Syrian gang rape victim who fled to Germany 'honor killed'

[AnnaG]

That's just sad and it makes me so angry that dung-headed troglodytes would kill kids (or abuse them) in the name of their religion. And I couldn't give two hoots which religion they use for an excuse. These bits of sewer scum have no respect for life.
And politics, same thing. Neither religion or politics are worth spit if they call for abuse.

What did Kipling write? East is East and West is West
And never the twain shall meet. The customs of one
part of the world are different than others in his modern
time.
In our modern time we find these customs incompatible
with ours and they are not acceptable. Honor killings are
a disgrace. We allow the custom of abusing people in the
name of religion but not killing people in the name of a
religion. That too is unacceptable. I don't care where you
come from but religion or customs aside all should have to
live in the same legal context. Just because its custom
women should not be held to another standard in a free and
open society regardless of where they came from

And from there we come to more modern customs called "Legal abortions"

If we consider the dead of war since 2001 assigned to coalition bombing and conquest we should be able to differentiate the greater evil. Where some are killed in situations like the OP describes thousands are killed from aircraft attacks and I have seen the pilots pray to gentle Jesus with their chaplins in the hangers and barracks and sent on their way with gods blessing. Just because these acts of murder are shared with the many and in the name of national defence cannot possibly render them as any thing other than barbaric acts of cowards and fools. So there we have a western custom tradition even of the most henious acts of barbarity rotinely and blithely described as great acts of the purest compassion for our fellow citizens. We can and do forgive our greater act of barbarity when we have some smaller act of the alleged enemy to point to. What kind of shallow justification is that?

Why quote Kipling? Some of his poems are outright racist. Just think of his poem the White Man's Burden among others. One of his poems talks about catching a n!gger by the toe. His novel Kim accuses Indian mutineers as traitors to the empire, and we want to quote Kipling?!

Apr 24, 2014 - An Orthodox Jew from Jerusalem beats his daughter in public near the wailing wall (these are the stairs that lead to the wailing wall plaza), the

Islam claims to be a Religion of Peace, I don't think any other religion makes that bold statement...

The girl was beaten for talking to a boy, not in the name of their religion.

The girl was killed in the name of Islam.

I can post a thousand articles that refute what you said.

You can repeat a lie a thousand times, it doesn't make it any truer.

How many times in the past forty years have we heard that Israel only wants to live in peace with it's neighbours

How many times in the last 40 years has Israel been unprovokedly attacked.

while at the same time conducting genocide on those same neighbours?

Genocide? On whom? Certainly not the Palestinians. You see, UN and Palestinian figures betray your lies. For the last 20-25 years, ethnic Palestinians have been one of the fastest growing demographics on the planet. That would be the exact opposite of genocide.

They never had any claim to Palestine neither historical or otherwise and they are illeagle occupyers of Palestine. They are outlaws pure and simple.

Nope, they never had any claim to Palestine but you're missing the bigger picture. Egypt attacked Israel. Israel took some of their land. Eventually they gave it back when Egypt showed it wasn't going to be a dick anymore. Same with Jordan. Same with Syria. Same with Lebanon. And for the most part, those countries have not engaged Israel in open war. Palestine, not so much. They willingly joined a publicly declared a war of extermination against Israel. And every time Israel gives them back land they took from them, the Palestinians waste NO time in using it to launch attacks against Israel. That's why Israel keeps taking land and isn't giving it back anymore. They have no incentive to stop as long as the Palestinian leadership keeps initiating attacks against Israel.


Never mid the fact that Palestine was never an independent state. Let's see, it's been Jordanian territory(the West Bank anyway) British territory, Jordanian territory again, Syrian territory, part of the Ottoman Empire, Syrian territory again, Roman territory, the list goes on.
Once again, if it wasn't for Israel, Palestine wouldn't even exist today. Before the start of the Arab-Israeli War, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon had plans on dividing up both Israeli and Palestinian lands after Israel was annihilated. The simple fact is, the Arab world didn't trust the Palestinians. Probably because ethnically, Palestinians aren't Arabs.
All of this is documented in the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine report.


The enemy of the Palestinian people is its own leadership and various other muslim states, not Israel. Israel was content to live in peace but after 67 years of basically being in a state of war because their neighbours are a$$holes it's no surprise they're reacting the way they are now.
