That's a good point about the bulldozers.IDK...... when I see Israel, which I remind you is supposed to be our expert on these matters, bulldozing Palestinians homes because one person in the family is a criminal I kind of get the idea that family is important to the Islamists. Then I see the super low sexual assault rates across most islamic zones and so then this seems confirmed. I also hear that Iraqi men almost to a man openly weep to Lionel Richie, so I wonder (OK, this last bit is an exaggeration).
Ya see my point? If we were talking about white trailer trash I might believe it on assumption that pops is clueless, but here I am waiting before I make up my mind.
OK? Channeling Don
But I think, perhaps, the reason you see low sexual assault rates in Islamic zones is probably because it's usually the woman that gets blamed and beheaded, not the rapist. Or worse yet, they make the rape victim marry their rapist. So women tend not to report it. So I don't think it is confirmed at all.
I get the sense (channeling?) that the father and son weren't very close. I also wonder if Mateen learned his hatred for women because of how his father treated his mother. I don't think women are treated very well in Afgan culture....so his father may have instilled disrespect for women in his son. And too, his co-worker said that Mateen told him that he hated women and he hated that he had to be nice to them to get sex. So if he just wanted sex then perhaps that might explain his interest in Gays. But he hated them, too,..because...? Because he didn't want to admit that he was one, too? Hard to say..some questions might never be answered.
