Ex-sex slave hails death verdict for culprit
Arab News
 
Quote:
A teenage Afghan girl has praised the death sentence handed to the Egyptian who imprisoned and sexually exploited her for the last four years, Al-Madinah daily reported on Thursday. Madinah police rescued the 14-year-old girl, known as Raziah, from her kidnappers earlier this year.

A Madinah court sentenced Muhammad Al-Junaidi and his sister Jamalat to death by beheading, a decision endorsed by a committee of judges on Wednesday.

His wives were also jailed for helping him. First wife Fatimah was sentenced to 10 years in jail, while second and third wives Merfat and Zainab were each imprisoned for one year and 500 lashes.

“I will never forgive Junaidi and his wives for torturing me physically and mentally. The court has handed them a fitting punishment,” Raziah said, adding that the verdict would also help her father and brothers regain their badly damaged reputation. She said she now wants to resume her education. Junaidi, his sister Jamalat and his wives were arrested in January in connection with the kidnapping of Raziah, who was abducted near the Prophet’s Mosque. The case had caused a public outcry, with some calling for the maximum punishment to be handed out.

In the case, presided over by Judge Abdul Mohsen Al-Qasim, the prosecution successfully proved Junaidi, with the help of his sister and wives, was guilty of the charges including kidnapping, imprisoning and sexually exploiting a minor.

...

Raziah told Arab News Jamalat had lured her to Junaidi’s house where she was kept a prisoner, as he wanted to marry her after planning to smuggle her to Egypt, before police reunited her with her parents in January. She added that they had changed her name to Duaa and were about to leave the country.

Video of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas

PA Chairman Abbas sends greetings of "honor and esteem" to ("Palestinian") terrorists on ("Palestinian") TV on - Apr. 17, 2008:



PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian TV (Fatah) Feb. 14, 2005: I ordered to carry out the resistance.



PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian TV (Fatah) Apr. 27, 2009 : "The 'Jewish state'. What is a 'Jewish state'? We call it the 'State of Israel'. You can call yourselves whatever you want, but I will not accept it.

PA TV (Fatah), Oct. 6, 2009:

Interviewer: "The occupation [Israel] released 20 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a video confirming that [Israeli hostage] Gilad Shalit is alive. What do you think about this?"

Abbas: "I see it from only one perspective – 20 female Palestinian prisoners have left prison. The price may be high or low, that is not the issue. The issue is that some prisoners have left prison, which gives hope to many others. We have 11,000 prisoners. We will definitely, always and forever, act to free them using all means."

"Top 5 List of Stupidest Fatwas"

From Islam Review:

http://www.islamreview.com/articles/top_5_list_of_stupidest_fatwas.shtml

Top 5 List of Stupidest Fatwas....

Quote:

Salman Rushdie

Who: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran

What: A fatwa is simply a religious ruling in Islam—most often, it seems, fatwas are about sexual matters—but Westerners usually associate the term with the notorious 1989 death sentence against British author Salman Rushdie. At the time, Khomeini was seeking to distract his followers from the pointless slaughter of the recently ended Iran-Iraq war, during which hundreds of thousands of Iranians were killed and wounded.

Unclothed sex

Who: Rashad Hassan Khalil, former dean of Islamic law at al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt

What: When Khalil ruled in January 2006 that for married couples, “being completely naked during the act of coitus annuls the marriage,” liberal Egyptians howled with derision. Other scholars rejected Khalil’s logic on the grounds that everything but “sodomy” is halal in a marriage.

Pokémon

Who: Saudi Arabia’s Higher Committee for Scientific Research and Islamic Law

What: Denouncing the lovable Japanese cartoon characters as having “possessed the minds” of Saudi youngsters, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious authority banned Pokémon video games and cards in the spring of 2001. Not only do Saudi scholars believe that Pokémon encourages gambling, which is forbidden in Islam, but it is apparently a front for Israel as well.

Polio vaccine

Who: Local mullahs in rural Pakistan

What: Pakistan’s largest Islamist umbrella group, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), issued a fatwa in January 2007 endorsing the provincial government’s efforts to immunize children from polio in the country’s Northwest Frontier Province.

Breast-feeding

Who: Ezzat Atiya, a lecturer at Cairo’s al-Azhar University

What: Many Muslims believe that unmarried men and women should not work alone together—a stricture that can pose problems in today’s global economy. So one Islamic scholar came up with a novel solution: If a woman were to breast-feed her male colleague five times, the two could safely be alone together. “A woman at work can take off the veil or reveal her hair in front of someone whom she breast-fed,” he wrote in an opinion issued in May 2007.

Mohammad er det mest populære navnet i Oslo.
 
(iOslo.no) Det viser Statistisk Sentralbyrås navnestatistikk for 2008.
Til sammen 120 gutter i Oslo fikk Mohammad som første fornavn i fjor. Navnet skrives på mange forskjellige måter, men dette slås sammen i statistikken. Også i 2007 var Mohammad det mest populære guttenavnet i hovedstaden.

Sjekk oversikten over guttenavn i Oslo her.
Sjekk oversikten over jentenavn i Oslo her.
Utenfor hovedstaden er det imidlertid langt færre som får navnet Mohammad. Bare 56 gutter fikk dette navnet i resten av landet.
Statistisk sentralbyrå opplyser at det ikke er noe nytt fenomen at mange velger å kalle opp sønnen etter profeten Mohammad, men vet ikke hvorfor det er så populært.
- Jeg har prøvd å prate med folk av pakistansk opprinnelse og fått to ulike historier. Noen sier at Mohammad er å betrakte som en slags tittel. De som sier det er forholdsvis ortodokse. De mer moderne bruker det som et navn slik som vi er vant til, sier rådgiver i Statistisk sentralbyrå Jørgen Ouren til Østlandssendingen.
Det nest mest populære guttenavnet i Oslo var Jakob. 76 gutter fikk tildelt dette navnet.
Når det kommer til jentene er det Sara og Sofie som er de mest populære navnene. Henholdsvis 75 og 73 hovedstadsjenter fikk dette navnet i 2008

Gender Inconsistencies

Gender Inconsistencies
November 4th, 2009 by Pelle Billing

1.Women want full independence — Women want male protection when things get rough or dangerous

2.Men and women can vote — The draft and compulsory military service are male only

3.Men are expected to work in jobs that they do not care for to support their families - Men are lazy for not doing half of the housework

4.When boys perform badly in school there is a “crisis in masculinity” — When girls or women perform badly they are being discriminated against

5.Women “get rid of jerks” — Men “cannot commit”

6.Male circumcision is a proud tradition — Female circumcision is abhorred, even the kinds that are milder than male circumcision

7.Commenting on a woman’s cleavage is sexual harassment — A woman who purposely flaunts her cleavage at work is not sexually harassing anyone

8.All good men pay for the date — All good men support gender neutral pay

9.Men’s financial power must be controlled — Women’s sexual power must be liberated

10.Fathers should take care of their children — Children aren’t DNA tested to establish paternity

11.Men prey on women — Women exercise their sexual freedom

12.The overarching inconsistency: Men are responsible for their actions and failures — Women are victims of circumstances or societal structures
