Thank you for the research alameda

I didnt watch the videos,because at first i thought they are examples of the anti-islam propogand videos on youtube like other thousands of them.

It means that you have a closed mind and you fear everything that clashes with your world. It means you resist everything having no clue on subjects and having not investigated beforehand whatever you come across labeling any outside information as anti-Islamic.

Armagedon - do you really think that women in Arab counties have as many rights that they can exercise as in, let's say, Europe? It is nobody's aim here to show that Islam is bad, Europe is grand. But you have to be blind not to notice huge differences as far as the approach to women goes. Of course, you may live a happy life thinking that all media lies and all are Israeli (or Jewish) propaganda. Well, they're not.

"Personal status laws are governed by religious tribunals, thus making Lebanese women unequal not only to men but also vis-a-vis each other. For instance, since 1959, non-Muslim women are entitled to the same inheritance as male heirs, while to this day, most Muslim women receive only half of that. In addition, polygamous marriages are permitted within Muslim communities while they are prohibited by Christian courts."

"Perhaps the most flagrant discriminatory law strongly influenced by patriarchy is that pertaining to "honor" crimes, which pardons men for murdering a female relative caught in the act of adultery or premarital sex. If the murder is based on suspicion alone, mitigating circumstances apply. In addition, premarital sex is tolerated for men, while adultery is defined differently for men and women. Thus, a married man is guilty of committing adultery only if the sexual act takes place under his roof and provided that he confesses to it. If a husband admits to the act, but apologizes for it, he is usually pardoned, while the charges against a woman would not be dropped.

The punishment for an adulterer is one month to a year in jail, whereas the sentence for an adulteress is three months to two years -- that is, if the woman is not killed at the hands of her male relatives, in which case her real sentence is death. Women's groups have so far been unsuccessful in their efforts to repeal the criminal code condoning "honor" crimes due in large part to cultural mores which measure women's sexuality by a different standard than that of men."

Not credible as she's based in the USA, right?

And more about women in Islam

I don't understand why you're deciding to turn a blind eye to what goes on in the world...

I found a separate section for Turkey in the homepage of MEMRI.
http://www.thememriblog.org/turkey

I just did a little research on MEMRI and the sources like wikipedia confirms that this organization is indeed founded by the former Israeli Intelligence member Yigal Carmon.
To me personally it means that this organization know how to work in the Middle East and spy out real situations.
