First, I would like to start with this account of a tragic event that took place in 2003 in the Palestinian territories.  “Tonight you die, Rofayda.”  She told the girl before wrapping the bag tightly around her head.  Next Suad sliced Rofayda’s wrist, ignoring her muffled plea, “No, mother, no.”  After her [indiscernible] went limp, Suad struck her in the head with a stick.  The killing of her sixth-born child took 20 minutes, Suad tells a visitor through a stream of tears.  “She killed me before I killed her,” said the 43-year-old mother of nine.  I had to protect my children.  That is the only way to protect my family’s honor.”

Experience shows that advancement of women produces effects that run strongly counter to the factors which nourish fundamentalist extremism

It would be difficult to imagine any other measure which would cut the ground from under the pillars of radical Muslim society more effectively than a dramatic upgrading of the status of women in Islamic countries.

'The Developed Peoples are Those Whose Women have High Status in Society‘… 'The Arab Man's Insistence Upon Controlling the Destiny and Body Of the Woman is an Attempt to Cling to Honor He Does Not Have' The roots of Arab Islamic backwardness are to be found.. in this view of the woman. … if we want to look for solutions, the Arab woman is the solution. The first step must be to eradicate the illiteracy that is so widespread among them …When the mother is educated and self-confident, and is an active and productive member of society, she can raise a generation that in its turn will also be educated, confident, and productive...If she is not, what can she give her children besides love? Nothing. We must recognize that motherly love alone is not enough to push society forward… In order to escape the dead end in which Arab and Islamic society [are now situated], there is a need to reconstruct these societies … it must be based on legislating full and absolute equality between men and women, in all areas of social, political, and economic life…the individual, and particularly the woman, must be placed at the center of Arab life, because ultimately she and only she is the solution

Western nations have definite interest in undertaking a vigorous long-term campaign, designed to foment demands for women's emancipation in Muslim societies, to exert pressure for upgrading their status and for acquiring civil rights currently denied them.

This will entail a huge effort in terms of funding, planning and execution of PR initiatives, propaganda offensives and psychological warfare stratagems.

An Islamic world, in which the status of women approached that of women in the West, would constitute an entirely different and probably less implacably hostile adversary than it does at present.

Massive financing of movements advocating women's rights in Muslim countries (perhaps even arming them to

fend off attacks, which may not be long in coming);

This allows democratic governments to mount and maintain a sustained campaign over time.

Difficult to conceive of any other “offensive strategy” which, on the one hand, would more effectively erode the foundations of fundamentalist fanaticism and induce a positive, moderating transformation in Islamic society; and which, on the other hand, conforms entirely to the moral tenets of liberal democracy.

Stewardess 'banned from taking bible on plane'By Laura Clout  20/12/2006

An air stewardess is claiming religious discrimination against an airline which she says banned her from taking the Bible to Saudi Arabia. The stewardess has been told by BMI that it is against the law of the insular Middle Eastern country to bring in religious books other than the Koran. The woman, who is understood to be a committed Christian, takes her bible everywhere she goes and is now set to take the airline to an industrial tribunal claiming discrimination on religious grounds. Advertisement BMI, formerly British Midland Airways, said today it was merely following the Foreign Office advice that no non-Islamic materials or artefacts are allowed into the country. A spokesman from the airline said: "We issue advice to all our staff and passengers that these are the guidelines. "She is saying she wants to carry her bible with her. We are saying we can't start designing rules around individuals when we've got several hundred members of staff. To take every personal preference into account would be impossible. "On its web site the Foreign Office says of Saudi Arabia: "The importation and use "The importation and use of narcotics, alcohol, pork products and religious books, apart from the of narcotics, alcohol, pork products and religious books, apart from the Koran, and artefacts are forbidden."Koran, and artefacts are forbidden." BMI said it offered the stewardess the opportunity to transfer from long-haul duties to short-haul, but she refused. The case follows that of British Airways worker Nadia Eweida, also committed Christian, whose objection to BA rules which forbade her visibly wearing a cross led to a review by BA of its uniform policy.

Tensions darken festive mood in BethlehemTensions darken festive mood in BethlehemCHRISTOPHER WALKER IN BETHLEHEM - 22 DEC 1997

Alleged intimidation by Muslims has made many Christians reluctant to celebrate the birth of Jesus in public, writes Christopher Walker in Bethlehem. LIFE in Bethlehem has become insufferable for many members of the dwindling Christian minority. Increasing Muslim-Christian tensions have left some Christians reluctant to celebrate Christmas in the town at the heart of the story of Christ's birth. "I do not dare to go out on Christmas Eve any more. The Muslim boys call me and the other Christian girls whores. They spit at us, try to force us to wear headscarves and in the (Islamic) fasting month of Ramadan that begins in a few days, the Palestinian police even arrest us for smoking or eating on the streets," said Lina Atallah, receptionist at the Salesian Convent and Church on a street scarred with intifada slogans. Bethlehem's Christians, for the past two years ruled by the Muslim-dominated Palestinian Authority, have seen their numbers reduced by emigration, and now make up less than a third of the 39,000 population, compared with 80 per cent during the British Mandate which ended in 1948. In the so-called Greater Bethlehem, which had only five mosques in 1970, there are now 72. Manger Square, the area in front of the Church of the Nativity, is packed with Muslim worshippers every Friday because there is no longer enough room for all of them to pray inside the imposing Mosque of Omar. When Diana Saman was a child in the 1950s, homes in her street only 300 yards from the square, the focus of worldwide televised Christmas celebrations on December 24, were bedecked with colourful lights and carol singers went from door to door. Today, most of her neighbours are Muslims, and when lights are hung outside they herald the start of Ramadan. Like many Bethlehem Christians, Mrs Saman, 42, no longer celebrates Christmas in public. "It does not feel like Christmas. I would rather stay home," she said. Her sentiments were echoed by Ranna Najjar, another Christian housewife in the West Bank town where the Muslim birthrate far outstrips that of the Christians. "The city is not ours anymore. We gave up the city," she said. Ms Atallah, 28, regrets returning from Texas to Bethlehem after the 1993 peace treaty which ended 27 years of Israeli military rule there. "The Muslims want to get rid of us. They want us to live like them. The Jews put up roadblocks and stop us even going to the holy places in Jerusalem without a special permit," she said. "Life for the Christians in Bethlehem is like being in a cage." In Beit Sahur, an Arab village at the centre of the Christmas story, being the spot where the Angel visited shepherds to tell them of Christ's birth, Muslim-Christian tensions are even greater. In August, a mob of 200 Christians stormed the local police station manned by Palestinian Authority police after an Islamic militant attempted to enforce his strict dress code on a young Christian woman in a low-necked top. Seven people were injured in the ensuing fracas. "Muslims in the city are fundamentalists," said one of the Christians involved in that protest. Christian anxiety was reinforced last Christmas when one Bethlehem Muslim prayer leader attacked Christian beliefs over the mosque loudspeakers. "Jesus is not the Son of God, he is an ordinary man. All the deeds that the Christians talk about are deeds of deception." A report published two months ago by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office concluded that Christians are exposed to unceasing persecution under thePalestinian Authority. "Cemeteries have been destroyed, monasteries broken into, and their telephone lines disconnected," the report says. Dr George Carey, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said after a visit to the Holy Land in 1993: "My fear is that in 15 years, Jerusalem, Bethlehem - once centres of a strong Christian presence - might become a kind of Walt Disney Christian theme park." His vision of the birthplace of the Christian religion becoming a place where outsiders tend the shrines for the sake of visiting pilgrims only is becoming more a reality with each celebration of Christ's birth.
