Arabia
Islam and Women: Honor The Father - or Else
EFL - RTWT
Western women have long wryly accepted that their mates rarely notice new outfits and new hairdos. Muslim males, by contrast, take a more intense interest in what female family members wear on their heads, what they put on their faces, how they wrap their bodies, who they shake hands with (no one) and talk to, and obsess more about their genitalia than British lap dance king Peter Stringfellow and the wardrobe chief for Caesar's Palace combined.

Little girls, who should be playing jump rope and taking tennis lessons, are forced to submerge their individuality in hot, uncomfortable, anonymous robes that severely limit movement. This is called teaching them to be "modest". They are made to attend school looking different, and apart, in their headscarves, a barrier, as it is intended to be, to integration.
I've often wondered what the cutoff is between childhood and hijab...is it a birthday, onset of menarche, or the whim of the family? Is there a ceremony, or does mom or dad come in one morning and say: "Here, put this on"?

All these elaborate protocols are done in the name of "protecting" women and girls from themselves. But the truth is, it is self-defense on the part of the Muslim man. To protect Muslim women, immigrant families to the West comply only 50 percent with normal Western dress codes. How often have I seen, in the south of France in the baking heat of summer, a North African family walking across a parking lot, daddy and the teenage son in smart Bermuda shorts, T-shirts and Reeboks, hair cut trendily short and gelled, as Western as you please, and lumbering along in their snappy wake, struggling with the shopping and the swathes of draperies, two or three ambulatory swathes of black sheeting.

#1  I believe, though I don't recall where I heard it and thus can't verify the accuracy, that it is the first menstruation, traditionally, but might also be ordered (by the father or imam) for other reasons, such as development of breasts, booty, etc., which do sometimes begin prior to menarche.

But... in the end it's about allure. You know there are numerous subtleties to it - it's not always just T&A. The "package" may be alluring without anyone being able to actually pinpoint individual aspects to explain it.

In simple speak: If she gives Daddy or the imam a woodie, or she menstruates, then it's time - whichever comes first. (pun unintentional)

Britain
Sunday's election is meagre payback for reducing Iraq to utter chaos
Long rambling rant cut. Some of the billions of Iraq's oil dollars now being stolen by American companies (see last night's astonishing BBC File on 4) must go to Iraqis. Does anyone have more information on this. Even more bizzare stuff cut.

#1  the mainstream media continues their march toward irrelevance. It's pretty hard to get past the fact that Saddam was one of the most brutal and ruthless leaders ever. But that won't stop the media from putting this meme forward. Slice it, dice it anyway you want, but the bottom line of their new talking points are that things were better off before the Americans got there.

Um, no. State sactioned rape rooms, torture chambers and genocide are hard to weasle around.

The MSM will repeat the lie and it will be parroted by Al Jiz and the ever shrinking number of losers on the left.

But more and more lefties are uncomfortable in backing tyrants over freedom and are beginning to wonder just what and whom they are defending.

#2  2b, has there been any instance where the MSM has even mentioned the rape rooms, tourture chambers, genocide, and general murder?

No.

So the MSM still clings to the notion that it controls 'all that you see and hear'.

#3  Simon Jenkins is The Times's pet moonbat. He gets it right approximately 10% of the time, as Stephen Pollard noted recently.

#4  I'm glad to hear that Bulldog. But unfortunately, this moonbattery is representative of large portions of what we read - here at home and abroad. No MSM outlet, even Fox, reminds the viewers of what was before. Not a single one.

#5  State sactioned rape rooms, torture chambers and genocide are hard to weasle around.

Hard but not impossible, so the media will still try.

#6  The lunatic writes in the Times.
The lunatic writes in the Times.
Accuse America of hideous war crimes.
Got to earn the moonbat writer's dime.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper brings their folded nonsense to my door
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the quagmire falters many years too soon
Republicans in charge upon the Hill
And if your head explodes from red-state voting too
I'll see you on the forums at DU.

