religion of the fundamentalist, women-opressing type is always strongest where there is poverty. Men who are poor and humiliated go home and humiliate their women.

the poverty doesn't help them "evolve" at all, that's true. but we didn't create the society that made everyone but the elites there poor. plus, i think it goes far beyond the poor, humiliated men taking it out on their women. that almost makes it seem reasonable what they're doing, but there is simply NO excuse for it. i often wonder how the muslim nations, who were once so advanced in the past have slipped into barbarity. perhaps its because they're still frozen in the past.
