[Serious] G-20 leaders, don’t forget the women’s rights advocates rotting in Saudi prisons

I think invaders have a morally responsibility to address the problems they caused, but the widespread subjugation of women in the Muslim world isn’t a problem caused by the West.

Neither is religious extremism / fanaticism in general. Misogyny is only one aspect. Although foreign governments more often than not are supporting such groups (like the Saud family, Bin Laden as long as he was fighting the Russians), its not "the west" who creates those extremists. They are already there. People like Atlass are well advised to consider why this phenomenon is so widespread in the Arab world, and not just start with "its *the west* and now im going to look for reasons why its *the west*".

I agree that misogyny is one aspect of a much, MUCH wider issue, but the topic was specifically about women imprisoned and tortured for the unconscionable crime of wanting to be treated like human beings.

I can tell Muslims the source of their problems, but they won't like the answer.
