Let's Talk About Animals
"It's been a bad week for Arab women and children.
"Sunday started out with a horrific report on the grisly discovery of a missing four year old boy. He was found dead in a garbage dumpster in the Beduin city of Rahat.
"The father of the young boy reported that one of his wives (he has three of them) had stabbed to death the child of another wife, because she was jealous and unable to conceive.
"Police believe that at first the child's body was stored in the washing machine, but was later dumped in the garbage.
"On Monday, a female suicide bomber blew herself up near Israeli soldiers in Beit Hanoun. Lucky for us, she goes to paradise a bit unaccomplished after having only lightly wounded one our soldiers.
"That same day it was reported that an all-women's cell of Islamic Jihad terrorists was discovered and apprehended. The women were handlers of several terror cells in the areas of Jerusalem and Judea. Among other activities, they were involved in the transferring of funds from Syria to be used for the families of suicide terrorists, and for the funding of terror attacks. One of the arrested women also oversaw the building of an explosives laboratory. The less capable women have been relegated to the position of acting as human shields for terrorists -- but hey, it's a job."

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Jamie Glazov wrote a lengthy article the other day for Front Page Magazine (http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=25382) detailing the new, more sophisticated levels of abuse, being visited on Muslim women in the Middle East. And sadly, where the women are debased, the children are abused. A friend of mine, about ten years ago, told me that the radical Islamists' primary hostility towards the West arose from the fear that Western civilization will raise up and free Muslim women.

Bookworm:
Thanks so much for the wonderful link.
P.S. Read any good books lately?
We strongly recommend "The Moonflower Vine" by Jetta Carleton, published in 1962, it's one of the finest modern American novels we have ever read. It's obscure, but truly great. The only book Carleton ever wrote.

I have a feeling that there is something more to this than meets the eye. this stuff didn't happen prior to the islamic countries independence. they are people after all, to call them animals doesn't help the matter all that much. we should just force the world's global culture on them and they'll probably stop being as extreme. Hell a good chunk of Irans women have joined western culture.

Oh, I get it, it's out fault. We forced our culture on them and so, naturally forced them to become dysfunctional, murderous culture. Brilliant analysis, thanks so much.
