This is the first video I have seen by Saudis protesting the lack of person status women have in the KSA. Very encouraging, even if they kep the protest very tame and focus on child ‘marriage.’

From The Daily Mail
Virtue: A Saudi woman makes sure she is properly covered up while in a shopping mall (file photo). An unidentified Saudi woman is being hailed a hero after beating up a virtue cop who stopped her for walking with a man

The officer, from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, asked the pair to confirm their identities and relationship to one another.
Unmarried men and women are barred from mixing under Saudi Arabia’s strict Islamic rules. Continue Reading →
Bride-Price in Berlin

The Price is Right
“It is a scandal that the bartering of a girl can go unnoticed in the middle of Germany.”
Here’s the latest news from modern multicultural Germany. The article below is from Friday’s Der Spiegel, and was kindly translated for Gates of Vienna by JLH:
Bride-Price in Berlin
April 23, 2010
Interview by Anna Reiman
Without a Doubt, This Is Trade In Human Beings
Parents of Kurdish origin are said to have sold their 15-year-old daughter to the family of her future husband for €15,500. An active practice right in the middle of Germany, explains women’s rights expert Myria Böhmeke in a Spiegel-Online interview.
Spiegel: Mrs. Böhmeke, it is said that in Berlin, after the conclusion of the marriage contract, Kurdish parents sold their daughter, Jasmin, to the husband’s family for €15,500. Since then, the 15-year-old, who is pregnant, has separated from her husband. He is said to have beaten her. Is it an exception for Muslim families in Germany to pay a bride price? Böhmeke: No, in my experience it is not unusual. Exact figures are difficult to develop, because the girls who are forced into marriage and register with “terre des femmes” often do not know whether money was paid or not. The groom’s family pays the money for, among other things, the loss of a worker in the family. Spiegel: Can the bride price be of any use to the woman, if, for instance, she leaves her husband? Böhmeke: Originally, the bride price was thought of as a security for the woman, in case of a separation. The women often bought jewelry with it. Since then, it has frequently benefited the family. Spiegel: Berlin SPD politician, Bilkay Öney, claims to be shocked by Jasmin’s case. She says: “Buying a bride is taboo in Europe. I don’t care to think about anything like that. That doesn’t even exist in Turkey.” Is this a realistic judgment? Böhmeke: Completely false. Forced marriages are still widespread in Turkey. And frequently money changes hands. Underage girls are often married, even though it is forbidden in Turkey as in Germany. In such cases, the marriage contract is executed in a religious framework. As soon as the girl is of age, the “official” marriage takes place. And payment does not just take place in the Islamic societies. There is also often a substantial money payment in India. Spiegel: Jasmin’s family seems to be well integrated. Her father is with the fire department and her brother is a policeman. That seems to make the case so much more incomprehensible. Böhmeke: No. There is not necessarily a connection between current indicators of integration and consciousness of women’s rights. It often happens that girls who call “terre des femmes” for help appear to be models of integration, speak perfect German, and go to school.
Feminists today mostly, should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
Somehow, feminists, who once marched to get equal rights before the law for women, for genuine autonomy and so on, have allied themselves with the most misogynistic cult in the history of mankind. All those amazing women who marched for the vote, for reproductive rights, for equality in law, they must be sick not just to see how fast governments and cultures are submitting to Islam, but to see the very feminist groups they founded taken over by Marxists more interested in destroying Western Civilization than preserving the brilliant gains made by women over the centuries.
YEMEN: WOMEN MOBILISE FOR LAW ON ‘BABY BRIDES’
(ANSAmed) – BEIRUT, MARCH 23 – In Sanàa women are mobilising: h/t gates of vienna:
several hundred protested today in Yemen to support a law banning the marriage of girls under the age of 17. Just two days ago thousands protested against the same law. Underneath a burning sun and covered from head to toe in black niqabs, the demonstrators, who arrived in the city on about ten buses on Sunday, warned the parliamentary committee that will examine the text of the law in the coming month to reject it because, they chanted, “it is not permissible to ban what God allows”.
Supporting their view is also a ‘fatwa’ (religious legal pronouncement) stating that those who support the law are apostate. The fatwa was signed by a group of influential religious figures including Sheikh Abdul Majid al Zindani, who according to the U.S. was one of the spiritual teachers of Osama bin Laden. Today a response arrived: a rally organised by various groups for the defence of women’s rights in Yemen, many of which support the government. In reality, not many people were present at the event held in front of Parliament, but the group did include Nojoud Mohammad Ali, who has become a symbolic figure in the fight against forced marriages in Yemen.
Nojoud was forced to marry a 28-year-old man when she was eight, but in 2008 she reported her father to authorities and obtained a divorce. Many today also remembered Fawzia Abdallah Youssef, who died in September of last year due to a haemorrhage in the Saudi Arabian hospital of Hajja, north of Sanàa, while she was giving birth to a still-born baby at the age of 12, which she had with her husband, who she had married the year before. The practice of forced marriages in Yemen is well rooted and the law that intends to regulate them in reality was already approved in February last year, but was then blocked and sent to the parliamentary commission to be examined by a group of delegates who labelled it as anti-Islamic. According to a study by the Social Affairs Ministry, one-fourth of Yemenites marry before the age of 15. This is partly due to a tribal structure of society and widespread poverty, especially in rural areas, while religion also plays a fundamental role in the practice. (ANSAmed).

