Yes, I think it is rather "quaint" that the woman writing the shitty blog links rape to Muslims specifically, hence my remark about Christianity and her lack of insight on that. My remark was directly linked to what was written in that blog. No one else seems to have an issue with understanding that.
Now I *get* that you think it is far better in the US than in Egypt, but this is neither here nor there, unless you mean to imply that female foreign correspondents somehow have themselves to blame, since they go into dangerous situations. (I assume people with this kind of twisted logic would think that the male correspondents who fare ill, also deserve what came to them)
You imply that there is something in the Muslim society which makes it worse than a Christian society. In which case I will tell you that this is immensely hard to measure without bias. When you put into consideration that the US is a comparatively wealthy democracy with such rich possibilities and laws of protection in place, and yet still has so much crime, I wouldn't be so damn sure of one country's enormous superiority in humanity over the other. But again, this is not the point.
The point is, that gigantic stones of blame are cast in that blog, on Muslims, while the blamelessness in their own society is nonexistent.
