-RetweetHonor Killing in Amsterdam

Sat, Apr 16, 2005 at 8:21:00 am PDT

An Iraqi-Kurdish Muslim living in Amsterdam was upset that his sister had fallen away from Islam, and had a baby by a non-Muslim. So, fifteen days after the birth of her child, he allegedly murdered her to protect the family honor.

AMSTERDAM — An Iraqi-Kurdish man, 21, is suspected of murdering his sister, 18,to protect the honour of the family, a court in Arnhem heard on Friday.

During a pre-trial hearing, the presiding judge indicated the court wanted to question the victim’s foster mother and aunt to establish if the killing was ordered by her family in Iraq.

The foster mother is in hiding because she fears the family in Iraq wants to punish her for giving the victim too much freedom.

The court has also ordered that the accused man from Culemborg be examined in the Pieter Baan psychiatric centre in Utrecht to find out if his cultural background played a role in the crime. An expert in ‘honour’ killings will also testify at a later hearing.

The victim was a non-practising Muslim and had a child in 2004 by her non-Muslim boyfriend. She was killed 15 days after the birth of the baby.

Her brother had allegedly regularly threatened the victim, and she had made a complaint to police in November 2004, shortly before her death.

Apparently the Netherlands has reached a point where they need “experts” in honor killing.

They dont need shrinks and experts to combat this. They need Holy Men of Excorcism and Heavy Blunt Weapons!

treating a religious war as a criminal problem is insane.

In light of this, and of the many other atrocities that have occured in the region of the Netherlands and surrounding countries HOW can anyone in those countries doubt the barbarity and backward-thinking of Islam?

Yes, for fuck sake, it was in his cultural background. That's the evil part of it. Jeeezzz.

If this was indeed an 'honor' killing then culture had everything to do with it.

OT, but a wrap-up to the morning dead thread and those that were in the first stages of arranging an east coast LGF meet-up. I'm not likely to be a participant in any case, as I will hopefully (please, please, please !) be on a contract somewhere. So by any and all means, have it anywhere the great east coast division of the lizardoid army cares to meet ! I look forward to the tall tales and posted photos, regardless of what shithole I may be in at the time.

protect the honour of the family

This is so warped it is deplorable.

How can any reasonable person believe that reason is going to work with people who believe that it restores their honor if they are ashamed of their own family member and must kill them?

Since when is a "cultural expert" needed? A brief trial and a rope should increase the Muslim Communities cultural awareness of Western Cultures values. Oops! I forgot. We must respect the killers culture. Off with his head! Use a "long drop" and a piano wire noose.

If anything, he should be punished more severely, to discourage the practice of murdering to keep women in line.

yet I wouldn't be surprised if he got 6 months!
or "time served"
he is locked up, right?

hey, if Ebonics is proper English for certain people, then surely "honor killing" is not exactly the same as outright "murder"

"Well, since we have no laws against "honor killings" we must let this defendant go free.
Until such time as our legislature craft laws dealing specifically with honor killings, the practice may continue in legal limbo."

Can't you just hear that coming?

Of course the "culture" of Islam had everything to do with this. And why is it necessary to call in an expert on "honor killing"?

Are these people blinkered and stupid?

“experts” in 'honor' killings:

See they aren't lazy and complacement waiting for others to do the hard work they ought to do

Euroweans really don't just want others to sacrifice themselves for their freedom they want to pull their weight too!

They're not waiting for other people who don't know them and that they hate to save them once again - really their not - they have a plan , somewhere here... i'll find it after my two hour lunch break... yeah

"Her brother had allegedly regularly threatened the victim, and she had made a complaint to police in November 2004, shortly before her death"

Oh, yes. By all means, trust the po-lice. Let the authorities handle it.

A child orphaned at 15 days, by it's own uncle...this is more than crime...this is an Abomination.


"...his cultural background played a role in the crime. An expert in ‘honour’ killings will also testify at a later hearing."

Not too long ago, my own culture held pretty harsh views on interracial relationships. Although usually it was the alien male of the pair that was killed, not the female kin, to satisfy "family honor".

I guess our culture holds women in higher esteem, or has bigger balls, than some cultures we could name.

Just hypothetically, if I had a sister or a daughter who took up with an Arab Muslim, and I then blasted a great big hole in his chest and/or head to "defend the family honor", do any of you
think MY "cultural background" would be used in my defense?

