"Fourteen-year-old Masuma Hasani said her whole family had come out to protest the law - both her parents and her younger sister who she held by the arm.
"'I am concerned about my future with this law,' she said. 'We want our rights. We don't want women to just be used.'"
This 10-minute 2006 phone-video evidences the murder by stoning of a teen girl who favored a boy outside her religious sect.The boy, of course, went unharmed.The femicidal maniacs cheered their actions, several taking pictures.Bloodlust fueled the men; they twirtled like banshees when her head cracked open and blood pored onto the street. Finally, the mob dragged her off.
Gotta love US influence in the Middle East. We sure "brought democracy" over there. Earlier this month, UK Gay News reported that 100 Iraqis face imminent executionfor being gay.
Despite Obama's "abhorrence" at legitimizing marital rape, RAWA is not happy with US foreign policy in Afghanistan:
The US 'War on terrorism' removed the Taliban regime in October 2001, but it has not removed religious fundamentalism which is the main cause of all our miseries. In fact, by reinstalling the warlords in power in Afghanistan, the US administration is replacing one fundamentalist regime with another. The US government and Mr. Karzai mostly rely on Northern Alliance criminal leaders who are as brutal and misogynist as the Taliban."
In 2004, Rady Ananda joined the growing community of citizen journalists. Initially focused on elections, she investigated the 2004 Ohio election, organizing, training and leading several forays into counties to photograph the 2004 ballots. She officially served at three recounts, including the 2004 recount. She also organized and led the team that audited Franklin County Ohio's 2006 election, proving the number of voter signatures did not match official results. Her work appears in three books.
Her blogs also address religious, gender, sexual and racial equality, as well as environmental issues; and are sprinkled with book and film reviews on various topics. She spent most of her working life as a researcher or investigator for private lawyers, and five years as an editor.
She graduated from The Ohio State University's School of Agriculture in December 2003 with a B.S. in Natural Resources.
