Pakistan sentences woman to be stoned to death for "illicit relations": walking together with a man

Just as the media outrage over the planned stoning of an accused adulteress in Iran is winding down, with the predictable claims that Islam doesn't sanction stoning, more Misunderstanders of Islam crop up, this time in Pakistan.

"WAF outraged at jirga's judgment of stoning to death," from the Daily Times, July 9 (thanks to Kisan):

LAHORE: Women's Action Forum (WAF) is outraged at reports of yet another "judgement of stoning to death due to illicit relations", pronounced by a self-styled jirga convened in Kala Dhaka, wherein it was alleged that a man and a woman were seen walking together in a field in Madakhail....

News Alert:

Muslim woman observed breathing, blinking eyes and flexing fingers.

Court orders 57 lashes, one for each state, 57 days in prison (solitary confinement) and mandated shackling to bed post when home and not on knees scrubbing husband's toe-nail fungus.

It's coming.

This is Sharia. This is Islam. Can the President please explain to me why on Earth it is necessary for the west to "reach out" to heirs of a murderous 7th century thug?

This is Sharia, the Law of Muhammad, the Law of Islam, the Law of Allah, the Law of Satan.

Just like those Taliban Virmins shooting and killing couple accused of adultery...in the name of Allah!

And a recent Pew Research Poll shows that the vast majority of Pakistani Muslims agree with that evil Islamic practise along with other vile and sick Islamic beliefs.

This can't be published enough.

"Self-styled" jirga—that gives the idea that somehow this jirga is not legitimate, unlike the other, properly—what? vetted jirgas? elected jirgas?

Actually, much of the "governance"—I use the term extremely loosely, for obvious reasons—in Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan is done by jirgas.

Typically, they just consist of a council of local Muslims who impose some version—more or less harsh—of Shari'ah law, depending on how savage the local customs are, and how "Islamically devout" they happen to be.

The American president himself is—bizarrely—a big fan of this form of unelected government:

http://www.america.gov/st/peacesec-english/2010/May/20100512143106esnamfuak0.9200861.html

The purpose of this "peace jirga" is to treat with *the Taliban*.

The Taliban, of course, stoned women to death the last time they were in power:

Although stoning is of course barbaric, Muslims control of female sexuality has served them very well while, I argue, that Westerners going to completely opposite extreme of permissiveness has ill-served them.

Ah, yes—can't have them wimmens running wild...

Has any one else noticed the body language is this photo of Obama and Karzai.Karzai stands straight and tall,right arm tucked into his side,arm slightly bent down,wrist slightly twisted so his hand is uppermost,forcing Obama to stretch out and to lean forward and down with his right hand pointing to the ground.

Once AGAIN your President bows to Islam.

I find 'have mercy''s open admiration of the sadism with which Islam - i.e. Mohammedan males - exercise their slavemaster-like 'control' over female sexuality, to be perfectly sickening.

For a reality check on sexuality in dar al Islam.

In The Red Zone
By Jamie Glazov

Excerpt:

'FP: One dark phenomenon you encountered in Iraq was the barbaric treatment of women by a culture controlled by tribal Islam. Tell us a bit about the suffering of women that you witnessed.

'Vincent: My experiences in Iraq, together with what I witnessed in Iran in 2000, led me to wonder why the civilized world doesn’t rise up en masse and say Enough!

'We will no longer tolerate the way that Muslim nations in the Middle East treat women! Alas, in today’s multicultural world, such outrage is impossible.

'Meanwhile, in Iraq the compass of women’s lives—their legal and social rights, hopes and dreams and image of themselves—slowly constricts.

'Criminals prey on females, forcing them to remain indoors after dark.

'Islamic clerics pressure them to don black abiyas—even when the heat tops 140 degrees.

'Tribal leaders and Shia imams agitate for shari’a—misogynistic Islamic law—to regulate every aspect of a woman’s existence.