HELL NO!, I'd be branded a bigoted racist redneck bastard and taken to the "Man-Pound" for my lethal injection.

As it should be.

Ah, but it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT for Muslims, isn't it?

There is no "diverse" morality

Yet one more example of why banning such words as 'evil' and 'wrong' from the teaching of cultural values is a very very bad idea.

Yes the perp is insane. He still killed someone. So his life as a free person is forfeit in order to protect the other citizens. End of story. Lock him up in a tiny cubicle.

39 thinkingmom  Sat, Apr 16, 2005 7:07:09am

It's just a "diverse" idea of honor from that of Western Civilization...Therefore, it couldn't possibly be inferior, or, even more judgmentally, "wrong."

Only suicidal fools try to understand and placate evil.

Honor killing is murder in the first degree and a hate crime as well. I'm waiting for NOW, the UN, and "Ask the Imam" to come out and make strong public message against the murder of Apostates from Islam, but all I can hear are crickets.

44 wrenchwench  Sat, Apr 16, 2005 7:22:10am

Reminds me of the article in this morning's paper about the guy in Gallup who entered a plea of not guilty for dragging a man 4000 ft. tied behind his pickup. The last sentence says, "Investigators do not believe the case is a hate crime." What does it matter what was in the guy's heart when he did this? It obviously wasn't love, but this "brother" in Amsterdam could claim it was "love" in his heart, for the family, or even for his sister. Again, why should it matter what was in his heart while he killed her? If a society can't agree that all murder (or aggravated assault in Gallup, the victim is still alive) is bad, then there's already some inexcusable nuancing going on.

45 JollyFatMan  Sat, Apr 16, 2005 7:25:31am

I don't see what the problem is. If the man broke the law then try and convict him for it. If the family ordered it, then try and convict them too. Why do the socialists have to make this sort of thing hard.

In an application like this making the family bring them their food while in jail or they starve to death seems like a fitting punishment.
Since that is the law in many middle-eastern countries they should already be used to that one.

Moishe was an elderly man and resided in a nursing home in Hendon. One day he went into the office and informed his nurse that his penis had died. Realizing that Moishe was old and forgetful, she decided to play along with him.
"It did? I'm sorry to hear that, Moishe," she replied.
Two days later, Moishe was walking down the hall at the nursing home with his penis hanging outside his pants. His nurse saw him and said, "Moishe, I thought you told me your penis had died."
"It has," Moishe replied, "today is the viewing."

Cultural difference: In my eeevil Western culture, an "honor killing" involving family would be tracking down any SOB who harmed or God forbid killed my sister and taking him out. In the Religion of Peace, an "honor killing" is BEING the SOB who kills your sister.

Yup, sound equally valid to me. /spit

Maybe this will be the little 'nudge' reminder to the Dutch that Theo's death was NOT AN ANOMALY! They have been backsliding of late, starting to make noises like maybe 'we aren't trying hard enough to help our Muslims assimilate!' When it's 'their Muslims' who AREN'T TRYING TO ASSIMILATE! What's more...their Muslims will kill them if THEY don't assimilate to Islam. They don't fully realize that yet.

This is a shameful story, but not one with which we are unfamiliar here in lizardoid land where we promise to look at everything if not necessarily approve of it.

An elderly Italian Jewish man wanted to unburden his guilty conscience by talking to his Rabbi. "Rabbi, during World War II, when the Germans entered Italy, I pretended to be a 'goy" and changed my name from Levi to Spamoni and I am alive today because of it."
"Self preservation is important and the fact that you never forgot that you were a Jew is admirable," said the Rabbi.
"Rabbi, a beautiful Jewish woman knocked on my door and asked me to hide her from the Germans. I hid her in my attic and they never found her."
"That was a wonderful thing you did and you have no need to feel guilty."
"It's worse Rabbi. I was weak and allowed her to repay me for my efforts with her sexual favours."
"You were both in great danger and would have suffered terribly if the Germans had found her. There is a favourable balance between good and evil and you will be judged kindly. Give up your feelings of guilt."
"Thank you, Rabbi. That's a great load off my mind. But I have one more question."
"And what is that?"
"Should I tell her the war is over?"

An expert in ‘honour’ killings will also testify at a later hearing.

