Maybe if you put the statistics in question in a per/capita number they would be more meaningful. Or if you had used a ligitamite source. But, it wouldn't matter because those crimes are just SOP in the Arab world. No meaningful stats can be found.
Israel has a crime rate of 5,000 reported complaints per 100,000 population, compared with 10,800 complaints for Britain and 11,000 for Sweden. Israelâs murder rate is 2 cases per 100,000 population, similar to the rate in many European countries but much below Americaâs 8 cases. http://research.haifa.ac.il/~focus/1999-Winter/f05.html And lets not forget the 20% Arab population of Israel that contributes way above 20% to this statistics. Oh and btw: Israeli police solve from 60%-80% of all serious crimesâmurder, rape, etc.âcommitted in the country, a percentage of bringing criminals to justice that is high compared to other countries around the world. http://research.haifa.ac.il/~focus/1999-Winter/f05.html Nice try Ahmed...but no cigar once again.
The Hotline report portrays the Beduin smugglers as tending to rape their captives, and states that according to the testimonies collected, it appears that the majority of the approximately 5,000 women held by smugglers in the Sinai last year were raped during their time there, many of them repeatedly. Of the 24 women interviewed for the report, 17 stated that they had been raped â an especially high number, the report says, considering that rape victims are typically very reluctant to come forward, particularly those from conservative African societies, where victims of sexual assault are often ostracized from their communities. The experience of 19-year-old Eritrean T.L.S. illustrates the helplessness of such captives. âWhen I arrived in Sinai, the smuggler sold me, along with a group of other people, to another smuggler named Abdullah. Abdullah demanded an additional $10,000 from me. I had no way to raise that sum of money. Abdullah raped me for five days, and two other smugglers raped me as well. I wanted to resist, but I had no strength, and the smugglers nearly strangled me during the rape. M.N., a 35-year-old Sudanese Christian, told the Hotline the Beduin captors âwould take the women and rape them daily⦠The women cried and yelled in a way that kept me up at night, for the entire time we were there. After three months there, I asked the women, through the woman who spoke English, and learned that none of them had menstruated on time. Some didnât realize that they were pregnant.â Rape is also used as a weapon of terror and control against men, with the report stating, âOne of the men admitted that several men in his group were raped as well, as punishment for trying to prevent the rape of the young women.â http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=208766
I think we all know that 99% of the crowd there in old 'Gypt would be just at home behind bars, buggering each other. The re vo lut tion was just an excuse to get out of the house and make a stink.
Here is a fun little game that fits right in with the ME topic. http://www.politesociety.com/binladenliquors_ol10[1].swf
Perhaps this is why Judy kicked you out of the house. Just FYI, a marriage license absolutely does <b>not</b> give you the right to rape her! This is something you really need to know, just in case you ever manage to get another woman to be with you.
Hitler also claimed that tobacco smoking was unhealthy, and the Nazis took measures to curb the popularity of cigarette smoking in Germany. Using your 'logic', I sure hope you don't believe that smoking is unhealthy... because if you do, that makes you a Nazi!
Who is Judy? Oh well, you aren't about facts, so mox nix. By the way, for thousands of years a marriage contract did give the man property rights over a woman and to act in a manner that was lawful even if against the will of his wife for him to stop. It wasn't until 1993 that North Carolina finally changed the law. It wasn't until 1975 that the first state passed legislation to outlaw spousal rape. So, the freedom of a man to rape his wife is a relatively new concept to America. Men held the economic knife over women, and for a woman to resist the "marital demands" against her will by the man desire was economic suicide for them. They literally had little choice but to be raped by a man who "owned" them. Men had controlled the reproductive rights of women until Roe Vs. Wade. The long standing opinion in this country was that the man had a right to do whatever he pleased to his property, i.e. wife. Only for a couple of generations now have we as a society reversed our position on a man's legal right to rape his own wife. A couple of generations is not always enough to change long standing thinking patterns in a society. Has the rest of the world followed (what was not our lead)? (No, we were not the first civilized society to outlaw spousal rape.) Not yet, hopefully they will...but for the US to take a position of moral superiority when it was not that long ago that the practice was legal and morally acceptable is a bit ridiculous. I would COMMAND you to cease and desist from the personal nonsense, but why bother? I could demand that you MUST obediently reply soon with some sort of lame comeback attempt...but I know you don't need a demand for that to happen. Lameness is your game, still smarting from some imagined hurt of years ago in which you vanished for a few weeks to dream up some rationalization of why you being a drug addict playing a doctor on the internet proclaiming to have a solution for the drug addiction of others, and being called out on it was not your fault. I could suggest that in your own words you "...just get the fuck over it already" and stop the silly personal attacks...but that's not in your nature...so why bother?
And you accuse Optional of making strawman arguments Rearden? So you want to tell me that when I tell people that smoking is unhealthy is the same as when I tell people that some races are stupid because of their genetic makeup? Come on man, though I agree with you, I truly believe you are an honest man...Do you care to revise?
Let me revise the last paragraph: Come on man, though I disagree with you on many issues, I truly believe you are an honest man...Do you care to revise?
