putting cultural and religious restrictions under severe pressure.

Well, I hate to quibble but shouldn't that be.

Cultural and religious restrictions put THEM under severe
pressure.?

The outcry against muslim abuse of women from the liberal American feminazis is deafening. ... Gosh I can't hear a peep.

Wonder what the "peaceloving" Human Rights activists in socialist West Europe have to say about THIS.

I'd say its a tragic, but all too expected result of repressive Islamic societies.

Oh my God, what a tragic thing. My heart breaks for them and for their families. I can't even imagine the kind of dispair that would drive you to something like this.

[mhking]

No humor.

Just damn.

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

Half the population is aged under 30, putting cultural and religious restrictions under severe pressure.

The primary reason there will be a revolution in Iran as soon as Iraq falls.

My grandmother left Hungary in 1925 because her father wouldn't let her work, even though they had been impoverished by political events, and even though she had graduated #1 in her Gymnasium, or high school.

She didn't even write home. My wife and I took her back to Timisoara, now in Romania, in the late '70s. Of her family of 7, only two others were still alive, a sister living in a miserable multistory tenement building, and a brother living with his children. My grandmother was so proud of her own full life. Nearly 80 years old, she was still living independently in her own house and driving her own car.

All of her relatives wanted us to take (and leave) pictures of their children with our Polaroid camera, because they didn't have access to color film. I'm glad we went when we did, because things got much worse when Ceaucescu took charge.

The Buddhist Monks used to do this to protest US involvement in Vietnam. (The North Vietnamese provided the same services to the Monks, albeit somewhat later.)

[knighthawk]

Unbelievable.

[Dixie republican]

That's terrible! I wish the U.S. would tell them to "Hang On." (and mean it).
