Why do I have to pretend shit because I simply don't agree with you?
Because you're engaged in trying to win an argument. And I don't think you can really say you don't agree with me, what you're doing is disagreeing with all these things you say I think, said, probably think, seem to think, or sound like I'm saying.
it would probably mean that you don't think matters are bad because of something specifically innate in Muslims, or otherwise, why being so avoiding in your answers?
I made it clear enough. Again:
You imply that there is something in the Muslim society which makes it worse than a Christian society.
No, I imply that Egyptian society (and many other Muslim societies - Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, ...) is worse than US society when it comes to treatment of women.
Why do you think conditions are as they are in these countries?
That seems quite irrelevant. See, my comment was about why there was no need for the blogger to mention rapes in Christian societies, not that bad things only happen to women in Muslim societies.
I'll humor you with examples on the matter however.
Your list of examples is quite short on things that are officially sanctioned (like the things on my list where). What other countries legally allow adults to marry 8 year olds? Which countries allow men to disfigure their wives faces b/c they suspected them of cheating? Which countries allow police (militias, whatever) to beat women in the streets b/c of their dress? The fact that among poor countries, the list is disproportionate/completely muslim would seem to indicate a lack of coincidence.
