Crazy Sabbath restrictions for Jews leads to death of 7 children
Because of Sabbath regulations, Orthodox Jews are not allowed to turn their oven on or off from Friday sundown to Saturday evening, for that constituteswork, and you can’t work on the Sabbath. The mother was apparently keeping food warm on a hotplate (turned on before Friday sundown), and the hotplate malfunctioned, causing a fire that killed everyone but the father, who was away, as well as the mother and one daughter, who jumped out their second-floor window. Seven other kids died

it is a very unusual accident------one of those rare holiday things like the kind of stuff that happens every Christmas and fourth of july. Your
characterization is very Nazi pig like-----you have managed to characterize your disgusting self

Phoenix, July 2009:
>> Authorities said Thursday that four boys ages 9 to 14 took turns raping an 8-year-old girl behind a shed for more than 10 minutes in what Phoenix police are calling one of the most horrific cases they've ever seen. The outrage over the allegations intensified after police said the girl's parents criticized her after the attack and blamed her for bringing shame on the family.
"The father told the caseworker and an officer in her presence that he didn't want her back. He said, 'Take her, I don't want her,' " police Sgt. Andy Hill said.
.... "This is a deeply disturbing case that has gripped our community," Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said Thursday. "Our office will seek justice for the young victim in this heartrending situation."
Hill cited the family's background as the reason the family shunned the girl. All five children are refugees from the West African nation of Liberia.
In some parts of Africa, women often are blamed for being raped for enticing men or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Girls who are raped are often shunned by their families.
"It's a shame-based culture, so the crime is not as important as protecting the family name and the name of the community," said Tony Weedor, a Liberian refugee in Littleton, Colo., and co-founder of the CenterPoint International Foundation, which helps Liberians resettle in the U.S. "I just feel so sorry for this little girl. Some of these people will not care about the trauma she's going through - they're more concerned about the shame she brought on the family." <<
If you're scoring at home, or even if you're alone, Liberia is slightly over 85% Christian. If it matters -- which it doesn't. Notice the words "shame-based culture"; doesn't say "shame-based religion", now does it?
>> Fighting the scourge of honour killing is a constant political struggle against the patriarchal set-up which we (the people of South Asia) inherited from history, said veteran Indian journalist and human rights activist Jatin Desai on Sunday.
He was speaking at the launching ceremony of the book ‘Honour’ and Women’s Rights – South Asian Perspectives’, which was held at the Karachi Press Club.The book is a compilation of 15 research papers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the South Asian Diasporas living in the UK, US and Canada.
It explores the various dimensions of the centuries-old tradition that considers women as symbols of honour and a “bargaining chip” to settle disputes among clans and tribes and is prevalent to this today [sic], notwithstanding the fact that “some major women-friendly bills have been passed at least in Pakistan in the past six years,” said Anis Haroon, chairperson of National Commission on the Status of Women in Pakistan, who was the guest of honour on the occasion.
.... Gupte claimed that South Asian immigrants living in the West today are increasingly reluctant to use the tag of “honour killing” in cases where a girl is murdered by a next-to-kin when she gathers the courage to transgress the “honour code”.
This is because after 9/11 the term has acquired an “oriental and exotic” colour, which is seen from the distorted lens of Islamphobia, whereas the practice is more of a cultural plague that pervades more or less all the communities of this region, irrespective of faith, Gupte said.
“[In the West] if a local kills a woman in the name of honour, it is murder of passion or domestic violence as opposed to honour killing which is almost exclusively used for people from South Asia,” said Gupte who founded MASUM, a centre for women development in Pune in the year 1987 and is also one of the publishers of the compilation with the IDRC.

