Dark Ages Via Satellite

Sat, Apr 1, 2006 at 12:55:30 pm PST

From MEMRI TV, here’s a mind-altering show from Kuwait’s Al-Rai TV, featuring an Egyptian Islamic expert discussing the finer points of female genital mutilation.

Click picture to play video. Requires Windows Media Player; Mac users should install Flip4Mac.

Interviewer: So what about the girl’s opinion?

Dr. Muhammad Wahdan: What do you mean?

Interviewer: What if she says: I don’t want to be circumcised. What happens then?

Dr. Muhammad Wahdan: If a girl says she doesn’t want it, she’s free. No problem.

Interviewer: Is this what happens in reality?

Dr. Muhammad Wahdan: I have no relation to reality. I am talking about how things should be.

Interviewer: You are a religious sheik, from Al-Azahar University. You cannot say you have no relation to reality.

Dr. Muhammad Wahdan: Reality is a mistake, we must rectify it.

[...]

In Egypt we have four and a half million spinsters. The definition of a spinster is a woman who has reached 30, without ever receiving a marriage proposal. We have a spinster problem in the Arab world, and the last thing we want is for them to be sexually aroused. Circumcision of the girls who need it makes them chaste, dignified, and pure.

MURDER OF WHITE GIRL BY MUSLIMS IGNORED BY MEDIA

Britain's heavy controlled Politically Correct mass media continue to ignore one of the most unpleasant cases of suspected racist murder - which probably involved gang rape as well. 14-year-old Charlene Downes is believed by Blackpool police to have been turned into kebabs and tile grout after her disappearance in November 2003. Two Muslim men - one a former social worker - have been charged with her murder or with assisting in the disposal of her body.

The combination of murder, the appalling likelihood that scores of unwitting customers actually ate Charlene,

Reporter's Notebook: Female Circumcision in Africa
Kristin Whiting
National Geographic Today
February 19, 2002

Circumcising young girls is a practice that dates back beyond anyone's memory in Kenya. Even though the Kenyan government recently banned the practice, parents are still risking jail terms and heavy fines to put their daughters through this rite of passage. More than a third of women in Kenya between the ages of 15 and 49 have been subjected to some form of genital circumcision. It is clear that the tradition will be difficult to eradicate.

National Geographic Today traveled to Kenya in December because it is the traditional month for circumcision ceremonies. Our intention was to travel southwest of Nairobi to Kisii where we know the practice of these rites of passage still flourish. Although 38 percent of Kenyan women have been circumcised, in Kisii that figure rises to 97 percent.

IIRC, back in 1980 or so, Fallaci interviewed Khomeni, and asked about all of the Western things that they use, such as the air conditioner. His answer was something along the lines of "these are the good things from the West". In other words, he wants the stuff, but not the ideas that made the stuff possible. And certainly not the Jews who made some of the ideas that made the stuff possible.

What he's talking about are the quaint Western customs of not mutilating little girls. Also not stoninge adulteresses, killing gays, and, most likely, our custom of not, ahem, abusing barnyard animals.

In other words, he's willing to dress like us, but it is a bit much to expect this savage to behave in a civillized manner.

It's not the clothes that makes the man, it is the man who makes the clothes.

The following is a statement from former hostage Jill Carroll:

[Link: www.breitbart.com...]


I'm so happy to be free and am looking forward to spending a lot of time with my family. I want to express my deep appreciation to all the people who worked so long and hard for my release. I am humbled by the sympathy and support expressed by so many people during my kidnapping.

In the past few days, the U.S. military and officials have been extremely generous, and I am grateful for their help. Throughout this ordeal, many U.S. agencies have committed themselves to bringing me safely home.

My colleagues at The Christian Science Monitor have worked ceaselessly to secure my release, and worked with security consultants to do so. Many other news organizations, both inside and outside of Iraq, as well as many officials from Iraq and other countries, worked hard to bring about my freedom.

So many people around the world spoke out on my behalf.

Thank you, all of you.

During my last night of captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me they would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and I wanted to go home alive. So I agreed.

Things that I was forced to say while captive are now being taken by some as an accurate reflection of my personal views. They are not. The people who kidnapped me and murdered Alan Enwiya are criminals, at best. They robbed Alan of his life and devastated his family. They put me, my family and my friends _ all those around the world _ who have prayed so fervently for my release _ through a horrific experience. I was, and remain, deeply angry with the people who did this.

