“Feminists must end their unnatural obsession with the so-called “occupation” of Palestine and focus on the occupation of women’s bodies throughout the Muslim world. If they care about women, they must confront the issues that characterize Islamic gender apartheid and affect at least half a billion women in the Islamic world. Western feminists should acknowledge that Islamist misogyny and jihad are not “caused” by Israeli or American foreign policy but by home-grown tyrants throughout the Muslim world, and by customs in which woman-hating and Islamic gender apartheid are religiously, regionally, and tribally justified. Feminists realize that they will become increasingly irrelevant if they do not break free of their narcissistic obsession with the trivial problems they find in American society and look to the Muslim world where women are violently oppressed in real time every day of their lives.”
