Afghan Pedophilia: A way of life, say U.S. soldiers and journalists

0Apologists say that Bacha Bazi or ‘Boy Play’ is a very old cultural practice in Afghanistan and part of that nation’s mainstream.
Citing the Afghanistan strategy review, Vice President Joe Biden reported “great progress” in the counterterrorism effort that has significantly degraded al-Qaeda and the Taliban, particularly their leadership. Lagging behind, he said, is progress on the counterinsurgency front – eliminating terrorist safe havens in Pakistan and building a stable Afghan government.
However, not once did Biden – nor Defense Secretary Leon Panetta — mention Afghanistan’s dirty secret – a large number of pedophiles and pederasts among the Afghan male population.
Pedophilia is a widely-accepted practice in southern Afghanistan, where “boys are given to older men for the sexual gratification of the elder and the sexual education of the child,” say many returning U.S. troops.

Afghanistan: Husband, mother-in-law kill woman for giving birth to girl
last update: January 30, 10:55
Kabul, 30 Jan. (AKI) – An Afghan woman was strangled to death by her husband and mother-in-law after giving birth to her third baby girl, a police spokesman said in a report.
“She was told by her husband that if she delivered another baby girl, he would kill her,” Sayed Sarwar Hussaini told German news agency dpa in a Monday report.
“Storay, a 30-year-old mother of three, was choked to death by her husband and her mother-in-law in a remote village in Khanabad district of (northern) Kunduz province,” Hussaini said, adding that the mother-in-law has been arrested and police are searching for the husband.
The third baby girl was born three months ago, dpa said.
A 2009 law criminalised 21 acts of violence against women. However, the United Nations in November said that despite the “The 2009 Elimination of Violence against Women” law, the Afghanistan’s violence against women is widespread and mostly goes unreported to authorities.
Shafia family adds insult to injury to Canada with grotesque lie about the police
This is surreal in its magnitude and transparency. I guess the only good thing one can say about the Shafia family is that they seem to be crappy liars although not un-practiced ones perhaps.
The fact that they claim that a Canadian police department would torture their son if they didn’t falsely confess to a murder is a horrific sort of lie, because it means that we have police forces that act likes ones in Islamic nations. And we most certainly do not.
Add to that, the easily caught lie that they never saw the pictures till after the murders when there is video of the father showing off the photo album before they happened.
I must admit, the CBC did a great clip on this. I take back 10% of the nasty things I have said about them.
Shafia mass murder trial resumes.
It seems the defense is multiculturalism itself. The whole thing can be dismissed cause of misunderstandings in culture, religion, and language. I guess Canadians should just forget their entire legal history and belief in the value of human rights and the silly notion that people have a right to not be murdered, doubly so by their own parents.
‘They gave me electric shocks … I want them in jail’: Tortured Afghan child bride says she hopes her husband and his family are thrown in prison
The Guardian:
A 15-year-old Afghan girl who was tortured for months after her arranged marriage has spoken out for the first time since her rescue, saying she hopes her husband and his family are jailed for her abuse.
Sahar Gul became the bruised and bloodied face of women’s rights in Afghanistan after she was rescued in late December when an uncle called police.
Speaking in an interview on Saturday from a hospital in Kabul, Gul blamed her husband, his parents and his sister for her ordeal.

Face of Afghan women’s rights: Sahar Gul when she was rescued on December 28
‘I want them to be in jail,’ she said. ‘They gave me electric shock. … They beat me with cables and tortured me.’
She is being treated for multiple injuries that include broken fingers and ripped-out fingernails, the Associated Press reports.
Police in Baghlan province where Gul was rescued have said her in-laws locked her up and tortured her after she refused to work as a prostitute. Her husband’s parents and sister have been arrested. They deny any wrongdoing.
Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for her husband, who serves in the Afghan army.
Her doctor, Feriba Omarzada, said Gul is recovering but is still traumatized.
Being treated: Sahar on Saturday at a hospital in Kabul a week after the 15- year-old was rescued from the house of her husband’s parents
Gul’s story has shocked Afghanistan and prompted calls for more efforts to end underage marriage.
The legal marriage age in Afghanistan is 16, but the United Nations agency UN Women estimates that half of all girls are forced to marry under age 15.
Sahar Gul, 15, was in critical condition when she was rescued from a house in northern Baghlan province last week. Police say Gul’s in-laws pulled out her nails and hair, and locked her in a dark basement bathroom for about five months, with barely enough food and water to survive.

