his latest book apparently states that: "9/11 was provoked by feminism, birth control, abortion, pornography, feminism, Hollywood, divorce, the First Amendment, gay marriage, and did I mention feminism?"
My favorite: "As for the veil, he approvingly quotes Sudanese radical cleric Hassan Turabi, who claims it lets women be seen as human beings." um. yea. sure. You men are SO pathetic and driven by hormones, that we women have to hide under ugly sacks so you wont lose control. (Please dont take that to mean I dont think women should veil, but it ought to be their choice, not forced on them.)

Grr! argh!
