Harsh video of acid attack in Pakistan plus machine translation of article.

Posted on by

Warning: this video is hard to watch. The woman’s disfigurement is severe.

Below is a machine translation of the article from Danish. I will try and get this properly done, including having the video subtitled sometime in the next 24 hours if I can find a Danish translator. Meanwhile, I think you will get the gist of it. Muslim woman acts like human being, insisting on getting an education and or choosing her own mate, has acid thrown in her face, spends life as a blind circus freak. I cleaned up some of the syntax in the machine translation. i added the word ‘sharia’ as an assumption which I put in brackets. There likely is no actual law in Koran requiring acid to be poured on women who disobey, but there is a great deal in sharia on what constitutes disobedience for women and how harsh the punishment should be.

from the Danish press: h/t GOV

Right now in London is a 24-year-old Danish Muslim man in critical condition after he was attacked with acid. The police believe that the attack may be related honor because he had a relationship with a married Muslim woman.

was pouring acid in throat

Indeed, punishment with acid a known phenomenon in several predominantly Muslim countries.  Among others, the Taliban in Afghanistan throws acid on schoolgirls in order to keep them away from learning, and in Pakistan are hundreds of women each year, attacked with sulfuric acid, if they do not comply with the family will and forced marriages.

TV 2 | News correspondent Ulla Terkelsen has visited a women’s center for victims of sulfuric acid in Islamabad.

Here, she meets she 23 years old Naziran whose face is disfigured after an acid attack.

Nazirans man whom she had two children, died a half years ago.  As it happened, she got to know his laws, that she should marry with her deceased husband’s big brother, and thus become his wife number two.

She refused Naziran and punishment, (sharia) laws, is to pour acid over her head one night when she slept in the courtyard.

Below, an acid attack on a man in the UK. Clearly acid has become a weapon of choice rather than one of convenience.

Bangladeshi woman sentanced to 5 years for attempted murder of her daughter and second cousin

Posted on by

There is so much wrong in this story it is difficult to read. Was this really an arranged marriage as the story claims or more typical of Islam, a forced one. These two people are cousins. Is a first cousin marriage legal in the UK at all?

This woman was a prisoner of sharia in her UK home to the point that she was longing to go back to Bangladesh. Is sharia now so draconian and enforceable in England that years and years can go by and women will not be able to get out from its grip to the point that Bangladesh seems like a bastion of freedom and women’s rights? All this and we haven’t even touched on the near unimaginable wrong of a mother stabbing her baby. As to sharia law in the UK Anyone who has read Bruce Bawer’s excellent book, ‘While Europe Slept’ of course knows the answer to that. But to see it spelled out so casually in British news is frankly terrifying. The casual nature of the events and facts of this family and how they live. That the judge is awarding the baby daughter to the father and not the state. That the cost to the UK taxpayer for all the medical bills for this sort of action while indigenous British people who live responsibly and avoid marrying cousins and stabbing their babies have to pay the massive bills medical and legal for those who hold nothing but contempt for British culture and laws.

Frankly, there is an entire essay that could be done about the unasked questions in the article below.

Eeyore for Vlad.

Mother jailed for stabbing her baby after arranged-marriage husband tried to force her to leave Britain

From The Daily Mail UK:

Last updated at 11:42 PM on 09th July 2009

A mother who tried to kill her own baby was jailed for just five years today after a judge said she had felt ‘powerless’ in an arranged marriage.

The desperate woman stabbed her eight-month-old daughter with a kitchen knife after her husband told her to leave Britain but said she could not take the child with her.

He gave his Bangladesh-born bride a one-way ticket out of Britain and took out a court injunction, banning her from taking their child out of the country.

The 25-year-old told relatives she would kill the baby and then commit suicide herself rather be separated from her child, saying: ‘If I can’t have her then no-one will.’

The Old Bailey heard she had plunged the kitchen knife into her tiny daughter’s stomach, causing a 1.6 inch wound which almost killed the child.

One of the baby’s ribs stopped the blade and she underwent emergency surgery to save her from the stabbing. Continue Reading →

In England, Girls Vulnerable to Islamic Law

Posted on by

from Brussels Journal: (please check originating link as I may not have got all the right links in place) H/T AA

In March of last year a severely autistic man with the mental age of three married a woman in Bangladesh, via the telephone. Three of Britain’s most senior judges intervened, ruling the marriage could not be legal under English law, as the man was unable to give his consent.

