maybe these countries should adopt humane notions like australia and the U.S. ...and im not talking about the U.S support and funding of contras and rebel groups in central america during the 80s that are responsible for the murder and rape of thousands of women. im not talking about economic exploitation by the west on nearly every third world nation, which further perpetuates the exploitation of women. IM TALKING ABOUT HUMANE RIGHTS! you know... mini skirts, no head scarfs, HBO, the works!

I allow my women? I don't make pornography and I never known anyone who has. Porn is not real life. You think porn represents the average American woman? It does not.

Yes you do allow Pornography as a norm, do you hold protests to stop it? Are you apart of any organization that try's to ban it? Yes I do realize that the average american woman does not do porn, but woman imitate us celebs who in my opinion are nothing but woman who sell SEX to make movie producers rich, and you as a norm cannot do anything about it because your people have let them get to that level. The corruption will last forever and there is nothing you can do about it.

Apsori, perhaps I know the meaning of fundamentalism better than u (which is in English dictionary)! The word says:
"The interpretation of every word in the sacred texts as literal truth". Now please come to the point! If one takes the words of the "holy" book as "literal truth", it would be meaningless! May I suggest u to read the English language properly before preaching ur religio-feudalistic dictatorship! Thanks!

Are you Christians bunch of stupids? You pray to idols when Bible speaks against the idolaters. Jesus married and had children.Look at these so Christians monkeys from Jamaica /and Africa , they are even today not allowed in Churches in the West for being black and dirty looking. JESUS is not god. He was not blond, had blue eyes and white skin.HE WAS A PURE JEW. Period!