"So, for instance, when my sister dishonored the family by marrying an infidel and drinking idiotic, we of course killed her to cleanse our family's great name."

"No further questions for Mr. Hussein."

...to find out if his cultural background played a role in the crime.

If the man broke the law then try and convict him for it. If the family ordered it, then try and convict them too.

And I would add, if the leader of the Mosque he attends is promoting this, then he should considered part of the conspiracy to commit murder and be indicted as well.

Imagine if in the USA, some white supremacist group openly advised killing any siblings that dared to have a relationship with a non-white. If some idiot followed that advice, I'm sure the feds would use RICO laws to go after the individuals and assets from that group. In the USA, speech promoting murder is not covered under the First Ammendment.

But when the same thing happens in Eurabia involving Islamic apostates, the Euro-elites refer to the murder as an "Honor Killing" as if to imply that its just another quirky Islamic religious custom, nothing to see here, move along.

The Euros think they stand on moral high ground compared to the US. Bullsh*t. The Euro elites are quivering pansy-asses quietly sitting back watching their civilization go septic trying to figure out how not to piss off the very ones trying to kill them.

That's why: NO SHARIA IN CANADA!

The Muslim women don't want it. Ask them (when their husbands aren't around). It's the MEN of Islam who want Sharia Law introduced into our countries. So they can continue to bully half their populations, the female half, into doing everything their way. Muslim men are spoiled brats and no amount of regulation is going to change that until Muslim women stop colluding and 'enabling' the men to behave that way. Like 'pimps' Muslim men have engineered their religion and their social life so that women must 'please' them or be rejected not just by the single male she refuses to please or simply displeases, but by his family, friends, her family's honor is involved and her whole society is against her.

This is quite simply totally unfair BUT AS LONG AS THE MEN MAKE THE RULES AND THE WOMEN OBEY THEM, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

THE WOMEN MUST STOP OBEYING THE MEN--TOGETHER--EN MASSE! Just tell Muslim men to go to hell--they've been selling them a 'line' that's worked amazingly well for thousands of years but this is 2005. It's over!

I remember reading some years back about an arab family who did exactly the same thing to their daughter in the United States (except the girl wasn't even pregnant). The father who was responsible for the killing treated the judge (who was female) as though she were the scum of the earth. The judge sentenced him to death.

A rabbi and a priest happen to be sitting together on a flight, and began making small talk. The priest ask the rabbi if he had ever eaten ham, and the rabbi had to admit that he had.

In a country under Sharia law, there would be no consequences for the murderous brother, as he was preserving the "honor" of both his family and Islam. However, he committed the heinous act in a Western country governed by rational, secular law. Accordingly there will be a trial, experts on "honor" and "diversity" will testify, politcians and judges will confer, and a stiff six month sentence will be handed down. Western law will be said to prevail in an increasingly diverse society. Goodby Holland, you don't have a chance.

My feeling wasn't that they were trying to make killing Jews sound more acceptable to Europeans (that's already acceptable). No, they were trying to leverage the acceptance of murdering Israelis to make honor killings more acceptable.

You lump any change into the same category of whining?

whiners that wanted gay marriage, married priests, female priests, nods to birth control, etc...can kiss all of your hopes goodbye...


When I see a Catholic priest, the first thing which pops into my head is "does he molest boys?" That's not by choice, it just happens because of the last five years of news. Really though, these stories have been around much longer than that.

If the church allowed these guys to marry each other, let some heteros become priests, and allowed women to become fully human, maybe I wouldn't be forced to think of the Catholic Church as a child sex abuse conspiracy.

Keep in mind that a lot of those "whiners" are the people who are essentially running many of the parishes in the US. Parishes that used to have three or four priests now have one, and he's probably close to 60, so most of the day to day operation and the formation classes are handled by lay volunteers. I think whiners is too strong of a term. The Church absolutely needs some changes or it will soon face implosion in the US when there simply aren't enough priests.

"It is difficult to establish precisely the number of homosexuals that have been executed in Iran since the Islamic revolution in 1979, since not all sentences are widely publicized, but estimates range from several hundred to 4,000 (3). According to Amnesty International, at least three homosexual men and two lesbians were publicly beheaded in January 1990. The Islamic Penal Law Against Homosexuals, approved in July 1991 and ratified in November of that year, is simple. Article 110: “Punishment for sodomy is killing; the Sharia judge decides on how to carry out the killing.” Article 129: “Punishment for lesbianism is one hundred (100) lashes for each party.” Article 131: “If the act of lesbianism is repeated three times and punishment is enforced each time, the death sentence will be issued the fourth time.”"

