New Law in Afghanistan Allows Man to Starve his Wife to Death if She Doesn’t Put Out

All cultures and religions are the same though. Remember that while you read this:

Western leaders and Afghan women’s groups were united in condemning an apparent reversal of key freedoms won by women after the fall of the Taliban.

Now an amended version of the same bill has passed quietly into law with the apparent approval of President Karzai.

Just ahead of this Thursday’s Afghan presidential election, human rights groups suggest the timing is no accident.

“There was a review process – Karzai came under huge pressure from all over the world to amend this law, but many of the most oppressive laws remain,” Rachel Reid, the Human Rights Watch representative in Kabul, told the BBC.

When women marched against this travesty Muslim “men” physically attacked them on the streets.

But our culture is no more or less misogynist and barbaric according to some. Maybe the wives out there in Afghanistan would like to trade places with those people.

More Footage of Democrat Christianist Loretta Sanchez Using Prayer Rally to Stifle Dissent and Promote Communism

YouTube Channel CleanUp DC has even more footage of Democrat Christianist Loretta Sanchez’s Christian Falange meeting in which she uses a church meeting to promote her Americanized Bolivarian political agenda.

Separation of church and state be damned. Where’s Andrew Sullivan when you need him?

SEIU Attacks: White-Led Union Thugs Attack Black Conservative at St. Louis Town Hall Meeting

All you Uncle Toms (Jesse Taylor and Pam Spaulding I’m looking at you) on the left can look at this and see what your White friends will treat you like if you ever step out of line:

As an aside, that’s the kind of beating you can expect if you vote down gay marriage again Black folks. And yes it will be administered by some SEIU house negro at the direction of five or six Whites, just like this attack. Six people were arrested related to this violent assault, including a reporter for the St. Post-Louis Dispatch. I guess suppressing Blacks is taught in J school now. The Post-Dispatch has already spun the arrests, burying the assault at the bottom of a piece where the reporter claims the GOP was at fault for their own abuse at the hands of Union thugs:

The six people were arrested after confrontations outside the school, said county police spokesman Rick Eckhard. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started, Eckhard said.

Post-Dispatch reporter Jake Wagman, who was covering the event and shooting video for stltoday.com, was arrested for interference.

[…]

In a prepared statement released Friday morning, (Rep Russ) Carnahan said: “Sadly we’ve seen stories about disrupters around the country, and we have a handful of them here in Missouri. Instead of participating in a civil debate, they have mobilized with special interests in Washington who have lined their pockets by overcharging Americans for a broken health care system.”

“I will continue to engage with constituents that I am honored to represent in Congress and fight to achieve long-overdue health insurance reform in our country,” Carnahan said.

Engage them by sicking union thugs on them? Carnahan claims the protesters weren’t civil but how many of his supporters got sent to the emergency room? Black man Kenneth Gladney had to do his interview from an emergency room, but I guess since he won’t support socialized health care he has it coming:

Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack.

“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.

Members of the local Tea Party Coalition, a movement that has emerged to counter Obama’s policies, had urged their members to attend Carnahan’s forum, which in turn spurred Democrats to establish a strong presence.

Inside the gathering, while speakers stuck to aging issues, they were often interrupted by yells from audience members who wanted to shift the focus to health care.

“This isn’t even close to civil,” said Steve Belosi, 52, of Lake Saint Louis, commenting on the crowd. “The rudeness was beyond compare.”

As rude as sending a man to the hospital? I notice no Democrats (perhaps we can call them Fascists now) have criticized the beating of Gladney. And what kind of people, aside from the fat degenerates from SEIU, were involved in Gladney’s beating:

One of those arrested was Brian Matthews, 34, of St. Louis city, who works as a rehabber and previously worked on a campaign for a Texas statehouse candidate.

“I feel like it was a bull rush,” Matthews said. “It all came from behind.”

Matthews said he had been inside the forum because he is in favor of a public option for health care. He had attended with a friend, a 51-year-old woman. After it was over, they were walking outside and had a run-in with a man who was trying to videotape them. Matthews said that man from from the GOP. They reported the man to a police officer, who seemed uninterested, Matthews said.

As the pair walked to their car, they saw a man on the street who looks like he had been assaulted. Police surrounded him.

“My friend took pictures,” Matthews said, “and an officer told her not to. She contested that.”

Matthews said he and his friend walked away, arm in arm. The officer followed them, and Matthews friend exchanged words with the officer, Matthews said.

“I can’t tell you how many police officers charged us from behind,” Matthews said. “I was pushed to the ground by one. I was pushed into the back of somebody who was walking away.”

Matthews said he was told he was arrested for interference. His friend was maced “after she was subdued by the police,” Matthews said. She vomited on the side of the road, then later vomited more in the police car, he said.

In other words, Matthews and his whore, I mean lady friend, tried to get some random guy arrested based on a crazy conspiracy theory and when the cops wouldn’t take the bait they jumped some Black guy and tried to keep the cops from arresting someone. Disgusting.

Newsbusters has more. If you’re attending a town hall, be ready to defend yourself. I’ll be going to a couple of my local ones and I’m not coming unprepared.

