Rarely am I left speechless, but this article came pretty close: http://yementimes.com/article.shtml?i=1117&p=community&a=6. The article can be summed up with the following two sentences: "The Koran says that it's okay, so it is. If you don't agree, it's because you don't understand Islam and are trying to impose your culture on us".
Where is the National Organizaion Women when articles like this come out? Where is Ms. magazine? Oh, that's right, Ms. is too busy refusing to publish ads on Israeli women who have achieved leadership positions in the society, and heaven forbid that Israel ever be made to look good in any way, even if it (the success of women) would seem to be exactly that which you are seeking. For more on that, go here: http://pajamasmedia.com/xpress/phyllischesler/2008/01/10/ms_magazine_blocks_ad_on_israe.php, and here's a direct link to the ad itself: http://www.ajcongress.org/site/DocServer/Ms.pdf?docID=1961.