#7  It's meagre, but hell, we're on a budget and there still 11 countries still on the list.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
USA — the God-Damned Country
'Murdering is Genetically Ingrained in American Culture'
This is from a paper with close ties to the ruling Turkish Islamist party. There's been a lot of debate here about how "islamist" Turkey is or isn't. I'm not claiming I have a lot of perspective, but my experiences in the Third World have always led me to believe that once you move past the urban elites, you're going to find a lot of backward-assed individuals. I also always remember that the real driving force of the Iranian revolution was the bazaaris -- the proto-middle class that should have been the class allies (in a Marxist analysis) of the US. The rest of the article is at the link.
During the [U.S.] invasion [of Iraq], when I said that the Iraqi people would resist, some said, 'You are wrong — see, no one resisted
' When the resistance did begin they said, 'They are only packs of murderers'
 It is obvious that in both cases, some want to blame the Iraqis, not America
 I wonder: If America had invaded Turkey 
 what would the Turks be doing? Would they prefer to kneel in front of Bush and his gang and surrender? Could proud patriots accept that?
Would you like us to invade? If you're successful with this spew, we might have to. Then we'll see what a brave little resistance fighter you are.
If there is anyone who says 'yes' to all this, I have nothing to say to 'them'
 And if there still remain any who look at the developments in Iraq through American lenses, I have nothing to say to them either
 Since 9/11 I have been saying
: "America invaded Iraq with 'packs of murderers'
 America went to Iraq solely to satisfy its murderous instincts. Murdering is genetically ingrained in American culture.
Well perhaps memetically ingrained. It's the football and the NASCAR, you see.
The second term of Bush's administration will prove this more clearly and concretely. A mere look at Fallujah will suffice: The American military is murdering thousands by destroying the city, on the pretext of eliminating the resistance in Fallujah.

"The Americans say they killed 1200 insurgents
 about 20 of them foreigners! Let's assume this is true
 If it is true, we should rejoice
 It means people from other countries believe in the just struggle of the Iraqi people and are going there to fight alongside them
 It means they are not tourists, or interested in making 'blood money'

20/1200 is not a large fraction, Islamo-boy. What this reveals is the usual pattern. Arab hard boyz show up with lots of Korans and money, recruit local gunnies, then split when it gets too hot for them leaving the sheep to the slaughter.
Let us not forget that some 40 countries have sent troops to Iraq in support of the American occupation
 Why is it that becoming an accomplice to America's murders is 'good,' but supporting and participating in the resistance of the Iraqi people is 'bad?' Or do some still see the resistance fighters as 'packs of murderers' or extremist radical Islamists
?
Read on for many blood curdling descriptions of muslim maidens deflowered, mosques defiled with the tread of kuffar feet, and gay Turkish pr0n (I just made up the last one). This is propaganda aimed at your typical 6th grade educated adult citizen of a developing country. As such it is well done. With just a little re-training, he could get a job at KCNA.

#3  So let's see. . .

He's condemning murder in the strongest terms possible. By defending Saddam. Who killed more muslims than all American fighters have killed. Ever.

Is he arguing for justice or against America. I think the latter.

#4  These are people who do not bat an eye when killing their own or minorities (labor workers). Whose prophet slaughtered (with his own hands) hundreds when taking over the other tribes of the time and Americans have a killing gene? Do these people listen to what they say? Unreal!

#5  It's true! Really!
In order to immigrate to the US, you have to submit a DNA sample, and if the missing chromosome ain't there (H8Te - It's the little, angry one jumping up and down screaming "Kill! Kill!"), you're shipped off to Canada!
The Joooos make us ship potential immigrants off if they are "defective", ie. they don't have that chromosome. They run everything, dontcha know.
(Of course, the author probably thinks EU membership for Turkey will happen any day now, too.)

#6  "We don't murder, we kill."

-Former Marine Lee Marvin, The Big Red One
Posted by: Jarhead || 02/02/2005 15:56 Comments || Top||

#7  By now Timur had captured 100,000 Hindus. As he prepared for battle against the Tughlaq army after crossing the Yamuna, his Amirs advised him "that on the great day of battle these 100,000 prisoners could not be left with the baggage, and that it would be entirely opposed to the rules of war to set these idolators and enemies of Islam at liberty". Therefore, "no other course remained but that of making them all food for the sword".

So as not be be bothered by having to guard 100,000 (2,000,000 in todays population) women and children captives, the Turks executed all of them the night before a battle. This is just one event in a conquest that spanned hundreds of years. Who is this Capo of the Turkish Islamist party to complain ’Murdering is Genetically Ingrained in American Culture’? Just who is this son of mass murderers in the name of islam, who wants to bring back islam as the law of the land, all lands?