I just heard a hillarious Muslim comic on CBC (didn't catch her name).

She said that in Islam women cover their hair because in Islam men are supposed to be attracted to hair. Then she said "I tried it, it didn't work ... my legs are all hairy and I can't get a man to go near them."

People ask me why my Mother walks five steps behind my father. I tell them, "he looks better from that side"

[she had been talking about visiting Afganistan]
[in proud voice she said] Now women walk five steps in front of the men... because of the land mines.

She also said that when she visited Mecca and walked around the black stone, someone pinched her bottom. At first she didn't say anything thinking it must be the hand of God, but then it happened again. Then she didn't say anything because it meant her prayer had been answered. Since I've come to Canada it's obvious that lots of men must be converting to Islam (implication - she gets pinched a lot)...

Is it Islam? It is tribal custom? It is superstition? Does it matter?

Perhaps Muslim immigrants to western countries should be informed once they arrive that so-called "honor killing" is illegal. This custom constitutes a form of rebellion against a democratic state because it attempts to substitute a foreign law for the law of the land, much as the Ku Klux Klan substituted its reign of terror over the written law.

This case is about civil rights, and civil rights isn't about "diversity". If anything, the academic patois of "diversity" is closer to classic apartheid than anything else, as the entire worldview of apartheid presupposes cultural relativism and "separate development".

I'm sure they know it's illegal.

It's illegal in most countries where it's practiced by the way, though Muslim countries don't punish honor killings very heavily.

What amazed me was that an attempt by the king of Jordan to introduce a law outlawing honor killings in Jordan failed to pass the parlament. It's odd. Islam doesn't endorse honor killings yet members of Jordan's parliment were quoted as saying that outlawing the killing of girls and women by their families would infringe on religious freedom.

Another politician was quoted as saying that all of the victims of honor killings deserved to die (I think he called them whores). And still others were quoted with the usual line given to the western press - that there are no honor killings.

Neither truth nor justice has any place in Jordanian society as far as I could tell from that article.

This is just another example... ISLAM cannot survive in a climate where there is a CHOICE of different religions or ways of life.

In fact, did you know that christianity was the most popular religion in the current day middle east until about the 16th century? In fact it was more popular by a huge margin until these countries started to be dominated by dictatorships which allowed the punshment and persecution of all other religions other than Islam.

Its easy for Islam to get followers when its the only game in town, but given the freedom of choice not many people would pick such as radical backwards religion/way of life.

THIS is why they hate the west so much, the ideas of freedom to choose your own religion, freedom to live as you want too...the islomofacists know that they can never be more than a radical minority in this sort of world and they hate that idea.

But honor killings are a cultural hanger on. They're not approved of in Islam, but tolerating murder within families is a side effect of Sharia because under Sharia, murder is treated as a civil offense against a family not as a crime. So if the family doesn't ask for any punishment for a murder (because they themselves are the guilty party) then there is no punishment.

Hold on. I see, this wasn't just an honor killing. They killed the girl for not being Muslim enough.. Interestingly enough I think the family was even harsher than Islam. Generally men are killed as apostates or for leaving Islam, but women are jailed or some such because under Sharia it's assumed that women aren't fully sentient and so can't be held fully responsible for their opinions.

just a point of clarification, not that is doesn't make the behaviour any less ignorant

honour killing is not part of official Islam

honour killing is part of Arab and other cultural traditions that preceded Islam

Islam wouldn't be half so bad if you could divorce it from various Arab traditions...

I remember BBC's Correspondent did a fabulous documentary on honour killing in Pakistan and the reporter asked a group of Pakistan men and boys what justification did a group of men having for killing a man and a woman, unjustly accused of adultery - one of the rare cases where they actually bothered to kill the male adulterer too rather than just the accused female (kill first ask questions later eh?)

and they quoted this chapter and verse from the Koran which in fact didn't say that at all...ignorance is not bliss

There are american Judges who don't understand "freedom from religion"

I remember a case in the 80's where an adopted little girl was taken away from her familiy because the parents admitted that they weren't religious. The Judge claimed that having unreligious parents denied the girl her "freedom of religion" even though the parents pledged not to get in the girl's way if she wanted to be religious.

