Another Islamophobic Rant

The Islamic movement "is renowned for intimidating, terrorising and violating women and girls and their rights". It obstructs "the access of women and girls in particular to the advances of civilised societies".

Outrageous. I shall write to Trevor Phillips at once. How dare they say such things. How dare they imply that so-called 'civilised societies' are preferable to Islamic ones. What about Arabic numerals/algebra/alcohol/Aldebaran/the library at Alexandria/Abu Hamza - sorry, I mean Ibn Battuta ? Who could propagate such hate speech ?

The Organisation of Women’s Liberation-Iran and Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, in this week's Weekly Worker, that's who.