“Cruising” Legal in Ohio Wildlife Preserves

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, “cruising” is an activity in which men lurk about public restrooms, parks or other isolated places in the hopes of pairing up to either engage in some sex act or most often, as anyone who’s walked into a men’s room at the wrong time can attest to, stand around masturbating in groups. It is an unseemly phenomenon that most men soon learn to deal with with a raised eyebrow or disgusted sneer designed to make the erstwhile cruiser, genitalia in hand, move on to more receptive pastures.

My tendency is to shrug off cruising as the price we pay for living in a society where we are tolerant of different lifestyles and prosperous enough that many people seem to have too much time on hand to get up to no good. If I had children however I might feel differently if a hike through nature included coming across a hustler fellating some “straight” guy who thinks he’s not gay if he pays for it once a week from a man in a dress. If in a spiteful mood I might find a cop and have the people arrested.

Unless of course I was in the JoCo Wildlife Preserve. Then for some reason having sex in public is perfectly legal:

The blog referred to has the law for you to read. Basically because the assumption of people in a forest is that no one is around (something only people in raised in cities believe. There’s always someone in the woods with you) they technically aren’t breaking indecent exposure law because in Ohio you need intent to be seen by someone for the act to be illegal.

I’m not one to take the LaBarbera line but on this I break with my gay friends. This is childish and disgusting behavior that should be reviled by any adult with morals.

Muslims Are Allowed to Eat Mermaids Under Most Islamic Jurisprudence

 mermaid-whore-ready-to-be-eaten.jpg

Yes, Muslims are allowed to participate in quasi-cannibalism under their understanding of their clearly evil god’s code of behavior. Let’s pretend for a moment Mermaids exist. These would be half-human half fish women who, while dangerous and cannibalistic in their own right, would be sentient beings capable of communicating with humans. And the Muslim answer to such a wondrous experience is to eat those women.

You don’t need to be Freud to figure this one out. From Islam QA via Jihad Watch:

A mermaid is a creature that lives in water and looks like a human. As to whether it really exists or it is a mythical being, that is subject to further discussion.

It says in a footnote in al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (5/129): From the modern academic resources that are available to us, it may be understood that the mermaid, which is called Sirène in French, is a mythical creature that is described in fairy tales as having an upper body like a woman and a lower half like a fish.

[…]

Many of the fuqaha’ mentioned mermaids and differed on the ruling concerning them. Some of them said that they are permissible (to eat) because of the general meaning of the evidence which says that whatever is in the sea is permissible. This is the view of the Shaafa’is and Hanbalis, and is the view of most of the Maalikis and of Ibn Hazm and others. And some of them regarded it as haraam because it is not a kind of fish. This is the view of the Hanafis and of al-Layth ibn Sa’d.

Ibn Hazm (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Muhalla (6/50): As for that which lives in the water and cannot live anywhere else, it is all halaal no matter what state it is in, whether it is caught alive and then dies, or it dies in the water and then floats or does not float, whether it was killed by a sea creature or a land animal. It is all halaal to eat, whether it is the pig of the sea (i.e., a dolphin), a mermaid, or a dog of the sea (i.e., shark) and so on. It is halaal to eat, whether it was killed by an idol-worshipper, a Muslim, a kitaabi (Jew or Christian) or it was not killed by anyone. The proof of that is the verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And the two seas (kinds of water) are not alike: this is palatable, sweet and pleasant to drink, and that is salt and bitter. And from them both you eat fresh tender meat (fish)” [Faatir 35:12] and “Lawful to you is (the pursuit of) water game and its use for food — for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel” [al-Maa’idah 5:64]. Allaah spoke in general terms and did not exclude anything, “and your Lord is never forgetful” [Maryam 19:64]. End quote.

Al-Durayr – a Maaliki scholar – said in al-Sharh al-Sagheer (2/182): Sea animals in general are permissible, whether it is dead meat or a ‘dog’ (shark) or a ‘pig’ (dolphin), and they do not need to be slaughtered properly. End quote.

Al-Saawi said in his commentary on that: The words “or a ‘dog’ or a ‘pig’ also include a ‘human’, referring thereby to mermaids. End quote.

Read the whole ruling as it gets more disturbing. As an aside it is simply insane to claim it should be an accepted practice to eat fish you find dead of unknown causes, and the above seems to indicate Muslims can eat alive, including mermaids. Again, you need not be Freud to get a handle on what we’re talking about here.

But think about this for a second. A Muslim comes across a beautiful naked woman with a fish tail instead of legs on a beach and technically he can begin tearing out chunks of her flesh while she’s still alive and it’s considered acceptable behavior? This is a religion worthy of universal respect? This is a religion above criticism? I’m an Islamophobe for being disgusted by this?

How would people treat Christians if they were allowed to rape any elf or fairy they caught? What would people think of Jews if they went on an annual hunt to try to catch and eat Santa Claus? Though you know such a thing wouldn’t be possible, wouldn’t you be able to make a judgment about the religion, or at least its adherents, just from what they considered acceptable? With Islam, however, no matter how many bizarre and barbaric practices they promote we in the West are steadfast in not passing any kind of value judgment, no matter how badly needed that judgment is.

I just hope Bambi the Mermaid has extra security at the next Coney island Mermaid Parade.
