Morocco: Sixteen-Year-Old Girl Commits Suicide After Being Forced to Marry Her Rapist According to Muslim Tradition
“RABAT, Morocco — The case of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after she was forced to marry her rapist has spurred outrage among Morocco’s internet activists and calls for changes to the country’s laws.
An online petition, a Facebook page and countless tweets expressed horror over the suicide of Amina Filali, who swallowed rat poison on Saturday to protest her marriage to the man who raped her a year earlier.
Article 475 of the Moroccan penal code allows for the ‘kidnapper’ of a minor to marry his victim to escape prosecution, and it has been used to justify a traditional practice of making a rapist marry his victim to preserve the honor of the woman’s family.
‘Amina, 16, was triply violated, by her rapist, by tradition and by Article 475 of the Moroccan law,’ tweeted activist Abadila Maaelaynine.
Abdelaziz Nouaydi, who runs the Adala Assocation for legal reform, said a judge can recommend marriage only in the case of agreement by the victim and both families.
‘It is not something that happens a great deal — it is very rare,’ he said, but admitted that the family of the victim sometimes agrees out of fear that she won’t be able to find a husband if it is known she was raped.
The marriage is then pushed on the victim by the families to avoid scandal, said Fouzia Assouli, president of Democratic League for Women’s Rights.
‘It is unfortunately a recurring phenomenon,’ she said.’We have been asking for years for the cancellation of Article 475 of the penal code which allows the rapist to escape justice.’
The victim’s father said in an interview with an online Moroccan newspaper that it was the court officials who suggested from the beginning the marriage option when they reported the rape.
‘The prosecutor advised my daughter to marry, he said ‘go and make the marriage contract,’’ said Lahcen Filali in an interview that appeared on goud.ma Tuesday night.
In many societies, the loss of a woman’s virginity outside of wedlock is a huge stain of honor on the family.’ Read more.
Assad Adviser Says Syrian President Must Confirm That ‘The Islam of the Syrian People is the True Islam’ by Showing ‘Hostility to Israel, the First Enemy of the Muslims’
There’s that “first enemy” moniker again. Iran, Egypt, Syria. I wonder what other surrounding nations feel the same way? …
By Robert Spencer – “How is it that this Assad adviser got the crazy idea that ‘the true Islam’ would manifest itself in ‘hostility to Israel’? Doesn’t he know that Islam is a Religion of Tolerance that shows love for all, hatred for none? Or has he read that passage in the Qur’an that says that the Jews will be the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82)? Yet surely it doesn’t really mean that, does it? Maybe some of the enlightened Muslims in the U.S. can explain this puzzler for us. Honest Ibe Hooper? Boy Reza Aslan? Man of Peace Rauf? Anyone? Anyone? ‘Assad emails: ‘Suggestions for the president’s speech’ – translation,’ from the Guardian, March 14:

Suggestions for the president’s speech
After consultations with a good number of people, in addition to the media and the political attache to the Iranian ambassador, I have gathered some points that I think it is important should be mentioned in the speech:
Islam:
Since the majority of our people are from the Sunni sect and are also religious, I would suggest that the speech must carry an Islamic identity, since much of the opposition raise the flag of Islam it is therefore necessary for the president to snatch this identity from them, but in his own way, by using verses from the Holy Qur’an in the speech.
Confirming that the Islam of the Syrian people is the true Islam by connecting Islam with Syria’s principles,

2. Hostility to Israel, the first enemy of the Muslims,

Italy: Muslim Man Arrested While Planning ‘Jihad Mission’ Against Milan Synagogue
“(ANSA) – Milan, March 15 – Police arrested a suspected terrorist in the northern city of Brescia early on Thursday who they believe may have been planning an attack on Milan’s synagogue.
Jarmoune Mohamed, a 20-year-old Moroccan national who has lived in Italy since he was six, is also suspected of setting up secret Facebook pages providing training on making bombs and using weapons for budding terrorists.
Correlated investigations are being carried out in the United States and Britain and London police have arrested a woman suspected of being an accomplice of Mohamed in the synagogue plot.
Police said they found evidence in the man’s home and on his computer that he has conducted a thorough inspection of Milan’s synagogue, with information on the security measures used and the police who guard the building. They showed some of material they seized from his home to reporters.
Investigators added that they had intercepted messages in which the man talked about a ‘jihad mission’.” Read more.
Afghan Religious Leader on Recent Civilian Killings: ‘Religion is Much Higher a Concern Than Civilian or Human Casualties’
As I stated here four days ago, only one conclusion could be drawn if there were no mass riots within a few days of the “rogue soldier” incident: For Muslims, the unintentional burning of Qur’ans is much worse than the intentional killing of innocent men, women and children. Now The New York Times is coming to the same realization and attempts to delve into why, at least so far, this has proven to be the case …
By ROD NORDLAND – “KABUL, Afghanistan — The mullah was astounded and a little angered to be asked why the accidental burning of Korans last month could provoke violence nationwide, while an intentional mass murder that included nine children last Sunday did not.
