Amnesty: Rape girl, 13, killed for adultery: Somalia Islamic Militia
Barry Artiste Op/Ed
When I say, as I have previously stated in my past stories. Islam, in fact most major religions are in place to solidify that it has always been a Man's World, no ifs, ands, or buts, Get used to it Ladies.
It just seems in a modern society Islamic Zealots have taken it to the nth degree. One can be sure moderate followers of Islam would like nothing better than for this to go away. It feels like they are weeding out the non Islamic or not as Zealous Herd!
As these undated photos attest, certainly a country which needs a collective Bitch Slap.
The Somali people are starving and dying, aid rarely reaches them, either the corrupt Government (We support with Aid) steals it or the Islamic militants and other so called Freedom Fighters steal it for themselves.
Is it any wonder the World feel no empathy to a country in which it's own citizens clearly will not stand up to stop ever changing regimes and off shoot militias, preferring Western Armies to lay down their lives on their behalf? Par for the course if you ask me!
It is clear Islamists in Somalia have only one goal and it isn't peace or helping the citizenry. What many may ask themselves, if indeed Islam is one of the worlds largest Ideologies, why are these zealots who preach death and destruction are allowed to do so?
Why are these Zealot Clerics not found by fellow Muslims, stripped of their vestments and status, jailed or put to the sword? Lead me to believe either they do not care, or perhaps like wheat in the windy field, the undecided will join whoever is the victor in all this ongoing horrendous situation, hence being part of the Worldwide problem instead of a Global Solution!
Why is it always Westerners who must help and intervene, why not YOU! It is your people and culture, your ideology!
Riding on our Safe and Secure coattails of Democracy is not the answer if you refuse to be part of it!
If you are a billion strong, then perhaps you should be pulling your weight on the international stage and stop this!
It seems every time we read a media report on Islam, it's not good, leaving many to believe, perhaps this is not an exception to the rule anymore, as time and time again stories like this keep hitting the presses. Currently in the World today the majority of countries under Islam seem to be engaged either in War or Crisis and have been for decades. Do you see where I am going with this? Hello! What does this tell you! Islam ain't seem to be working! And Britain is introducing Islamic Law into it's Court system? Holy Hitler! WTF are they thinking?
Is it just me or has Multiculturalism gone too far? When laws of the country laid down by British citizens who fought and died to keep those laws and rights for close to a thousand years, now have separate set of laws which may supercede laws by it's countries own culture to appease another culture who are British citizens?
Somehow I think the British Bulldog has been neutered, by it's own people who allowed it to happen!
Time for Muslims to act and stop those who misinterpret Islam. Muslims know who these Clerics are, as Mosques where they preach are pretty easy to spot in any town or city.
Bottom line, if you know where they are stop them!
If a group in Canada were doing this to people like in Somalia, you can bet your life, Canada would stop it in it's tracks and hunt the offenders down Pronto!.
Again, I direct you to the recent introduction of Sharia Law being integrated in British Courts. Eventually it is only a matter of time, perhaps in a decade or so before a British Male Judge misinterprets in favour of man and thus begins the downward slant into oblivion of women's rights, gay rights, etc.
Will someone stand up and stop it? I fear by then it will be too late! Cause it ain't stopping in other countries it seems.
But then religious leaders of all faiths it seems, have fond memories when "Religion was King versus centuries ago when King was Religion"! and today it seems a reversal of fortune for some religious leaders of Islam.

Amnesty: Rape girl, 13, killed for adultery
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) -- A 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death in Somalia after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants, a human rights group said.
Dozens of men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death Oct. 27 in a stadium packed with 1,000 spectators in the southern port city of Kismayo, Amnesty International and Somali media reported, citing witnesses.
The Islamic militia in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her, the rights group said.
Initial local media reports said Duhulow was 23, but her father told Amnesty International she was 13. Some of the Somali journalists who first reported the killing later told Amnesty International that they had reported she was 23 based upon her physical appearance.
Calls to Somali government officials and the local administration in Kismayo rang unanswered Saturday. "This child suffered a horrendous death at the behest of the armed opposition groups who currently control Kismayo," David Copeman, Amnesty International's Somalia campaigner, said in a statement Friday.

Barry Artiste, I like this story. It's good stuff.
The scribes and Pharisees led forward a woman who had been caught in
adultery, and made her stand there in front of everybody. "Teacher," they
said to him, "this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery. Now,
in the Law Moses ordered such women to be stoned. But you--what do you say
about it?" (They were posing this question to trap him so that they could
have something to accuse him of.) But Jesus simply bent down and started
drawing on the ground with his finger. When they persisted with their
questioning, he straightened up and said to them, "The man among you who
has no sin--let him be the first to cast a stone at her." And he bent down
again and started to write on the ground. But the audience went away one by
one, starting with the elders; and he was left alone with the woman still
there before him. So Jesus, straightening up, said to her, "Woman, where
are they all? Hasn't anyone condemned you?" "No one, sir," she answered.
Jesus said, "Nor do I condemn you. You may go. But from now on, avoid this
sin." (John 8.3-11)...
Barry they need the Lord as much as we do. But what do we carry? We carry bible in one hand and M16 in the other. We have upset opinions about Islam, yet laugh when innocent children are killed by our bullets. We think nothing about execution of convicts in Prison that have certainly been many to perish who never commited the crimes...and people have a hard time accepting the right to abortion....
If we are to be an example to the world to follow we need to pull the plank out of our own eye...so others may see through our eyes of truth and mercy. We need to do good unto those who perform evil....because they don't know! How can they compare? Who has failed? I say it is us. We are the givers in the world because we know the truth...they don't...so ! It is true we are left as sheep amongst the wolves to go and do as the Lord taught and asked...It is in doing we find his blessings... God Bless

The Normans before they conquered Britain in the year 1066 first conquered Sicily (at the time run by the muslim moors) . The northern French Normans brought with them, to Britain the concept and practice of trial by jury. Some muslim states not in conflict; Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, The Maldive islands, Some Christian countries that do have problems; Mexico, Colombia, Mozambique, Russia, Sierra Leon, Ivory Coast, Congo. The feminist movement in islam is only about 20 years old, womens rights in muslim countries will improve.