Wife beating in Islam. ‘Not beating, just punching!’
A high authority in Islam, explains how wife beating is sanctioned in Islam, but it isn’t so much beating as it is, punching, or shoving. But only if they do not obey.

Kuwaiti Goat Shagger “extremely Tired”
Man treated at hospital after having sex with animals in Kuwait
(file Photo)
The unnamed Asian watchman reportedly explained to his employer that he had been doing ”sexual things” to the animals
- By Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief
- Published: 17:07 March 13, 2010
“I was shocked during my last visit to the farm to see the watchman screaming in pain and I took him to the hospital in Farwaniya. There, doctors diagnosed him with a problem with his organ,” the farm owner was quoted as saying by Kuwaiti daily Al Rai on Saturday.
The unnamed watchman reportedly explained to his employer that he had been doing “sexual things” to the animals and that he may have contracted a dangerous disease. The farm owner said that the expatriate worker cried continiously and saying that he was “extremely tired.”
Readers’ comments on the internet ranged from sympathy for the lonely man to outrage for cruelty to animals. Many asked questions whether the animals were now fit for human consumption.
In 2006, a Sudanese man was forced to take a goat as his “wife”, after he was caught having sex with the animal.
The village council of elders ordered the man to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to the goat’s owner who had surprised him with his goat.
The elders said the man should not be taken to the police, but rather pay a dowry for the goat because he used it as his wife.

ALGERIA: PRISON FOR VIOLENT HUSBANDS IS AGAINST KORAN, MUFTI
The following ANSAMED article neglects to mention that Mohamed is also quoted as saying: “No-one will ask as to why a man beats his wife” (Abu Dawud vol. 2, no. 2142)
Eeyore
(ANSAmed) – ALGIERS, MARCH 15 – The proposal to introduce prison terms for men who beat their wives goes against the Koran and the teachings of the prophet Mohamed, according to the head of Algeriàs Superior Islamic Council. Qaher Sharif fiercely criticised the bill presented to the head of state Abdelaziz Bouteflikàs by the head of the Consultative Council on Human Rights Farouk Qustantiti. “This man’s aim is to violate a law of the Koran and of the Sunnah, and he meddles in subjects that are beyond his competence”, Sharif said in an interview with the Arab-language edition of the daily newspaper El Khabar. “Hés done it before with the death penalty, and now with beatings,” he added, asking “what difference can it make to him what goes on between a man and his wife?” The President of the Islamic Council said that he was stunned by Qustantinìs proposal, because “God has already pointed out precisely the way that a husband must behave towards his wife”. He quoted verses 34 and 35 of the Surah on women, in which men are advised to “admonish women, confine them to their bed and beat them” should they commit “nushooz”, a term signifying both infidelity and a refusal of sexual intercourse. Sharif pointed out that the text is so precise that it indicates the method of punishment to be used against the wife, and that this should be neither “too insistent, nor provoke disfigurement”.

Phyllis Chesler: Victim blames herself for being raped and beaten by Muslim?
The other day, a pediatric nurse in New York City refused to dance with Mbarek Lafrem, a Moroccan man, in a New York City bar. What did Lafrem do? He followed her into the women’s bathroom where he attempted to rape and savagely beat her. The woman was found unconscious and is now hospitalized. She required 50 stitches to close just one of her lacerations; she also suffered a broken eye socket, a broken nose, skull fractures, and a busted jaw.
The media pointedly refrain from telling us that he is a Muslim, but with a name like “Mbarek” or ‘Mubarak,” what religion are we talking about? Lafrem now claims that she started it, that the nurse “berated him when he barged into the women’s restroom shortly after she’d rebuffed him on the dance floor.”
To a certain kind of man, from a certain kind of culture, women are always supposed to say yes, and when they say no they are provokers and deserve a beating. More: If the woman is a naked-faced infidel and dances with strange men in a public setting—she is, by definition, a prostitute and is not entitled to say no. Saying no is a “provocation” and deserves a beating. Or worse.
Now, let’s shuffle off to Buffalo, where Muzzammil ”Mo” Hassan—remember him?–is about to stand trial for beheading his wife, Aasiya Zubair Hassan. Guess what this monster’s claiming? That he’s the victim, that he was a “battered husband.” Guess what this crafty self-promoter has been doing from his jail cell? Writing letters to the media in his mother’s name in which he paints himself as the “abused” spouse. Mo’s letters also refer to an “epidemic” of battered men.

