In Afghanistan, Women are all Prostitutes, Americans are All Infidel-Crusaders.

The photo arrests my gaze. It instantly haunts me. It shows two Afghan women chatting while sitting on their heels, close to the ground. They are both wearing iridescent light blue burqas. One seems to be clutching a shopping bag. They are about to be shot to death by Taliban fighters who accused them of running a prostitution ring that catered to American soldiers. For good measure, the Taliban also accused them of working for the local governor…Continue reading on Chesler Chronicles >>

Muslim Women Are Heroes And Collaborators As Much As Victims.

Cultural differences exist, they are real and they matter. As a lifetime critic of injustice, I understand that it exists everywhere but as someone who has also once lived in the Islamic Third world and studied it thereafter, I understand that, as my dear friend Ibn Warraq says, the West is worth defending; our values and virtues, our laws and customs are different from and in many ways more evolved than the (absence) of laws and abusive customs that characterize totalitarian, fascist, tyrannical, and fundamentalist regimes…Continue reading on Chesler Chronicles >>

American Woman, Arab Man: Tales of Horror in the Harem

Cassandra lives. No, I am not talking about the ancient Trojan prophet whose visions went unheeded and whom the Greek conquerors enslaved. This is another kind of Cassandra. Her visions of danger and doom concern what happens when an American woman marries an Arab and Muslim man. Cassandra herself was once married to an Arab Christian and, based on that experience has, so far, written two books: Escape from an Arab Marriage. Horror Stories of Women Who Fled From Abusive Muslims Husbands (2006) and Thirty Three Secrets Arab Men Never Tell American Women (2008). In the first book, she tells the stories of many American women who married Arab Muslim men and what happened to them.

The stories are gripping, terrifying, highly dramatic–and depressingly similar. At first, the men are utterly charming, generous, solicitous of their American girlfriend’s every need. After they are married to American citizens and can claim their own citizenship, they revert to form: Almost overnight, they become cruel, condescending, physically abusive, suspicious, insanely controlling, unfaithful, deceptive, and highly secretive. Look, she is not writing about the happy marriages; as her title suggests, she is writing about “abusive Muslim Husbands.” The need to balance everything out, to allow every point of view, will prove our undoing.

The Mother-Daughter Wars: Rebecca and Alice Walker

Recently, in London’s Daily Mail, writer Rebecca Walker, who is also the greatly beloved writer Alice Walker’s daughter, (yes, the same Alice Walker whose views on Israel I questioned right here on April 1st), wrote a piece about her relationship with her mother HERE which saddened me enormously.

In effect, Rebecca accuses her mother of being a cold, selfish, child-hating feminist-who wanted nothing to do with Rebecca (or really, with motherhood) while Rebecca was growing up; even less to do with her when Rebecca became pregnant; and then, nothing to do with Rebecca’s son, who is Alice’s only grandchild. According to Rebecca, her mother even cut her out of her will. Rebecca guesses that her “crime” was “daring to question her (mother’s feminist) ideology.”

Rebecca describes a neglectful, overly permissive, and mainly absent mother-and she describes a joint custody arrangement in which she spent two years with each parent; in Rebecca’s view, a “bizarre way of doing things.” I agree. According to Rebecca, when she first called her mother to tell her that she was pregnant and that “she’d never been happier, (Alice) went very quiet. All she could say was that she was shocked. Then she asked me if I could check on her garden. I put the phone down and sobbed-she had deliberately withheld her approval with the intention of hurting me.”

No Safe Place

In the late 1990s, I was asked to interview a group of female mental patients who had been raped on their state psychiatric ward by other patients. I traveled out to Nebraska to interview these women and to prepare my testimony. My planning sessions with their lawyers were fascinating-but not as moving as my meetings with the brave women themselves. The institutional abuse of our most vulnerable citizens in state care remains a crucial and unresolved problem.

I would welcome other such similar stories and even more: The remedies and just conclusions.

No Safe Place
By Phyllis Chesler

After a devastating car accident that left her permanently bedridden and in need of around-the-clock care, Andrea X became a long-term patient at the Laurelwood Convalescent Hospital in North Hollywood, California. Paralyzed, unable to speak, eat, or control her bowels or bladder, she also lost the ability to summon help when she needed it. But she could still smile, and register pain and discomfort. In 1982, her family was unable to understand why Andrea suddenly became very restless, whimpered a lot and cried more. But then they also hadn’t understood why, against their wishes, Andrea had recently been moved to an isolated room where she was attended only by male aides.

Then Andrea missed two periods, at which point it was discovered that this totally incapacitated woman, a patient in a state convalescent home, was pregnant. Finally, staff understood why Andrea’s feeding tube had been mysteriously disrupted several times. Andrea’s family sued and won a $7.5 million jury award. But in 1993, an appeals court ruled that the “failure for the facility to provide security” did not constitute “professional negligence.” In doing so, the court reversed the original verdict, sent the case back to the trial court, and ordered that “each party bear its own costs on appeal.” Eventually, the case was settled out of court for less than a million dollars. One can only ask: Just what would constitute “professional negligence?”

