Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Heres a report on the continuing struggle to defend womems rights and even their lives in Iraq. Full text at link.
As part of the campaign launched by IFC against the killing of women that has recently become a serious concerning issue in Iraq, IFC Women's Bureau held press conference on December 15, 2007 in the city of Kirkuk. The event was led by Firyal Akbar; bureau chief and Ajeeba Majeed; female activist, and attended by Kurdish and Arab satellite TV stations, and a number of representatives of women's organizations and activists in the city.
Mrs. Akbar opened her speech by reading the IFC statement on this serious issue and spoke in detail about the widespread killing of women in Iraq and stressed that IFC will not sit and let this issue grow without response. She said that IFC will work to protect women wherever its chapters operate by confronting the mobsters who kill women. She added that this conference is the beginning of the movement and will see other cities join this campaign. The event has had strong political repercussions.
“THEREFORE THE OCCUPATION FORCES BEAR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRACTICES OF THESE GANGS.”
There are a few twirls of logic in reaching the conclusion that the US is responsible for the actions of the vicious Islamist gangs. The US is the very antitheses of Islamist gangs which are the mortal enemies of any reasonable notion of freedom, goodness or life. The moral responsibility for these acts lie primary with those who carry them out – not with those who are trying to stop them.
I think you may be missing the point.
The arrival of the US forces lead to some women getting ideas above their station, and had to be cut back down to size by the Islamofascists to remind them of their true place in society.
Similarly, think of the terrible burden Afghanistan is now bearing with hundreds of thousands of women free to be educated, to vote, to work etcetera. Lets pray for the day the crusaders leave to they can be put back in their box.
Allah be praised. Ahem.