STOPshariaLAWnow posts this video:
It is refreshing to see a woman actually fighting back against the horror of Islam. Modern feminism seems to be in league with Islam as modern feminism is more concerned with being in alignment with anti-West and anti-capitalism than they are with actual women’s rights as human beings. My only criticism of this video, is that while STOPshariaLAWnow is 100% correct that the ‘small stick’ or the ‘beat them lightly’ is not a mitigating factor in any way whatsoever, and in fact it is obscene to even sugest it is, Robert Spencer’s book on Koran exposes how actually only in the English translations of Koran and other Muslim holy books, are those preposterous excuses used, and not in the original, placed there to anaesthetize western peoples to the true depth of horror and depravity which is Islam.
Sure women in Islam have equal rights. Equal to 3rd world farm animals.
Kitman TV once again has brought the real world video footage that we so desperately need to see. Despite the fantastical amount of this kind of documentary footage that has been taken, the average person on the street still thinks to speak of Islam as it actually is, remains a hate crime.
Feminists, university students who think that being on the left of the political spectrum puts you on the side of genuine human rights, I beg you, watch this, send it to your friends, and then think very carefully about who the real allies are for the fight to sustain liberal multilateral democracy. It is not the left. It is not Islam. Thanks again Kitman.

Turkish father tells German court he stabbed daughter, 15, to death
Out of curiousity, if you were to stab someone in your home, how many times would you have to stab them before you recognized it was your own teenage daughter? One? Five? Sixty eight seems a little high to me.
Eeyore with a hat tip to R.E.A.L.
From Earth Times:
Schweinfurt, Germany – A Turkish doner kebab vendor told a German court Wednesday how he stabbed his teenaged daughter 68 times in their home, but he denied the attack was an honour killing. Prosecutors in the southern town of Schweinfurt have charged him with murder, alleging he killed Busra, 15, because she had a boyfriend, 17, and was a heavy user of her mobile phone and the internet.
But Mehmet O, aged 46, claimed he mistook her for a burglar.
“What I did was horrible,” the accused said in a statement read out for him by his lawyer. “What happened has nothing to do with family honour.” He claimed he heard a noise in the night last June, grabbed a kitchen knife, and attacked an intruder.
The girl’s bloodied body was found the next day on the sofa where she had slept. The accused vanished. When police caught him, he made a remark about his daughter “not choosing the Muslim way.” The court is expected to ask him what that meant. Continue Reading →
Of college girls and Keffiyehs
Once again I noticed riding the buss, that so many young people wear a keffiyeh as a fashion statement or just as likely as a political one. OK that’s fine. I am all for freedom of speech and especially for political speech, the kind that really matters. However I do think it is a good idea for people to actually be clear on what their speech and symbols really mean. today, I saw an attractive young woman wearing as a scarf, the official headdress of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Does she have no clue that the Saudis in all probability would not let her wear it at all within the KSA? That she likely would not be able to travel un-escorted on the street or on a public bus with men on it? That in fact she is wearing the very symbol of one of the most oppressive regimes for women’s rights in the world now or ever? You would have to be sacrificed to a volcano to get much worse treatment as a woman than you do in Saudi Arabia.
And the rest of the children who have been led to believe that supporting Hamas and wearing the keffiyeh is a cool counter-culture, anti-corporate, death to capitalism, anti racism sort of statement I profoundly hope you will read the Hamas charter as well as Hizbolah’s. They are online and quite clear. These organizations are literally genocidal. Hamas and Hizbolah are the most racist large scale governmental organizations since Hitler’s National Socialists.
So by all means, preach death to Jews and demand that Canada adopt sharia law and take away women’s rights to choice about pretty much anything, and demand a caliphate here in Canada and for the world if you feel that is what you want to see. But for the love of (insert gods here) do not advertise your semi-literate, under-informed, fashion-based crapioca on the rest of us when in fact you have no actual clue what the symbols you wear mean, and the groups you support actually fight for with your support and probably your money. If you are a genocidal anti-semite and want a seventh century religious conservative rule with zero tolerance for all alternative lifestyles or points of view carry on. I will fight you in the streets and on the beeches as needs be. But if you don’t want these things, go home and change.
