Celebrating Diversity: Do We Celebrate Child Marriage Too?

Ms. Magazine Runs Mock Cover Highlighting Child Brides in Islam

In what could only be called a pig-flying moment (no halal pun intended), Ms. Magazine has published a mock magazine cover featuring “child brides.” And while it doesn’t specifically say Islam, it screams it — from the hijab to the references to Yemen ( an Islamic country) and acid attacks (notoriously Islamic).So many Muslim countries under the sharia allow child marriage, in accordance with  Muhammad’s preferences for child brides.Just last week, women in Iraq protested new sharia legislation approved by the Iraqi cabinet that would permit the marriage of nine-year-old girls (the age Muhammad consummated his marriage with his favorite wife, Aisha)  and automatically give child custody to fathers.

And while it wasn’t Ms. Magazine’s idea, they were picking up the post from a crowdfunder site, they did run it, and for a sharia-compliant media, that is something.

Who needs childhood anyway?

Catapult backs up the covers with compelling statistics:

  • 14 million young girls will be forced into child marriages this year.
  • In New York City, the average age a girl first falls victim to commercial sexual exploitation is only 13.
  • An estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked into slavery each year, the majority being girls.

Amid missing plane crisis, Islamic groups want Muslim rules on MAS flights

March 10, 2014, The Malay Mail Online

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 — A lawyers group today urged Malaysia Airlines (MAS) to introduce Muslim prayers before flights and for flight hostesses to be dressed according to Islamic standards.

With the flag carrier still grappling with the crisis of its missing flight MH370, the Malaysian Muslim Lawyers Association also sought for the airlines to refrain from serving alcohol aboard its flights.

“Everything that happens on Earth and in the sky is Allah’s decision. We pray that Allah gives us signs and pointers so that the passengers can be found,” PPMM said in statement here.

Wikipedia: Despite the painting's illusion of reality, "such a jihad, or holy war, would never have been called for in a mosque"

The reality is of course that every jihad is called from the mosque. That’s what mosques are for.

Interior of a Mosque at Cordova

Edwin Lord Weeks (1849–1903)

Preaching the holy war against the Christians, the old Moor holds aloft the green flag of Mohammed while he curses the “dogs of Christians” with true religious fervor, and calls upon Mohammed to drive them out of Spain…

And the Wiki-tards would have us believe that Muselmaniacs don’t do what they have done for 14 centuries:

784px-Edwin_Lord_Weeks_-_Interior_of_a_Mosque_at_Cordova_-_Walters_37169Click on image to enlarge!

After studying in Paris with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Léon Bonnat, Weeks emerged as one of America’s major painters of orientalist subjects. He was an inveterate traveler and journeyed to South America (1869), Egypt and Persia (1870), Morocco (frequently between 1872 and 1878), and India (1882-83). This work, set in the 8th-century great mosque of Cordova in Spain, may have been begun in 1880 while Weeks was staying in that city. In Weeks’ estate sale catalogue, the scene was described as follows: Preaching the holy war against the Christians, the old Moor holds aloft the green flag of Mohammed while he curses the “dogs of Christians” with true religious fervor, and calls upon Mohammed to drive them out of Spain. Despite the painting’s illusion of reality, such a jihad, or holy war, would never have been called for in a mosque.

Who will shake Monica Attard's Ivory Tower?

Monica Attard is a typical ABC moonbat. Leftards  like her will still hold the candle for the imams when they put them in their freedom sack and treat them like animals. But at least some of the darker facts seem to register now with their cheer squad. Maybe all hope is not lost?
monica-attard1Her readers seem to be far better informed than this  five-time Walkley award-winning Australian journalist. She’s also the lucky recipient of an Order of Australia for services to journalism. Monica has hosted the ABC’s PM, the World Today and Media Watch as well as Sunday Profile. She spent 28 years at the ABC….

“She spent 28 years at the ABC….”

No wonder. Deeply marinated in multiculti juice and groupthink.

Geert Wilders, whom she calls “The Dutch Messiah”, must be ‘racist’ because he is blond and stands his ground against the Islamsation of the world.  Monica doesn’t bother to mention that Wilders has multiple fartwas on his head and is forced to live in hiding in his own country, protected by 10 bodyguards at all times. Thanks to the Mohammedan crime syndicate called Islam that Monica says we must not fear.

Attard = retard.

Child Brides and the Dutch Messiah

By Monica Attard/March 9, 2014

Australian women marched on Saturday to mark International Women’s Day, bringing attention to what still needs to be done here to achieve equality.

women-protestors

But lets hear it from Monica:

the plight of women in Iraq has suffered blow, after blow, after brutal blow. 

Yes.

This sad and frightening attempt to strike another blow to the constitutional and international human rights of Iraqi women will presumably be welcomed news to the Q-Society here in Australia, which describes itself as a civil rights organisation.

No.

It claims to respect free speech, unless it is a Muslim who is exercising that right. It is vehemently critical of Islam.

