Michelle Obama Styles Her New Hijab
(Story at the Daily Mail)
Allah Says, "pour acid on your daughter"
Because what else would serve as a reasonable punishment for a girl seeing the light and marrying a non-Muslim?
Oh, apparently pouring acid on her, strangling her, then throwing her into the Ganges Canal, all in the name of Muhammad (peace be upon his rotting corpse.)
In an alleged attempted “honour killing”, a man poured acid on his daughter and threw her into a canal for planning to marry a man from another religion Tuesday, police said. The girl is in critical condition in hospital.Gulistan, 18, daughter of Asghar Ali of Charaura village in Bulandshahr district, 350 km from Lucknow, fell in love with Ravinder, 20, who ran a medical store in the village and often came to their house to deliver medicines.
The couple eloped 10 days back but were traced to Delhi and Gulistan was taken back to the village. Her parents then pretended that they had agreed to let her marry Ravinder and asked her to come with them to Delhi to buy clothes for the marriage.
Under Sharia law, a Muslim man can marry whomever he pleases, but a Muslim woman can only marry a man of the same faith, lest she be made to look like Freddie Krueger by her father. Fortunately the girl lived, though I’m guessing she’ll be thinking twice before she goes to see her Hindu husband, Ravinder again.
Bat Ye'or speaking in Canada!
From the International Free Press Society:
Born in Cairo, Bat Ye’or found asylum in London as a stateless refugee in 1957 and became British on marriage, settling in Switzerland. Since 1971 she has written five books and scores of articles on non-Muslims under Islam, including The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude, Islam and Dhimmitude:
Where Civilizations Collide, and Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, which described the gradual transformation of Europe into “Eurabia”. A highly sought-after speaker, she has presented at dozens of international conferences and symposiums, and given briefings to government legislatures, including the U.S. Congress.
Sam Solomon, a convert to Christianity and an expert on Islam, is a senior lecturer and research coordinator, a human rights activist and an advisor to British as well as European parliamentarians. Sam has authored a number of thought-provoking books and numerous articles on Christian Muslim relations.
“The extraordinary researches of Bat Ye’or on the Euro-Arab Dialogue, and on the growing ‘dhimmitude’ (status of submission) exhibited by the leaders and rulers of Western Europe toward Islam, have been for me an amazing revelation, one that at first I wished to deny myself, but her evidence proved overwhelming.”
La Forza della Ragione -Oriana Fallaci
“Bat Ye’or has traced a nearly secret history of Europe over the past thirty years, convincingly showing how the Euro-Arab Dialogue has blossomed from a minor discussion group into the engine for the continent’s Islamization. In delineating this phenomenon, she also provides the intellectual resources with which to resist it. Will her message be listened to?”
-Daniel Pipes
No writer has done more than Bat Ye’or to draw attention to the menacing character of Islamic extremism. Future historians will one day regard her coinage of the term ‘Eurabia’ as prophetic. Those who wish to live in a free society must be eternally vigilant. Bat Ye’or vigilance is unrivalled.”
-Niall Ferguson
“Such a Euroarabian identity is dangerous for the Jewish people. Here I agree with Bat Ye’or’s argument that Europe has been engaged in a self-capitulation to Islamist demands in the name of a misconceived multiculturalism.”
-Robert Wistrich
“Bat Ye’or is one of the only analysts in the world with the courage and insight necessary to state clearly what is happening in Europe today. Her account of the betrayal by the European powers of their own identity and history will stand for future historians as a cautionary tale of cultural suicide.”
-Robert Spencer
A new one for the Human Rights Commission
For once in my life, I’m actually going to give Quebec credit for something! A Muslim girl enrolled in a “transition” class at a CEGEP school in Montreal to help her in the big move from Egypt to Canada. In her class, an executive decision was made to have her remove her Niqab (a Burqa without the screens over the eyes) so that she could participate in the class as all the other students were forced to. After much back and forth between the student, the teacher, the school’s administration and the responsible Ministry in the Quebec government, she was expelled, even after refusing to study online. Given that the Qu’ran doesn’t require the wearing of a Niqab, one can only assume that she was (a) trying to be a pain in the ass; or, (b) trying to hide something. Either way, kudos to the government for showing her the door. Hopefully she won’t face an honor killing by an oppressive, vile Sharia-following father.
(And yes, it was only a matter of time before she decided to file a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. I’m sure that the Jennifer Lynch mob will have some fun as they destroy the life of the school’s principal.)