This was in the south of course... I think that sort of thing still goes on occasionally.

Closer to home on the subject of diversity, the excellent Heather MacDonald testified on Wednesday about "Immigration and the Alien Gang Epidemic" to the House Immo Subcommittee.

Heather MacDonald Testimony

Sanctuary laws violate everything we have learned about policing in the 1990s. Police departments across the country discovered that utilizing every law enforcement tool in their tool chest against criminals yielded enormous gains. Getting criminals off the streets for seemingly "minor" crimes such as turnstile jumping or graffiti saved lives. Gang crime, which exploded 50% from 1999 to 2002, is too serious a problem to ignore this lesson.

Jam packed with facts about alien crime, and how little is being done.

Yep, the Islamic women should kill their brothers and husbands and fathers, and say it was self defense to prevent being killed in an "honor killing." The Feminists should be in total support of this.

Pieter Baan psychiatric center... to find out if his cultural background played a role in the crime.

So, if his cultural background played a role in the crime, he gets a lighter sentence, right? In the name of "religious freedom". The Pieter Baan psychiatric center must be where Dutch dreamers go for their brain baaths.

Little People of America
Because of the Hi ho, harrasser (heh) story, thought I'd give this link.

The site is for little people (usually but not always defined as an adult height of 4'10" or under as the result of a medical or genetic condition), a family member, or people with a well-founded interest in issues relating to dwarfism.

The main slant is on medical stuff (dwarfism has other negative medical affects besides shortness) and social stuff (e.g., meeting other little people).

And if you happen to meet a dwarf, remember, you are meeting a human, actually. I know they get gawked at (I had a friend in college who was a dwarf), but it really is deeply annoying anyway.

Getting criminals off the streets for seemingly "minor" crimes such as turnstile jumping or graffiti saved lives.

Great piece, thank you. I used to live in New York City. Had the misfortune of living there during the Dinkins Administration, where the attitude, endorsed by liberals, of ignoring petty offenses was all the rage. Then Rudy Giuliani, excoriated as a racist, facist dope, said he was going to arrest people for ALL criminal activity.

The libs moaned and screamed about the rights of the squeegee guys who stopped every car and spat on people who wouldn't pay them to "clean" their windshields. Rudy was undeterred...everyone who committed crimes was arrested, period.

Guess what, the crime rate fell off a cliff. The "petty offenders" turned out to be serious criminals when they had time to concentrate, and all criminals suddenly realized they were going to pay for committing crimes. The City was reborn, and Rudy went on to even be popular with liberals.

Liberal policies with respect to criminal activity are failures. Illegal Immigration is the latest example.

April 13, 2005

MEMORANDUM TO: OPINION LEADERS

FROM: WILLIAM KRISTOL

SUBJECT: Bolton: Character Assassination

The assault on John Bolton—a collaborative effort of Senate Democrats, the liberal media, and some quasi-Republicans resentful of his success—has now degenerated from an earnest (if misguided) critique of his views to a pathetic attempt at character assassination.

I worked with John Bolton in the first Bush administration. I know many people who have worked with him and for him in this administration. Carl Ford’s characterization of Bolton as a “kiss-up, kick-down sort of guy” is disingenuous. No, let’s call a spade a spade—it’s dishonest.

John Bolton is no “kiss-up.” Quite the contrary. Over the last four years, he was famously willing to challenge his bosses, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Deputy Secretary Richard Armitage, at the daily 8:30 State Department senior staff meeting. He paid a price for this, especially by earning the enmity of Armitage. Carl Ford, the former State Department intelligence chief, was a close associate of Armitage.

Nor is Bolton a “kick down sort of guy.” In fact, Bolton has always had a reputation as a straight shooter, a good boss, and not a screamer—unlike, say, Armitage. (Not that Armitage’s screaming should disqualify him from a future appointment, either. Lots of able public officials have been screamers.) The fact is, John Bolton lost trust in a subordinate of Ford who had tried an end run around him and then asked, according to the subordinate’s immediate boss in the intelligence shop, only that he be “moved to some other portfolio.”