Monica, we oppose censorship. We oppose falsehood and lies, whether it comes from the leftist journaillie or from Muselmaniacs. If the Q-Society is “is vehemently critical of Islam” they have every right to be, because Muslims do not come to Australia (or any other place) to become Australians. Muslims come to Australia to make us Islamic.

The Q-Society is behind a move to start a new political party here called the Australian Liberty Alliance, which has the explicit blessing of the silver-haired leader of Holland’s extreme right wing anti-Islamist Party of Freedom, Geert Wilders.

That’s what bothers Monica and her fellow travellers more than anything.

A new political party that’s got ‘Liberty’ in it, “silver haired”,  and “extreme right wing anti-Islamist”- can you smell the sulphur?

Monica, you are a lunatic. Geert Wilders is a Social Democrat. His party is presently the strongest in the Netherlands and if there were elections tomorrow he would be the PM.

We don’t ‘demand’ respect (like Muselmaniacs do), but we demand accuracy and facts instead of leftist spin. Australians have had enough of leftist BS to last for generations. Lift your game!

Dutch Messiah, read it all….

Thailand: Muslims Fear 'Backlash' For Setting Murdered Buddhist Woman On Fire

Muslims shoot Buddhist teacher, then douse her in gasoline and set her on fire

“She is apparently a victim of the insurgency, not personal issues, because the suspects scattered fliers with anti-Buddhist messages before they fled.” World attention, however, focuses entirely on Muslims as victims of unprovoked (that is, according to the mainstream media narrative) Buddhist aggression. In that narrative, Muslims are the victims of unprovoked aggression the world over. Non-Muslims gratuitously decided to attack them for no reason whatsoever. What is remarkable about this ludicrous narrative is how widely it is believed.

“Muslim insurgents shoot then set on fire Buddhist teacher in Thailand,” by Cheryl K. Chumley for theWashington Times, March 14 (thanks to JW):

A 42-year-old Buddhist teacher on her way to school in southern Thailand on Friday was targeted and shot twice in the head, then doused in gasoline and set on fire by suspected Muslim insurgents.

In the Philippines, they  (still) hope that a gravy train loaded with jiziya can stop the jihad:

Philippine gov’t, Moro Muslims to sign peace deal
Philippine gov't, Moro Muslims to sign peace deal

The peace agreement is to end a conflct that claimed at least 120,000 lives.

(And pigs will fly)

The peace agreement between the Philippines government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will be signed on March 27, Philippine presidential advisor confirmed Friday.

“After 17 long years of arduous negotiations, we are finally arriving at a political settlement that will seal enduring peace and progress in Mindanao,” said Teresita Quintos Deles said in a statement.–World Bull/ News Desk

'Al Andalus was not a tolerant and enlightened society even in its most cultivated epoch'

There never were 16oo mosques in Cordoba. It never had 900 public baths. There never was a “Moorish culture”.  There never was a library that held 400.000 books. Islam never cared for books other than Koran, sira and hadith.

Journalistic Malpractice: Time Magazine’s Bobby Ghosh and CNN’s Ali Velshi on “Cordovan Ecumenism” in Muslim Spain

by Andrew Bostom

The original Visigothic Church of St. Vincent, then Mosque of Cordoba, now Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption

Yesterday (Thursday 8/19/10) during the 1 PM hour CNN’s “Newsroom,” thisexchange took place between CNN reporter Ali Velshi and Time Magazine’s deputy international editor Bobby Ghosh:

  • VELSHI: The name Cordoba- some people are associating it with Muslim rule and bloody battles, when, in fact, Cordoba was one of the finest times in relations between the major religions.
  • GHOSH: Exactly right- in interfaith discourse-
  • VELSHI: Yeah-
  • GHOSH: And the great mosque of Cordoba that people are talking about and that Newt Gingrich was talking about- the man who built it, the Muslim prince who built it, bought it from a Christian group- paid money for it and bought it from a Christian group. And there was not a lot of alarm and anger raised then.

These statements are journalistic malpractice—ahistorical, whitewashed drivel—compounded by Ghosh’s ad hominem attack on Newt Gingrich.

'Backlash' in Nigeria: 270 Boko Haram Headbangers Meet Virgins

Nigerian forces killed 207 Boko Haram rebels jihadists

At least 207 rebels  jihad apes were reportedly killed on Friday by the military and vigilantes who massed out to challenge Boko Haram fighters in Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno State.

“In our area, Jiddari-Polo, we counted up to 207 corpses of the insurgents and the figure could be higher because more were pursued into the bush and killed,”Abdullahi Kazaure, a member of a vigilante group helping the army in its fight against Boko Haram popularly known as civilian Joint Task Force, told reporters.

Christians In Iran  

In Syria, the Alawite despotism protects the Christians, and Alawite bigshots rely on Armenian drivers to chauffeur them around. They can trust the Christians. Saddam Hussein did the same — his household staff, his cleaners and cooks — were Christian, and the Americans in the Green Zone inherited that staff but never thought to wonder about what it meant.

