While I appreciate the sentiment to turn all of the middle east into glass, it wont really solve anything. Hell christian fundies would pull this kind of stuff if you let them. This kind of abuse is common wherever women are still treated as commodities. While we all like to feel superior to them, we must also remember that the women's liberation movement was a pretty recent affair in itself and came from a far less totalitarian society than those countries.
It is hard to fight for social progress when the men around you are allowed to stone you to death for no reason, simply because you 'belong' to them. Its disgusting, and what I hate even more, is seeing countries recently liberated from dictatorial oppression becoming more conservative and starting to want to control and oppress half of the population.
It sad really, in Africa, a woman's life is worth a few cattle.

I'm more concerned with a slightly different aspect of this story.
HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU MANAGE TO LOCK A TEENAGE GIRL INSIDE OF A TOILET?
...Seriously? Toilets are barely large enough to fit an infant in.

How about we get the shitheads out and let the sane people have it? If you feel the urgent need to glass someplace, send the shitheads to New Jersey. Wait just a minute. I happen to live there.

AHA! Someone agrees with me! When will there be the Middle Eastern equivalent of the Nuremberg trials? JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED! I think LadyRenae summed up my feelings quite well about this: You there. The creepy person who decided I was supporting their position. Stop it. Your approval fills me with disgust and self-loathing. What did I say that was so bad?
