morals (if it already doesn’t) if it accepted Turkey because of the refugee deal. It would lose all credibility as a progressive idea and would cease to be worthy of support.

It doesn’t help that the AKP is an Islamist party in all but name.

You realize Turkey is getting more conservative and more authoritarian, not less so, right?

I don’t understand the hate that calling a trip to several African countries a trip to Africa gets. Sure, if you’re just going to Chad, say you’re just going to Chad. If you’re going to South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, and Botswana, say you’re going to fucking Africa. Of course, her jewelry remark is less defensible.

Booze + BBC + Tumblr?

That’s what I’m talking about!

Why stay? To better serve the interest of big-business? Labour has pretty much admitted that it failed to convince working-class voters that remaining would change their economic tides.