‘How can you compare the dishonoring of the Holy Koran with the martyrdom of innocent civilians?’ said an incredulous Mullah Khaliq Dad, a member of the council of religious leaders who investigated the Koran burnings. ‘The whole goal of our life is religion.’
That many Americans are just as surprised that what appears to be the massacre of 16 people at the hands of an American soldier has not led to mass protests or revenge killings speaks volumes about a fundamental disconnect with their Afghan partners, one that has undermined a longstanding objective to win the hearts and minds of the population. After more than 10 years, many deaths and billions of dollars invested, Americans still fail to grasp the Afghans’ basic values. Faith is paramount and a death can be compensated with blood money.
‘To Muslims, and especially to Afghans, religion is much higher a concern than civilian or human casualties,’ said Hafez Abdul Qayoom, a member of Afghanistan’s highest clerical body, the Ulema Council. ‘When something happens to their religion, they are much more sensitive and have much stronger reaction to it.’
The attack by a still unidentified United States Army soldier near his base in the Panjwai district, in southern Kandahar Province, has certainly infuriated Afghans and added to already strained relations. But the anger has been more polemical than violent — at least so far.
‘We have to hold our breath here — people are jumping too fast on this idea that Afghans don’t care about 16 people being killed, compared to, say, the Koran-burning episode,’ said Haseeb Humayoon, who has studied the phenomenon of mass protests.
There have been delayed reactions to past foreign offenses, like when a Florida evangelist deliberately destroyed a Koran last year. And Friday Prayers, which often touch off mass protests, have yet to take place this week. Still, the contrast with the reaction to the Feb. 20 Koran burnings is striking. Within a day of the burnings, violent protests outside NATO bases broke out, and apologies from top officials did little to stem two weeks of violence that took at least 29 lives.” Read more.
‘Extraordinary and Unprecedented’: SWIFT Cuts Off Iran As Sanctions Vice Tightens
“BRUSSELS — Iran was largely cut off from global commerce on Thursday, when the company that handles financial transactions said it was severing ties with many Iranian banks – part of an international effort to discourage Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.
The action is meant to enforce European Union sanctions, as global financial transactions are impossible without using SWIFT, and will go a long way toward isolating Iran financially.
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or SWIFT, is a banking hub crucial to oil, financial transactions and other trades.
Because of its reach, SWIFT’s decision to cut off some 30 Iranian banks and subsidiaries could hinder not only banking but also the country’s lucrative crude oil industry and possibly hurt Iranian households that depend on remittances from relatives living abroad.
‘Disconnecting banks is an extraordinary and unprecedented step for SWIFT,’ said Lazaro Campos, chief executive of the company. ‘It is a direct result of international and multilateral action to intensify financial sanctions against Iran.'” Read more.
Flashback: Jim Sinclair: ‘This is as serious as it gets in nuclear and economic terms’ – “Iran is to be dropped out of the Swift system in Belgium. That means Iran could neither send or receive bank money wires. That would slam Iran’s economy. This is economic war at the highest level of conflict. This could start a greater move of central banks with fears of the West to increase and retrieve their gold positions. It certainly puts cash reserves held by central banks (which are computer entries anyway) into serious question as to security. This is as serious as it gets in nuclear and economic terms. The only weapon that can be effective against Iran’s nuclear industry is Western nuclear deep penetration bunker busters. Hold tight to your insurance investment positions.” Source – SGT Report.
Muslim Gangs Terrorize Denmark, ‘With Islam Comes Fear, And With Fear Comes Power’
Unless something drastic happens, this will become commonplace in America in our lifetime …
By Soeren Kern – “More than 140 Muslim gang members were arrested in Denmark after they tried to raid a courthouse where two fellow Muslims are being tried for attempted murder.
The Muslims — all members of criminal street gangs that have taken over large parts of Danish towns and cities — were wearing masks and bullet-proof vests and throwing rocks and bottles as they tried to force their way into the district courthouse in Glostrup, a heavily Islamized suburb of Copenhagen, on March 6.
Police used batons and pepper spray to fend off the gang members, who were armed with an arsenal of 20 different types of weapons, including crowbars, darts, hammers, knives, screwdrivers and wooden clubs.
The trial in Glostrup involves two Pakistani immigrants accused of shooting and attempting to murder two fellow Muslims who belong to a rival gang. Police say the accused used a nine millimeter handgun to carry out the crime in Ballerup, a Muslim suburb northwest of Copenhagen. The trial began on February 28 and is scheduled to run through March 28.