This marriage, said Lord Justice Thorpe, was “sufficiently offensive to the conscience of the English court that the court should refuse to recognise it and should refuse to give effect to the law of Bangladesh and sharia law.”

Only six months later, sharia courts that had formerly operated illegally in Britain were reclassified as “tribunals” under the Arbitration Act, allowing them to pass effectively legally binding judgments in many civil matters.

However, with sharia law incompatible with English law and modern human rights norms, concerns were rightly raised that the sharia court system in Britain would grow into a parallel legal system. The disparity between English and sharia law was highlighted only a month later, as the House of Lords passed judgment in the case of a Lebanese woman who had claimed the right to remain in the UK with her son. An earlier Lebanese court decision, under sharia law, meant that, despite a history of abuse, her former husband would get automatic custody of the child when he turned seven.

Lord Hope of Craighead observed that under the sharia judgment, “[…] there is a real risk of a flagrant denial of their article 8 rights [of the European Convention on Human Rights] if the appellant and her child were to be returned to Lebanon.” Lord Bingham of Cornhill added, rather triumphantly, that her case was supported “[…] by JUSTICE and Liberty.”

Justice and liberty, Lord Cornhill appeared to say, are not supported by sharia. Not even in civil cases. For, in sharia, the rights of the man supersede the rights of the woman and children, Muslims are privileged over non-Muslims, and – where sharia is the dominant or sole form of law – cruel punishments, including death by stoning, hanging, etc., are meted out for adultery, homosexuality, apostasy, etc.

Although it has generally been thought that five sharia courts were operating in Britain, just over a week ago Civitas revealed that there are now at least 85 sharia courts operating across the country.

Troublingly, Civitas says that some sharia rulings it looked at, “[…] advise illegal actions and others that transgress human rights standards as they are applied by British courts,” and that, “[…] for many Muslims, sharia courts are in practice part of an institutionalised atmosphere of intimidation, backed by the ultimate sanction of a death threat.” Continue Reading →

Muslim women should be killed for marrying a non Muslim

Posted on by

Here is a recent ‘fatwa’ or religious ruling from Islam Q&A about what should happen to a Muslim women who marries a Christian etc. While it may not specifically say execute her, it is fairly clearly implied. Not hard to find out what should happen to apostates and that is how they will view her.

Thanks to Grace who has thick sturdy hip waders capable of wallowing through this much hate literature  on various Islamic sites for finding this.

What is the punishment for a Muslim woman who marries a Christian man?

How is a woman to be punished if she marries a Christian? How often is it carried out and in what countries is it most common?


Praise be to Allaah.

It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a kaafir (non-Muslim), whether he is Jewish, Christian or an idol-worshipper, because the man has authority over his wife, and it is not permissible for a kaafir to have authority over a Muslim woman. For Islam is the true religion and all other religions are false. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikoon till they believe (in Allaah Alone)” [al-Baqarah 2:221]

“And never will Allaah grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers” [al-Nisaa’ 4:141]

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Islam should prevail and should not be prevailed over.”

If a Muslim woman marries a kaafir when she knows the ruling, then she is a zaaniyah (adulteress), and her punishment is the punishment for adultery. If she was ignorant of the ruling then she is excused, but they must be separated, and there is no need for a divorce because the marriage is null and void. On this basis, the Muslim woman whom Allaah has honoured with Islam and her guardian must beware of that and must adhere to the limits set by Allaah, and they must feel proud of Islam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Those who take disbelievers for Awliyaa’ (protectors or helpers or friends) instead of believers, do they seek honour, power and glory with them? Verily, then to Allaah belongs all honour, power and glory” [al-Nisaa’ 4:139]

Christian Man Raped, Murdered for Refusing to Convert to Islam, Family Says

Posted on by

Now if the main-stream media would only start reporting on the hundreds or thousands of cases of forced convertion that happen in Islamic society all under the nose of police and government officials. I’m sure some of this will be addressed in Obamas next speech to his Muslim brothers and sisters.

Convert or Die. Infidel

Convert or Die. Infidel

FOX NEWS
  A young Christian man was raped and brutally murdered in Pakistan for refusing to convert to Islam, and police are doing nothing about it, the victim’s brother and minister told FOXNews.com.Pakistani police reportedly found the body of Tariq “Litto” Mashi Ghauri — a 28-year-old university student in Sargodha, Pakistan — lying dead in a canal outside a rural village in Punjab Province on May 15. He had been raped and stabbed at least five times.

