Miley Cyrus Racist?

Personally I beleive that this controversy about Mileys racist photo is a waste of the media's time and should no longer be talked about.
I think about when I was a child I myself used to make myself do the Chinese eyes. Does that make me a racist child? Definatly not, it was simply just a goofy face that I just did for fun. I wasn't doing it to make fun of an ethnicity.
To that short extent, I am most postive that Miley just did a goofy face for a photo.
As she states in the article from ABC News, " I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing of me."
In no way do I believe she is lying. People all over the world do that face, and it never became controvertial until Miley made that face.
Most likely fans would not have seen this photo until it was posted on the internet and magazines for being racist.
She is not a bad example for these children she is simply just having fun. The media is making her look like a bad role model.

'Rape Law' In the Middle East

The law, passed last month, says a husband can demand sex with his wife every four days unless:
1) She is menstruating
2) The day is a holy day
3) She is ill
This is a clause that critics say legalizes marital rape. It also regulates when and for what reasons a wife may leave her home alone.
Women’s rights activists scheduled a protest on Wednesday attended by mostly young women. But the group was swamped by counter-protesters,both men and women, who shouted at them. Some picked up gravel and stones and threw them at the women, while others shouted “Death to the slaves of the Christians!” Female police held hands around the group to create a protective barrier.
The government has said the Shia(a certian type of religion) family law is being reviewed and will not be implemented in its current form. Even though the law would only apply to the Shia religion which it 10% - 20% of the Middle Eastern population it has created an uproar by people against it who say it marks a return of the Taliban-type group.