Clearly, Andrea did not – and could not – consent to sexual intercourse. Totally disabled and trapped in her own body, she was raped in a convalescent home charged with her care. Are crimes not prosecuted when they occur on state property? Or when the criminal is acting on behalf of the state? Is the state above the law?

Online Porn for Teens – Courtesy of Planned Parenthood (Updated: Do we seriously need to teach teenagers how to m…?)

Updated: According to a report by ksl.com in Herriman, UT:

A middle school health teacher is under investigation, accused of teaching too much about sex.

Parents say the teacher is saying crude and explicit things that don’t belong in the classroom. Dewayne Smith says, “These are our children, and we’re not going to breach the firewall of innocence.”

Parents say sex education went too far inside the classroom full of 8th-graders at Fort Herriman Middle School. Suzanne Johnson told us, “She explained how the teacher talked about masturbation. Girl masturbation, boys, the wrong ways … the right ways to have sex, the wrong ways to have sex. How long to make it last. I mean, disgusting.”

“What bothered me is that, not only did we get into discussions of masturbatory activity, but we got into explicit descriptions of homosexual acts…”

Obama gets PWND by a Girl.

Vets for Freedom is releasing a second ad, featuring Iraq war veteran and Vets for Freedom member, Specialist Kate Norley. Kate, who served 16 months on the front lines as a combat medic, asks Senator Obama two simple, but powerful, questions:

1. Senator Obama, when will you finally decide to go back to Iraq, to see the progress first hand?
2. And when will you finally decide to meet one-on-one, unconditionally, with General Petraeus?

**UPDATE**: The New York Times reports that Sen. Obama is now “considering” a trip to Iraq.

Sex for Food, Oil for Food: Why Not? It’s the United Nations

Save the Children, a civilian aid group, released a report today which confirmed that United Nations peacekeepers and civilian aid workers have continued to sexually abuse children in Ivory Coast, South Sudan, and Haiti. The UN peacekeepers, and in this instance, British charity aid workers, have been forcing children to have sex with them in return for food, water, and medicine. Brutal gang-rapes are also common.

Ironically, both Save the Children and Oxfam have discovered child rapists on their own staff but they have dismissed them. The UN has done no such thing. Although UN peacekeepers have, in the past, been accused of similar sexual assaults upon children (in Cambodia and elsewhere), their 2006, promise to both “tackle” and monitor such heartless abuse has apparently not been kept.

A spokesman for the UN Peacekeepers is quoted as saying: “The abuse of children by those who are sent to help is a significant and painful issue and one that we have begun to address. We are doing everything we can to train our civilian staff.”

Still Dead in Dallas. An Update on the Double Honor Murders

Old News: The sisters, Sarah and Amina Said, are still dead; their father-murderer, Yasir Abdul Said, has not yet been found; the mainstream media continues its uncanny silence.

What’s New: The reward for Said’s capture has been doubled and Tissy Said, his wife and the mother of the two murdered girls, has been ejected from the home of her extended Muslim family. Her beloved son, Islam, (from whom she would not willingly part), has been sent away from her. The Said family presumably want him to be “around a man” (his paternal uncle in New York City) and not around his mother. According to Tissy’s great-aunt, the brave, outspoken, Gail Gartrell:

I feel Tissy is in grave danger from her own son. This is what I think his uncle is working through with Islam in New York. I fear his return. All the nieces and nephews in the Said family are accusing Tissy of this being her fault. They have turned on her. They blame her for allowing her daughters to see American boys. She has become the enemy. When I spoke to Tissy, she seemed more upset about this betrayal than about anything else. She told me she did not care if he (Islam? or Yaser?) killed her or not. Now, her spirit is broken since her Muslim family has walked away from her. Tissy told me that she wants to be buried next to her daughters.”

Tissy is an American citizen who is about 36-37 years old. She was married to Yaser at fifteen….Continue Reading on Chesler Chronicles >>

Taser Parties

While I’m a firm believer in the second amendment…there are times when a gun just isn’t practical, for a variety of reasons. Perhaps it’s not allowed in your place of business, or within your city limits. Or, maybe, especially as a woman, you’re simply not comfortable carrying a gun, regardless of the legality.

There are other options for keeping yourself safe, as pointed out by Doug Giles of Clash Radio, pastor, husband, and father of two teenage daughters. The Giles’ recently hosted a “Taser Party” in Miami, FL, for the purpose of teaching women how to properly use a taser for personal protection. Read more

The Psychoanalytic Roots Of Islamic Terrorism

As you read this, I will be away from my desk. While I am gone, I will be posting a mini-retrospective of some of my previously published, copy-righted work. The articles seem to hold up. In some cases, I will introduce the piece. In most instances, I will let the piece speak for itself.

