9 Hours Later: Youtube 0, Jordan Times 1

By Emily

The video Saudi women made of themselves driving that they posted on Youtube 13+9 hours ago has been REMOVED.

Regarding the French (and Palestinian dual nationality- you left that out, BBC!) national convicted of verbally insulting King Abdullah of Jordan, a new story as of this morning has appeared in the Jordan Times covering the event. It was written by Rana Husseini. (who else?)

Jordan Times is now 1, Youtube 0.

New KABOBrule: Politically sensitive video gems must be downloaded asap.

Share and Enjoy:

A 19-year-old Israeli Arab woman has survived an attempted “honor killing” by her brother on Tuesday in the Arab village of Na’ura, near Afula, after two bullets fired at her head shattered on impact, failing to penetrate her skull.
…
The 24-year-old suspect was warmly praised by some members of his family for the attempted murder. He is in police custody.

Nice.

Roy, that is really sad, and how fortunate that she survived.
Since you care so much about Arabs that are abused, injured, and/or killed, maybe you can start your own blog about it. You won’t have much competition, ’cause they’re aren’t lots hateful, fear-mongering retards running around trying to get people to listen to them. Don’t worry.

And Muslim women really need someone like you to come and help them. Maybe you can make their societies just like yours, and then they will never, ever be at risk of being raped, beaten, or murdered by anyone, strangers or the closest person in the world, especially not in Israel.

That is soooooo rare here, isn’t it?

(murder is now the leading cause of death during pregnancy)

But thanks for being so caring and considerate. We all really appreciate it.

How not to rescue Muslim women.

What do you know about Arabs, white girl? Did you bed a lot of Arabs too? You sure do get around! Good thing you don’t have an Arab family, and don’t have to worry about “honor killings”, isn’t it?

And Muslim women really need someone like you to come and help them…

And what do you know about what Muslim women need, miss “I’m a recent convert to Islam who lives in a conservative Republican state with a bunch of white Christians”? Did you read about it on a blog? Well, isn’t that special! As if the rest of us aren’t doing the same thing, eh? :O

First of all, I’m more intelligent than you. Second of all, I know more Muslim women than you do. And last but not least, I can actually read, and I can listen.

That makes me 1000% more qualified to talk about everything than you.

Also, whatever definition you may choose to have for me, I am a Muslim woman, your disgusting neanderthal like comments notwithstanding.

Wanna prove it? E-mail me your DD-214 with your GT score on it, and I’ll e-mail you mine

What did you do in the interventionist occupation military, by the way? And where were you stationed?

Second of all, I know more Muslim women than you do.

Actually, you probably don’t. You see, I don’t live in a conservative republican mostly white Christian state. But you probably wouldn’t consider most of the Muslim women I’ve known over the years to be Muslim, because they aren’t crazy.

And last but not least, I can actually read, and I can listen.

Yeah? You don’t seem much like a “listener” to me.

Also, whatever definition you may choose to have for me, I am a Muslim woman, your disgusting neanderthal like comments notwithstanding.

Hey, it’s not my fault that if you had grown up in an Arab Muslim family they would have disowned you (if not killed you) years ago, Safiyyah. You think your Arab friends don’t look at you and think you’re a whore, just because you cover your hair now? Of all the bad choices you made in your life, converting to Islam was probably the worst of them. Or do you just plan on pretending to have been a chaste little angel all of your life? You should have waited until you had a marriage proposal before you converted.
