Changing Hearts and Reading Minds

What's being reported on here is the open minded, open mouth'd culture of the West. The problem with Islam is that it is a shut tight male dictatorship (sort of like an Orthodox or Hassidic marriage). I am surprised these 4 women haven't been stoned to death yet...at a shopping mall. It sounds to me that they are suffering from and passing on to their viewing public...too much, too soon. Start easy, girls! Bit by bit is better than open wide and swallow everything I say. Democracy and an open society is fine, but extremists will twist it to suit their own perversions, then, by definition, sanity cannot reign them in because that would be a limitation of free speech, their precious First Amendment Rights. They shoudl start with women's rights in the home, then in public, etc. Remember they are dealing with a hypocritical society to start out with, a Muslim theocracy says one thing and does another. Drinking, adultery, homosexuality, all are forbidden by Islam but practiced by Muslims. Time for the inflexability of Islam to repair itself to life in 2007, not the Seventh Century. Once the TV is fine tuned, then the broader subjects can be approached. These ladies are likely to grab the double edged sword of free speech and Western life and cut their own arguments to the quick with it.
