I agree there is a lot of negative spin on Islam in the West
This weekend I saw, on a supposedly intelligent debate forum, a woman make the statement "The Muslim authorities decided to declare a fatwah against Salmun Rushdie" - she was allowed to say this and it was not challenged.
The fact being that one Islamic country declared a fatwah against him, and every other Islamic country in the world disagreed with it or condemned it.
But unfortunately these nutso things (Iranian women being hanged for being rape victims in rural Iran, schoolgirls being refused to flee a burning building in The Kingdom because they were dressed "indecently") keep happening in certain countries - and the Working Class movements in these places dont seem to be able to grab the agenda from the zealots and the fruits.
There are people in America just as crazy as this lunatic judge in The Kingdom. The difference is that in America any judge making such a statement would be sacked.
