Jihad Watch is a right-wingnut website devoted to bashing Muslims. The article "Hillary backs reconciliation talks with Taliban" is just an excuse to portray Hillary as a hypocrite and kick her down the block AGAIN. It's what rightwingers for sport. The most telling thing about sexist men in the primary was the proclivity of leftwing Obot's to bash Hillary at every opportunity with the same crap the wingnuts invented. Far left or far right, it doesn't seem to matter, sexism rules even though everyone knows, quite well that no one matches Hillary's record on fighting for women's rights. Maybe it's what scares them about her. It's not surprising Vaj dug up this turd up to bash Hillary not because the CARES about the rights of women under Sharia law but because he cares about bashing Hillary. The ironic thing about the article is that in order to bash Hillary they are force to defend women. To tell the truth, in some dark corner of their sexist psyches, they probably admire Sharia law, and wouldn't mind if women had fewer rights than they do. Here's an update on the Sharia flap: "At a conference on Afghanistan in The Hague, Scandinavian foreign ministers publicly challenged the Afghan leader to respond to a report on the new law in yesterday's Guardian, and the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was reported to have confronted Karzai on the issue in a private meeting. At a press conference after the meeting, Clinton made clear US displeasure at the apparent backsliding on women's rights. "This is an area of absolute concern for the United States. My message is very clear. Women's rights are a central part of the foreign policy of the Obama administration," she said. ... At the Hague conference, instigated at Washington's request to rally international support for Obama's new strategy in Afghanistan, Finland's foreign minister, Alexander Stubb, called on the Karzai government to respond to the Guardian report, a call echoed by Iceland, while Norway also expressed concern over the trend in women's rights."