“They have sexually abuse him, torture him with a knife on his testicle and genitals,” Ghauri’s brother, 24-year-old Salman Nabil Ghauri, said. “They have tortured him very badly, and after that they have stabbed five times with a knife and killed him.”
The family believes Litto Ghauri was murdered by the brothers of his Muslim girlfriend, Shazi Cheema, after they found him in a compromising sexual position with their sister.

The Rev. Haroon Bhatti, a Christian clergyman in the village and a friend of the Ghauri family, said Cheema’s three brothers came to Litto Ghauri’s house on May 11 and gave him an ultimatum: Marry their sister and convert to Islam.“On that farmhouse — four days there — we all, Christians and family, were searching for him,” the Rev. Bhatti said. “I was with him. I was searching for him.”

 After police discovered the body, Ghauri’s death was declared a homicide and the family filed paperwork with the Atta Shaheed police station in their small village, Adda 44SB. But Ghauri’s brother said police still have not arrested the alleged killers and have refused to meet with his family. Continue Reading →

More examination of marriage in Islam

Posted on by

I have written before on Vlad that the issue facing the west is not  polygamy so much as marriage in the Islamic world altogether. What consenting adults choose as their lifestyle is no business of mine even if I may personally find many of those choices repugnant horrifying immoral or retrograde. I reserve the right to voice that opinion, but demand that the state not act on them.

That;s right I demand the state not act or enforce my opinions on other peoples romantic lives providing all people in those arrangements are consenting adults.

Then we have this from Pakistan’s Daily Times:

Kidnapping of 15-year-old girl: LHC CJ orders action against kidnappers

Staff Report

LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) Chief Justice (CJ) Khawaja Muhammad Sharif disposed of suo motu proceedings on the kidnapping of 15-year-old schoolgirl, Sara Yousaf, after she told the court she was forced to marry her kidnapper.

On Friday, the girl was produced in court and recorded her statement. She said, “I was kidnapped by Saleem Ali son of Wazir Ali from my house and kept prisoner since November 17, 2008. Saleem force me to sign the marriage papers. I want to go back with my parents.”

After her statement, the CJ allowed her to go with her parents and directed M Akram, the station house officer of South Cantonment, Lahore, to conduct an impartial inquiry into the incident and take appropriate legal action.

Ali Murtaza, the complainant in the case, had appeared before the CJ in his chambers on May 25, seeking the recovery of his sister from her alleged kidnappers.

This is not in any way a rare event. In Islam forced marriage is the norm. This needs to be understood clearly when engaging with Muslims about what should and should not be ‘legal’ in the west when it comes to issues of marriage. Rest assured that Muslims know full well we misinterpret what is meant when Muslims use this word in many cases. Anyone who has read ‘Infidel’, Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s most excellent book would know that for many Muslims in Islamic nations women have no choice in marriage and often do not know they are married till they are informed of it much like the sale or transfer of property in the west. One doesn’t need the permission of the car to sell it to the next owner. Just a signature from the new owner to recognize receipt of delivery. So it is with marriage in much of the Islamic world and as it is written in sharia law.

The story quoted above shows a rare triumph where a Pakistani relatively secular court actually allowed a family member to actually retake possession of his sister. Note that still, a male family member had to make a claim on this property, his sister, which was taken illegally by some other family. You can bet that both families where Muslim. Had the brother been Hindu or Christian it is unlikely the case would have ever seen the inside of a Pakistani court.

Eeyore for Vlad.

A telling answer on Islam Q&A

Posted on by

I must say I don’t know how Grace does it. I would need (as she suggests) an antacid to read this particular Islam Questions and Answers site but I would also want at least a set of hip waders and to be frank I would prefer a full hazmat suit. Here is a Muslim religious councilor advising that it is better for a young girl to risk death at her families hands than cause them dishonor by running away. Isn’t it also odd that Muslims are always claiming that so called ‘Honor killings’ are a tribal thing and not part of Islam at all but yet its constantly referred to as an aspect of the religion.

Thanks Grace. Maybe some readers of Vlad will help pay for the anti emetics you must need after reading this site.

From Islam Q&A

She wants to run away from her father who hits her
I would be grateful if u answer my problem.my 16 year old female cousin lives currently in the us with her parents & older brother.as due to the country’s law no one can hurt her,but her family is planning to go to their homeland for a visit & she is sure that her father will hit her & her mother,as he did before,or marry her of without her consent.her father’s side of the family will do nothing & her brother joins in hitting her.i or my family can do nothing to stop this.she is so sure that they will abuse her that she plans to runaway prior to their departure,live with a female friend & never return.i told her that this is against our relegion but she wiling to take the risk of living on the street than being alone with her father.if i tell my family she will never trust me.only u can tell me what a muslim girl is to do.please reply before its to late.
Praise be to Allaah.

