You want something in
this world of ours to be offended and outraged by? Try researching the rape
culture that is taking place throughout the #ISIS held parts of the middle
east! We constantly hear bickering in this country about a "war on
women" and how women are so disadvantaged and stomped upon.
Let's put things into perspective, while there may be a
difference between the opportunities afforded to men and women in some
circumstances, anything that goes in here pales in
comparison to what women are enduring throughout the Islamic state areas of the
middle east!
According to Trudy Rubin at Spokesman.com
“People become numb
to all these atrocities,” he said sadly. “There is war fatigue, with nothing
but doom and gloom from Iraq and Syria.” He added that because people don’t
know much about the Yazidi minority, “there hasn’t been the outcry of disgust
you would expect.” Moreover, Muscati says, it’s hard for human-rights groups to
“name and shame” a group that glorifies its own abuses and acts outside
any norms.
But what about
Mueller’s case? Here was a young American woman – kept as the personal sex
slave of the Islamic State’s leader – who wrote in a smuggled letter that she
would never “give in” to her captors. She refused a chance to escape lest she
endanger Yazidi girls imprisoned with her to whom she had become a mother
figure. A U.S. effort to free her failed, as she had already been removed from
the site that American commandos raided.
Yet her tragic
story has caused hardly a ripple in U.S. public opinion.
Perhaps Americans
are perplexed that an American would risk her life to try to help Syrians. Or
maybe most Americans are simply confused about what, if anything, they can do
to halt the Islamic State atrocities in the Mideast.
So next time you
decide you want to have a fit and get outraged about something try getting
outraged about something that has serious implications on the well-being of
thousands of poor innocent women. Move your outrage from your "trigger
words" and "micro-aggressions" and focus on real issues in the
world today!