what point do you imagine you have made?. Liberia is a primitive African country. Christianity ---as far as it exists there---was simply
shoved at a lot of very primitive people who retained their culture of the past. If you ever get a chance to talk to muslims----ask THEM who are THE MOST SOCIALLY ADVANCED PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE-----who brought MODERN civilization to the WORLD----
ask some Pakistani about the GLORIOUS highly advanced culture of
the MOGHUL EMPIRE----unsurpassed by anything that ever existed
in the east and who ----in the future will being the most glorious
and highly cultured civilization to the Americas-----including, of course,
women's rights. You guessed right----ISLAM. I learned all about
it in the early 70s when west Pakistan was credited with raping
1/4 million girls in east Pakistan and the red cross was picking them
up------abandoned by their families for being raped. ------no one objected to the abandonment of the raped girls. When I questioned it-------the answer I got was "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY CULTURE" I got that answer from some of the same people who
informed of the GLORIOUS ---highly civilized BS

DUH. I've never said it was exclusively South Asian -- on the contrary I've been pointing out examples in Europe, the Americas (North and South), and just now, fucking Liberia.
Is Liberia in "South Asia" now????
The passage above once AGAIN supports my characterization of HBV as a cultural, and not a religious, rite. Can no one here follow a simple coherent thought?
And you're dead wrong on FGM. That too is an ancient cultural tradition known in some places and not others. It developed in the same times and for the same reasons --- control of women. Whatever religion eventually took over influence on those places, and there are many, is IRRELEVANT -- since the practice already existed before anybody invented Islam, Christianism, or anything else.
In some parts of Africa FGM still goes on, whether those parts are influenced by Islam or not. In Mecca it's considered pagan and barbaric. Once AGAIN it's got jack shit to do with "Islam" or any other religion. It's a SOCIAL practice --- not a religious practice.
We did this before too.

It was a malfunction, an accident. Fires start from indoor heaters as well.
Really? This is your justification for refusing to have a daughter touched by a man trying to save her life? It is dishonoring her to save her life from drowning?
You can run and hide all you want with these irrelevant posts. The fact remains that child brides, honor killings, women's slavery and persecution of women is most prevalent TODAY in Muslim societies. Therefore, clearly, there is something in the faith itself that has locked it's followers into a medieval mindset. And that is because their prophet behaved this way towards women himself.
Doesn't it matter where and when it originated from? No.
It's not prevalent in other cultures and they aren't citing their religion as the reason for the abuse.

>> Gynaecologists in 19th-century Europe and the United States removed the clitoris to treat insanity and masturbation.[161] British doctor Robert Thomas suggested clitoridectomy as a cure for nymphomania in 1813.[162] The first reported clitoridectomy in the West, described in The Lancet in 1825, was performed in 1822 in Berlin by Karl Ferdinand von Graefe, on a 15-year-old girl who was masturbating excessively.[163]
Isaac Baker Brown, an English gynaecologist, president of the Medical Society of London, and co-founder in 1845 of St. Mary's Hospital in London, believed that masturbation, or "unnatural irritation" of the clitoris, caused peripheral excitement of the pubic nerve, which led to hysteria, spinal irritation, fits, idiocy, mania and death.[164] He therefore "set to work to remove the clitoris whenever he had the opportunity of doing so," according to his obituary in the Medical Times and Gazette in 1873.[165] Brown performed several clitoridectomies between 1859 and 1866. When he published his views in On the Curability of Certain Forms of Insanity, Epilepsy, Catalepsy, and Hysteria in Females (1866), doctors in London accused him of quackery and expelled him from the Obstetrical Society.[166]
In the United States J. Marion Sims followed Brown's work, and in 1862 slit the neck of a woman's uterus and amputated her clitoris, "for the relief of the nervous or hysterical condition as recommended by Baker Brown," after the patient complained of menstrual pain, convulsions and bladder problems.[167] A. J. Bloch, a surgeon in New Orleans, removed the clitoris of a two-year-old girl who was reportedly masturbating.[168] According to a 1985 paper in the Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, clitoridectomy was performed in the US into the 1960s to treat hysteria, erotomania and lesbianism.[169] << (Wiki)