'Polygamy, honor killings, divorce by repudiation, temporary marriages **(essentially religiously-sanctioned adultery)** {my emphasis - dda} have returned, at least as matters of serious discussion.

'What I learned from Nour—and what I discuss in much of In the Red Zone--is the psychic claustrophobia of Iraqi society.

'Reputation and virginity are everything—should a woman lose the first, she is ostracized from “good” society; lose the second before marriage and she risks being murdered by her “shamed” family. On the street, in restaurants, taxi cabs, mosques, and public place, men (and women) stare at females, waiting—hoping—they will do something that will disgrace themselves and fuel invidious gossip. “The relationships between Iraqi men and women are sadomasochistic,” Nour told me. From what I saw, she is right."...END QUOTE.

And another data point, from the Muslim 'community' in the UK:

'Hannah Shah', in 'The Imam's Daughter', recounts how her imam father, in the UK, **raped her repeatedly from the age of six** in order to 'punish' her.

Hannah Shah, The Imam’s Daughter

..."One day the Imam came home early and found a gori infidel in his house and gave his wife a memorable beating.

'A few weeks later Hannah tried to protect her mother so her father turned on her.

'She was 6 years old and from that day was punished regularly for her evil in tempting her father.

'Her punishments included **regular rape** {my emphasis - dda} and periods locked in the cellar.

'If she were to tell of what he did he threatened to kill her, and then such an evil dirty little girl like her {nota bene - this man who is raping his little daughter, is projecting his own vile lust and will-to-dominate-and-destroy, onto the little girl victim - dda} would go straight to hell.



'Her mother dealt with it by pretending it wasn’t happening.

She found nothing odd that Hannah had so many “nosebleeds” in such an odd part of the bed. "

THIS is that 'control of female sexuality', one must presume, that 'havemercy' admires to much??? An imam, offended because his six-year-old daughter tries to stop him beating his wife, 'punishing' said six-year-old daughter by **repeatedly raping her**??

And 'havemercy' asks us to ADMIRE that?? VOMIT. Perhaps 'have mercy' thinks that Hannah Shah *deserved* what her imam father did to her? Perhaps he thinks she was not obedient enough? That *every * insubordinate little girl ought to be raped, beaten, and locked in the cellar *by her father* until she 'behaves'??

From a lengthy e-file where I keep articles of a particular kind.

I call that file 'the laughter of women'. For it deals with Islam's obsessive terror of women as such; with Islam's violent and persistent blasphemy and deliberate desecration (by acts such as the exaltation of sodomy, gang rape-unto-death, and the ripping open of the pregnant belly) of that which different cultures have honoured by such names as the Shekhinah, the Ruach Adonai ('ruach', breath or Spirit, is in Hebrew a feminine noun), the Hagia Sophia/ Sancta Sophia/ Holy Wisdom, the Shakhti, the Kuan Yin.

Here is Bruce Dunne's 'Power and Sexuality in the Middle East'.
Bruce Dunne, “Power and Sexuality in the Middle East,” Middle East Report, Spring 1998.

http://www.merip.org/mer/mer206/bruce.htm

A couple of excerpts -
'According to Abdelwahab Bouhdiba, "institutional prostitution forms part of the secret equilibrium of Arabo-Muslim societies," necessary to their social reproduction.'

and

'Sex, that is, penetration, took place between dominant, free adult men and subordinate social inferiors: wives, concubines, boys, prostitutes (male and female) and slaves (male and female).

'**What was at stake was not mutuality between partners but the adult male's achievement of pleasure through domination**".

And:

'In the dysfunctional and morbid paradigms of this culture, the idea of love is, obviously, completely absent from men's understanding of sexuality.

'Like the essence of Arab [sic: I would say, **Muslim** - dda] masculinity, it is reduced to a form of prison sex: **hurting others with violence** {my emphasis - dda}.

'A gigantic rupture inevitably develops between men and women, where no harmony, affection or equality is allowed to exist'.

