At the risk of actually sounding politically incorrect, Islamic Republics, even "moderate" ones, tend to ingnore the rights and needs of women in their society, and the more extreme they lean, the more atrocious the intolerance towards them.

Islamic republic
s? As in plural? The only one I know of is Turkey, and that is precisely the problem. I do agree with the sentiment of the rest of your post and there is no reason to apologize for the backwardness of another culture. All cultures are not beautiful (including ours, to much a lesser degree). Although I rarely agree with a certain Michael Savage, he does make a point in criticizing Islam for not having gone through a major reform movement. I loathe Christianity and Judaism too, but at least their more popular sects do not hearken back to primitive man's sense of justice. This girl, mentally disabled or not, has been brutalized her entire life and needs the exact of opposite what she is receiving.
