If I was to ask you what the most natural human act was, what would you say? Perhaps you would say breastfeeding:

U2 frontman Bono was horrified during a visit to Ethiopia, when he saw local women pelting a breast-feeding aid worker with stones.

The American woman was oblivious of the offence she was causing, and had to escape the angry onslaught from female Muslims who had no qualms about injuring her or her baby.

Bono recalls: "I remember one vision of the people who are with World Vision, which is an American aid agency.

"One of the women was breast-feeding a child on the horse. She was so comfortable. She didn't mean to be insensitive."But the Muslim women did not like this and came out and started throwing stones at her because she was showing her breasts."

Emphasis mine. I'm sure this is on the front page of the NOW website. Let me check...no, it's not anywhere on their site. Of course they have important stuff such as getting transgender individuals included in the Civil Rights Act.
