Israel's Anti-Women Religious Terrorists

by +
The stench of anti-women superstition usually accompanies a militarized society, and Israel, the US puppet that exists to protect US oil profits in the Middle East, is no exception. The vicious attacks on women by Jewish fascists is widespread, in a society where religious courts are the forum for marriage and divorce and stores are closed on the abacadabra days.

By definition, having a theocratic state is ANTI-DEMOCRATIC. Women whose ancestors happened to have believed in the Jewish superstition are viciously beaten, hit with stones, sprayed with pepper spray, gagged and threatened with death by these thugs because these thugs do not like the clothes the women wear, the men these women talk to and the fact that women refuse to move to the back of the bus! THIS IS THE STENCH OF RELIGION. These stinking fascists also get gender segregated buses courtesy US tax dollars as Israel cannot exist for one second without the $6 billion a year it receives from the US taxpayers. IT IS LONG OVERDUE THAT US END ALL AID TO ISRAEL. It is also LONG OVER DUE THAT EVERYONE STOP VOTING FOR ALL DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS AT ALL LEVELS as these 2 parties are 100% pro-Israel parties. THESE ARE THE PARTIES THAT DARE TO PERPETRATE ANTI-MUSLIM HATRED ON THE BASIS OF MUSLIMS ALLEGEDLY BEING TERRORISTS AND ANTI-WOMEN. Let us be clear: ALL RELIGIONS ARE ANTI-WOMEN and ALL RELIGIONS FLOURISH IN MILITARIZED, TERRORIST SOCIETIES, whether they be Israel or the backward, bankrupt, terorrist, USA.

Only Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party support a secular Palestine, and Peace & Freedom Party supports cutting off aid to Israel.

In a democratic, secular society, everyone understands that:
SCIENCE MEANS KNOWLEDGE and RELIGION IS SUPERSITITION;

EVOLUTION IS A FACT;

ABORTION IS A RIGHT.

And any public official who does not understand that should have their high school diploma and college degree, if any, revoked.

Enforcement of anti-Swara laws in FATA, PATA demanded

http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2008\10\05\story_5-10-2008_pg7_55

PESHAWAR: Representatives of civil society organisations (CSOs) have demanded extension of laws banning Swara (handing over of girls to rival groups for settlement of disputes) to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (PATA) where, according to them, this customary practice has destroyed the lives of hundreds of girls.

Under an act passed on January 11, 2005, the federal government had made the handing over of girls to rival groups for settlement of disputes a penal offence. Section 310-A was added to the Pakistan Penal Code, which calls for imprisonment for up to ten years on committing the offence.

The federal as well as the NWFP governments did not extend these laws to FATA and PATA and the custom continues to be practiced in these regions.

Seven out of 24 districts of the NWFP are situated in PATA that include Upper and Lower Dir, Swat, Chitral, Buner, Shangla and Malakand. There are seven tribal agencies and six frontier regions in FATA.

Samar Minnalah, an anthropologist and expert on Swara, says that Swara practice is common in PATA and FATA as laws banning Swara are yet to be extended to these parts of the country.

Describing the cruel practice of Swara, she said in acknowledgement of its guilt, a group hands over one or more of their girls to their rivals. A Swara girl is just given food and clothing and not allowed to take part in social gatherings and family rituals. Swara is a human rights’ abuse which still exists.

“It is a social crime, which is not restricted to a region or two. In other parts, it is practiced with other names such as Vanni, Sang Chatti, Khoon Baha, etc.,” she added.

Uzma Mehboob of the Aurat Foundation demanded of the government to extend Swara laws to the Federally and Provincially Administered Tribal Areas, saying the rate of Swara cases is comparatively much higher in these areas. staff report
