[...] the rest of the feminist brigade doesn’t share Pappas’ outrage. In fact, they’re attempting to obfuscate the story by reducing it to just a typical case of [...]

i guess that is why bob is the online columnist.

inanutshell, what i was going to say was that:
for what chris brown(?) did he is a dumbass.
what this guy did is part of his culture.
to compare the two, as NOW did, is moral equivalence run amok.

Rihanna’s treatment by her boyfriend, abhorrent as it was, is unfortunately played out in households in the US and all over the world.

Mrs. Hassan’s treatment by her boyfriend has been up to now played out in mostly Islamic nations. And apparently it’s not abhorrent over there.

Not Islamic “rights” are here. Will this guy be allowed to “Practice his religion” and not be prosecuted? Or since he’s in America, will he be prosecuted to the full extent of the law? For if terrorists held by the US are allowed protection under USA Laws, then shouldn’t this guy be charged under USA law?

Or is there some sort of double standard? And why isn’t NOW yelling its collective head off (no pun intended) over this threat against people of the female persuasion?

I do consider it horrible that Rihanna endured that.

That does not mean it is on par with the evil and cruelty that were perpetrated upon poor Mrs. Hassan. I can only take solace in the fact that she is finally free of the hell she was obviously living through.

So bruises and scars on Rihanna’s face are the equivalent of being STABBED multiple times and BEHEADED…Absolutely pathetic! Sad when more people are concerned with celebrity news (albeit justifiable considering she was beaten by a male) than a real tragedy. To quote Joe Budden: “F*** what the world’s come to, where the f***’s it going?”