It is not permissible for your cousin to run away from her family and live with another family, because that involves disobeying her parents and upsetting them and damaging their reputation. Moreover her living with a strange family will pose a great danger to her and her religious commitment.

No matter how badly she is treated by her family, that cannot compare with what she is planning to do. No woman follows this course but she goes astray and loses her religious commitment. That is the punishment for disobeying her parents that comes in this world, before the Hereafter. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Two things for which the punishment is hastened in this world: injustice and disobedience to parents.” Narrated by al-Haakim and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 2810.

She may come to regret it at the time when regret will be to no avail, when her father or mother dies angry with her.

So she must go back to her family and honour her father and treat him kindly. If he causes some annoyance let her bear it with patience and seek reward. She should understand that the fire of this world is not like the Fire of the Hereafter, and that no matter what hardships she endures in this world, if she earns the pleasure of Allaah and enters Paradise, she will indeed have succeeded, and no matter what comforts of this life she enjoys, if she then incurs the wrath of Allaah and enters His Fire, she will indeed be doomed.

She should regard the harm that her family does her as being like a sickness that cannot be warded off. She does not know, perhaps she may suffer diseases and pains that are many times worse than that harm, as a punishment for her disobedience and her living with someone other than her family.

She should strive to make du’aa’ and turn to Allaah, asking Him to guide her parents and her brother, and to help her to find a righteous husband.

If her parents insist on marrying her to someone who is not suitable for her, she may refer the matter to the sharee’ah court; the same applies if her father refuses to marry her to a compatible man who comes to propose marriage to her.

She does not have the right to arrange her own marriage without the permission of her wali (guardian). If she does that her marriage is invalid because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no marriage except with a wali.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2085; al-Tirmidhi, 1101; Ibn Maajah, 1881, from the hadeeth of Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Any woman who gets married without the permission of her wali, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If the marriage has been consummated, the mahr is hers because she has allowed the man to be intimate with her. If there is a dispute, then the ruler is the wali of the one who has no wali.” Narrated by Ahmad, 24417; Abu Dawood, 2083; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 2709.

The point is that you should strive to advise your cousin of what we have said here. If she insists on running away from her family, you have to tell them about that, so as to prevent this great evil from happening, even if that leads to her not trusting you in the future. Denouncing evil is obligatory upon the one who is able to do it, and what you do will be good for her.

Her father should also be advised and reminded of Allaah, and warned against mistreating his children unlawfully. This is the kind of wrongdoing which will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection.

And Allaah knows best.

Afghan Taliban execute eloping pair: official

From yahoo news

HERAT, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Taliban militants publicly executed a man and girl on Monday for eloping when she was already engaged to marry someone else, an official said, in a sign of the grip the Islamists have over parts of Afghanistan. Hashim Noorzai, head of Khash Rud district in southwestern Nimruz province, said the two were executed by gun shots in front of a crowd of villagers.He said he had no details on how the Taliban had come to be involved in passing judgment on them but that much of the mainly desert district was under control of the militants. Nimruz is a sparsely-populated area near the Iranian and Pakistani borders where foreign or government troops have little presence. Like much of the south of the country, it has become a stronghold for Taliban fighters who were driven out of Kabul by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001 but are making a comeback in the south and east.A Taliban-led insurgency against Afghanistan’s U.S.-backed government has grown in recent years, and the militants have occasionally carried out their form of justice, including public executions, in towns and villages under their control. Taliban spokesmen were not immediately available for comment.

Robert Fulford: Murder as an expression of virtue

Robert Fulford: Murder as an expression of virtue
Posted: April 12, 2009, 9:40 AM by NP Editor
,

When an Ethiopian man in Alexandria, Va. killed his wife, the report in last week’s Alexandria Gazette Packet tiptoed nervously around his motive. It said that cultural issues were involved and that he had ordered her not to interact with co-workers. In case the point still wasn’t clear, the reporter attempted to explain: “In Ethiopia, women have more defined roles.”

That’s a cowardly way of saying that women automatically obey their husbands in Ethiopia but sometimes don’t in America. The deliberate ambiguity would be comic if it were not attached to a tragedy.

