Female Species

I don’t even know how people who do this can live with themselves. Don’t they even have a conscience?

Fatma gently unwraps the bright, pink folds of her shawl, to reveal her baby girl

By Ishbel Matheson

Nov 24, 2006 — The sickly, three-month-old child, named Hawa, is the result of terrible atrocity.

When Arab militia, known as Janjaweed, came to Fatma’s home in January, they threatened to kill her father.

Fatma intervened but the gunmen turned on her.

“They said to me: ’You are a prostitute’,” she says.

“They pinned me down, one on my hands and one on my legs. The others took turns.”

Fatma was held for four hours and raped repeatedly.

They left her alive, but injured so badly, that she could not walk.

When her family eventually found her, they had to carry her home.

Marked for life

Two months later, Fatma realised that she was pregnant. She is just 15 years old.

“At first my father wanted to throw me out. But others pleaded with him.”

Her family moved to a refugee camp in the town of Kass, along with other survivors from her village.

But in this traditional society, Fatma and her baby are marked for life. The young mum tells how neighbours whisper about her.

“They say I’m a bad girl - that I had this Janjaweed baby. They say that I should be sent away,” she says.

As she speaks, baby Hawa frets and cries. She is malnourished and light as a feather.

Her mother presses her to her breast, but she has no milk.

We ask an older woman who is present, to try to help us soothe the baby.

She refuses, cursing the child as if she were a bad omen.

“She is calling the baby ‘a dirty girl’,” says Unicef’s Eman el-Tigani.

“Fatma has no future here. Islam does not allow for a baby to be killed. Otherwise this baby would be dead.”

Rape ’commonplace’

Fatma and her baby are victims of a brutal scorched-earth campaign in this remote region in western Sudan.

More than two million people have been driven from their lands, in what the UN has called it the “worst humanitarian crisis in the world”. Human rights groups say Arab militia backed by the Sudanese government are seizing the land from Africans in Darfur.

The Sudanese government says it has been fighting a rebellion. It denies funding and arming the militia.

Whatever the politics of the conflict, the crime of rape is disturbingly prevalent.

Every day, aid workers hear reports of women and girls from African tribes being abducted and gang-raped.

Shame amid love

Fatma is not the only one to be bearing the baby of a enemy fighter.

As she tells her story, other heavily pregnant women listen.

Hawa Seliman Mohammed, 24, is due to deliver any day now. She was grabbed by the Janjaweed militia, while taking a shower on the outskirts of her besieged village.

Like many victims, she believes rape is being used as a deliberate weapon in this war.

“They want to destroy everything,” she says. “By violating us, they want to make our men ashamed and to demoralise them.”

There is one report of a Darfuri woman who has tried to abandon her Janjaweed baby.

But Fatma loves her child. She rocks her, murmuring her name.

“I feel ashamed, because she is the child of a Janjaweed - and they are the ones who are carrying out this war against us. But I will keep her. I want my baby.”

And this is what the UN Human Rights Council has to say. We live in such a wonderful world!

Cool. Al-Azhar organized a rally with the help of a German activist aimed at opposing the stupid practice of FGM. BTW in case you didn’t know, FGM has no place in Islam. It’s a stupid cultural practice. (hat tip: Nominally Challenged)

Read it all.

banning ALL abortions in ALL types of cases. I must admit something. I don’t know squat about this Enrique Bolanos guy but I can tell you that I’m seriously starting to “love” him for sure.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua - President Enrique Bolanos signed a bill Friday banning abortion in all cases — including when a woman’s life is endangered — despite opposition from doctors, women’s rights groups and diplomats.

Previously, Nicaragua allowed abortions if three doctors certified that the woman’s health was at risk. The law signed Friday eliminates that century-old exception.

The six-year prison term for performing illegal abortions remains unchanged under the new law. There had been doubt about whether Bolanos would sign the law because he had sought stiffer sentences of up to 30 years for women who had abortions and for those who aided them.

…Cuba permits abortions within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and Colombia recently authorized them in the case of a severely malformed fetus, if rape or incest were involved or if the woman’s life was in danger.

Retard!

The Middle East

After achieving much fame and glory, female super stars decide it’s time for a spiritual make over. BAM they suddenly wear the hijab and declare their complete transformation. It must be a great feeling to dispel all the possible vicious “catty” Arab tycoons from approaching your priceless delicious meat. Unfortunately some Arab tycoons are so hungry, they get an erection from simply looking at a female super star’s face. Some even come and they “shoot” really far too, possibly landing “some” more accurately than Nasrallah’s missiles all the way into Israel and right smack on Olmert’s residence! That’s when the next super spiritual step goes into planning. BAM suddenly the female super star vanishes! Out of nowhere appears a moving black tent. For many it’s a scary sight but somewhere underneath it lurks an ex-insecure happy smiling face delighted that Arab tycoons are now searching for bigger better uncovered meat but is she really happy? After a many movies and music videos of exposing so much meaty meat, the female super star is now withdrawn away from the chauvinist society around her. Maybe the black tent was a tool to turn off all the cats. Who knows, maybe behind closed doors it’s a whole new different “turn on” story ey? Arab tycoons, products of a Middle Eastern chauvinist society sure do get away with a lot. A “meat hungry” erection anytime and anywhere is not their fault. It’s the women. Cover them up those meaty jiggly bootilicious women.

The West

After achieving all the fame, money and success desired for so many years, Western female super stars (sluts to many) realize there’s something missing. No, it’s not the hundreds of staring celebrity “cocks” around still wishing to “penetrate” deep, rough and hard. Oh no it’s not, as by then such Western female super stars had many. Too many! More orgasms aren’t the answer and never will be. A spiritual void lingers within and the meaning of life still hasn’t been figured out. Maslow’s theory on the hierarchy of human needs kicks in but doesn’t kick in hard enough. Satisfaction and true happiness have not been attained. The pain and suffering of childhood won’t go away. They’ve given up on it. The Western female super stars mostly Hollywood bimbos have given up. So what do they do? They adopt 3^rd World children to pamper and help heal their 3^rd World pains and sorrows. What they’re really doing however is sub consciously trying to heal themselves. What better way than to adopt a child and buy thousands of dollars worth of toys just for that one child right? Wrong! Usually that’s the first symptom and sign of mental damage, a result of Hollywood’s and MTV’s secularist materialist cultures. Somebody should have told Madonna to use the thousands of dollars to feed hundreds of children rather than buy toys to super pamper ops I meant spoil one 3^rd World Child.
