Saudi Arabia Elected to New Women's Rights Council

This defies western logic, but not the agenda of the OIC-driven, sharia compliant UN. Saudi Arabia, where a 32-year-old woman is jailed for disobeying her father, where a pregnant gang-rape victim is sentenced to 100 lashes for committing adultery, where women are not allowed to drive, where women are lashed for being in the company of any male who is not a relative, where a 75-year-old could be flogged for breaching sex segregation rules, where a Saudi father weds his daughter, 10, to an 80-year-old pervert: "according to the shari'a his marriage is legal as long as the girl's father consents," where a child bride is turned back over to her 80-year-old husband........... must I go on?

And yet Obama continues to advance international law (the sharia) while reliquishing American sovereignty.

Rights groups condemn election of Saudi Arabia to UN's new women's rights agency, laud defeat of Iran UNwatch.org

New York, November 10, 2010 – Human rights groups condemned today's election of Saudi Arabia to the governing board of the UN's new women's rights agency.

"It's morally perverse to reward a country that lashes rape victims, and that systematically subjugates women in every walk of life, with the power to negatively influence the global protection of women's rights," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of the Geneva-based UN Watch, who is currently visiting New York to monitor today's vote.

UN Watch organized a worldwide internet campaign to mobilize public opinion against the candidacies of Iran and Saudi Arabia: www.facebook.com/stopiran. The non-governmental human rights group lauded the democratic governments who pushed to defeat Iran, but Neuer expressed "deep regret that there has been complete silence on the offensive election of the fundamentalist and misogynist regime in Riyadh. The realpolitik of oil should never justify actions that legitmize the discrimination of women."

Muslim Beheads Wife for "Abusing" Him

This is disgusting. Aasiya Zubair Hassan had been abused by her husband "Moe" for years. He has been jailed since turning himself in to Orchard Park police about an hour after allegedly beheading his estranged wife and business partner, Aasiya, in their TV studio. The week before, the victim had filed for divorce and obtained a court order of protection against Hassan, to keep him away from their home — the scene of a dozen domestic problem incidents in recent years, according to police.

"Everyone in the Muslim community was aware" that Aasiyah Hassan was "going through abuse" before her husband beheaded her

Muzzammil “Mo” HASSAN was the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, a Buffalo, NY-based Islamic television Network. He founded it in 2004 amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.

Back in August of 2009, he was pleading insanity. I guess that "defense" tactic went on the chopping block.

The beheader is crying "abuse"; how very jihad.

Beheading Was Result Of 'Battered Spouse Syndrome'

Though it appears obvious that last year’s beheading of a Muslim woman in Buffalo, N.Y., was an honor killing, the judge in the case will allow the defendant to present a case that he was domestically abused and lashed back at his wife in self defense. Officially, it’s called battered spouse syndrome.’’

According to the Buffalo News:

After waiting 1 1/2 years for cable executive Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan to face murder charges in the stabbing and beheading of his wife, prosecutors suffered a blow Friday when a judge ruled that the defense can introduce evidence of “battered spouse syndrome.”


Prosecutors said the decision by Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk forced them to seek a delay — the third since the start of this year — in the trial, now scheduled for Jan. 10, nearly two full years after Aasiya Zubair Hassan was killed.


Naturally, prosecutors aren’t happy about the decision, and what seemed to sane observers to have been a case of typical Muslim violence against a woman may now get whitewashed with the abuse excuse.