In Iran, Christians have fared badly, as they do in all Muslim lands, but not, until recently, as badly as they have in Sunni lands. Shah Abbas II even invited Armenians to found a town, New Julfa, in order, as he saw it, to increase economic activiy (the same consideration which several centuries later led the dictator Trujillo to give refuge to 30,000 German Jews, so that they might help the local economy).

But those who are clearly identifiable as having been born into, as naturally part of, Christianity — Armenians and Assyrians — are not regarded as a threat to the amour-propre and rule by Muslims as are converts to Christianity from Islam. This is, in Islam, a capital offense, according to the Shari’a. And the Islamic Republic of Iran is more like its Sunni enemies in its harshness than the Iran not only of its predecessor, ruled by the Swiss-educated, secularizing Shah, who however was less intelligent and less ruthless than Ataturk, and certainly less systematic, in his attempts to constrain or tame Islam.

The Islamic Republic of Iran takes its Islam straight up, not on the rocks, not diluted by time and the practice of tacit accomodation with  life as it needs to be lived. Here is a description,  of how Christian converts from Islam are treated in the Islamic Republic of Iran today, under Rouhani the Reformer. For those seeking to leave Islam but needing to assume some easily-recognizable plausible identity or “identity” (the unclassifiable individual being an intolerable threat to a certain kind of mind), and living in Iran, perhaps Zoroastrianism is a safer bet. It might appeal to the national pride that dilutes the hold of Islam, a faith with a certifiably pre-Islamic and Persian pedigree. Any port in a storm.

Leftist Press Frets: Jihad Truth-Tellers ‘Still Popular’… and ‘F— Islam’

Omar-Sacirbey_avatar-350x350Omar Sacirbey fiercely smiling.

Robert Spencer: A smear campaign of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently failed to get former FBI agent John Guandolo’s training course for law enforcement officers canceled in Culpeper County, Virginia. Religion News Service ran an editorial masquerading as a news story that the Washington Post picked up, attempting to ensure that this effrontery would not be repeated.

What Sacirbey means is:

“The problem persists because there are too few Leftists and Islamic supremacists putting pressure on police administrators so that they don’t dare host a course that tells the truth about Islam and jihad.”

Where do they find these grinning dolts?

Hijab Day: Islam Imposed on Citizens in Minneapolis

by PAMELA GELLER
hijabs-reuters

Is there wear a kippah day? A Sikh turban day? A Christ on the cross day? A Wiccan witch day? What’s next? Slaughter a live animal and let it bleed out for lunch day? Inshallah!

This is imposing Islam in Minneapolis. This is dhimmitude on steroids. A municipality celebrating “Hijab Day” is a violation of the establishment clause. The dhimmi Chief Harteau ought to be fired.– Hijab Day

Mark Steyn is wrong: choosing” to cover up is, well, awesome.

 …as far as I’m aware, American atheists and humanists have no plans to bring any separation-of-church-and-state suits against the City of Minneapolis, for its observance at City Hall last month of “Hijab Day“. Hijab Jabberwocky (Scaramouche features Mark Steyn)

Parti Quebecois candidate resigns after posting ‘F— Islam’ photo on Facebook

facebook-islam

A Parti Quebecois candidate has resigned after it was learned he posted a “F— Islam” photo on Facebook.

Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois said candidate Jean Carrière, 25, offered his resignation this morning and she accepted it after Quebec media reported the photo. The photo shows a topless woman, extending a middle finger with the inscription “F— Islam” and was posted in late January.

Carrière initially told Radio-Canada he shared the photo because its message was “feminist.” (National Post)

Whatever:

She didn’t choose  hijab, so he killed her:

Minneapolis Lesbian Police Chief Dons Hijab for “Hijab Day”

ugh-356x350

  Feminists Feminazis have been taken in by the false campaign against “Islamophobia,” (which does not really exist), and have backed President Hussein Obama’s approach to the Muslim world: Appeasement, flattery, a refusal to back the bravest Muslim dissidents who are fighting against barbaric totalitarian regimes, and a wholesale acceptance of Muslim women’s subordinate status in the United States.

When the left finally cracks up, the few survivors will have a really good laugh.

According to a Facebook post, Somali staffers that work at Minneapolis City Hall declared February 28 “Hijab Day” at City Hall and convinced the police chief and female city council reps to wear hijabs on the job.

Pictures include: Minneapolis police chief Janee Harteau (who recently married her favorite female sergeant – not very hijab like), city council members Elizabeth Glidden and Lisa Bender as well as other staffers.

There’s nothing like a lesbian feminist authority figure who boasts of being the first female police chief in Minneapolis donning a symbol of male ownership in a patriarchal tribal society to express the deep schizophrenia of the left in its enthusiastic enabling of Islamists.
