Afghan defender of women's rights, hailed by Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, has actually jailed over 100 women for adultery

But she apparently she didn't have them stoned to death in accord with Islamic law. So relax: she's a "moderate." "Afghan 'Woman of Courage' hailed by Michelle Obama for defending women's rights has actually JAILED 100 wives for 'adultery,'" by Eddie Wrenn in the Daily Mail, October 22 (thanks to Anne Crockett):

Last year she was hailed as one of the most influential people in the world - a defender of women's rights as Afghanistan's only female head prosecutor.

Ms Bashir has been lauded by both Michelle Obama and Hilary Clinton - and she was one of ten women to receive a 'Women of Courage' Award in Washington last year.

But Maria Bashir's reputation is now in doubt after the Times revealed that Ms Bashir is also the most prolific prosecutor of women for Afghanistan's so-called 'moral' crimes, such as adultery.

While Ms Bashir campaigns against abuse husbands, more than half of the 172 women jailed in Afghanistan for sex outside of marriage (known as 'zina') have come from her province.

The Herat province's population stands at an estimated 1.7million, and Afghanistan as a whole has a population of 35million.

Last week Ms Bashir, who became lead prosecutor in 2006, and has prosecuted nearly a thord of the 78 women jailed for murder in Afghanistan, was promoted to become Herat's attorney-general.

The Times said diplomats are 'shocked' by the extraordinary tally of women imprisoned for adultery.

It further says that 101 out of 136 women serving in Herat's women jail are there for adultery, one of the moral crimes which campaigners for women's rights are trying to remove from Afghanistan.

When she received her award, the two presidential wives said: 'Ms Bashir has waged a determined campaign against crime and corruption.

'She stands out as a champion of judicial transparency and women's rights, and exemplifies the resilience of Afghan women.'

When the Times contacted Ms Bashir, she said she was unaware that her prosecution rate was so much higer [sic] than other provinces, but blamed it on her province's closeness to the border with Iran.

She said: 'If it is higher it's because we are bordered with Iran, which culturally influences Afghans.'

Of course. It is always someone else's fault.

WOW

It looks like someone dropped the ball ….

Who was sleeping on the job ?

A not so devout Muslim, because he has not flogged them:

Allah, Quran 24:2 "The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication flog each of them with a hundred stripes"

http://schnellmann.org/a-woman-is-worth-one-half-a-man-to-allah.html

"...And in case of married male committing adultery with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes (Q.24:2) and be stoned to death." Saheeh (i.e. "sound", "reliable") Muslim Book 17, Number 4191

http://schnellmann.org/islamic-stoning-to-death-rajam.html

How about the male partners -- the married ones, anyway -- of these adultresses? Has Ms. Bashir jailed any of them?

Just as well they aren't bordered with Israel. Otherwise, guess what?

because it borders Iran? what kind of logic is this? there is so much adultery going on in Iran it not even funny and it is called Sigheh, which is the islamic form of prostitution where a man can marry another woman as short as one hour!!! Islamist and duplitios!!!
m

So many Western leaders are weenies. Where are the better leaders?

Hey it takes two to tango, so where are the men? And, yes, I'm being somewhat facetious here. But it does beg the question, where are "adulterous" men in all these cases? Oh that's right! ...muslim men are always innocent, and the women guilty, no matter what. Oh heavens I forgot!

islam, where truth and justice do not exist ...

Speak of the Devil!

I'm reading Jihad Watch today by going down article-by-article; and what do I see coming right after the previous article above, in which I commented about how Muslim women should not be considered by us any less fanatically dangerous than Muslim men (although too many of us continue to sentimentalize the fairer sex when it's Muslim)?

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/10/uk-muslims-misunderstood-islam-planned-another-911.html#comment-913666

This story here, of the Afghanistani female Muslim "women's rights" advocate who herself has had women jailed for "adultery" -- i.e., she's a fanatic supporter of sharia herself.

Islam is tailor made for men only. it is a man's club!!!

So right, my friend :)

Westerners are so pathetically desperate to laud "moderates" that this sort of thing happens all the time. How many Muslims have we "partnered with" or given awards to who turn out to be violent, antisemitic, Shari'ah-endorsing Jihadists?

At this point, I actually believe it is more common than not...

A 1970s book of feminist humor called "Titters" lampooned just this insanity, when they (supposedly) gave an award to the notorious Nazi Ilsa Koch because they were running out of "prominent" women to showcase. The satirical article ended with an impassioned plea for suggestions, because they were running out of plausible candidates, and you could only toast Eleanor Roosevelt just so many times.

But you don't even have to satirize this insanity when it comes to Muslims.

.............................

Let that last sink in. Almost *75%* of women imprisoned in Afghanistan are in jail for "adultery". These figures are, incidentally, almost identical to neighboring Pakistan's.

And remember, much of what is called "adultery" in the Muslim world is nothing we would recognize as such. It can include premarital relations between unmarried partners, mere socializing with members of the opposite sex, refusing to obey a husband, and resisting forced marriage.

Iran is a Shari'ah state, which sometimes *stones women to death* for "adultery". Is she implying that the "Islamic Republic of Iran" is a hotbed of sin? I believe the Mullahs would take issue with that...

I realize that this has nothing to do with the headline, but the "Oops" caption offers a double meaning for me, Michele's awful outfit! ..yet another fashion *don't* from the first lady, and hopefully our last. I'm ready for a change, how about you?!

Just what I was thinking, Champ. What on earth is she wearing, I thought. Probably hugely expensive too, this nightmarish post-modern shroud.
Oops, indeed.

michelle - cut the crap and put on a burkha - you and your hubby need to just come out already as the muzz you are...

