Insipidly hilarious..... you know, this paints the picture of our present day "muslim world" society, with respect to its general norms. If a man commits adultery, it is generally ignored in our societies, but everyone looses their head if a woman stands up and demands equality. To the content and intent of the article, I do agree that it is something to defame Islam and to conclude that it is the problem of the Muslim World.
However, what I am unable to grasp is that they are against child marriage, but promote premarital sex ... I mean in UK, if a 14 year old gives birth to a child, it is celebrated and cherished (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2020801/Britains-youngest-grandparents-Shem-Davies-granddad-29-Kelly-John-granny-30.html) but if same thing happens in a muslim country (in a wedlock), they can't digest it.
But... as a matter of fact, we need to look into our own backyard as well. I think, giving equality to women in the matters of premarital and extramarital sex is only possible if the liberty given to men in our societies in these matters is taken away. It is not like that if men are doing something wrong, then women should also be given the choice to commit something which is clearly forbidden in the religion. Men should be shunned equally for these crimes in the society. Yet, we can accept a Kaptan with promiscuous past but cannot tolerate a woman to be a popular contestant in our political landscape with more or less the same profile. This shows our bigotry as a society. By the time, our social attitudes and values have really changed and are not Islamic anymore as well. We need to correct that too...
