FBI arrests 7 in Amish haircut attacks in Ohio

you got to be kidding

MILLERSBURG, Ohio (AP) — The leader of a breakaway Amish group allowed the beatings of those who disobeyed him, made some members sleep in a chicken coop and had sexual relations with married women to “cleanse them,” federal authorities said Wednesday as they charged him and six others with hate crimes in hair-cutting attacks against other Amish.

Authorities raided the group’s compound in eastern Ohio earlier in the day and arrested seven men, including group leader Sam Mullet and three of his sons.

Several members of the group carried out the attacks in September, October and November by forcibly cutting the beards and hair of Amish men and women and then taking photos of them, authorities said.

Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry. One victim told the FBI he would rather have been “beaten black and blue than to suffer the disfigurement and humiliation of having his hair removed,” according to court papers.

The attacks struck at the core of the Amish identity and tested their principles. They are pacifists and strongly believe that they must be forgiving in order for God to forgive them, which often means handing out their own punishment and not reporting crimes to law enforcement. Continue Reading →

GILGIT: A burqa-clad man taking an examination illegally under his wife’s name at a testing centre at Gilgit was arrested by police, witnesses told The Express Tribune on Tuesday.

The incident occurred at an examination centre for women constables.

Eyewitnesses said that the veiled man left his seat and attempted to run away when a female police constable supervising the examinations approached him to check his identity. However, male police officials who had cordoned off the area immediately caught him and detained him for investigation.

“He was sitting amid dozens of veiled women taking tests,” said a witness, adding that his ‘dubious’ acts while taking the test led to his arrest.

Prophet Mohammed to ‘guest edit’ French satirical magazine

The Telegraph

h/t A. Millar

A satirical French magazine is to publish an edition ‘edited’ by the prophet Mohammed, in “honour” of Islam’s influence on the Arab Spring.

5:33PM GMT 31 Oct 2011

“In order fittingly to celebrate the Islamist Ennahda’s win in Tunisia and the NTC (National Transitional Council) president’s promise that sharia would be the main source of law in Libya, Charlie Hebdo asked Mohammed to be guest editor,” said a statement.

The weekly has been rebaptised Sharia Hebdo for the occasion, and will feature on its cover a picture of Mohammed saying: “100 lashes if you don’t die of laughter!”

On the back page, a picture of Mohammed wearing a red nose is accompanied by the words: “Yes, Islam is compatible with humour.”

The cover was circulating on social media such as Twitter on Tuesday, with many users incensed and describing it as “puerile”.

The weekly’s publisher, known as Charb, rejected accusations that he was trying to provoke.

“We feel we’re just doing our job as usual. The only difference is that this week, Mohammed is on the cover and that’s quite rare,” he told AFP.

A Paris court in 2007 threw out a suit brought by two Muslim organisations against Charlie Hebdo for reprinting cartoons of prophet Mohammed that had appeared in a Danish newspaper, sparking angry protests by Muslims worldwide

Some fun halloween ideas for 2011

Just for fun, I thought wouldn’t it be interesting to carve 2 slits for eyes on a pumpkin, put a pair of dark glasses over them so you get a nice eerie glow from the candle behind the glasses, and but a burka or niquab over the rest of it. Get out your cell phone cam and film the response. Could be an interesting social experiment.

As Pat Condell implied in his newest and excellent video, ‘Want to see something really scary’?
