OK, but again, is this procedure killing anyone? - no.
Will it stop someone from being killed? Most likely yes
I don’t see the comparison.
Also remember, in many cases these women are being forced to marry tribal savages when in many cases they’d probably rather marry some nice European guy and possibly get out of the whackjob religion they’re in.
I'd say more like regression to the stone age, but that would be insulting to stone age people everywhere.
GeicoMan would need years of therapy.
Still, stories like these really make me think they all need to get bombed back to the stone age where they obviously want to be.
They're BEGGING for it. It's like they're screaming "Please, please Kill Us! We're INSANE", or like the Monty Python Gumby: "MY BRAIN HURTS!, IT MUST COME OUT!"
It's too bad there isn't the equivalent of a neutron bomb for regressive Muslims. It would only wipe out the blood lusting Islamofacist homicidal terrorists and leave the rest still standing.
Islam is a total lie.
A teen abortion without the parent's consent destroys another life.
If the future husband is a ROPer, being a non-virgin is tantamount to a death sentence. Not the same as deceiving a future husband who isn't a ROPer.
The minds of Muslim men all over the Middle East are blowing right now. The paranoia must be incredible. The best case scenario is that they’ll be so scared of marrying someone whos not a virgin that they’ll just stop breeding.
Moral dilemma: Reconstruct the hymen, or death by stoning? It’s a tough choice for any Muslim doctor.
You know the most disturbing part to me? Rather, the hardest part to understand of all it?
It’s that the woman is seen as sinning when losing her virginity before marriage but that the putting to death of a human being is seen as perfectly fine and no sin at all. So she lost her virginity. What gives another the right to take her life?
God created us all, whether we posses a Bible or not, to know that murder is wrong and to know that life is His gift to us and is precious and sacred. I don’t care what one’s professed religion is, He made sure he equipped each and every one of us with this knowledge.
Crap (for lack of a better term) like this angers me to no end. There’s no excuse under the sun for this horrendous treatment of another human being.
“Possessed” is the only word that comes to mind right now.
Virginity credits? Hello Algore?
Probably most men want to marry a virgin. But people sometimes make mistakes and no one is perfect. If he loves her, he should marry her. If her not being a virgin becomes such a strong consideration then he should move on. The mindset of Muslim male culture is, regardless, disturbing, and is rooted in the falseness of Islam.
In any civilized society, intentional, premeditated murder of another human being has always been a crime... well, except when the human being is a slave, or a serf, or another unwanted low-class person.... which may explain why Muslim women get treated that way, eh?
"Possessed" implies that the person is under unwanted evil influence. I don't think so. I think most Muslim men who carry out these horrendous acts are entirely at ease with their beliefs and the evil acts that follow from them.
Therefore, in my mind, they are just as evil as anyone who seeks out and kills any other innocent person intentionally. I can only hope that these evil bastards eventually face judgment they cannot escape, whether earthly or divine. They deserve to rot in Hell.
“He took my chastity from me Akhmed, all he said was that his first name was Buster.”
The common male desire for a virginal wife is quite simple biology -- it means that when the wife delivers a baby, it is more likely the man's rather than a former lover's. These days, if you don't trust your beloved's word, it's pretty easy:
Men who did not make sure that their beloved was a) a virgin, and b) not fooling around, often had the misfortune of thinking they were the father, when they were not (see: Howard K. Stern)
Unfortunately, in these modern times of easy and readily-available pregnancy and paternity tests, Muslim men still rely on the old methods of oppression and restriction, enforced by murdering those who women dare do otherwise.
Personally, I don't find any great attraction in a virgin -- you have to teach them everything. I'd rather be with somebody who can teach me a thing or two. But that's for a different thread...
I should clarify. I don't mean that ALL societies developed identically oppressive restrictions or used murder as punishment (although many did). Many were more subtle. A few were moderately enlightened. But most were pretty awful.
I'm rather proud that modern America is pretty enlightened, though the high degree of promiscuity of the past 40 years is a price we pay for that enlightenment not being tempered with self-discipline. One can hope, though, that it will come with time.
Plenty of this women are victims of “honor” killings while still in Europe.
Only in Islam....
Abstinence education has no chance...
Islam is the “religion” that just keeps giving. Just when you think you have heard every crazy thing about it, something like this hits the news.
