"Killing Women and Children is un-Islamic…"

Muhammad, Killer of Women & Children:

* Qur’an 8:17, “It is not you who slew them; it was Allah who killed them…”

* Tabari 9:69  “Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us”  The words of Muhammad, prophet of Islam.

* Muslim (19:4321-4323) – Three separate hadith in which Muhammad shrugs over the news that innocent children were killed in a raid by his men against unbelievers.  His response: “They are of them (meaning the enemy).”

  • You see, Allah is oft forgiving and merciful… there is no blame…

                                                            Rest in Peace…

SK: Undated picture released by the Immanuelgemeinde church parish and authorized by the families shows German nurses Rita Stumpp, left, and Anita Gruenwald, who were found murdered in Yemen.

News Yemen: The daily al-Shomoa newspaper on Tuesday quoted a source the Yemeni Intelligence Services as expecting to find the kidnappers and hostages within 24 hours.

Dualism in Islam:

Narrated ‘Abdullah:

During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah’s Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 257)

HOWEVER, there are certain other narrations that permit the killing of women and children, specifically during Muslim raids where they attack unsuspecting victims at night:

Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama:

The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, “They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans).” I also heard the Prophet saying, “The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 256)

I.e., they are all the same—both the women and children are nothing more than pagans!

The above narration is repeated in several, different hadith collections, here…

*  As you can clearly see, killing children and women is permissible in Islam.

Yemen: More infidels being kidnapped

So much for Yemen’s three-year old vow that it would halt abductions. “Seven Germans, Briton, Korean kidnapped in Yemen – TV,” from Reuters, June 14, JW:

DUBAI, June 14 (Reuters) – Seven Germans, a Briton and a Korean have been kidnapped in the Saada area of north Yemen, Al Jazeera reported on Sunday. 

The television station gave no more details. Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, is struggling with an on-off revolt in the north, a secessionist movement in the south and intensified al Qaeda militancy.

Update from Jawa Report:

Yemen Rebels Jihadists Deny Kidnapping Foreigners

The rebels say it occurred next the headquarters of the Political Security (the secret police) in central Sa’ada. However like every other group in Yemen, when news hits the western media, the rebels were unable to put out a statement in English. Ergo, yet more bad google translation:

Houthi deny that any of the sons of Saada relationship is responsible for the kidnapping of German. Power is the power (the government) bears full responsibility for their fate. The area where it was said that they had kidnapped them (Graz) is next to the Political Security in the heart of the city of Saada. We emphasize that the charge for us is null and false accusation and slander is a matter of political vindictiveness, which is evidence of the bankruptcy (of the regime). More>>

Child Marriage in Yemen: Interviews with Two Girl-Brides Who Have Appealed to the Court Seeking Divorce

Update: as usual, it didn’t take long for a Muselman to post a denial. Denial, however, does not shake the mountain of evidence:

Following are excerpts from a TV debate on child marriage in Yemen, which aired on BBC Arabic TV on March 24 and April 1, 2009:

MEMRI

TV host: Welcome, Nujoud. How old are you?

Nujoud: Ten years old.

TV host: Tell us your story. How did you get married?

Nujoud: My father married me off. I refused, because I was still at school, but my father told me I had to. Then my father married me off in the village.

Shuqi Al-Qadhi, member of the Human Rights Committee of the Yemenite Parliament: How old were you when you got married?

Nujoud: I wasn’t even ten years old when I was married.

Shuqi Al-Qadhi: So how old were you?

Nujoud: More than nine, less than ten.

Yemen: "The West wants to teach us how to marry, conceive and divorce. This is cultural colonization that we reject"

Hmm, not really.  “The West” is pretty timid not to mention anything about Aisha who was 6 when she “married” Muhammad, a warlord in his fifties. If you call Muhammad a child-molester you might even end up in court and get a fine, along with being labeled ‘racist, bigot, Islamophobe.” You won’t find Aisha’s story in this article by DONNA ABU-NASR/Associated Press mentioned either. Why do you think that is?  Is the truth no defense?

 Of course, the whole concept of pedophilia did not exist in Muhammad’s day, but when he is taken as the supreme example of human conduct and imitated today, what results is…pedophilia. Muhammad’s consummation of his marriage with Aisha when she was nine is in the hadith collection Muslims consider most reliable, Bukhari, several times:5.48.234; 5.58.236; 7.62.64; 7.62.65; and 7.62.88.

What’s more, it is clear that Muslims take this seriously and imitate Muhammad in this. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”

Islamists fight Yemen law banning child marriage

She was 2 years old when her father promised her in marriage to a man in his 30s. It was a swap, so the father could marry the man’s sister without paying the obligatory bride-price. At age 9, the girl was put on a sack of rice to appear taller next to the bridegroom in the wedding picture. At 11, she was taken to her husband’s house to live. Despite promising not to consummate the marriage before she reached puberty, he tied her to a bed, stuffed a rag in her mouth and raped her, she says.  Read it all>>

Yemen: Jihad against Koreans continues, suicide bomber explodes a bit late…

 

M & C

Robert Spencer offers some context: Here is a sequel to the tourist jihad attack against a group of South Koreans in Yemen a few days ago. No doubt this is happening because South Korea continues its illegal, unconscionable, genocidal occupation of Palestinian land.

