The level of sanctimony bothers me too, not to mention the outright hypocrisy.

There is unanimous condemnation of the polygamy in Bountiful, BC.  Women, it seems, must be rescued from their self-serving male religious leaders who promote polygamy.  A woman is considered incapable of applying informed and independent consent to enter into a polygamous marriage.  (Child marriage is another issue entirely, as it is child abuse; I speak only of polygamous marriages among adults).

And yet it is considered racist to assume the same for a Muslim woman.  Her decision (if it is indeed her decision) to subject herself to the self-serving rules of their male leaders is considered an absolute and untouchable right.

Why the double-standard?    How is it that Mormon women are considered "brainwashed" and in need of protection while Muslim women do not?  The state can't interfere with Muslim practices but can and should with Mormon practices.

Talk about sucking and blowing at the same time.