I also gave a TV interview to the Iraqi Islamic Party shortly after my release. The party had promised me the interview would never be broadcast or aired on television, and they broke their word. At any rate, fearing retribution from my captors, I did not speak freely. Out of fear I said I wasn't threatened. In fact, I was threatened many times.

Also, at least two false statements about me have been widely aired: One, that I refused to travel and cooperate with the U.S. military and two, that I refused to discuss my captivity with U.S. officials. Again, neither statement is true.

I want to be judged as a journalist, not as a hostage. I remain as committed as ever to fairness and accuracy _ to discovering the truth _ and so I will not engage in polemics. But let me be clear: I abhor all who kidnap and murder civilians, and my captors are clearly guilty of both crimes.

Now, I ask for the time to heal. This has been a taxing 12 weeks for me and for my family. Please allow us some quiet time alone, together.

_ Jill Carroll

The following is a statement from Richard Bergenheim, editor of The Christian Science Monitor:

The Monitor wants to add its gratitude to everyone who is helping Jill return home. You know she's on her way. In addition we want to thank again all those in the Iraqi press who have been tireless in their campaign for Jill's release; we wish to thank the politicians, sheiks, and clerics in Iraq, Jordan, Egypt and other countries who have spoken out as well. And we need to thank all the citizens of Iraq, regular people like you and me, who continue to speak out strongly as well. We are in debt to far too many people to thank them all. Jill will be home soon. As she writes, it is a time for healing. Let the healing begin. Thank you

Bob's Kid, surely you knew of this?

Rayra, feminists do actually get involved in this and do what they can do put a stop to it. It's incredibly hard because the practice is so ingrained, many of the societies that engage in it are so primitive that outsiders who tell them to do different have little chance of being believed, and it's frequently done right at home or nearby by village specialists, not doctors. In some cases it pre-dates Islam or exists entirely independently of Islam (although Islam has found it very handy to adapt).

Telephone wires are generally #28 AWG. which are .0126" diameter, not uncluding insulation. the square root of 100 million is 10,000, so the diameter of the bundle, without insulation, would be 126", or 10½ feet. Double that for insulated. Big honkin' cable.

In a video, recorded before she was freed and posted by her captors on an Islamist Web site, Carroll spoke out against the U.S. military presence. But Carroll said the recording was made under threat. Her editor has said three men were pointing guns at her at the time.

"During my last night in captivity, my captors forced me to participate in a propaganda video. They told me I would be released if I cooperated. I was living in a threatening environment, under their control, and wanted to go home alive. So I agreed," she said in a statement read by her editor in Boston.

I haven't seen any evidence of that. All I ever hear out of the feminist groups is a lot of surreal doctrine about "the patriarchy", and how the sixth amendment shouldn't apply to men accused of domestic violence.

If there are smaller, less well known organizations trying to work this issue, great, but the well-known national organizations with access to the media are silent. And if they can't work the issue there directly, they certainly can get some leverage by raising awareness of it here. And they chose not to, and instead, align themselves with groups who appoligise for this kind of activity.

The criticism is specifically leveled at NOW, and other well-known, well-connected, and well-endowed organizations who are absolutely silent on this, and generally politically allied with the islamists.

What do we use as a litmus test?

Because, sure as hell, the one way to tell the ones that shouldn't be allowed to roam free involves the death of innocents.

(Unless, of course, they are consumed in an Islamic militant "work accident".)

I'm not up for young girls (or anyone else) being savaged by these creeps as a litmus indicator.

Suggestions?

FGM? Oh yes, I am painfully aware of it. I've a friend who was visiting her mother's tribe (Uganda) when she was a little girl was taken with a sister to have it done. When her father got wind of what was going on he rushed to save them, but got there too late. They had finished with the sister and were just starting with my friend. She spent months in a British hospital recovering after it became infected and she almost died.

Unfortunately, I know more about it than I like.

The definition of a spinster is a woman who has reached 30, without ever receiving a marriage proposal.

Maybe I'm getting too technical, but isn't it possible that some of the Spinsters may have received marriage proposals, but turned them down? If turning down a marriage proposal isn't an option, than why would a man even need to propose?

Multiculturalism is partially to blame, as well as the "our culture is no better than theirs, who are we to criticize, we'll just ask nicely" crowd.

Sometimes I don't know whether multiculturism causes this attitude, or whether it was invented to justify this attitude. I don't know where multiculturism came from. It certainly wasn't around 20 years ago. It just showed up, and took over. I'm sure it's possible to research it's roots, and find it's founders, but I don't believe that it was ever an end in itself, I believe that it was always designed to be a club to beat Western civilization with.