And:

'The anthropologist Malek Chebel, describing the Maghrib as marked by an "exaggerated machismo," claims that most men who engage in homosexual acts are functional bisexuals; they use other men as substitutes for women-and have great contempt for them.

'He adds that most Maghribis would consider far worse than participation in homosexual acts the presence of love, affection or equality among participants.

'Equality in sexual relations, whether heterosexual or homosexual, threatens the "hyper-masculine" order."

So 'have mercy' would have the West admire and emulate the kind of society where powerful men use other men as objects, with contempt, and also express a deep contempt for women, using them also as objects?

Let's reflect on the information Dunne adds in a footnote, re. the routine and severe sexual abuse of little girls in the Arab/ Muslim family (which is confirmed by the testimony of Hannah Shah, who suffered such abuse, and by the testimony of Wafa Sultan in 'A God Who Hates') -

'Author Nawal El Saadawi, gives an account of the horrifying and widespread sexual abuse of young girls in the Muslim-Arab world, a crime for which the perpetrators are exonerated. -- See Sadawwi, The Hidden Face of Eve: Women in the Arab World, pp.12-24.

'While it is obvious that this abuse, as with the abuse of young boys, is connected to the unavailability of women for men in the culture at large, Phyllis Chesler notes that **the widespread sexual abuse of female children in the Muslim world “is one of the main ways of traumatizing and shaming girls into obedience** {my emphasis - this is *exactly* how Hannah Shah’s father set out to brutalise her into submission, to break her spirit - dda} and rendering them less capable of rebellion or resistance when they grow up.” - Chesler, The Death of Feminism, p.145.

Symposium: To Rape an Unveiled Woman
By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | Tuesday, March 07, 2006

From that article:

'Female “provocation” in the Muslim society is usually a definition for the mildest behavior.

'Smiling, singing, talking, being alone for one minute in the same room as the rapist, having answered a question in an inappropriate way, wearing clothes which are not strictly in obedience with what is locally considered as the Muslim rules,
all of these innocent behaviors are seen as a misconduct authorizing “revenge.”

Hmmm. Does 'have mercy' condemn our refusal to emulate this sadistic, obsessive Mohammedan male attempt to control every tiny little thing a woman does? In our NOT punishing women for smiling, singing, talking in public?

From the same article:

'I interviewed Muslim women who justified wife beating because it is “educational.”
'These women were probably brutalized as little girls and are unable to know NOT to blame the unveiled woman victim.
'Every Muslim male and female that I have interviewed has experienced being beaten as a child and have witnessed the beating of their mother.'

More:

'The personal literary reports and the official UN analyses on Islamic family dynamics concur in a somewhat disquieting aspect.

'They confirm not only **the tendency to incest** {my emphasis - dda} but also an even stronger attitude towards anal sexuality, meaning an unusually high percentage of males preferring anal intercourse to vaginal, especially in the framework of "normal" marital life...There is no "culture" in the world where more married people practice anal intercourse than in Islam".

And one Eussner observes: 'The message given to the Muslim women in Muslim and in Western countries is: you don't ask for nothing, neither for equal treatment nor for liberty, otherwise you will be punished, i.e. beaten and raped.

'A disobedient woman is outlawed.

'The high percentage of gang raping is due to the cowardliness of the young Muslim men, in France named "les jeunes", the youngsters. As their religion is never appreciating the individuum as such, but only as part of the Ummah, "les jeunes" are not strong enough on their own, so they are acting as representatives of the Ummah, fighting unbelievers, disobedient and unveiled women."

Does 'have mercy' **admire** a society in which men have such contempt for women, and such fear of them, that they 'punish' women by...gang raping them?

Pierre Rehov, in the same Front Page interview, reports: 'Inside the Palestinian territories, I collected a lot of different stories involving raping of an innocent girl who later on was slaughtered by her own father or cousin, because she had lost her virginity.

