I'd heard that Ahmadinejad wrote a Christmas message, and this sounds a lot like his letter to W.

![]() The quote about Christian treatment of women coming from a Muslim is actually pretty damn funny, considering the status of women as property in most of the Muslim world.

Yes, that is how I read it.

Doh! Yup, I misread it. It is a perfectly normal comment, once you read it right. Normal for a patriarchal, bass-ackwards philosophy, that is.

All I gotta say is if the Virgin Mary is the role model for all women---you boys better get to know Rosy and her five friends a lot better.