If Obama came out of the Muslim closet (not to mention the bisexual closet) definitively, he'd need some coaching:

1) make sure you transform your pet dogs into "hunting" dogs who are only allowed to roam the White House lawns

2) consult with Yusuf Islam on how you can still enjoy your ipod selections of Stevie Wonder without breaking the law

...

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to change a thing he's doing!

Hi, PJG ...yeah that top is just 'hanging' on her and it's very unattractive. Okay so not only does Michele have poor taste in clothes, but she has poor taste in men, as well. Got it!

islam is tailor-made for sick, twisted and deviant gamma-males with pretentions of machismo and possessing blown-glass fragile egos.

Men, have nothing to do with islam aside from despising it.

One of our no-nonsense Catholic posters, Isabellathecrusader, called Islam "Mo's Worship-The-Penis Club".

I realize the many of the Jihadwatchers, and most other anti-Jihadists, may not want to know the following facts, but, the following facts listed in the following articles document the reason why the Western establishment is, and has been, colluding with, and enabling, the Islamic Jihad.

It's not the Islamic Jihad itself that's the main threat. The main threat is the ("Right-Wing" and "Left-Wing") Western establishment's support of, and enablement of, the Islamic Jihad.

Is the US an ally of Israel? - A chronological look at the evidence, by Francisco Gil-White
http://www.hirhome.com/israel/hirally.htm

"Around the world, there is a striking convergence of opinion concerning the relationship between the US and Israel.

"Supporters of the PLO - synonymous with 'supporters of a Palestinian state', because the PLO will run any such state - are convinced that the US is an ally of Israel. Some believe the US employs Israel in order to expand the American empire, and others - echoing the claims of that infamous forgery, 'The Protocols of Zion' - believe that history's greatest superpower, the US, is actually the pawn of tiny Israel. Either way, they are agreed that the US and Israel are supposedly 'a team.'

"Supporters of Israel naturally disagree with supporters of the PLO about most things but not on this point, as they also believe that the US is a friend of Israel - perhaps its only real friend. Whereas those who are pro-PLO are especially infuriated by perceived US support for Israel, those who are pro-Israel are deliriously grateful for the same (especially so in the case of Zionist Jews).

"Given that across the spectrum of those politically mobilized on this issue, from one pole to the other, everybody appears to have the same opinion on this, casual observers are naturally drawn into agreement as well, creating a crushing consensus all over the world: the US is an ally of Israel.

"But is it true?

"Let us first ask: what is an ally? My dictionary defines 'ally' as 'one who is associated with another as helper.'

"Everybody knows that the US says it supports Israel. But actions speak louder than words. What is the evidence of US actions? In this piece I provide a chronological list of relevant US policies over the years. ..."

The Secret War Against the Jews, by John Loftus and Mark Aarons
http://books.google.com/books/about/The_secret_war_against_the_Jews.html?id=trU7nY-T-4EC

"The authors demonstrate that numerous Western countries, especially the United States and Great Britain, have conducted repeated and willful spying missions on Palestine* and later Israel over many decades. While on the surface these two countries and others profess to be ardent allies of Israel, they work, in fact, through their intelligence services to betray Israel's secrets to the Arabs. Their motive: oil and multinational profits, which must be attained at any price through international covert policies. To understand the duplicitous nature of the West's diplomatic relations with Israel, the authors contend that one must understand the history that begins after the end of World War I with the sordid Mideast exploits of a British diplomat, Jack Philby. They then proceed into a detailed discussion of the boardrooms of American and English bankers and lawyers who had strong connections with Nazi leaders and Arab oil tycoons in the 1930s prior to the outbreak of World War II. Particularly intriguing is the information that the writers present to suggest an all-too-cozy financial relationship that existed between the Allied intelligence community and German banks even during the war. One of the authors' chief contentions is that Israel was the unwitting victim of bungled Western spy operations such as Iran-Contra and BCCI, whose true dimensions have never previously been exposed. A consistent theme is that the White House and the British Secret Service have repeatedly run illegal programs, hidden from both the CIA and Congress, and then used the Jews as scapegoats."

America's Nazi Secret: An Insider's History, by John Loftus
http://www.amazon.com/Americas-Nazi-Secret-Insiders-History/dp/1936296047

"Fully revised and expanded, this stirring account reveals how the U.S. government permitted the illegal entry of Nazis into North America in the years following World War II. This extraordinary investigation exposes the secret section of the State Department that began, starting in 1948 and unbeknownst to Congress and the public until recently, to hire members of the puppet wartime government of Byelorussia—a region of the Soviet Union occupied by Nazi Germany. A former Justice Department investigator uncovered this stunning story in the files of several government agencies, and it is now available with a chapter previously banned from release by authorities and a foreword and afterword with recently declassified materials."

People -- Westerners and non-Westerners -- who are not Jewish who do not hold severe antipathetic bigoted wrong views about Jewish people and who don't feel antipathy toward the Jewish people are not aware of the magnitude and severity and danger of Western bigoted antipathy toward the Jewish people. Bigoted antipathetic wrong views about the Jewish people are a deeply engrained part of Western culture. The holding of bigoted antipathy toward the Jewish people is widespread and common in Western societies -- and is commonly held by, and is propagated most influentially by, and is held most dangerously by, the members of the governing social classes of Western societies.

Stop the Western racist war against Israel, and you stop the Western collusion with, and enablement of, the Islamic Jihad, and you stop the Islamic Jihad.

As a non-Jew, I'm trying to do my bit, Daniel. It is indeed shocking and widespread, that of which you write. I am ashamed of my own people.
