Posted on November 9, 2010 at 11:43amUntameable – I can’t agree with you more. Any religion, no matter how peaceful it pretends to be, if it treats others, either within their religion or outside it, as second class citizens then it is a odious belief system. I am astounded how the left placate the Muslim faith – such as the judge who halted the implantation of a state amendment banning Sharia Law. Where is their sense of justice in protecting the weakest among us? Women who rather painfully kill themselves because of the wrath or shame of their family is disturbing. Can we hear the outcry from the women’s organizations or are they still too busy calling Meg Whitman a whore?

Posted on November 9, 2010 at 11:39amThis is a very sad story, unfortunately there are many other sad stories concerning the people of Afghanistan. I live in Kabul and have been living in parts of Afghanistan for the last 6 years. These people here for the most part are hard working and decent folk who only need guidance and education and they would flouish. Sadly though, their government is extremely corrupt and with the Taliban on the opposite side condemning education and basic human rights, I believe that the people here are doomed for many years to come.

Allah is diametrically opposed to these freedoms and rights. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!

Posted on November 9, 2010 at 11:43pm@KNIGHTOFHOPEX …when I was a contractor in Iraq, I was in Fallujah, unarmed except with the Ka-Bar I had bought my 1st year in the Marine Corps. Anytime i was carried by convoy to where i was headed, i asked the turret gunner if I could use his weapon if any firefight went down. They pretty much knew me, and knew that I was a 7/7 rifle expert when I was a Marine, so the answer was always “You damn sure BETTER use it!” with a giggle. My theory then, as it is now, is that there was NO WAY these guys would EVER capture me and behead me for their propaganda tapes. I didn’t then, and don’t now, care if I have to rip the juggular out of their necks with my teeth, I will never give up and if it is hopeless, i’ll bleed out as many as I am able before I drive my Ka-Bar into my own guts, and die with Bushiddo Honor (as another posted mentioned).

Posted on November 9, 2010 at 2:10pmTo Rebel,
You need to understand that in this type of culture, it is not about people, it’s about status. A gift was expected, but the woman didn’t bring one regardless of the reason, so it was seen as an insult to the relative who gave the party. That means it’s a reduction in status for the relative and possibly the family. I don’t like it, but I’ve been told repeatedly that all cultures are equal, so there you go.
Actually the practice is not necessarily limited to Afghanistan because the Japanese practiced a form of it called Seppuku. This is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai bushido honor code, seppuku was used voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely suffer torture), as a form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed serious offenses, or performed for other reasons that had brought shame to themIt was also permissible as a form of repentance when one had committed an unforgivable sin, either by accident or on purpose. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku)
Samurai women could also commit ritual suicide, but this was usually done by slashing the throat with a small knife. (http://www.japan-101.com/culture/seppuku.htm)
The last known person to commit seppuku Isao Inokuma, a Japanese Judo expert after he became the CEO of the Tokai company in 1993, but committed suicide in 2001 by means of seppuku, possibly due to the financial losses suffered by his company. He was 63 years old. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isao_Inokuma)
In India, it was also practiced in a form called sati.
This refers to a religious funeral practice among some Hindu communities in which a recently widowed Hindu woman either voluntarily or by use of force and coercion immolates herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. The term is derived from the original name of the goddess Sati, also known as Dakshayani, who self-immolated because she was unable to bear her father Daksha’s humiliation of her (living) husband Shiva. The act of sati is said to exist voluntarily; from the existing accounts, many of these acts did indeed occur voluntarily. The act may have been expected of widows in some communities, and the extent to which social pressures or expectations constitute compulsion has been much debated in modern times. However, there were also instances where the wish of the widow to commit sati was not welcomed by others, and where efforts were made to prevent the death. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)
Also, it is important to note that in an Islamic country, the woman is the possession of the man. If a man feels that a woman in his family has shamed him, he has the right to perform an honor killing. It actually elevates him in the eyes of the community.
I don’t know if you noticed the woman who was tending the 17 year old at home said something like if she died, that’s okay, but not this way – it would leave a scar of a thousand years on my heart. I wonder exactly what that means, whether the girl‘s death because she couldn’t stand her husband would be a serious humiliation for her or whether the idea of the girl dying would be a personal grief.
Personally, I hope all the woman libbers who watch this cry bucket and hopefully one or two will realize that this is what Islam holds for them. I find it interesting that the blame was indirectly put on the anti-Taliban forces because of the way the economy has been and that it is the economy first and foremost that cause this rather than the cultural practices.

Homosexuality is a perversion of sexuality and it goes against the teachings of the Bible
When those who ARE homosexual, by choice or not, when all those who minds are SO warped they can’t truly think right for themselves, for all those who have believed the Bible says this, when it really says that… (thanks to ministers who deceive) are all healed and cleansed of their sins, we can then forget this past life where Satan rules.
It’s a choice just like killing a Baby. You don’t have to do it.
I guess men who think little children are hot and sexy don’t have a choice either? I can not believe a real man of God can think this way. He has been influenced by Satan.
They claim its not a choice so they can get a free pass to be corrupt.

No one mentioned homosexuality on this thread prior to your post. No one mentioned it in the video clip.
However, let me take a moment to encourage you to research how Muslims treat homosexuals.
According to the International Lesbian and Gay Association ILGA there are at least seven countries today which still retain capital punishment for homosexuality. All are predominately Muslim countries. They are: Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. The situation with regard to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is unclear.

So, you can think what you want about Christians being intolerant of homosexuals, but the Muslims have the market cornered.
