Michael Vick was sentenced today:
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls that did not perform up to expectations.
Before you think that this is a story about how awful it is that Vick should get almost 2 years for his dogfighting crimes, think again. The inequity of justice isn't for celebrities, it's for women.
It's very saddening (and enraging) to me that a person can kill dogs and get 23 months in prison, not because of the killings, but because of the way he killed them. The case isn't about life and animals' rights, it's about cruelty. But what I'm forced to wonder is why is it that there is so much outrage because of what happened to Vick's dogs, but the world remains silent about the oppression of women in Muslim societies.
Just a few weeks ago there were stories about a Muslim cleric giving advice on how to beat your wife. It's "accepted" (by the men) and accepted (by women who have no choice) that if you're a woman in a Muslim country, you're going to be treated worse than an American house pet and the punishment for abuse is nonexistent.
Amnesty International and other left-wing organizations like to talk about how awful we are in the USA because we have the death penalty for crimes but they are largely silent on the cultural normality of women abuse in Muslim society. The tragedy isn't just that Muslim women are oppressed beyond all reason, and they certainly are. The tragedy is that for no other reason than to advance their own personal agenda of self-loathing and seeking the praise of anyone who hates America, these women are left to suffer and die.
Huckabee says a long time ago that he thinks that homosexuality is a problem and the media goes nuts. Ahmed-dinner-jacket denies that homosexuality exists in Iran (and he kills gays every day to try to make that statement true) and all you hear from the media is crickets.
The communist left of this country (aka Democrats) and their willing sycophants in the main stream media are guilty by inaction for every homosexual that or woman that is killed in a Muslim country. It is criminal negligence that they can't be tried for but should be ashamed of. The blood of untold innocents are on their hands for no other reason than they want to befriend anyone who hates America.
