Tolerance, Muslim-Style
In the IHT, the AP says the president of Chechnya, upon coming out of afternoon prayers at a mosque, explained "with chilling composure" why seven young women who'd been shot in the head deserved to die:
Ramzan Kadyrov said the women, whose bodies were found dumped by the roadside, had "loose morals" and were rightfully shot by male relatives in honor killings."If a woman runs around and if a man runs around with her, both of them are killed," Kadyrov told journalists in the capital of this Russian republic.
The 32-year-old former militia leader is carrying out a campaign to impose Islamic values and strengthen the traditional customs of predominantly Muslim Chechnya...
...Some in Russia say Kadyrov's attempt to create an Islamic society violates the Russian constitution, which guarantees equal rights for women and a separation of church and state. But the Kremlin has given him its staunch backing, seeing him as the key to keeping the separatists in check, and that has allowed him to impose his will.
...Kadyrov describes women as the property of their husbands and says their main role is to bear children. He encourages men to take more than one wife, even though polygamy is illegal in Russia. Women and girls are now required to wear headscarves in all schools, universities and government offices.
I'll tolerate you believing in astrology, numerology, feng shui, or that there's a big man in the sky, and that he actually gives a shit about whether you gave somebody the finger in traffic today. However, the moment you seek to murder me because I don't care whether the moon is in Capricorn and I don't believe leaving the front and back doors open will cause more than a draft (feng shui nutters believe your luck will fly out the back door, or something like that)...that's when you should be locked up for quite some time, and probably put on an incapacitating dose of meds. And you probably will be -- unless you play the Muslim card.
To borrow from they used to say (silence = death) during the worst of the AIDs years in New York: Tolerance = death.
Well at least that guy wants the men killed too, not just the women.
I guess that would count as progress in the Islamic world.
Penn + Teller did a hilarious "Bullshit" show on Feng Shui. They secretly videotaped 3 separate Feng Shui'ers they hired to redecorate the same small house.
3 different schemes with some directly opposite setups justified with the same Feng Shui nonsense.

Thanks Amy- You never cease to blow my mind with the Islamic madness going on in the world. Thanks for being so tireless in your exposure of this evil. I started out thinking like most that it was only a few crazies out there tainting the religion - but now I know that this insidious force is far more dangerous! I just wish more would listen! I forward your stuff to all my family and friends constantly...

So, I think that NOW or some other group needs to start a fundraising program to teach women in these Islamowacko countries how to shoot. The NRA could get involved. Having a handy sidearm under that burkha might make Ali or Muhammed think twice.

Thanks so much, Heather. We need to all spread the word until people understand that we're not crazy or bigoted, just informed.
Personally, just to clarify again for anybody new here, I think anybody who believes in stuff, sans evidence -- be it astrology, feng shui, or the notion that there's a big man in the sky who gives a shit about what you do -- is a nitwit. If, however, your particular brand of nitwittery doesn't call for killing me or squelching my free speech and taking away other rights, well, keep on keeping on, in all your nitwittiness.

so are the Chechen seperatists muslim too? That would be a capital reason to leave the area and move somewhere else, because it doesn't matter if the bear wins or the wolf, the rabbit always loses...

I'm surprised and pleased that the AP printed this story. We need increased awareness of this sort of thing.
anybody who believes in stuff, sans evidence . . . is a nitwit.
What evidence do you have for that?
(I think everybody is a nitwit, so technically I agree.)

The universe is very demanding when it insists that for every action there must be an equal, and opposite, reaction.
Decades of militant Feminism in the West has been the action. What do YOU think the reaction will be? If the opposition to come is truly equal, well, then, we in the West, and women especially, are in for some very interesting times, indeed!
I've long wondered when and how payment will inevitably be made for the "free lunch" feminists have been handing out for so long. And debts such as these have a way of accruing interest ...

Jihad is in no way whatsoever a reaction to feminism or anything else good or bad about the West. Jihadis are simply following the commands of Muhammad, who, in his last sermon, preached that all Muslims must fight until the whole world surrenders to Islam. And that's exactly what they've been doing, ever since the 7th century.
Note that the victims in this story were Muslim women, as they almost always are. For a preview of what's likely to happen when jihadis really start pushing their notions of morality on free Western women, read up on Leigh Ann Hester:
http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=29819
Four years ago in Iraq, 50 goatfuckers made the mistake of ambushing a convoy led by Sgt. Hester, a shoe saleswoman from Nashville in the National Guard. When the dust settled, no Americans were lost, but 27 jihadis were dead, 6 wounded, and the rest had fled into the desert in panic. Leigh Ann sent several of them to Paradise personally, and she got a Silver Star for her trouble. NOW & the rest of organized feminism had nothing to say about her. You've noticed that they don't have much to say when American Muslim women get beheaded by their husbands either.
If anything, Islam's war on women is exposing organized feminism and its poisonous ideology for what it is. The more it's discredited & replaced by healthier gender relations, the better. Especially if lots of jihadis get their balls shot off in the process.

Martin,
Thoughtful reply. However, given the degree to which radical feminism has infiltrated our governmental institutions and influenced our laws, "healthier gender relations" are a LONG way off, I'm afraid, and may be a pipe dream at this point.

Thank you, Martin. What an appalling article, isn't it? Newsweek should be embarrassed.
