Ufatteligt, at Dershowitz kan nå alt det, manden rent faktisk udretter. Døgnet har kun 24 timer, men Dershowitz trodser tilsyneladende naturlovene. Lidt af det nyeste:

Why Do They Hate Us?
The real war on women is in the Middle East.
By Mona Eltahawy | May/June 2012
In “Distant View of a Minaret,” the late and much-neglected Egyptian writer Alifa Rifaat begins her short story with a woman so unmoved by sex with her husband that as he focuses solely on his pleasure, she notices a spider web she must sweep off the ceiling and has time to ruminate on her husband’s repeated refusal to prolong intercourse until she too climaxes, “as though purposely to deprive her.” Just as her husband denies her an orgasm, the call to prayer interrupts his, and the man leaves. After washing up, she loses herself in prayer — so much more satisfying that she can’t wait until the next prayer — and looks out onto the street from her balcony. She interrupts her reverie to make coffee dutifully for her husband to drink after his nap. Taking it to their bedroom to pour it in front of him as he prefers, she notices he is dead. She instructs their son to go and get a doctor. “She returned to the living room and poured out the coffee for herself. She was surprised at how calm she was,” Rifaat writes.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf:
As Islam has spread throughout the world, it has combined religion with native cultural practices. Many centuries later, separating the religion from the underlying culture has become difficult. That’s why Islam as practiced in Egypt differs from, say, Islam as practiced in Malaysia.
Mona Eltahawy describes cultural practices in Egypt and the Middle East that predate Islam yet have been embraced by many people now as part of Islam. The practice of genital mutilation of women, for example, is found only in Africa. If it were part of Islam, it would be practiced by Muslims all over the world.
Mona Eltahawy venter på den andre revolusjonen i Midtøsten, den som skal frigjøre kvinnene.
En engelsk versjon av dette intervjuet er også tilgjengelig.
Nils August Andresen – 18. mai, 2012
Mona Eltahawy, få artikler i Foreign Policy har skapt så mye opphetet debatt som din artikkel om kvinnehat i Midtøsten – ”Why do they hate us?” – i siste utgave av bladet. For en utenforstående er det slående hvor smertefullt selvkritikk og offentlig skittentøyvask later til å være i mange kontekster. Det er ikke unikt for den arabiske verden; vi ser kanskje noe av det samme i den ilske tyrkiske reaksjonen på enhver diskusjon om folkemordet på armenerne, eller i den forsinkede og halvhjertede russiske unnskyldningen for Katyn-massakren. Hvorfor tror du essayet har skapt så sterke reaksjoner?

Muslim Journalist Challenges Sharia, Gets Accused of ‘Hate’
by Robert Spencer – May 31, 2012
Mona Eltahawy receives the typical treatment given to defenders of Muslim women.
Mona Eltahawy’s piece in the May/June issue of Foreign Policy criticized a series of practices that are justified in Islamic law, including child marriage, wife-beating, and female genital mutilation. Counter-jihadist activists and writers have been calling attention to these human rights abuses for years, but Eltahawy’s piece was singular in that she is a Muslim journalist.
Kvindekampen er forbi. Der blev ingen ligestilling. Hvor kan man bruge kvinder henne i en “globaliseret” verden? Nu kan de ikke længere arbejde som journalister i muslimske lande. Og de ligger jo også her, hvor vi bor. Reporters Without Borders eller Journalister uden Grænser advarer om, at kvindelige journalister ikke bør opholde sig på Tharir pladsen i Kairo, skriver Jyllands-Posten. De undlader at fortælle, at situationen stort set er den samme i resten af islams hus. Og i krigens hus. Og i Norge. Og i Sverige. Og her. Kvinder i det offenlige rum er fornærmeligt.
Det handler om voldtægt og seksuelle overgreb. Mona Eltahawy, der selv er muslim, er det senste offer. Eltahawy blev nærmst radbrækket:

Barsk debat fra CNN den 5. februar 2011 – Alan Dershowitz er god. Naivisterne er skræmmende:
US Role in Egypt for Last 30 Years
Suzanne Malveaux reports on the 30 years of US support for Egypt, including Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel. Interviewed are Egyptian Mona Eltahawy, Alan Dershowitz, and David Gergen, the former presidential advisor to Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton.
Mona Eltahawy is a freelance Egyptian journalist based in America who for a long period wrote a weekly column for the Saudi-owned international Arab publication Asharq Al-Awsat before her articles were discontinued for being “too critical” of the Egyptian regime. The ban imposed by Asharq Al-Awsat helped Eltahawy gain more credibility and she now writes essays and op-eds for different publications worldwide, typically on Egypt and the Islamic world, including women’s issues and Muslim political and social affairs.
Professor Alan M. Dershowitz is Brooklyn native who has been called “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer” and one of its “most distinguished defenders of individual rights,” “the best-known criminal lawyer in the world,” “the top lawyer of last resort,” “America’s most public Jewish defender” and “Israel’s single most visible defender — the Jewish state’s lead attorney in the court of public opinion.”
Et klart mønster tegner sig. Konservative medier får etiketten ‘højreorienteret’, hvorimod venstreorienterede får ‘uafhængig’, ‘velanset’ eller ‘troværdig’.