And conveniently, it's also an excuse for barbarism.

One correction. It is Death to America! Death to the Jews!

That is why the L³eft allies itself with the Islamofascists. We are the Great Satan in their cosmology. Israel is the Lesser Satan.

The L³eft conflate the two, depending on whichever bolsters their prejudices more. At times, the Jews control America, at others Israel is an American cat's paw.

Like the Muslims, if reality doesn't conform to their predispositions, then reality is wrong, and must be changed.

I don't know if there is a clinical term for this disorder, but insanity is somewhat like obscenity. Sometimes you can't define it, but you know it when you see it.

These people, both the Muslims and the L³eft, are stark, raving mad.

Don't expect American or European feminists to be critical of people like Dr. Wahdan--they won't say a word. Feminists consider criticizism of Muslim culture to be a form of racism that plays into the hands of right wingers with an anti-Islamic agenda.

The ostensible purpose of feminist groups is to support the cause of women's rights. The onus is far, far more on them to be making this a front-and-center issue than on any First ladies, or talk show hosts (who actually have been talking about this), or any of the other groups that you mentioned.

You're doing a variation on moral equivelence. If you're going to go around claiming to exist for the purpose of women's rights, you'd better at least give lip service to the most helpless of women. And stop aligning yourselves with the appoligists for the abusers.

That's a favorite subject of mine. I believe the far right and far left really aren't all that different.

Both are into conspiracy theories, such as the WTC and Pentagon weren't really attacked by hijacked airplanes.

A good example is which groups have singled out Israel, the Jewish state, to hate and attack.

Left wing Protestant churches and David Duke are on the same page here.

IslmoFacists and LLL in the U.S. are both against the liberation of Afganistan and Iraq. Left winger Mikey Moore made a movie showing how happy the kids were, out there flying their kites, under the facist Hussien regime.

Certain things are universal. Certain things don't need to be explained. And when people start rationalizing murder, it's 1939. And we're in Germany. But that'll never happen in the American culture, because we are believers in certain absolute truths.

Here is a link to a Western Islamic women's advocacy group that opposes FGM, honor killings, sharia' law, and the 2nd class status granted to women in Islamic culture. Link to Islam America

Prophet Mohammed, sallalahu aleyhi wa salaam, was mocked and assaulted because of his strong and courageous stance on the status of women. He came with a message that lifted women up and gave them dignity. Fourteen hundred years later, we have descended back into the dark pit of Jahiliya, and Muslim women around the world find themselves cast into the same slavery that the Prophet, sallalahu aleyhi wa salaam, was sent to liberate them from.

It does not make you a "radical feminist" to decry honor killings and volunteer for peaceful campaigns to educate and change laws. Raising your voice against Female Genital Mutilation does not mean you want to "undermine Islam." To the contrary, working against these injustices in the way of Allah is a manifestation of the desire to uplift Islam and the Muslim people.

You go girl.

But don't be extreme in your criticism of them. I heard a Lesbian feminist in a discussion group YEARS ago telling some multi-culti apologists, "Culture shmulture, if you cut off someone's clitoris when they're 12 years old it's wrong." She wore a yellow triangle (like the kind gays had to wear in concentration camps to ID themselves as deviants) as a badge of honor and generally made no secret of her leanings.

So, once the author was dispatched to the fiery regions where all infidel insulters of the ROP(MA) go, it would be time to "persuade" the university to divest itself of any copies of the work. And, givne the way things go in academia these days, that task would be pretty easy.

People I know who aren't exactly studious of world affairs but whom I know to lean pretty hard to the left have actually sat up and taken notice.

Greetings, all!

This may have been posted, but it's worth mentioning again:

Defeating Jihad
By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 31, 2006

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Serge Trifkovic, a former BBC commentator and US NEWS and World Report reporter. His last book was The Sword of the Prophet. The sequel, Defeating Jihad, will be published by Regina Orthodox Press in April. Read his commentaries on ChroniclesMagazine.org.
...........
Glazov: Give us a little more of your blueprint for victory.

Trifkovic: It is essential, let me repeat, to define and understand the enemy. Are Muslim terrorists - the only variety that seriously threatens the United States and the Western world - true or false to the tenets of their faith? The answer has to be based on Islam's history and dogma, not on any a priori judgment by those who presume to know the answer or, worse still, have ulterior motives for lying about Islam - e.g. Western converts to Islam who conceal their new names and their true loyalties. That straightjacket has to be discarded, and the public educated about the sacred texts of Islam, its record of interaction with other societies, and the personality of its founder, Muhammad. Such education will open the way to understanding the motives, ambitions and methods of terrorists. We need to know if terrorism is an aberration of Islam's alleged peace and tolerance, or a predictable consequence of the ideology of Jihad.

