Shocking!

Now you are ready for a more advanced course in West Asia. Let me stress that the following is not typical but it is revealing. On November 12, 2008, MEMRI published its video clip No 1903 which you can see at http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/1903.htm. It is from a television show aired on October 31, 2008. First, I will tell you what it says, which is profoundly shocking. But then I will give you reasons why it is far more shocking than you thought.

The person being interviewed proposes that Arab men sexually harass Israeli women as a new means of resistance against Israel. “They are fair game for all Arabs,” the interviewee explains, because they “rape the land” by their very existence.

Might this cause a legal problem if an Egyptian or Jordanian rapes an Israeli tourist? No problem, the interviewee explains, "Most Arab countries do not have sexual harassment laws. Therefore, if (Arab women) are fair game for Arab men, there is nothing wrong with Israeli women being fair game as well." [link]
Do read the full article and be sure to watch the linked video to understand just how grave is the implication.

Well, this is what the Muslims (Indian or Paki) want to do in India, dont they? For example, Kashmir (thousands raped and killed, the rest leave due to fear)

And BarbarIndian, that indeed was shocking, even by muslim/arab standards. Going by mullah speeches in India, we always have suspected this, havent we? And we are always told to shut up because "not all terrorists are muslims". Hey, we even have Hindu terrorists now...

This is not grave at all, why Sharia allows stoning of raped women.

Killing the victim is right... look, it says so here in our book!

What is most shocking is that the lawyer in question is a woman herself who thinks it is perfectly legit to rape other women; what peversion!