This character assassination of Bolton is repugnant. If people want to oppose him because of his views, they’re certainly entitled to do so. I and other Bolton supporters have welcomed such a debate (see my editorial, “Bolton’s the One,” in the April 18 Weekly Standard). But to impugn the character of someone who has served sixteen years in government, in four Senate-confirmed positions, and has been popular and respected (if disagreed with, at times) in each of these positions, is just plain wrong.

RE: West Coast Meet Up

I wouldn't call it a spiritual experience or anything

but it sure was Boku Fun, Really Fun,

to meet and have drinks & dinner with about 30 friends I had only known online for upto a year or more, a couple years in Jheka's case.

I talked to Skip by cell an hour ago and Skip, Iron Fist, AtlasShrugged and Polly are doing "the Tour" and having fun, Beaches, Bridges, Cliff House, Alcatraz cruise/tour, Twin Peaks, GoldenGate Park.

I will recommend one thing tho for the future, after all the "liquid refreshment," have a firm "designated driver" emcee when the Speechifying commences after dinner. It was difficult to keep 'em to 2 1/2 minutes, but really enjoyable, funny & fun none-theless.

I give Jheka the Godzilla award for best funnyafter dinner moonbat story regarding Protesters and revealing to them he is "the devil". Hilarious, -- ask him for a write up of his Vancouver experience going to a PNAC conference, reference Jheka = the devil.

Lots of great good words & fun.

I did award Three "Bag of doz. lizards" to 1) the person who traveled the farthest -- AtlasShrugged from NYC
2) Toughest Blogger Present -- Iron Fist
3) Most Organized for the event -- Skippy

And it was way way cool to meet
---a couple of Pilots, One of two female pilots who does Airshows in the U.S.
---A really young guy, Lizard by the Bay
---Brenda from Bezerkely
---Joe Katz and his lovely fiancee Jan from "Winds of Change"
---Spouses, Significant others and I brought two kids, one in college in HS along with the lovely and talented Mrs. Havoc

Wish you could have been with us. It was Fun, a Blast and a 1st class venue Scott's.

"/11 Was Not a Good Justification for Enmity Towards Arabs and Muslims; Israel's Hand in the Matter is Clear

"When Israel states that Arabs are terrorists the west quickly follows suit. When Israel says that democracy should be imposed on Arabs by force, echoes of this view begin to manifest [themselves] in some western media outlets and western think tanks. When Israel begins to demonize Iraq and Iran the west goes to war against the former and begins to issue threatening admonishments to the latter...

"What makes matters worse is that some people in the west see that the issues of democracy, good governance and the rule of law are inapplicable in the Arab world, because the absence of the foundations necessary for their implementation is an inherent part of the eastern psyche, and that 'eastern despotism' is the norm in the Arab political system...

"It is true that we do not yet have a Westminster style democracy, but we nevertheless have systems of government that are gradually opening out which do not close the doors to renewal and reinvigoration. It could have been the old Orientalist terminology which led the U.S. to adopt the initiative of 'democratizing' the Middle East from the outside, and to unofficially view Islam as an enemy of democracy…

"But Washington entered actively into the fray after the terrorist events perpetrated on its own soil in 9/11/01. This was not a good justification for its enmity towards Arabs and Muslims. Israel's hand in the matter is clear."

What a band of idiots!

Tans are for metrosexuals and other such lowlifes, and I hardly think you're in that catagory. Actually, being down there in the swamps and all, I would think the skeeters would form a protective blanket on every square inch of exposed skin and prevent sunburn. Not true ?

When I see a Catholic priest, the first thing which pops into my head is "does he molest boys?" That's not by choice, it just happens because of the last five years of news. Really though, these stories have been around much longer than that.

No, mosquitos form a very piss poor sunscreen. I have slathered myself with sunscreen forever (vanity, not wanting skin to look like alligator) rather than safety, but still have managed to come up with some basal cell carcinomas.

This is just another example... ISLAM cannot survive in a climate where there is a CHOICE of different religions or ways of life.

Do you think too that Muslims arriving in the US, or Europe, where choices are available, will - naturally - become apostates of their faith? Or will fear, pre-empt them, even here?

Found a first edition book by William Shirer- "Berlin Diary". He is most famous for "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". And I also found a very old copy of "The Wealth of Nations" Book IV, by Adam Smith.

