Police release convert to violent family

[yavoon]

"ISTANBUL, July 23 (Compass Direct News) – Egyptian police in Alexandria who last week arrested a Christian convert woman today handed her over to her fanatical Islamist family, who beat her before driving her away.


Eyewitnesses said family members of Shaymaa (Eman) Muhammad al-Sayed, 26, today dragged her screaming from the police station where she had been closeted. According to the eyewitnesses outside Alexandria’s Bab-Sharky police station, Al-Sayed’s relatives severely beat her in the Shatby Cemetery behind the police station at 4 p.m."

like the mafia

Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57:
Narrated 'Ikrima:

Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"

for those slow on the uptake, "allah's apostle" = mohammed.

Kind of reminds me of the time the cops took that kid back to Jeffrey Dalmer.

And, just a hair away from fanaticism. Any religion that condones this sort of behavior in today's modern society is out to freaking lunch. So where is all the civil rights groups getting into an up roar about this? They are hiding of course. Wonder if they'd keep their collective heads down if it had been a christian religion type performing this dasterdly deed. They'd wade in I'm sure. Hyprocrisy at it's finest..dman

Good point, but the broader concern that he brought up of unequal application of “concern” and legal action against Christian organization’s "ideological crimes" vs. total cowardly silence toward problems within the Islamic community in the US (not to mention the world) is more than telling. In Deer Born Michigan there is the Islamic call to prayer that is heard on loud speakers throughout the city five times a day by both believers and non believers alike, yet the ACLU conspicuously is absent from the debate. Is it because of fear? Is the enemy of my enemy my friend? Is it that 2 million Muslims do not have the political clout yet to impact an American Election?

When there was demonstrations across the world because of an offensive Danish cartoon -- the American press cowers and wont reprint -- why? They believe in free speech, it is news right – that folks were killed over it, including a nun or two --but not at the fear of having their office fire-bombed -- yet Rosie is just as threatened by extreme Christianity as she is extreme Islam. One would irritate the crap out of her with our views, and might try to convert her through Bible thumping -- the other would be more inclined to slit her throat (or the small 26% minority) and we all wonder about the credibility of the left, and women's groups like NOW that turn a blind eye the bigger threat, and focus instead on peripheral soft, kind targets that wont strike back. It shows that some of these groups are more political that morally driven.

Why should they not be absent?

They were reprinted in various places here and who is Rosie?

My point of view, they get their foot baths, we get our crosses. Above board, square the table...dman
