lpv:translated text	"Thousands of women suffer oppression, abuse or other forms of maltreatment. Every serious attempt to do something about this deserves our support. After all, women are equal to men and deserve respect for their talents. As a Christian, I have adopted this attitude based on the Bible. However, the report on women and fundamentalism offers no solution to the problem. Quite the reverse, in fact. The report tips towards a similar kind of intolerant fundamentalism to that which it means to fight. Respect for the deep conviction of worshippers is nowhere to be detected. The report arrogantly prescribes what is good and evil. Religions are treated with a negative and biased approach. The report’s basic ideology is founded on the belief that people determine for themselves what is right and wrong. People only have rights. Any mutual ties of love and care, of solidarity and self-denial are treated with suspicion. This appears to me to be unadulterated egotism, despite the veneer of human rights. The statements about motherhood form the most disappointing part of the report. Motherhood is, by definition, not a purely personal matter, if nothing else because children develop their own personalities. Furthermore, the father is depicted in an appalling manner as somebody who exercises control over the reproductive capacity of women. As a father, I feel deeply hurt by this statement. Is the rapporteur looking to abolish men, by any chance? I regret the work that has gone into this report by the rapporteur, but I hope that it will be rejected. Let us look for other ways of improving the position of oppressed women."@en1
