If there were a follow up story, it would be reported that after the woman was released from the hospital her male relatives killed her since she had been touched by infidel males and seen naked.
If the father of the boy is alive, he may claim the child and have one of his other wives raise him.

Your calling them savages is insulting to savages.

Wow! How did that ever get past the lefty censors at BBC. Superb.

Just imagine if coverage on our military efforts in the Middle East were more balanced because it consisted primarily of stories like this one. I bow my head in thanks to God for the men and women fighting there for freedom from Islamofascist tyranny.

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

I fear for the woman and child going back to live with her family. The whackjob relative will probably finish the job.

Why do we advertise utube here when we can scan utube well enough without? The purpose of FR is quite different from Drudge, or used to be.

Free Republic used to be a good portal like Drudge with the added benefit of posting and reading commentary. It still performs that portal function somewhat although I find over the last few years it has slipped in that regard. If something of interest is posted at You-Tube or elsewhere I think it's great to post that link here so we can all post commentary.

That is the purpose of Free Republic from my view point.

I have posted my opinion. I care not a whit what other opinions exist. Just as others care not about nor even consider my opinion.

Not really. I said it is a degradation of FR, IMHO. A historical trend. PROGRESS. Who says we can't be Progressives?

"...As a subscriber to dialup, I have no interest in Internet video..."

I have Windows ME—and dialup too.

Open a second window with the youtube video, and go back to FR while it loads in the other window. It may take 20 minutes to load, but you'll still be reading FR while it "does so". Then watch at leisure. What a great idea...'think I'll do that right now! :)

Remember when Drudge wouldn’t link FR? Maybe he doesn’t now. Not that I care since I don’t scan Drudge. The news that counts is on NYMEX.com. LOL

Already do that with a couple things. I check in about four times in the day, but am out and about the rest of the time. Utube is not on my list of necessary things. But, it might be an important window on the world for others. That’s the way it goes.

Thank you for your family’s service and sacrifice.

Please know that many of us are thrilled to learn of these positive events/videos/news that wouldn’t otherwise be known because the MSM purposely keeps good news from the world.

I say this with respect: your views are respected ... please respect those of others. No one’s forcing you to look at any thread, so why not just bypass those that upset your sensibilities ?

I have to say my opinion. Otherwise nobody might mention that FR is Evolving, becoming Progressive. For a Conservative site this could be ominous.

No. Utube itself is ominous, especially as it is infecting FR. It’s not the only Progressive infection either.

I guess you’re forgetting that most folks here exercise discretion in what they choose to post; and, if it’s not appropriate, the Mods are here to remove it.

AND

You don’t have to watch ANYTHING from youtube or anything else here.

This dancing dog video on youtube has given thousands of
folks a lot of smiles and happiness. Does it also corrupt FR?

Yep I remember when Drudge shut down the link to Free Republic. Never understood it. Especially since FReepers give him lots of hits. BTW any other good sites you regularly visit would be appreciated. Thanks.
