Hold on for a minute…this news story, while exposing more of the ‘fruit’ produced by Islam, continues to legitimize this ‘religion’ by a. indeed referring to Mohammed as a ‘prophet’, and b. saying that these acts are not what said ‘prophet’ wanted for Islam? Are we serious!?

…no wonder why most in the West continued to be deceived. Im surprised that you didnt bring light to this Debbie. I guess as a member of our military arm I am a little more aggressive about calling a spade a spade…even if I do agree that what these woman are doing for the Afghan women is a beautiful thing.

P: I figured I covered all of that with the statement that neither Sawyer nor ABC news had the guts to call out Islam or Muslims as the culprits. DS

How very sad. We are told to understand, tolerate, and even embrace the “religion of peace” from those who “don’t want to offend” and our leadership in government. Plus, we are financing many of these “peaceful” people who are so misunderstood with our tax dollars. Enough is enough already! We should have cut them off the American financial teat a long time ago. It is still not too late to do it! I know… wishful thinking.

America, the beautiful.
thank you again, Debbie.

Christians see women as they see Mary, a virgin, the mother of Jesus, and the ark of the new covenant. Muslims see women as they see Eve, a women who corrupted Adam.

Rick on March 12, 2010 at 2:12 pm

Actually they did mention the word Islam one time….when they said they were trying to teach the men that this was not what islam or muhammad was about. On the contrary Ms. Sawyer, savagery is all that islam IS about.

Charmaine on March 12, 2010 at 2:36 pm

We’ll get the same old BS about how this is not a true representation of the true Islam from Liberals and Muslims alike. This will be concidered an isolated incident like all the terrorist attacks happening globally, and the comparison will be made about how all those catholic’s abuse children as well. An emotional argument will be made dismissing this behavior, and Islam instead of a factual argument condeming Islam.

It is only a matter of time before this reaches our shores (if it has not already).

By the way, if this is what they do to THEIR women, …

I_AM_ME on March 12, 2010 at 2:47 pm

In the program “living in Fear”, Manesia Naderi, Esther Hineman said they were trying to teach the men that this was not what islam or muhammad was about. . .at the same time admit-

***90% [NINETY PERCENT!!!] of Afghan women experience human rights violations***

***15 MILLION Afghan women need help***

Although these two women and centers like theirs offer temporary respite to the battered women of Afghanistan, nothing is going to change until Islam is eliminated from the equation. Dualism – contradictions – weave through the doctrine and dogma of Islam to defeat any attempt at change. The very same devout men who abuse these women are rendered utterly impotent to correct it by their deen – then look for handouts and the sweat of others to build schools for their daughters/wives which they will eventually tear down in defiance of equality anyway. Allah would have it no other way.

Jetison Islam permanently. Lan Astaslem.

I am afraid what will happen if we leave Afghanistan now. These women will be further victimized by the Taliban and the followers of the “Religion of Peace”. If you want to be terrorized, watch the movie “Osama” – and the camera moves away from the most brutal portions. Terrifying. Of course, the Far Left defends these savages as it attacks Israel and the USA. Particularly nauseating of late is Max Blumenthal, the son of the horrible Sid Blumenthal. He is a big lefty and radical Islam lover. The other phony is Eric Alter-thing of the Nation. I am sick of these self-haters.

Julian on March 12, 2010 at 4:34 pm

I noted that comment that the fathers want their daughters educated… well…. DADDY, what ya waitin’for?? Build your girls some schools.

Lazy moslem creeps!

And to know the girl is coming to America. Will she change her “religion”? I sure HOPE SO!

I do appreciate that somebody is trying to help suffering women however, I have little faith in the project. Sorry.

So if 90% of the women are mistreated( mutilated, raped, taken in marriage by a pedophile ETC) that means that 90% of the families’ menfolk MISUNDERSTAND islam and they need AMERICANS NON-MOSLEMS to teach what islam really means.

WHAT! Like those moslems would ever THINK they would learn anything about islam from an Infidel or A WOMAN!!

Pardon me if I laugh sardonically! Was that a joke coming from Diane Sawdust-head???

