MUSLIMS PRACTICE EQUALITY EVEN WHEN THEY DON'T

According to our media anyway

From Opinion Journal:

"Along similar lines, consider this passage from an earlier AP report on the hajj:

"In a show of equality, men wear seamless white robes and women are covered from head to foot except for their hands and faces".

Describing Islam's starkly disparate treatment of men and woman as "a show of equality" is downright Orwellian. For whatever reason, Western journalists, commentators and politicians engage in an awful lot of self-censorship and convoluted reasoning to avoid casting an unfavorable light on Islam."