This is how many people twist themselves into knots while confronting the form of homicide that carries the inappropriate and grotesque label, “honour killing” — the murder of women to satisfy the “honour” of — and appease the rage of — men. We make the mistake of comparing it with wife-murder in the West, but it differs fundamentally: It’s often culturally sanctioned, it claims religious vindication and it may be committed by brothers, uncles and cousins, not just husbands.
A few years ago, most of us understood that this freakish atrocity took place far away, in illiterate corners of Africa or south Asia, beyond the reach of police, courts and other trappings of civilization. Scores of news stories have since taught us that it’s as close as Virginia or Toronto, it’s far more widespread than most people in the West once imagined and it’s likely to persist far into the future.

This is not a crime limited to old men who learned their ways long ago. It’s multi-generational, handed down from father to son, apparently embraced with enthusiasm by many young males. Last Sunday, near Amman, Jordan, a 19-year-old confessed to killing his 22-year-old sister because she frequently left her family’s house without permission. He said he was cleansing his family’s honour. In Basra, Iraq, last year, a Muslim teenager was killed by her father and brothers for flirting with a British soldier. The killers were not charged and their crime was approved of within the community. According to news reports, the father was proud of his sons: “They were men enough to help me finish the life of someone who brought shame to ours.”

In the London Review of Books, Tariq Ali, the British-Pakistani novelist and anti-West political campaigner, revealed a killing in his own family. His uncle’s 18-year-old granddaughter was shot by her brothers because she refused to stop seeing a man. Ali was particularly shocked to learn that his uncle had the body buried that same day without reporting her death to the police.

This week, an article in the European Journal of Public Health estimated that “One in every five homicides in Pakistan is a so-called ‘honour killing.’”

Saudi child sold to pay fathers debts

Islam put’s very little value on females. However, when sold as a sex slave the female then has value. This dirty deed goes on with the support of the Saudi government and legal system.

Slavery 1. thralldom, enthrallment. Slavery, bondage, servitude refer to involuntary subjection to another or others. Slavery emphasizes the idea of complete ownership and control by a master: to be sold into slavery. Bondage indicates a state of subjugation or captivity often involving burdensome and degrading labor: in bondage to a cruel master. Servitude is compulsory service, often such as is required by a legal penalty: penal servitude. 4. moil, labor.sexslave2

Saudi judge upholds man’s marriage to 8-year-old

CNN) — A Saudi mother is expected to appeal a judge’s ruling after he once again refused to let her 8-year-old daughter divorce a 47-year-old man, a relative said.

Sheikh Habib Al-Habib made the ruling Saturday in the Saudi city of Onaiza. Late last year, he rejected a petition to annul the marriage.

The case, which has drawn criticism from local and international rights groups, came to light in December when Al-Habib declined to annul the marriage on a legal technicality. His dismissal of the mother’s petition sparked outrage and made headlines around the world.

The judge said the mother, who is separated from the girl’s father, was not the legal guardian and therefore could not represent her daughter, the mother’s lawyer, Abdullah al-Jutaili, said at the time.

The girl’s husband pledged not to consummate the marriage until the girl reaches puberty, according to al-Jutaili, who added that the girl’s father arranged the marriage to settle his debts with the man, who is considered “a close friend.”

In March, an appeals court in the Saudi capital of Riyadh declined to certify the original ruling, in essence rejecting al-Habib’s verdict, and sent the case back to al-Habib for reconsideration.

Under the Saudi legal process, the appeals court ruling meant that the marriage was still in effect, but that a challenge to the marriage was still ongoing.

The relative, who said the girl’s mother will continue to pursue a divorce, told CNN the judge “stuck by his earlier verdict and insisted that the girl could petition the court for a divorce once she reached puberty.” Continue Reading →

Turkey : the EU’s Trojan Horse

Please read a little more on the country Americas new president has vowed to support.

from the Austalian Islamist Monitor

trojanhorse2Everyone knows the famous story of how the Greeks captured the city of Troy using the decoy of a wooden horse in which soldiers had been hidden. Helen, the wife of the king of Sparta had been captured by Paris of Troy and taken to Troy.  Following ten years of siege, the Greeks used the deception of a wooden horse to take the city. Today the tables might be reversing as Turkey strives to be admitted to the EU and could well prove to be a “Trojan Horse” to secular Europe. Recent events show that Turkey is moving away from the secular state formed by Ataturk in 1923 when he abolished the Caliphate, ending the Ottoman Islamic empire.

It is useful to reflect on what the EU might inherit inside the Trojan Horse that is Turkey today. Continue Reading →
