2. Punished For Being Raped and For Accusing Rapists: Women’s Burden Under Sharia
ISIS has just be-headed a woman in Baquba because she dared to resist being raped. In the process of struggling to defend herself, she actually killed her would-be rapist, an ISIS warrior. The woman was at home recovering from a medical illness.
This is precisely the crime that led to Reyhaneh Jabbari’s execution in Iran at dawn this past Saturday—except that the Iranian regime first jailed and tortured her for five years. Her life might have been spared if her victim’s family had forgiven her, but that did not happen. Her would-be rapist was a former member of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry.
3. There is something spooky about John Cantley’s most recent appearance in an Islamic State video. Normally he appears to be in a cell in an orange prisoner jump suit. In the most recent video we posted yesterday, he is wearing black, standing on a roof, talking casually and is wearing his beard in a fashion similar to jihadis, with no mustache etc. One wonders if the IS turned him. This may explain how.
4. It’s Labour’s Failure to Stop 1,400 Children Being Abused that Is Despicable, Not UKIP’s Poster
Let me say it again clearly, and then ask the Labour party what part of this they want the voters of South Yorkshire to forget: for 16 years under the control of a Labour council at least 1,400 young girls in Rotherham were trafficked and raped by gangs of men, mostly of Pakistani origin.
During those years, local Labour officials and police ignored the pleas of working class parents and allowed the rape of children to continue because the local Labour establishment were afraid of being called racist if they intervened.

President Obama’s former ambassador to Iraq says in a new interview that his administration “did almost nothing” in response to intelligence warnings earlier this year that Islamic State radicals were gaining ground in Iraq and threatening the country’s stability.
“The administration not only was warned by everybody back in January, it actually announced that it was going to intensify support against ISIS with the Iraqi armed forces. And it did almost nothing,” says James Jeffrey, who served as U.S. ambassador to Iraq between 2010 and 2012, in “Frontline’s” “The Rise of ISIS,” which airs on PBS Tuesday night (check local listings) and is previewed here exclusively on Yahoo News.
Thank you Ted L., M., Buck, and all. I am having serious comm issues that have taken up my whole day so far today. I hope to be up to full speed soon. At the moment I am using a tin can and a string. So my apologies to anyone who is expecting a reply to an email I haven’t received yet.
#5 The world cup isn’t going to take place in Qatar. It will be abandoned as the war in the ME ramps up.
#4 I wish there was some law that would put the labor politicians into prison for what they did to those poor children.
#3 Anyone can be broken if pushed hard enough long enough, and when they break they often convert and join their tortures, becoming more radical then their captors..
4/ There is, but He deals with things Himself.
In His own way, in the time and place of His choosing.
True but one could wish that there was something we could do to help him.