The shooting was related to an escalating turf war between rival Muslim gangs from the Værebroparken housing estate in Bagsværd, a suburb of Copenhagen, and Nivå and Kokkedal in northern Zealand. Immigrant gangs are believed to be responsible for at least 50 shootings in and around Copenhagen during the past several months.
The recent violence is reminiscent of an earlier conflict between immigrant gangs and Danish gangs like the Hells Angels or the AK81 that left many people dead or wounded in Copenhagen and other Danish cities.
The immigrant gangs are involved in countless Read more…
Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie! Australia Overturns a ‘Sharia Will’ Created on the Basis That ‘One Boy is Equal to Two Girls’
I’ve said it before, and now is as good a time as any to say it again. According to Islam’s enlightened prophet, women are little more than a man’s possession imparted by Allah with only half the intelligence of her owner-husband, thus worth only half that of the superior sex and worthy of just half the inheritance that a male receives. Such intellectual and social deficiencies must therefore mean that it’ll be twice as hard for a woman to earn her way into Mohammed’s Paradise, which would explain why Mohammed said that a majority of the occupants in Hell were women. Fortunately, the land down under thought it over and recognized the insensibility of, well, someone’s lunacy. Kudos, mates! …
“The ACT Supreme Court has overturned a will created on the basis that ‘one boy is equal to two girls’ and therefore sons should get double the inheritance of daughters.
Fatama Omari challenged the legitimacy of the will of her mother, Canberra woman Mariem Omari, saying she had not known what she was doing when she signed it in January 2002 – two months before she moved to a nursing home.
As one of five daughters, Fatama Omari received just a half share of the estate according to the will, while her three brothers received a full share each.
Master David Harper said the will followed a precedent for Muslims, and Imam Adama Konda confirmed during the hearing that ‘the standard expectation is that a Muslim will leave full shares to sons and half shares to daughters’.
‘He said that one boy is equal to two girls,’ he said.
Master Harper ruled that the will was invalid, but only because she was likely suffering dementia at the time she signed it – not because it was otherwise invalid.
He said she had not understood what she was doing when two of her sons took her to a friend to execute the will in January 2002.
‘This is so notwithstanding that if it had not been for her dementia, she might well have decided to make a will in the same or similar terms,’ he said.
Master Harper said that several witnesses remembered Mariem Omari saying she wanted her will to be created in accordance with the Muslim faith.” Read more.
The Obama Nation That Maketh Desolate: Vets Outraged As Florida Dems Fly American Flag With Obama’s Face On It
By Madeleine Morgenstern – “An American flag featuring an image of President Barack Obama’s face was removed from outside a local Florida Democratic Party headquarters Tuesday after several veterans called it ‘despicable’ and a ‘desecration,’ the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Veterans gathered Tuesday afternoon to protest in front of the Lake County Democratic Party headquarters, where the flag — featuring Obama’s face in the blue section where the stars normally go — was flying beneath a traditional American flag. The confrontation ended after party chairwoman Nancy Hurlbert took the flag down, according to the Sentinel.The protest started after Don Van Beck, a Korean war veteran and executive director of the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park in Leesburg, Fla., snapped several pictures of the flag and distributed them to others. He told WFTV-TV seeing it made his blood boil.
‘I can‘t describe how upset was because you just don’t do that to the American flag,’ he told the station.
The group demanded Hurlbert remove the flag, saying it was a violation of the federal flag code that prohibits any ‘marks, insignia, letters, words, figures, designs, picture or drawings of any nature,’ the Leesburg Daily Commercial reported. According to the Sentinel, Hurlbert said she would look into the issue but didn’t take the flag down right away. A short while later, she conceded and removed it.” Read more.
Stakelbeck on Terror: Former Islamic Terrorist from Lebanon Embraces Christ
Stakelbeck: “He was taught to hate Christians and Jews by the time he could walk. He worked with notorious jihadists, from the Muslim Brotherhood to Saddam Hussein, to Yasser Arafat. Kemal Saleem was a committed Islamic terrorist. And then Jesus entered his life and everything changed.”
Kemal Saleem: “… In my home, I learned from my childhood [that] my life is to bring glory to Allah and to die for the sake of Allah… It’s a holy death for Allah, by killing other people, by shedding your blood for Allah … As a matter of fact it’s in the Hadith, in Sharia Law of Islam … the only way [a Muslim] can go to Heaven without judgment is to die in a Holy Jihad, which is killing himself for the sake of Allah … In the house we learned the only way to please Allah is by work[s], that’s in the Qur’an, the Muslim book, and from there we were learning to fulfill the agenda of Allah … we are the subservient, the servant, who will make all this happen… The sword is the entrance to Heaven. There’s no other way that you can enter Heaven in Islam …”
Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Calls for ‘Destruction of All Churches in Region’
Today it is all churches in the region. Tomorrow it is all churches in the world …
Qur’an Sura 8:12b, “… terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
Qur’an Sura 3:85, “And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers [in hell].”
Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah
By Raymond Ibrahim – “According to several Arabic news sources, last Monday, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, declared that it is ‘necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.’
The Grand Mufti made his assertion in response to a question posed by a delegation from Kuwait, regarding the position of a Kuwaiti parliament member who recently called for the ‘removal’ of churches (he later ‘clarified’ by saying he merely meant that no churches should be built in Kuwait). The Kuwaiti delegation wanted to confirm Sharia’s position on churches.
Accordingly, the Grand Mufti ‘stressed that Kuwait was a part of the Arabian Peninsula, and therefore it is necessary to destroy all churches in it.’
As with many grand muftis before him, the Sheikh based his proclamation on the famous tradition, or hadith, wherein the prophet of Islam declared on his deathbed that ‘There are not to be two religions in the [Arabian] Peninsula,’ which has always been interpreted to mean that only Islam can be practiced in the region.
While the facts of this account speak for themselves, consider further:
Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah is not just some random Muslim hating on churches. He is Read more…
Turkey Warns Iran Not To Attack Israelis … in Turkey
Let me guess: Because Turkish Muslims might get hurt in the process? Maybe Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan would prefer that Iran keep its focus on annihilating Israel first. Killing all Jews worldwide can come later. So let’s not make it any more obvious than it already is …
Prophet Mohammed, “Judgment Day will come only when the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, until the Jew hides behind the tree and the stone, and the tree and the stone say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him’”
The Jerusalem Post – “Turkey warned Iran on Wednesday not to engage in acts of terrorism against Israelis or Jewish targets in Turkish territory, Army Radio reported according to Turkish newspaper Zaman, a day after Israel warned its citizens not to travel to Turkey over a terror threat in the country.
The Jerusalem Post was unable to verify this report.
The National Security Council’s counterterrorism bureau … said Tuesday that terrorists elements were planning an attack against ‘Israeli/Jewish targets in Turkey in the coming days.’
While the National Security Council did not mention Iran as the likely culprit, a report surfaced last week in Turkish media that the Mosssad had warned Ankara of a plot by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force to attack Israeli targets in Turkey.” Source – The Jerusalem Post.
Turkish Prime Minister Accuses Israel of ‘Massacre’ in Gaza – “Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan took advantage on Tuesday of the escalation in southern Israel to once again attack Israel, as he has done on a regular basis in recent months. Speaking at the headquarters of his Justice and Development Party, Erdogan accused Israel of committing a ‘massacre’ in Gaza and called Israel’s citizens to speak out against the government. ‘A slow but methodical massacre has been taking place in Palestine since the early 20th century,’ said Erdogan, according to a report on Channel 10 News.” Read more.
Flashback: Turkey: Israel No Longer A ‘Friend’, ‘It’s Time For Israel To Pay The Price’, Israeli Ambassador and Diplomats Expelled – “Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu announced on Friday that following Jerusalem’s adamant refusal to apologize over the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid, Ankara will be downgrading its diplomatic relations with Israel and suspending key military agreements. In a dramatic turn of events, Turkey announced that it was expelling Israeli Ambassador Gabby Levy from Ankara. Davutoglu said Turkey’s diplomatic representation in Israel would be further reduced to second-secretary level. In accordance, all lower Israeli diplomatic personnel above the second-secretary level have also been expelled.” Read more.
Crucifixion and Amputation: Egyptian MP Proposes Sharia Law Punishments for Murder, Theft Crimes
These type of punishments would only be applicable to “mentally stable wrongdoers.” Whew! Had me worried there for a second. Maybe that’s why “Ground Zero Mosque” Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf believes that “90% of Sharia Law is fully … consistent or compatible with American constitution law and American laws. The areas of difference are small and minor” …
By Al-Masry Al-Youm – “The People’s Assembly Proposals and Complaints Committee discussed in a meeting Tuesday a bill proposed by MP Adel Azzazy from the Salafi-oriented Nour Party that would apply Islamic law for certain crimes.
The proposed law calls for the application of ‘Heraba,’ an Islamic penalty for criminal actions that include overt robbery, murder, forcible taking of property with a weapon and vandalizing public facilities.
The penalties according to Azzazy’s bill are execution in the case of murder, or cutting one arm and one leg from opposite sides of the culprit’s body in the cases of robbery and forcible taking of property. If the taking of possessions is accompanied by murder, the penalty would be death or crucifixion, to be determined by the judge.
The bill also stipulates imprisonment for intimidating citizens, and that the prison sentence will end when the felon repents.
These penalties would only be imposed on adult, mentally stable wrongdoers who either commit the crimes or assist in carrying them out, according to the bill.” Read more.
