I'm going to have to do amazon or something.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454841194149956666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-73346620412303170282008-06-05T11:40:00.000-04:002008-06-05T11:40:00.000-04:00You are so right, Clyde--while I was reading A THO...You are so right, Clyde--while I was reading A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS, I happened to discover a CNN special called "Beyond the Veil," a feature on Islamic women. Oh, my! How those women are abused, berated, tortured--it's depicted in SPLENDID SUNS, but it was awful to see it in real video. Dozens of women are choosing self-immolation rather than to continue to live in those abusive marriages. Truly shattering to watch. <BR/><BR/>(And I highly recommend that book, BTW.) <BR/><BR/>AngieAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745389922246602752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-7537459560566545492008-06-05T10:58:00.000-04:002008-06-05T10:58:00.000-04:00After attending a recent lecture under the auspice...After attending a recent lecture under the auspices of David Horowitz' Freedom Center, entitled "Women of Islam", wherein we heard their horrific tales of the torture of stoning and other atrocities visited upon these women and their friends, I have a particular horror to hearing or reading about any or all forms of torture. Instant death is surely a blessing in these cases. I wonder whether your editors had any clue as to how GENTLE you were being as compared to real life in the world of today's radical Islamists? The faith of these women in the face of such horror is beyond incredible! Clyde <BR/><BR/>P.S.

But Harry didn't learn anything from me--we were actually in a workshop being taught by Tom Morrissey, who is the go-to guy whenever you need info on guns, etc. He helped me a lot in THE FACE because I needed a gun for a blind man . . . <BR/><BR/>You kinda have to read it. :-)<BR/><BR/>AngieAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15745389922246602752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-2023022813738859152008-06-05T10:13:00.000-04:002008-06-05T10:13:00.000-04:00That's funny in a warped way.

We are definitely weird in what we think is okay.<BR/><BR/>A much quieter way to murder, huh?! <BR/><BR/>No wonder your husband gave you so many flowers for your anniversary!!
