POPSAddressing the issue of women's rights I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. And that is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams.

The clip also explains the infamous verse of Qu'ran allegedly prescribing violence against women for disobedience. Highly recommend.

POPSThe Headscarf in Turkey Turkey’s headscarf ban is even worse than the above, because unlike wearing a cross or a religious bracelet, some Muslim women feel that wearing a headscarf is a religious requirement. A more apt analogy might be government officials forcibly preventing Christian students at American universities from going to church on Sunday. In response to reasonable religious freedom requests from women who wear headscarves, Turkey’s anti-religious secularists seem to be borrowing sound bites from American Islamophobes. One secular member of Parliament said that allowing women to wear headscarves at universities “will ultimately bring us Hezbollah terror, Al Qaeda terror and fundamentalism.” That’s like saying that Catholic students going to Mass on Ash Wednesday will lead to the IRA planting bombs on campus.

POPSThe Deserter's Tale - an excerpt - Joshua Key story "I found PFC Hayes holding a woman at gunpoint outside. “What are you doing this for?” she screamed. “We have done nothing to you. You Americans are ruthless!” Hayes finally lost it. Using the stock of his M-16, he slammed her right in the face. Down she went, face in the dirt. Then something happened that I dream about to this day. All the women were led back inside the house, and our entire platoon was ordered to stand guard around it. Four US military men who outranked us—I don’t know who they were—went into the house. They closed the doors."