The Psychoanalytic Roots Of Islamic Terrorism – May 3, 2004

In the ongoing battle for Fallujah, terrorists are using women and children as human shields against American soldiers. On April 27, 2004, in Jerusalem, Hamas used a Palestinian human bomb to kill two Palestinian alleged “collaborators.” On April 28, 2004, even as UN envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, was busy characterizing Israeli policy as the “great poison in the region,” Jordanian police arrested al-Qaida operatives who were quite literally trying to launch a chemical poison attack that might have killed 80,000 Jordanians and Americans. And, on May 1, 2004, in Gaza, Palestinian gunmen shot and killed a Jewish woman who was eight-months pregnant together with her four young daughters.

Despite enormous and continuing denial on the part of left and liberal ideologues and the media, we are facing an exceedingly pathological strain of Islamofascist terrorism. So a crucial question must be asked: from a psychological and anthropological point of view, what kind of culture produces human bombs, glorifies mass murderers, and supports humiliation-based revenge?

According to Minnesota based psychoanalyst and Arabist, Dr. Nancy Kobrin, it is a culture in which shame and honor play decisive roles and in which the debasement of women is paramount. In an utterly fascinating and as-yet unpublished book, which I will be introducing, the Sheik’s New Clothes: the Psychoanalytic Roots of Islamic Suicide Terrorism, Kobrin, and her Israeli co-author, counter-terrorism expert Yoram Schweitzer, describe barbarous family and clan dynamics in which children, both boys and girls, are routinely orally and anally raped by male relatives; infant males are sometimes sadistically over-stimulated by being masturbated; boys between the ages of 7-12 are publicly and traumatically circumcised; many girls are clitoridectomized; and women are seen as the source of all shame and dishonor and treated accordingly: very, very badly…Continue Reading >>

“Laws of the Land…not the Qu’ran”…Digg Reacts to Facebook Fatality

The Telegraph is quoting a Saudi clerick, Ali al-Maliki, critical of Facebook:

Facebook is a door to lust and young women and men are spending more on their mobile phones and the Internet than they are spending on food.

He says that like it’s a bad thing – I mean, afterall, we wouldn’t want the Saudi teens to get fat, and start resembling “ugly Americans,” now, would we?

Facebook has become quite a divisive issue in Saudi Arabial, according to Arab Media and Society, with the young women arguing that, it “to express their feelings and build friendships with young women from all around the world. They continued that it granted them the opportunity to learn about different customs and traditions…”

Unfortunately, there is a very sad side to this story. Maliki’s attitude represents that of many other Saudi’s, and one of these men took it to the extreme by murdering his daughter after he caught her communicating with a man on Facebook, in what is commonly called an “honour killing.”

A friend who brought this story to my attention pointed out that there is a third perpsective on this issue, Read more

Three thousand holes in Bradford Yorkshire or anywhere.

No sane person can deny Islamists are not “inclusive”. They want to kill us all.

I read the news today, oh boy,
Four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire.
And though the holes were rather small,
They had too count them all,
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I’d love to turn you on.

‘A Day in the Life’. -The Beatles

I read the news online Thursday, three thousand Muslim girls and boys have disappeared from Bradford and across England. And though the children were rather small, they had to ignore them all. Now we know how many souls it takes to be dismissed by a Dhimmi City Hall.

Quite frankly, many of us bloggers should be recognised global columnists. I’m as good as many in the embarrassing MSM and better then most, which ain’t really saying anything that much, I grant you. And man, I’d make a few more things a little more er, recognised. Oh yes I would, sports. So in this spirit, I dedicate today’s post to the great site Stop Honour Killings.

A crowd of people turned away, but I just had to look…

Dear sports, there’s a thousand reports and facts either under-reported, badly reported, or deliberately and criminally hidden from most, by a mediocre to criminal MSM, our PC Leftard Socialist infected, incompetent and weak minded governments and by our often naff, ham strung and plodding PC Police, all the time….Continue Reading >>

Is Planned Parenthood a Wise Investment?

…from Tony Perkins, of the FRC:

Please sign this petition to President Bush, which FRC will deliver, asking him to approve new Title X regulations that ensure no federal money goes to groups like Planned Parenthood. Ask him to see that legitimate clinics are not forced to refer for abortions.

Would you invest in a company whose affiliates are complicit in sexual crimes against children?

Would you take your hard-earned money and pile it into a company whose fundraisers “get excited” when someone wishes to target African-American babies for extinction?

How secure would you feel if you found out this company was being charged by one of its own former executives with illegal accounting, billing and donation practices and with bilking the government?

Or that this company was taking your money and putting $10 million towards Congressional candidates who support eliminating abstinence funding, distributing needles to drug addicts, suggesting pornography for children to view and keeping parents uninformed in important medical decisions involving their own children?

Well guess what? That company is Planned Parenthood and each year you give them $300 million of your tax dollars, mainly through the federal Medicaid and Title X programs.

A majority of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion – however, still Planned Parenthood receives more than $300 million in taxpayer funding each year for “family planning” projects that help bolster their abortion trade. Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kans.) put it best when he said:

While we continue to have a rigorous debate in this country about abortion, we should be able to come to some fundamental agreements. We should not use tax dollars to subsidize abortion clinics – particularly when there are serious concerns regarding their compliance with state law and medical standards.
