Hey Tina--
Thanks for helping to raise awareness of this epic horror. I saw a documentary on CNN some time ago where a very brave woman went in and took some hidden cameras and--well you should have seen.
You may be able to catch it, I think I saw a blurb where it's going to be on again, maybe tonight. I think it is called Beneath the Veil. Look into it everyone, it is well worth watching. Be warned, it's really awful, what some go through.
Take care all--
Julie

************************************
I had no idea. I think I'm like a lot of others - "those people" have been fighting and killing each other for so long, no one understands what is going on.
To my understanding: These men, and women in agreement with them, are the ones who some people want peaceful dialogue with?
Confusing.
Thanks for the information -

Tina,
This is offensive to anyone of the human race. This is an OUTRAGE! I am affronted. I am sickened. I am pissed! I had heard whispers here and there on public radio of this, but continued with my complacency. After reading just a small portion of the link you posted, I am awakened out of my complacency. I am a proponent of peace, but I fear that at this time, it must be born of blood and battle (WHERE DO I ENLIST? DO THEY TAKE PREGNANT WOMEN? I'm hormonal and I have a gun you Taliban mo fo's!!HAHAHA!!!) I support whatever means are necessary to overthrow this atrocious, ignorant, inhuman regime.
Thank you for bringing this to light on this forum.
Bridgette (off to start my letter writing campaign!)
(((((((julie,waiting,bridgette)))))))))
It is truly mind boggling and heart sickening....almost beyond comprehension. Thanks waiting for giving many of the specifics!It's about men women and children....not just women.
Thanks for checking it out. I think many many folks aren't aware of these atrocities that occur on a daily basis. It will shock many,as it did me. I started following this a few years ago and still shocked today. Beyond words. Share the site with others,let's increase awareness! It's kinda sad to see that important info like this doesn't get much attention. ,it's one way of knowing and understanding the world we live in........(hoping more will take a few minutes of their time to check this info out) luv to all,T

Tina,
Thank you so much for this post, uncomfortable as it is, it was very neccessary.
A shocking and truly disgusting glimpse into the darkness that lies in the heart of man. Will there be no satisfaction until the whole world is a widow?

Hi HS,
Excellent question.......indeed,when is enough,enough? Thanks for looking at it. It isn't for the faint-hearted :<.hugs,T

I can't read anymore. I am sick to my stomach. Maybe the only thing to do is arm an army with those tents those women are forced to wear and carry AK47s underneath. Show a little ankle and when in danger of arrest, cut loose. Oh, and show those women how to conceal weapons under their tents. How else can any one do anything? It's like I said on another thread, I agree with a glass parking lot. Believe me, I would rather that me and my kids were instantly vaporized than go on like that. Okay, go ahead. Shred me.
Kilroy
....and you whine about American men who simply want to be men and not objects of hatred by feminazis. Better wake up, Missy. The world is an ugly place and you have it made over here.
Perhaps you girls could be real brave and set up NOW chapters in all of the Islamic countries? Nah, then you'd have to get a army of men to protect you.
Just think, if those terrible Crusaders had completely vanquished Islam, your sisters would not be relegated to second class status. They'd be like the rest of the women who live in Christian, western civilization.
Ta ta,
Rex
Rex,
While I do sympathise with some of your views I feel that perhaps in this case you are aiming a gun at your own foot.
You must of course appreciate that this extremist Muslim behavior is not a million miles from some of the more gory Levitical standards.
Best to you - HS
PS - You do not make the world less of an 'ugly place' by referring to grown women as 'Missy' and it actually demeans your point. Cut it out, theres a good 'Laddy'.
