RUTHFULLY YOURS

This is your country. This is your country on Islam.

A leading Saudi Arabian “self-help” writer has urged his 97,000+ Twitter followers to sexually molest working women in the nation’s grocery stores. Using the hashtag #harass_female_cashiers, Abdullah Mohammed Daoud reportedly called for the move as a means to press for Saudi women to stay at home and protect their chastity.

And using Muslim logic, there’s no better way to protect female chastity than through sexual abuse. Either that or an honor killing.

But surely this horrible behavior can’t be based on Islam? Yes, yes it can.

Daoud’s tweet, which was translated and picked up by Gulf News, was apparently “justified” by a homily about a 7th century Islamic warrior who did not want his wife to leave home to visit the mosque.

The paper writes: “Daoud claimed that Al Zubair hid in the dark one night and molested his wife on the street. The wife rushed home and decided against ever going out of her house again, saying ‘there is no safer place than home and the world out there is corrupt’.”

If you ever wanted to read some Muslim versions of O’Henry stories, Al Zubair is apparently your guy for that. I hear Al Jazeera is thinking of making that into a sitcom.

But let’s be fair here. Abdullah Mohammed Daoud is just a writer. He’s not a Muslim religious authority. No Muslim cleric would distort say that Islam in any way supports molesting strange women to get them to quit work.

But wait…

Sheikh Khalid Ebrahim Al Saqabi, a conservative cleric, endorsed Al Dawood’s calls and said a law proposed by the government against sexual harassment in newly mixed workplaces was “only meant to encourage consensual debauchery”.

Around the same time last year, Newsweek marked a major milestone. The loss of 2.5 million readers in ten years. Since then it lost another million leaving […]

Last month, two welfare-receiving immigrants in the United States, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, set off bombs at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring hundreds. By the end of the week, they had murdered a cop and engaged in a wild shoot-out and bomb-throwing […]

In US Air Force lingo, fighter pilots don’t run off and leave their wingmen. If one of our own is shot down, still alive and not yet in enemy captivity, we will either come to […]

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/davidhornik/obama-floats-syria-no-fly-zone-amid-explosive-showdown/ A war of words and threats is shaping up over the Syrian issue. On one side stands Russia, the embattled Assad regime’s main backer along with Iran. On the other—not necessarily acting in any sort of unison—stand the United States, Europe, and Israel. The Daily Beast reports that the Obama administration “has asked the […]

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3732/grievances-defense If grievances explain terrorism, the implication is that removing the grievances would remove the terrorism. The U.S. was warned, however, before 9/11, that it faced a “poisonous coalition” of terror groups, wealthy sheiks, military establishments and intelligence, all fueled with an apparently endless supply of indoctrinated recruits from madrassas and mosques. This coalition now […]

What then? “The terrorists will never win, because they can never beat the values that we hold dear.” That was David Cameron in response to the butchering on a London street of […]

http://pjmedia.com/andrewmccarthy/2013/05/29/lunatics-run-the-asylum/ Here we go again. Recall that the Obama administration chose to indict Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law in civilian federal court for the 9/11 attacks and the overarching al Qaeda conspiracy to kill Americans — thus undermining the military commission case at Gitmo against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other 9/11 attackers. Now we learn […]

“Here, 95 years ago, the U.S. Marines stopped the German army’s last great offensive of World War I.”

At Belleau Wood, just outside Paris, the scars of war are everywhere: shell holes so large they could hold a car, the remains of trenches, pockmarked stone walls and trees that still contain pockets of mustard gas trapped deep in their trunks.

Here, 95 years ago, the U.S. Marines stopped the German army’s last great offensive of World War I.

This week, as an unpaid volunteer historian, I accompanied 20 men and women of the U.S. Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment as they carefully tramped back to the front where their Marine forebears fought nearly a century ago. Later in the week, I will give them a guided tour of Pointe du Hoc and the other crucial beaches and airborne-drop zones of Normandy.
All the Marines on this trip received severe wounds in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan. Three were wounded in both conflicts. For some veterans, intense firefights and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) took their arms and legs. Many carry scars that vividly arc across their bodies.

As we rode to the battlefield, they shared memories of fighting as intense as any that I had heard from the thousands of World War II soldiers and Marines I have interviewed over the years. Several of the Marines showed me pictures of their spines and legs that resembled erector sets.
