Comments on: Feminists and Islam http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2006/08/17/feminists-and-islam/ Bill Muehlenberg's commentary on issues of the day...

As for the rest, especially many liberal feminists, perhaps they have been reading a little bit too much Foucault and haven’t realised that their second wave convictions cannot be synthisized with a realistic manifestation of cultural relativism. Undercut cultural relativism and then feminists are freed to interpret societies, beyond their own context, with some form of legitimacy. Keep up the great work.

My, she is feisty! Also the media watch: these insights into the photo-journalists bag of tricks, confirm again what we forget all too quickly, and all too often. Seedy political agenda's are always a-running - especially among our media photographers. Thanks. Hard hitting reporters? Or liars, on a mission? Their integrity appears to be - 'shot to bits'. Their sweet-clean-teddy-bear self-portraits, may not be what they seem. Very complementary to Bill's post. (An old buddy from the Wisconsin days, I see!)