Afghan girl locked in toilet for 5 months: officials
yahoo:
Afghan police have rescued a teenage girl who was beaten and locked up in a toilet for over five months after she defied her in-laws who tried to force her into prostitution, officials said Tuesday.

“She was beaten, her fingernails were removed and her arm was broken,” district police chief Fazel Rahman told AFP.
Three women including the teenager’s mother in-law had been arrested in connection with the case but her husband had fled the area, he added. Continue Reading →

Forty-five students, among them young children, were discovered held in chains in a basement when police raided an Islamic seminary in Pakistan last night.
The male students, some said to be as young as 12 but appearing even younger, were found in what amounted to a dungeon at the Madrassa Zakarya in the Sohrab Goth district of Karachi.
Led barefoot from their prison, captives told officers they had suffered regular beatings and been hung upside down as a form of punishment.

Minorities religions under Islamist regimes: a brutal week
It’s been a brutal week for minority religions and spiritual movements in Islamist states.
The persecution of the Baha’i minority faith under the Iranian regime continues, according to Brazilian television.
Also, in Egypt this week the Salafi Party denounced the pro-democracy movement as — you guessed it — “Freemasonry” and “Zionism.”
In Iraq, liquor stores belonging to Yezidis (sun worshippers) and Assyrian Christians were attacked by mobs, set alight and destroyed. The violence erupted after Mala Ismail Osman Sindi’s Friday sermon. The imam has since been criticized for the attacks, but he insists that he “only said that instead of massage parlors, people should build mosques.” Continue Reading →
Thank you SDAMATT2a for the video
The Afghan father accused in the deaths of almost half his clan is painting an idyllic picture of family life in Canada.
Mohammad Shafia, now 58, took the witness stand to testify in his own defence Thursday morning.
Led through his evidence by his lawyer Peter Kemp, Mr. Shafia said he was a liberal parent who didn’t care how his daughters dressed, and twice sobbed as he spoke about them.
His testimony is starkly at odds with how other witnesses have described the household. They said Mr. Shafia ran the house with an iron hand and that the girls lived like political prisoners.
Still, when he described finding a picture of 17-year-old Sahar with a boy, after the death of the girl and two sisters, he said, “My children did a lot of cruelty to me.”
He, his second wife Tooba Mohammad Yahya, and their oldest son Hamed are pleading not guilty to four counts each of first-degree murder.
Sisters Sahar, 19-year-old Zainab and 13-year old-Geeti, plus Mr. Shafia’s first wife Rona Amir Mohammad, were found June 30 2009 in a black Nissan submerged at the Kingston Mills locks outside this city.
But Mr. Shafia’s two and a half hours of examination-in-chief was riddled with inconsistencies. At one point, for instance, he said he and Ms. Yahya had been at the Kingston Mills area before, apparently meaning on other holidays; at another, he said he’d never seen the area until Kingston Police showed him the accident scene.
And despite his self-portrait as a loving and kind father whose daughters called him “daddy,” it was evident he was still furious that Sahar had a boyfriend and that she and Zainab were dressing in short skirts.
“I was not happy with this,” he said of his purported discovery, after the four died, of a photo of Sahar with a boy’s arms around her. “I didn’t expect this of my children.”
Mr. Kemp put to him some of the most damaging statements Mr. Shafia made on police wiretaps which are now exhibits at trial — notably his furious wish that “the devil s—- on their graves.”
“To me, it means the devil will go out and check with them in their graves,” Mr. Shafia said. “If they have done a good thing, or a bad thing, it will be up to God.”
He will be cross-examined later Thursday.

Karzai says Kabul attack was plotted in Pakistan
Despite this, we can all rest easy knowing that no matter how many bombings in Afghanistan against Muslims for being the wrong flavor of Muslims, when it comes to a war between any Western nation and Pakistan, Afghanistan will side with Pakistan.
Washington Post:
By Ernesto Londoño, Updated: Wednesday, December 7, 9:27 AM
KABUL — Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Wednesday that the suicide bombing targeting Shiite worshipers in Kabul that killed dozens was plotted in Pakistan.Speaking at a hospital where victims of Tuesday’s attack outside a shrine in the Afghan capital were being treated, Karzai said he would demand answers from the Pakistani government about the bombing.

