Their voices were heard alright! these women were arrested, passports were confiscated, banned from work, named whores by religious extremists and attacked in their homes! that was 16 years ago.. Did we learn something from these women? yes.. that we can't get our speakers too high.. we have to reduce the volume.. adjust it to be consistent yet persistent..

I mean, she expressed her thoughts and i truly commend her on the last phrases she said on "Brainwashing".. Though i really fear another Rania Baz incident to happen.. Women should have "louder" microphones in Saudi.. I think Rasha already agrees on that.. I think we need witness protection programs..

Imperial feminsits in Western countries think Muslim women need to be taught about equal rights. Imperial Western feminists are just like the Islamic extremist male, they both think Muslim women can not think for themselves. If Western feminists want to help the Muslim women they should get the United States to stop propping up brutal dictators and kings who do the UNited States' bidding.
