The Illusion of Virginity

It doesn't matter how many men you've [self-censored], its all about the hymen. For as little as $2,900, Muslim women are becoming virgins - again.

The surgery in the private clinic off the Champs-Élysées involved one semicircular cut, 10 self-dissolving stitches and a discounted fee of $2,900.

But for the patient, a 23-year-old French student of Moroccan descent from Montpellier, the 30-minute procedure represented the key to a new life: the illusion of virginity.

Like an increasing number of other Muslim women in Europe, she had a "hymenoplasty," a restoration of her hymen, the thin vaginal membrane that normally breaks during the first act of intercourse.

"In my culture, not to be a virgin is to be dirt," said the student, perched on a hospital bed as she awaited surgery Thursday. "Right now, virginity is more important to me than life."

[...]

"If you're a Muslim woman growing up in more open societies in Europe, you can easily end up having sex before marriage," said Hicham Mouallem, a doctor in London who performs the surgery. "So if you're looking to marry a Muslim and don't want to have problems, you'll try to recapture your virginity."

Ah, yes, the suffering of Muslim women living in Western society... They go their entire lives living modestly, protecting her honour when suddenly - without warning! - they're having sex! How can a good Muslim woman meet a nice Muslim man with all the tempting kuffar living in the neighborhood? Damn infidels!

But thanks to modern technology that Muhammad never condemned so it must be okay, their true honour - and the honour of their family - can be concealed restored.

Category Error

Do you know what a Category Error is?

A Category Error is a problem that is so poorly defined it becomes impossible to solve. Dan Simmon's Time Traveler explains it well.

The Time Traveler sipped his Scotch and looked at me. He said, “Let me give you an analogy...”

God, I hated and distrusted analogies. I said nothing.

“Let’s imagine,” said the Time Traveler, “that on December eighth, Nineteen forty-one, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke before a joint session of Congress and asked them to declare war on aviation.”

“That’s absurd,” I said.

“Is it?” asked the Time Traveler. “The American battleships, cruisers, harbor installations, Army barracks, and airfields at Pearl Harbor and elsewhere in Hawaii were all struck by Japanese aircraft. Imagine if the next day Roosevelt had declared war on aviation... threatening to wipe it out wherever we found it. Committing all the resources of the United States of America to defeating aviation, so help us God.”

“That’s just stupid,” I said. If I’d ever been afraid of this Time Traveler, I wasn’t now. He was obviously a mental defective.“The planes, the Japanese planes,” I said, “were just a method of attack... a means... it wasn’t aviation that attacked us at Pearl Harbor, but the Empire of Japan. We declared war on Japan and a few days later its ally, Germany, lived up to its treaty with the Japanese and declared war on us. If we’d declared war on aviation, on goddamned airplanes rather than the empire and ideology that launched them, we’d never have...”

I stopped. What had he called it? Category Error. Making the problem unsolvable through your inability – or fear – of defining it correctly.

Read the entire story. It is a message from our future.

But At Least They're Not Beheading Anyone...

A Russian doomsday cult is calling credit cards and bar codes 'satanic.' Their only demand - a cow.

Around 30 followers, including four children, from across Russia and neighboring Belarus met last October and barricaded themselves into a hillside to escape an apocalypse their preacher says is looming in either April or May.

"For us right now, what's most important is the children," said Alexander Yelatontsev, an official from Russia's Penza Oblast region, who has been the chief point of contact for the cult since the siege began.

"They have burned their passports and say that all plastic (credit) cards and strip codes on food packaging are the work of Satan," he told reporters.

Yelatontsev said the people underground were in contact with him regularly, and would accept food only if it had not been processed with modern factory equipment.

"Right now they are asking for a cow so that they can have fresh, boiled milk that is not processed," he said.

Behead Those Who Try To Make The Religion of Peace More Peaceful

The Saudi royal family has come under increasing pressure - mainly from Washington - to change religious textbooks and to rein in militant clerics.

But critics are sceptical about whether such initiatives would work as long as the powerful, and ultraconservative, religious establishment in Saudi Arabia continues to exert enormous influence over society.

Only last week, a prominent cleric called for the beheading of two liberal writers who had questioned the orthodox view that Muslims can not change their religion.

Inside The Muslim Mind: Boundless Irrationalities of Islamic Reasoning

A new message from Obama Osama bin Laden asserts the blasphemous cartoons are somehow more outrageous than the Islamic violence against unarmed, defenseless civilians:

"You went overboard in your unbelief and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings. This is the greater and more serious tragedy, and reckoning for it will be more severe."

http://www.breitbart.com - Bin Laden Slams EU Over Prophet Cartoons

I don't even know where to begin with this. There are just so many irrationalities in this one statement. So, lets address each one by one:

"You went overboard in your unbelief..."

I suppose what he means is that, not only do we refuse to believe in his so-called god, we went even further and mocked it. Apparently, going overboard doesn't apply to Jihadists who use Allah's name to rape, mutilate and kill both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Radical Muslims are considered pious men; radical cartoonists, however, is just going too far!

"...and freed yourselves of the etiquettes of dispute and fighting and went to the extent of publishing these insulting drawings."

Yes, we strayed from the common warfare etiquettes of killing each other as efficiently as possible and instead decided to draw pictures. Okay...

If I have learned nothing else about Islam, I do know "etiquette" is not in the Muslim vocabulary. Islam is a rash, uncivilized culture that uses deceit to destroy freedom, that targets the children of enemies, that displays cowardice beyond human comprehension. It is a culture that justifies the killing of unarmed civilians in retaliation to military defeats, and calls for the executions of those who dare to expose it.

When an Islamic militant uses the word "etiquette," it means he knows he is being destroyed by a superior force.

"This is the greater and more serious tragedy..."

Than...? Bombing innocent people on buses? Sending suicide bombers into markets or pizza parlors? Stoning women who were gang raped? Sawing the heads off bound, defenseless contractors? Hijacking commercial planes and flying them into civilian buildings?

"...and reckoning for it will be more severe."

For whom? I'm certain members of the 'religion of peace' will make many innocent people pay for the "tragedy" of cartoons. And as long as the West continues to coddle and appease Islamic terrorists, more innocents will die.

But tolerance has limitations. When that limit is reached, only Allah can save you.