Afghan shrine blasts kill 58 on Shiite holy day
By Sardar Ahmad (AFP) – 5 hours ago
KABUL — Twin blasts at Afghan shrines on the Shiite holy day of Ashura left at least 58 people dead on Tuesday, with one massive suicide attack in Kabul ripping through a crowd of worshippers including children.
The attack in the capital and another in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif came a day after an international meeting in Germany aimed at charting a course for Afghanistan, 10 years after US-led forces drove the Taliban from power.
The Kabul blast alone killed 54 people, in the deadliest strike on the capital in three years. The Taliban condemned the attacks as “inhumane” and instead blamed the bloodshed on the “invading enemy”.
The explosion erupted at the entrance to a riverside shrine in central Kabul, where hundreds of singing Shiite Muslims had gathered to mark Ashura, with men whipping their bare backs as part of the traditional mourning.
Gunmen spray Afghan woman with acid after refusing marriage
Check out the ‘journalism’ (read, the propaganda of the leftist narrative for Islam) in this CNN post. They use every adjective for the attackers they could except, ‘terrorist’ or ‘Muslim’.
There is only one reason a man would spray 3 women with disfiguring painful acid because her family turned down his marriage request.
Because it wasn’t, nor is it ever a request. The question part of a proposal is a mere formality in Islam. If a woman, or even a proxy for a woman refuses then she must be shown what happens to women who attempt to act as humans capable of agency in an Islamic land. Just like the honor killings grown more and more common in the west with the ascendancy of Islam, covering it up by calling them, ‘Gunmen’, ‘militants’, or ‘insurgents’ does far far more harm than good. Call it what it is. Islamic terrorism and supremacy.

An Afghan family of five were sprayed with acid when the father rejected a man’s offer to marry his teenage daughter.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- The gunmen break into their home and attack the teenager
- Her sisters and parents are also attacked
- The teenager is in intensive care and her father is still hospitalized
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) — Gunmen attacked and sprayed an Afghan family with acid in their home after the father rejected a man’s bid to marry his teenage daughter, authorities said Thursday.
The gunmen broke into their home and attacked the 18-year-old daughter, her two sisters and their parents, according to authorities in Kunduz province.
All five received medical treatment, with the mother and two daughters later discharged, medical officials said.
The teenager is in intensive care and her father is still hospitalized, said Abdul Shokoor Rahimi, a doctor at the provincial hospital.
The attack came on the heels of her family’s refusal to marry off the teen to another local gunman.
A month ago, a gunman tried to marry the teenager, but her family turned him down and instead got her engaged to a relative, said Nadera Geya, head of women’s affairs in the province. Continue Reading →
Who is more totalitarian, Afghanistan, or the EU?
This story makes me rather ill. To recap so far,
A Danish film maker does a documentary about Afghanistan and women’s (lack of) rights there.
Her film is then banned by some (until now) unelected faceless bureaucrat at the European Union because he is afraid of making the Afghan justice system look bad. The exact point of the fifth estate is in fact, to expose the horrors of government institutions and even private ones, so the EU banning a documentary for telling the truth strikes me as every bit as bad as what the Afghans are doing to their women. Worse in that Afghan women know they can expect this at least.
The subtext the EU bureaucrat uses, is that it might endanger the life of the young woman languishing in an Afghan jail. At least the EU was smart enough to make-up a reason that would be more palatable to those EUropeans still living in the gossamer-thin illusion that they live in a democracy.
Next, the Danish film maker goes back to Afghanistan where she says quite clearly that she wants Europeans to see her in jail, to know what happened to her specifically to embarrass the Karzai government in the hopes something will change. Again, this is the entire point of mass media. This woman could have been a student of Thomas Jefferson.
This of course shows that there is only one reason the EU bans the documentary. To not make Islam or Islamic law look bad, merely because it is bad. The EU does not lift the ban even though the victim explains how much she wants this information to get out.
Now, the Afghan government is offering her a ‘get-out-of-jail early card if she marries her rapist.
Watch the EU bureaucrat explain why he banned a film for all Europeans. Clearly Western EUrope lost the cold war. Truth, takes a distant back seat to convenience for a few.
