What is the basis for your opinion in this regard
The posts by the leftists here.
When presented with facts pertaining to the acceptance and promotion of sexual slavery in Islam - in a modern Islamic nation, the leftist react by attacking Christians.
Clearly the goal is to obfuscate the issue by attacking the usual enemies of the party. Also clear is that leftists, at least those posting in this thread, could care less about the victimization and rape of women, covering for their allies in radical Islam being the only goal.
Reread what your fellow leftists posted - see if you can find any hint of condemnation of Islam for exploiting women as sexual slaves, see if you can find even a hint of disapproval: OR do they instantly attack Christians in hopes of distracting from the issue and covering up the crimes of their allies?
It is a World Wide problem occurring to women, with or without religious entanglements. We call it domestic violence. Go check the stats on that.
You've trivialized radical Islam in your post by attempting to equalize domestic violence with the hard line crazy radicals insane brutality against women.
Oh and also Islamic courts. The UAE courts have ruled that a husband may beat his wife and his children as long as he leaves no marks.
Are you getting the reality of this?
Does this world wide problem that has nothing to do with religion include stoning to death for the crime of adultery because you were raped? Let's see. What religion does this?
Presbyterians? Maybe Southern Baptists? Mormons? Let's see....
Somalian rape victim, 13, stoned to death
Chris McGreal, Africa correspondent The Guardian, Monday 3 November 2008 An Islamist rebel administration in Somalia has had a 13-year-old girl stoned to death for adultery after the child's father reported that she was raped by three men.
Amnesty International said al-Shabab militia, which controls the southern city of Kismayo, arranged for 50 men to stone Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow in front of about 1,000 spectators. A lorry load of stones was brought to the stadium for the killing.
Amnesty said Duhulow struggled with her captors and had to be forcibly carried into the stadium.
"At one point during the stoning, Amnesty International has been told by numerous eyewitnesses that nurses were instructed to check whether Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was still alive when buried in the ground.
They removed her from the ground, declared that she was, and she was replaced in the hole where she had been buried for the stoning to continue," the human rights group said.
It continued: "Inside the stadium, militia members opened fire when some of the witnesses to the killing attempted to save her life, and shot dead a boy who was a bystander."
If you want a real eyeopener you should go to one of my favorite sites Women against Shariah. They are pretty awesome. I personally have been involved with muslim women's rights since the mid 90's.
Here's their mission statement and a link for you.
MISSION STATEMENT
It is our position that shariah law imposes second class status on women and is incompatible with the standards of liberal Western societies and the basic principles of human rights that include equality under the law and the protection of individual freedoms.
The shariah code mandates the complete authority of men over women, including the control of their movement, education, marital options, clothing, bodies, place of residence and all other aspects of their existence. Further, it calls for the beating, punishment, and murder of women who dont comply with shariah requirements.
In our efforts to stem the encroachment of shariah in the West, we are focusing on the following objectives:
Education of the American public about the inherent human rights violations and the attempt to undermine or replace U.S. law and American statutes with Islamic shariah
Publicizing of important issues related to sharia requirements such as honor killings, forced marriages, child marriage, polygamy, female genital mutilation, violence against women, etc.
Alerting policy makers and legislators to potential human rights and equal rights violations and working toward the development of possible remedies and legal actions
Building coalitions with like-minded organizations to develop policy initiatives and interventions for victims of shariah. "

If you care about women and womens rights you should really investigate this website thoroughly.
It will convince you that what muslim women face is far more than "domestic violence".
And by no means am I trivializing domestic violence, but our version of domestic violence is very different than radical hardline Islams treatment of women.
EDIT TO ADD: Just a note. The men who raped the child were never prosecuted. Only the 13 year old rape victim was punished for adultery.
Duhulow's father told Amnesty that when they tried to report her rape to the militia, the child was accused of adultery and detained. None of the men Duhulow accused was arrested.