292 mungagungadin  Sat, Apr 16, 2005 5:16:32pm

has anyone pointed out yet, that the woman should have known that this brother was likely to kill her? according to muslim belief, a person who has committed such an act has to be killed, of course, by stoning preferably, but not until the innocent baby is born. But with the precendents, the prophet muhammed of course allowed the woman to wean the baby before seeing to her murder. This woman should have allowed for the new factor of our times: baby formula. That is unfortuntaely the only new factor, as far as islam is concerned.

#69 doppleanglander:

um... let me see if I can say this nicely. I don't think you meant to be inaccurate or spread false ideas, so I'm trying to be kind here:

that Krakauer book is about mormon myth, and the rudest, vilest kind. The only "spiritual wivery" was practiced by John Bennet, a charletan and pretender, who was thrown violently out of Nauvoo *and its goverment, into which he had insinuated himself* when he was found out. We Mormons are a tolerant bunch and understand that disgusting stories like this one have a lot of appeal and will get passed around better than the real ones. Enjoy the fiction, if you want to. It can be rather intriguing. Just remember that it has no basis in actual fact. If you ever want real stories... ask mormons, eh? Having been burned out of New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, and then harrassed in Utah, and as the nation's one and only example of attempted religious coersion by death squads, haven't we finally been afforded the same dignity of presumption of innocence found everywhere else?

PS: I was only five years old, but I was IN Missouri on the day, in 1976, when the Mormon Extermination Act was finally taken off the books.

Recently dead feminist Andrea Dworkin on female sucide bombers:

[Link: www.feminista.com...]


There were, in the interstices of the terrorists, young women, often women who had been raped, sometimes by men in their own families. Rather than face an ignominious death, the young women wrapped themselves with explosives and committed a glorious suicide, one that would raise them up into the elite of martyrdom. Now one sees the same happening with exemplary young women, whose motives have to do with trying to scale the heights of a woman-hating society. How does one rise up in a land where women are lower than the animals? If one does what the men do, does one get a measure of the respect the community gives the men?

It is better, easier, and more logical to blame the Israelis for women's suffering than to blame the men who both sexually abuse and then kill them according to honor society rules. Says one woman: "It is as if we were in a big prison, and the only thing we really have to lose is that. Imagine what it is like to be me, a proud, well-educated woman who has traveled to many countries. Then see what it is like to be an insect, for that is what the [Israeli] soldiers call us-cockroaches, dogs, insects."

The female suicide bombers are idealists who crave committing a pure act, one that will wipe away the stigma of being female. The Palestinian community is not sacrificing low women, women of no accomplishment, women with no future. Instead, the women suicide bombers are the society's best in terms of human resources, a perverted example of the best and the brightest. There are reasons for this.

The first has to do with sexual abuse. Israeli and Palestinian feminists have worked together in rape crisis centers to repair the torn hymens of Palestinian rape victims. This is a life-saving procedure, since sexual abuse is perceived as a form of the woman having prostituted. There is no empathy, no post-traumatic stress disorder, no redemption, no revenge against the rapist, no legal prosecution of him. Instead for the woman or girl there is secrecy or death. In becoming suicide bombers, women trade in the lowly status of the raped woman for the higher status of a martyr. The fact that women suicide bombers have not been recognized as such before this current onslaught of anti-Israeli aggression has to do with the invisibility of women in general and the necessary silence of injured women.

Ah, the Netherlands. The poster-country for what happens when the LLLs are allowed to run amok. The sad thing is how this is all likely to end. What began as a set of well-meaning politically-correct measures to be culturally sensitive and be welcoming to new immigrants, will probably end when the native Dutch reach the breaking point and burn every mosque in the country. Either that, or radical Islam will swallow the Netherlands in its entirety.

Hopefully they can turn things around before they reach either of those scenarios. They can start by actually having serious penalties for engaging in barbaric practices even if they are "cultural" or "religious" in nature. ASSERT the authority of Dutch law over Sharia law. Follow-up by getting rid of the ridiculously over-generous welfare system that draws parasites into the Netherlands in the first place. ASSIMILATE new immigrants into Dutch culture, and do not facilitate the construction of separate cultural silos among new immigrant populations. In short, stop letting yourselves be pushed around by thugs just because they're Muslim thugs.
