Religion Of Peace — More Like “Rest-In-Peace”!

Posted By: 'Okie' | 11:11 am — 7/9/2006 | Comments Off See comments below:

A 14-year-old Christian girl in Nigeria walks into a mosque in Izom in Gawu Babangida Local Government Area of Niger State. There she drops some literature that is critical of the prophet Mohammed and of Jesus Christ. Admittedly, not a smart move, but — it’s a 14-year-old girl.

Some of the mosque’s radical congregants followed and arrested her, handing her over to the police for breaking Islamlic laws against making derogatory comments like those mentioned. She is taken to the police station.

A mob overruns the police station, takes her out and stones her to death!

The police do absolutely nothing little to stop them or to save her life.

Such is justice under Islamic Law. Such is life under the guidance of the “Religion of Peace”.

Michelle Malkin has the whole story and more commentary. Her most telling remark?

I am waiting for the human rights crowd to express its utter disgust over such barbaric religious persecution and am so sure we will hear feminist outrage over this young woman’s senseless brutal lynching.

That’s sarcasm, in case you didn’t get it. No feminist spokeswoman will ever speak out against the Islamists, “We have to respect other cultures, we can’t make value judgments”, don’t you know? Guess they are looking forward to the salad-days of burkas, clitorectomies, beatings, honor killings, et al that would accompany an Islamic-law ruled US.

BTW — Here is a feminist’s take on clitorectomy, from Feministing blog.

Genital “mutilation” is a very misunderstood practice, and I feel like people in the United States and other “1st world” countries judge it simply on the basis that Africans are performing it. My Women’s Studies teacher is part of a tribe in Africa that performs clitorectomies as a coming-of-age ceremony, as the article said, but rarely do these women have problems later, and it’s not like they’re picking up the first broken glass bottle they see and having a man slash them. Clitorectomies in many African countries are important cultural practices that are carried out with rituals and ceremonies embedded in the culture. Oh, and these are women-only ceremonies, therefore a lot of times it is empowering, not demeaning, and definitely not mutilation. If you want to talk about when men perform genital mutilation on women outside of the cultural norms, I’m fine. But to support an article that purports assumptions and biases as fact in a feminist blog is unacceptable to me. We need to be more accepting of all our sisters and their different practices.

I think that she hit all the multi-cultural talking points that she learned at the University. No, nothing wrong with someone hacking away a woman’s clitorus, scraping away the labia, and sewing up the vaginal opening to the size of a pea. In fact, maybe ywtf_feminist would just love to have that done to her — a real bonding ritual with her sisters in Africa. Wouldn’t need that Pleasure-Vibe-5000 anymore, either! Geez! At least the majority of the comments were anti- clitorectomy.

Like I keep saying — Be careful where you send your kids to school. The nutters are out there in-mass and filling their heads with dangerous crap! (db)

I’m disgusted! Think I’ll say prayers for the girl and her family and then go take a shower . . . (db)
