I still can't decide how I feel about this. Personally I hate doctored photos, but it is their religion.
So any bad behavior can be excused if it's part of a religion? I can start feeding babies into burning idols? Pitch virgins into volcanos? Marry eight fourteen year olds? If we're going to hate/fear/condemn one religion for how it treats women shouldn't we extend that to all religions who do? (I do believe that would be all of them, even my own). Or do we give them all a pass?

My thought is if you don't want to show the women, then why even bother to doctor and post the photo? It's an interesting photo, but not a necessary one to cover the bin Laden kill.
I wonder how that paper covers weddings? Just the groom's photo?

The primitive sect should not get a pass. The National Organization for Women should be picketing them daily. The newspapers should editoralize about them constantly. They should be shunned daily.
Their hate of women should stop. Why parents would arrange a marriage with a woman hater, I do not know. Why a woman in the U.S. would subject herself to that type of life is beyond me.
Our culture should stand against them, not our government.
So having a woman as Secretary of State must seem rediculous to them and anything she says probably just goes in one ear and out the other. Just wait until we have a woman as president...they will have lots of shots of an empty presidential podium. No wonder these places are so slow to catch up with the rest of us.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Yes - libruls exploit fear, too --- I had no intention of leaving them out.
Simple example - we have a librul promoting a "no fly" list for Amtrak......
There's a huge fear among libruls that some neo-con will eliminate funding for the arts - and we'll become the next totalitarian empire - there's that cuts to education will render the entire country illiterate (as if we're not illiterate, already). The AARP wants every senior citizen to fear cuts to social security, medicaid, and medicare.
The neocons use fear in their campaigns to imply that President Obama is a (gasp) Muslim. The gun owners lobby wants every gun owner to fear the President's agenda to take away our guns.
