NY Times columnist scorns women

Well, that's pretty much what it boils down to. Somehow for some reason whenever the subject of the subjugation of women in Islam comes up, liberals and so-called feminists side with the oppressors. It's not just dhimmitude; it's not just political correctness; it's not just willful ignorance; it's a hatred for the truth, freedom and it's rooted in anti-Americanism. One wonders what these people would do if they were in the same position. Here Powerline analyzes NY Times columnist Kristof's disparagement of Hirsi Ali. We begin with Kristof's column and move to Powerline's commentary. Oh, and did you know Muslims still hold slaves?

She has managed to outrage more people -- in some cases to the point that they want to assassinate her -- in more languages in more countries on more continents than almost any writer in the world today. 

That's only the beginning. Kristof goes on to write that Hirsi Ali "is working on antagonizing even more people," even though it "might seem presumptuous to write another memoir so soon." It is easy to see why so many want to kill her, Kristof says, since she is "by nature a provocateur, the type of person who rolls out verbal hand grenades by reflex." Bear in mind that in this case, the "provocateur's" "hand grenades" are arguments that little girls shouldn't have their clitorises cut out, be beaten for no particular reason, or be forced to marry men they haven't met. Is that provocative? To members of the Democratic Party, it is.