The second task is to survey the defenses. Both in America and in Europe the elite class deems such questions about the nature of Islam - illegitimate. On both sides of the ocean there also exists an elite consensus that de facto open immigration, multiculturalism, and the existence of a large Muslim diaspora within the Western world are to be treated as a fixed given and should not be scrutinized in any anti-terrorist debate. That imposed elite consensus, in my view, is morbid, ideological in nature, flawed in logic, dogmatic in application, and disastrous in results. It needs to be tested against evidence, not against the alleged norms of acceptable public discourse imposed by those who either do not know Islam, or else do not want us to know the truth about it.

An effective defense against terrorism demands a re-think of our foreign and military policies. Would American soldiers make America safer by patrolling the border with Mexico rather than the streets of Falluja? What are the costs and benefits of supporting the jihadist side in the Caucasus and the Balkans? Even more important is the issue of grand strategy. Pursuing the path of "benevolent global hegemony" is certain to take America the same way as Athens after Pericles and the USSR after Brzhnev. Above all, operational effectiveness must no longer be confused with strategy itself.

BTW, scrolling down the MEMRI site a little further, I found this really outstanding interview:

Syrian Poet Adonis: The Arabs Are Extinct, Like the Sumerians, Greeks, and Pharoahs. If the Arabs Are So Inept They Cannot Be Democratic, External Intervention Will Not Make Them Democratic

The Muslims today - forgive me for saying this - with their accepted interpretation [of the religious text] are the first to destroy Islam, whereas those who criticize the Muslims - the non-believers, the infidels, as they call them - are the ones who perceive in Islam the vitality that could adapt it to life. These infidels serve Islam better than the believers.

Just google female genital mutilation. Most Egyptian women have it done. Many go to doctors now to prevent infection. While not the majority, many get the full blown, cut everything off/out, and sewn almost fully shut deal. On wedding nights, many a groom has to cut his wife open before he can get his jollies. To them, women included, it is a tradition and if you don't get it done, you are shunned and thought a whore. From the one site I read, this sort of thing goes back to the arab paganism but carried over into islam.

Equality Now is a left-wing org that has been campaigning against FGM since their inception. They even have a publication called Awaken dedicated solely to the fight against FGM. The magazine is sometimes tedious reading -- a lot of talk about the business of trying to convince tribal elders why the practice is so detrimental to everyone, not just the girls, but the personal accounts are horrifying. I've been giving them money since 1993, even though I disagree with some of their politics, because this issue has been very important to me, and nobody else is even bothering to try to combat it on the world stage. They don't have to worry about BS "racism" charges from their fellow lefties either, because their campaign is global, and their actors in Africa are mostly African and frequently Muslim.

Calm down. I was not referring to you when I said "hyperbolic." I didn't want to use the word "extreme," but saying NOW is "silent," as earth2moonbat did, is simply inaccurate. Silent means silent. As in not one word. (Earth, don't get excited. I'm not holding it against you in any big way.) And Tasty pointed out above, Equality Now is another leftist organization that is doing something about FGM. The early feminists did bring to the fore numerous abuses of women around the world, at a time when conservatives dismisssed one-time Playboy bunny Steinem et. al. ugly--and dirty, smelly, dismissable, unnatural, and ungodly. Those same women's organizations have now, ironically, sickeningly, "moved on" to an overwhelmingly unworthy agenda.

FACT: George Bush and people who agree in general with his foreign policy decisions are the greatest hope of the world's most oppressed women.

The majority of rapes in the Netherlands are also done by muslims.

I think the majority of crime throughout Eurabia is attributable to their muslim "immigrants." Of course, the media will never say "young muslim men" but only refer to their economic situation and other irrelevant nonsense.

The definition of a spinster is a woman who has reached 30, without ever receiving a marriage proposal

Gosh darnit. I'm a spinster.

Hang on - I had a marriage proposal but I said no. Am I still a spinster?

In keeping with this theme, an article appeared in today's Arab News which rationalizes polygamy:


All wives in the Kingdom — except my wife — should allow their husbands to marry a second, third or fourth wife if they are financially capable of doing so. They should be allowed (except for me) to have at least a second wife.

I call on wives (but not mine) to help their men resolve this spinster problem. If these women allow their husbands to have a second wife, it would do a lot to solve the problem. I call on these women to allow their husbands to do something permitted by Islam. Having a second wife is not cheating.

