I heard it on the radio this morning. Gene Simmons is in trouble for making the remark that his dog has more rights than most women in the Muslim world. He said, his dog can walk side by side with him instead of ten steps back, his dog can eat beside him instead of in another room, and his dog can go out in public without covering her face. Now Muslim groups are slamming him and boycotting his records (but as the DJ pointed out, it's not like those people who adhere to those practices make up much of KISS's audience anyway)
Now hold on, before you start slamming him as 'ignorant', think about it. He has a point, even if he used a dog to make it. It bothers me that with all the political correctness and complaints about human rights these days that the way many Muslim women are treated is written off as just part of their culture and religion. All through history, it's been part of someone's culture or religion to opress some group, but it's not considered okay anymore. So why is this?
