There are so many <i>real</i> things you can say about her (there's the cheerleader schtick, for one) but this really isn't funny.

Defend her honour, infantilize her, treat a kiss like a sexual crime. Are you sure you really have a beef with those fundamentalists in India? Sounds like you're peas in a pod.

We need to defend this daughter of India, not blame her for this white man’s assault upon her.

"Richard Gere should pay the ultimate price..." whaaaaaat??? You are really saying that he should die, be killed, for kissing a woman on the face? Jazuz, seeing a rape in this picture is stretching it a bit. Assault? Rape? Just a hunch here, but I suspect, Scott, that you have issues that really need to be dealt with. Good thing your not near me. What an amazing conclusion. Kill him. No wonder we are the stupidist country that ever existed, with people like "scott" pushing the issues. And he is a saint compared to what we have in washington. I'm heading for the hills. Shaking the dust off my feet as it were for you religious types. Stupid is as stupid does. Scott, you dude, or dudess, whatever, are really stupid on a human level. unfuckingbelievable. Whoooooaaaa. “Richard Gere should pay the ultimate price…” whaaaaaat???

It is so symbolic. It is right in line with the image of the white colonist forcing himself upon a country and just taking whatever he wants. Richard Gere should pay the ultimate price for this. What bothers me however is those who would blame Shilpa Shetty for this. Too often women victims of rape in India are blamed for what happened like they wanted the rape to happen or it was their fault the rape happened even when the truth might be that the rapists brutalized them and they couldn't stop the rape from happening. While of course Richard Gere didn't actually rape Shilpa Shetty, I still see this whole "Blame the Woman Victim" dynamic in place. From what I saw from the video Shilpa Shetty did nothing to cause Richard Gere to act the way he did, and was in fact as shocked as everyone else was that he would act in such a disgraceful manner.

I betcha those guys aren't down with gay marriage or abortion, either. Nice company you have there, religious nuts.

Unfortunately she could have mentioned (or bothered to find out) that the fatwa was issued from an illegal mosque that is currently being protested by tens of thousands of Pakistanis at this moment. As far as the Gere incident, well, that’s just embarrassing. Michelle is right that the fatwas and the effigies are stupid.