'This example to say that, in Muslim culture, values exist, but the line between good and evil is drawn somewhere else, far away from our understanding."

I do not - unlike have mercy - have any admiration whatsoever for a society in which men can rape a woman and then murder her afterward. I do not admire or respect a society in which a mother can murder a girl for the 'crime' of having been incestuously raped by brothers...while allowing said incest-rapist brothers to escape scot-free.

I find such a society to be nothing but an abomination from beginning to end.

If 'havemercy' is sickened by societies such as ours, that permit unrelated women and men to work together and walk together, that permit a woman to choose her own mate and make her own mistakes, that punish the rapist not the raped, and that condemn incestuous sexual abuse as a crime (and, again, punish the offender not the victim), and if he thinks us inferior to the 'control' of the sadomasochistic Mohammedan societies, then I suggest he move to Saudi Arabia or Iran, recite the shahada, and sign up for the 'virtue police' so he can beat and abuse and get under control all them wicked wimmens.

As you hate Westerners so much, off you go to the hateful and backward Islamic tarpit that you came from, barbaric, leeching, parasitical savage.

have mercy sez: "... I argue, that Westerners going to the completely opposite extreme of permissiveness has ill-served them."


Of couse the western women aren't being flogged or stoned....and they can drive cars, wear makeup, wear jeans, have jobs, they can socialize, they can collect death benefits, they can own their own businesses, they can choose their husband and so many other things.....

Islamic women ...well,...they can be Islamic women completely entitled to all that Islam offers them...which is generally not much at all....

If she had been breastfeeding him instead of going for a walk, it would have been all right.

I do not - unlike have mercy - have any admiration whatsoever for a society in which men can rape a woman and then murder her afterward.

Great examples DDA, of the most putrid and evil people, culture, and religion that has ever existed. The comment above reminds me of the demon Khomeni's little book of rules for correct islamic behavior, in which he says it is fine for muslim men to fornicate with animals but they must kill them afterwards and cannot sell the meat to locals but can sell it in another village or town. Women are often raped and murdered but their corpses are as worthless as their live bodies and are treated with the same contempt. So it's fair to assume that animals are more valuable to muslims than women.

...Muslims control of female sexuality has served them very well...
.................

I have to take issue with this, as well, Have Mercy.

Has oppressing women really served Muslims "very well"?

The West has its problems, certainly, but they are generally wealthy, economically dynamic societies—even with the current financial mess. This is at least in part due to the wide participation of women at all levels of the work force.

There are many reasons that the Muslim world is so stagnant economically—but one major reason is that half the populace is especially poorly educated and restricted either mostly to low-level work, or barred from working entirely.

The West is also, overall, much healthier than the Muslim world—due at lest in part to the fact that mothers are in better health, are not infibulated and hence prone to all sorts of medical problems, dangerous to both the mother and the baby. Women who are better educated and do not need their husband's permission to leave the house are much more likely to get medical care for their children when they need it, as well.

Then there are the crippling psychological aspects. Muslim marriages—forced marriages, child marriages, arranged marriages between strangers—are actually engineered to be loveless.

As a result, many Muslim women turn to their sons for affection, and wind up doting on them and spoiling them, while often abusing or neglecting their daughters.

Many Muslim boys find this terribly confusing, as they are typically abused and treated harshly by their fathers. By the time they are old enough to enter school, they realize that the only ones who gave them love and approval are thoroughly despised by society.

If you want to see typical results of this dysfunctional paradigm, read Ayaan Hirsi Ali's account of her brother in "Infidel".

The "control" of women also leads to large numbers of frustrated young men, unable to marry or even meet and date girls. This group is ripe for exploitation by Jihadists—and are especially likely to be tempted by those 72 virgins.

I could go on. Even if you just look at this from the point of view of Muslim men, I do not believe the "control of women's sexuality" has in any way "served them well".

I know you have written some good posts in the past, Have Mercy, and I hope you can re-think this.