If the western world's struggle against the aggressiveness and belligerence of political Islam ever reaches the point where it is generally recognized to be a war of civilizations, then in parallel with that war there should be a kind of Emancipation Proclamation that declares freedom and human rights for all females that have been under the malignant control of Muslim society. And I hope that the women would revolt and stand up for their rights as human beings -- they are not the property of men, nor the property of families nor tribes nor the ummah.

152 Grandma  Sat, Apr 1, 2006 2:54:54pm

When you couple the testosterone-poisoned scriptures of a pedophile prophet with the cultural barbarity of men who never try to take advantage of an opportunity to get to know women as equals, friends, and just people who are capable of loving and warm relationships, this is what you get. May allah rot slowly and painfully in the place from whence he cometh, and while he’s at it, let him take ol’ Mo’ with him. Our Almighty Creator made both man and woman in His image. They were created to work together, love each other, procreate, and honor Him. If there’s some man-made religion out there that says otherwise, I think I’ll opt out. I don’t think He will mind.

"The following is a statement from former hostage Jill Carroll:"

I tell you, I saw her video interview with the islamic Party, and she sure as hell appeared genuine in her statements at that time, that she was well-treated, that the terrorists who kidnapped her were okay folks, etc. She was very convincing in that interview. And I was very critical of her for it.

Now, she has released this statement, in which she refutes her earlier interview. I will give her the benefit of the doubt, and I will assume her interview with the islamic Party was under duress.

Personally, I think we need more lesbians and gays on the right.

For the life of me, if I was a hard working guy who is a patriot and doesn't hate the USA, I just can't imagine having to be a democrat just because I was gay.

I would guess that most lesbian and gay's have VERY little else in common with the leftist, america hating democrats other than that single allged issue.....kind of like black americans in that regard now that I think about it.

Seems like 1/2 of all democrats are only there because of a single issue and don't have anything in common with the pinko, koskids, wacko out of touch leftists that run that party.

The question was tackled by Germaine Greer, except that she didn't restrict it to Muslims but to almost all human societies to a greater or lesser degree.

Her answer is that throughout history, men have feared female sexuality because of its power over them. Men's response has been to repress female sexuality--hence "The Female Eunuch," her book on the topic.

Islamic proscriptions against women are an extreme example; more restrained examples may be found in western civilization.

You may disagree, but for what it's worth, there's one explanation.

All well and good, but the rhetorical question in #158 was specifically aimed at why certain societies do this, and others don't. I don't know how far back you have to go in European or Asian or even indiginous American history to find examples of this, if there's any recorded history of it happening at all. It's not a universal human practice that stopped with the great enlightment of the 1960's.

As I read the question, it's not "Why do Muslims alone practice female circumcision?" "Why are [bigoted word]s scared of pussy?" is a different and deeper question. It assumes an awareness that "fear of pussy" is the reason Muslims practice female circumcision.

My answer was that fear of pussy is actually not exclusive to Muslims but is arguably a much wider and time-honored phenomenon. (cf. the writings of Jerome and Augustine.) Female circumcision is but one response to it in the vast variety of responses.

For info on FGM outside Islam, Google "Victorian Clitoridectomy: Isaac Baker Brown and His Harmless Operative Procedure." Anthropological data on FGM in other, primitive societies is abundant.

Has anyone commented yet on the sheer ridiculousness of the whole Check For Size of Female External Organs to Determine Future Horniness doctor visit? I'd have found it much funnier if I hadn't been convinced the man is dead serious. An IQ test might mean something. A test of ability to delay pleasure for a future reward might mean something. But checking the size of something like that is like Chopping of Hands of Large Men because they are more likely to be able to Thieve. The real cause of thievery has nothing to do with physical externalities like that. Ditto external genitalia on horniness.

Dude, squarepeg,

Your arguments are interesting and well spoken, but I ask you this: how much pleasure can there be having sex with an infibulated woman?

To me, there is nothing sweeter in life than having a willing and enthuseastic sexual partner.

I can only imagine an infibulated woman would just look forward to sex as I would look forward to having a root canal without anesthetic.

This is a barbaric and inexcusable practice.

We, in the Civilized World should do what is required to bring this practice to an end.

Why is it always the women who need to be fixed? Why don't they castrate the men and boys? They seem to be the ones with the excessive testosterone and who are always out of control. By castrating the men, they would be more docile and peaceful and the females would probably have a better life. Then we would truly have peace in the moslem world.
