    Anyone watching.
    Vinny having great fun with his God-botherig friends.
    Listening to this woman defend the appalling stuff about women in the Koran is pretty offputting. She also thinks not having to lift a finger in her marriage (presumably invoked by her as some weird tradeoff) is great. Girl power indeed.
    Crazy stuff.

    Given the OP's biased language, might I take it a fan of aggressive and comb challenged presenters indulging in vanity programs to show how progressive they are?

    My OP was a bit irreverent maybe ("god-botherer" is a fairly descriptive term IMHO. Is it derogatory? Didn't mean to be tbh).

    But the stuff about women quoted by VB in the Koran (sp?) for example is still indefensible.
    If commonsense is progressive, i'll take it.

    Given the wide range of Islamic culture and the role of women within such, I'd not, unless being a scholar be able to pick verses out of context to prove a point either way. Then again, if I was a such a scholar, VB no doubt would call me a "condescending twit".
