The UK’s Muslim News is reporting that Atlanta Plus, a feminist organization, is campaigning to have Muslim countries that don’t send female athletes barred from the Olympics for, effectively, ‘gender apartheid’ (South Africa was banned for years). The newspaper, of course, is predictably outraged, and, needless to say, descends into familiar ideological slime with suggestions of, wait for it, “cultural imperialism,” “racism” and “islamophobia.” That’s the usual nonsense, of course, but it’s revealing as an example of the way that many Muslim activists often try to suppress any critical discussion of their religion as a ‘phobia.’ The truth ought to be perfectly obvious to anyone not deafened by the rhetoric of fanatic ‘imams’: the thuggish way in which a number of Islamic countries treat women as second-class citizens is a disgrace, and the West should say so. Often.