            

“Terrorism: Yemen; Koreans Targeted Again, Attack Failed,” from ANSAmed, 

Sana’a, Yemen – A group of South Korean government officials and relatives of victims of a suicide bombing in Yemen narrowly escaped an attack themselves Wednesday in the Middle Eastern country.

The attack took place in front of the al-Dailami military base as the convoy was heading to Sana’a International Airport. The suicide bomber, who was killed in the attack, had been waiting outside the base’s gate, police officials said.

There were no other casualties in the attack. Police told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that the attacker apparently missed his target by triggering his explosive belt seconds after the convoy had passed.

Child Marriage in Yemen: Islamic Clerics Go Apeshit Over Law Setting Minimum Age for Marriage

Institutionalized Pedophilia:

That Aisha Thing again: the fact remains that child marriage is rampant in the Islamic world in imitation of the Prophet.

*  The norm sets the limit at the age of 17, but according to Islamic figures, this goes against Sharia, and therefore Parliament cannot legislate on the matter. Meanwhile, lawmakers have decided to delay by two years the political elections scheduled for April.

                           

Young Yemeni girls preparing for marriage to wealthy Arabs. Under the new amendments, children younger than 17 iares not allowed to marry unless it is deemed by a judge to be in their best interests

Sana’a (AsiaNews) – Some Yemeni religious figures have launched a “fatwa” against the law recently approved by Parliament that sets the minimum age for marriage at 17. The statement, signed by the rector of Al-Eman University, Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, and by representatives of the party Islamic Islah, is aimed at eliminating the minimum age limit.

The question of the minimum age for marriage in Yemen was brought to the attention of world public opinion last April, following the case of Nojud Mohammed Ali, an 8-year-old girl who requested and obtained a divorce after being forced to marry a 30-year-old man.

“Jihad? Never heard of it…!”


“This attack is a reminder that we are at war with extremists who will murder innocent people to achieve their ideological objectives,” Bush said after a meeting with Gen. David Petraeus, who handed command over the Multi-National Force in Iraq to Gen. Ray Odierno this week.
“One objective of these extremists is to kill, to try to cause the United States to lose our nerve and to withdraw from regions of the world,” Bush said. 

Comment: but losing our nerve to honestly identify the enemy ideology is OK?

Camel Urine Makes Big Comeback in Yemen

Update: Saudis can’t go past Camel Urine

Nano-particles in Camels’ urine may help treat cancer
By Farah Mustafa Wadi
Dr. Faten Abdel-Rahman Khorshid is responsible for one of the Kingdom’s greatest national achievements in the field of science for her work which began with the urine of camels and concluded in a potential cure for cancer. After spending more than five years in lab research, this Saudi scientist and faculty member from King Abdul Aziz University (KAAU) and President of the Tissues Culture Unit at King Fahd Center for Medical Research, has discovered that nano-particles in the urine of camels can attack cancer cells with success. Her work began with experiments involving camel urine, cancer cells found in patients’ lungs and culminated in injecting mice with leukemic cancel cells and camel urine to test the results.

Camel urine trade flourishing

* Thanks to all who sent this in. Unfortunately we can’t buy any shares in this venture…

Sanaa, 11 July (AKI) – Camel urine, considered an ancient Islamic ‘remedy’ from the time of the Prophet Mohammed, has become big business for men and women in Yemen.  

The urine has become fashionable recently among Yemen’s young people, who claim that it strengthens the scalp, slows hair loss and promotes healthy hair.

According to the Arab TV network al-Arabiya, hair salons throughout the country are requesting this precious ‘tonic’ and selling it at four dollars a litre – a high price considering the income level of most of the buyers.

“I have been using camel urine since I have been going to elementary school,” said Amal, a university student in Sanaa.

“The first time a neighbour told me that she had been using it (urine) for many years, because it made her hair more beautiful and shiny. Now everyone in my home uses it.”

The use of the urine is not just limited to women. Men have reportedly also been using it to prevent or stop hair loss.

“Many young men use the camel’s urine. I am forced to buy large quantities for my business,” said Hasan, a barber. 

A boom in the sale of camel urine has prompted people to begin breeding more camels, and they are constantly being given liquids in order to collect more urine.

Nomadic camel breeders have benefited the most from the sale of urine. The breeders are usually in the most remote areas of the country such as Hudeida and Mukallah provinces.

Some people also claim that camel urine is good for the liver, a claim discredited by the University of Sanaa that said it was harmful for the digestive system.

The use of camel urine could have its roots in Islamic religion. In the Prophet Mohammed’s “sunna” (or tradition), it talks about the benefits of camel milk and urine.

In a “hadith” (or narrative), foreigners are said to have gone to the holy city of Medina with high fever and the Prophet Mohammed ordered them to leave the city and drink urine and milk from a camel to help them recover.