Those menfolk are doing some serious “lipservice” to dear Diane. Wonder if there was any money or goods given to the menfolk?? Yeah! I think so!

A women’s shelter works in a society in which such gross treatment of women is almost universally condemned, but not in societies in which such treatment is viewed with indifference or shown open approval.

Great job reporting this!

James Jones on March 13, 2010 at 8:06 pm

As an American living in Europe and a converted Muslim i am disgusted and ashamed at the ignorance of the average American.

Every religion has a noble system that is abused by those within it for personal aggrandizement: they blind the uneducated masses and collectively look to others as an enemy for the woes of the world resulting in the blinding of the faithful within its own ranks; as the faithfully blind follow those blind with ego, the lemmings fall off the cliff into the pit of ignorance where the devil awaits.

“Colored lights (and pretty blonds) may hypnotize go and sparkle someone else’s eyes, American woman stay away from me.”

mirror on March 14, 2010 at 5:18 am

Mirror (above) needs to take his rant somewhere else. His comment is off topic and so repulsive in light of the revelations we can see for ourselves in the video posted by Debbie.
Even Diane Sawyer’s ridiculous sugar coating of Islam could not conceal what the muslim faith is and what does to 1/2 of its people (the female half).
Once again, it is before our eyes: we see beautiful American (and Jewish) honor and kindness and ugly Islamic barbarism side by side. To deny that is to be dishonest, hateful and just bizarre.
Thanks for this, Debbie

Cat K on March 14, 2010 at 11:23 am

Uh I don’t think the Taliban is represented most of Islam.

Part of the reason this happened was to overcompensate for the fact that you had the opposite extreme for a while of women who were complete sluts coming there from other Western countries and this led for them to want more control but led to the opposite extreme.

Second of all I really don’t care too much about helping them. Most of these women teach their boys to hate. You think it is only the men Debbie. You’re hatred sometimes Debbie is beyond words. We are never going to win because of hate.

I’m sure this Jewish women who is over there the women over there have absolute contempt for her and think what a stupid Jew.

adam on March 14, 2010 at 7:35 pm

Ah yes, so glad we are propping up this Afghan country with our blood and treasure so they can “live” this way. What is wrong with us?

In Egypt and most African countries, the muslims “circumcise” their women–ain’t love grand? Oh but there are places like Turkey and Saudi Arabia where muslims and Kfurs can live free!!!

BB on March 15, 2010 at 3:14 pm

This has reached out shores: there have been “honor” killings including one done in upstate New York by a television producer to his wife when she decided to leave him. The courts let these loons walk on the grounds that they are “expressing their cultural heritage” by killing and mutilating their wives/daughters. Sick! We are reaping the winds of cultural “diversity”.

Julian on March 15, 2010 at 4:02 pm

Really?

How many men are jailed in the west for killing their women? I’ve read enough about how some women are treated here.

But, do we assume all western men treat women like this? Do we assume all western women are treated like this?

It’s easy to assume we’re all the same when you want to believe it, isn’t it?

Really on March 22, 2010 at 1:09 pm

Cat K. How is Mirror’s comment off topic. This woman, Debbie, is obviously Islamophobic, and is blaming Islam for this. Mirror is contesting that.

Islam is not to blame for the stupidy of people.

What about Christians who kill. And the Jews who are killing women and children in Gaza.

Really on March 22, 2010 at 1:15 pm

Manizha Naderi, when you left to Afghanistan in 2006 I’m assuming you were still married with both of your husbands at the same time, one living in Canada and the other living in the U.S
You arrived in Afghanistan and had a crush on advisor in ‘Women’s ministry’ who had four kids and a beautiful wife. You got pregnant from him and blackmailed him to marry you and paid him off with his first wife and children’s ticket and visa to United Kingdom with the same organization funds… How hilarious is it for me to know you so well and you pretend to act as a women activist while stealing their husband from them. I think it will be a big help if you leave them alone. By the way have you ever succeeded in your plan with Dr. Hyneman? When you said that you playing her stupid so you can get yourself in her will. Sending her flowers on mother’s day etc…
