Debbie Schlussel: "Religion of Peace": Arab Muslim Lesbians Say They Are Only Safe in . . . Jewish Part of Israel


By Debbie Schlussel

300 Arab Muslim lesbians, including Palestinians, gathered yesterday in Northern Israel to protest their treatment in Islam. They said they were "sad that the only place safe enough to hold a conference for gay Arab women was in a Jewish area of Haifa," which has a mixed Arab-Jewish population.

Predictably, Muslim Arab women protested the gathering. Wait 'til they see the videos their husbands, fathers, and boyfriends are watching behind their hijab-and-thobe-encrusted backs.
