A London trainee GP has been beaten and withheld hostage by her family who are forcibly trying to marry her to a stranger in Bangladesh.

Dr Humayra Abedin, who has remained a prisoner since August by her parents, is believed to have been gagged, tied and violently struck to make her submit to her parents' wishes.

Dr. Abedin, who had made East London her home while working in hospitals since 2002, is said to have developed a close bond with a Hindu Bangladeshi man - an act vehemently opposed by her Muslim family.

She had been baited to fly to Dhaka on the pretext of her mother's illness ...

"The hadj is coming soon. It’s a wonder no one has yet tried to release a deadly virus into the millions of “pilgrims” at Mecca — it would be spread to every corner of the Muslim world."

Islam is itself a deadly virus.

Uppity womenfolk think they can be doctors and stuff.

Pretty soon they’ll even be driving cars.

When the British woman teaching in Africa was accused of naming a teddy bear “Mohammaded” I asked a woman that I know who is a radical far left wing, Marxist, hard core man hating feminist lesbian about why the NOW gang wasn’t defending her and why wasn’t the NOW gang helping young girls who are being forced into marriages against their will in Muslim countries.

Her reply to me was: “We’re working to keep abortion legal in this country. That’s all we care about.”

"Honor thy father and they mother...."

You don't have to love them...nor in this case do I think they should be honored in the breach.

As a man who is forced by nature to sleep from time to time it would terrify me mightily to marry a lass based on this kind of coercion. Is it better to be turned into a eunoch or a dead man?

Control??? How about protests?

“We’re working to keep abortion legal in this country. That’s all we care about.”

The liberal's version of an honor killing.

The world is such a little place I think I’ll spend every waking hour fretting over what goes on all over the world. Never mind that some of it may not be true.
