Somali Islamist "Youths" Whip Women for Wearing Bras

"Somalia's hardline Islamist group al-Shabaab has publicly whipped women for wearing bras they say violate Islam by constituting a deception, north Mogadishu residents said on Friday.

.....Residents said gunmen had been rounding up any woman seen with a firm bust and then had them publicly whipped by masked men. The women were then told to remove their bras and shake their breasts.

"Al-Shabaab forced us to wear their type of veil and now they order us to shake our breasts," a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.

"They first banned the former veil and introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women's chests. They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat." SEE ARTICLE BELOW

So, according to breast obsessed muslim men (aka "youths"), a woman's wearing a bra is deception?

BUT THIS ISN'T?:

 

   

Men whipped for shaving, women made to shake breasts

Somali hardliners whip women for wearing bras

MOGADISHU (Reuters)

Somalia's hardline Islamist group al-Shabaab has publicly whipped women for wearing bras they say violate Islam by constituting a deception, north Mogadishu residents said on Friday.

The insurgent group, which seeks to impose a strict form of sharia Islamic law throughout Somalia, amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery earlier this month. They have also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer.

Residents said gunmen had been rounding up any woman seen with a firm bust and then had them publicly whipped by masked men. The women were then told to remove their bras and shake their breasts.

"Al-Shabaab forced us to wear their type of veil and now they order us to shake our breasts," a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday.

"They first banned the former veil and introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women's chests. They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat."

Officials of al-Shabaab, which Washington says is al-Qaeda's proxy in the failed Horn of Africa state, declined to comment.

The group's hardline interpretation of Islamic law has shocked many Somalis, who are traditionally moderate Muslims. Some residents, however, give the insurgents credit for restoring order to the regions under their control.

Al-Shabaab, which means "youth" in Arabic, control large swathes of south and central Somalia.

Abdullahi Hussein, a student in north Mogadishu, said his elder brother was thrown behind bars when he fought back a man who humiliated their sister by asking her to remove her bra.

"My brother was jailed after he wrestled with a man that had beaten my sister and forced her to remove her bra. He could not stand it," Hussein said.

Men were not spared the' moral cleansing'. Any man caught without a beard was been publicly whipped.

"I was beaten and my hair was cut off with a pair of scissors in the street," Hussein said.

"My trouser was also cut up to the knee. They accused me of shaving my beard but I am only 18. They have arrested dozens of men and women. You just find yourself being whipped by a masked man as soon as leave your house."

It Gets Worse! British Non-Muslim Police Parade in Full Islamic Dress

Just a few days ago I wrote a blog regarding the news that Britain's Somerset and Avon police are so infected with political correctness and dhimmitude to muslims - these police services have issued color coordinated veils/Islamic head gear to NON MUSLIM female police officers and community support officers. Officers are supposed to wear the veils when going into a mosque - begging the question just how much time to the Somerset & Avon female police spend in mosques that taxpayers had to cough up money for veils?

Well if that wasn't enough to disgust you & I - it gets even worse!

 

Are the above British police????

Clearly the Sheffield police didn't want to be "outdone" by those pretentious Somerset and Avon females so they decided to take dhimmitude and muslim boot licking to new and even more subservient levels.

"POLICE in Sheffield swapped places with Muslim women – by dressing head to toe in full religious dress and walking round the city centre. As part of an exercise called 'In Your Shoes Day', two South Yorkshire police officers and a police community support officer took to the streets wearing jilbabs and niqabs – Islamic outfits which leave just the face exposed." LINK

The reason behind this public display of abject dhimmitude":

"...to learn about the faith and understand their (muslim women) issues.

Hmmm - can't these officers read?  There must be hundreds of newspaper articles bewailing the plight of muslims in England - not to mention government quangos and brainwashing.  Apparently such resources didn't reach the desired level of public humiliation and submission to Islam.

Now one has to assume that all of these officers were women - although muslim men - particularly if they are a thief or a suicide bomber or a terrorist "on the lam" - seem to have a penchant for crossdressing as women. As Sgt. Deb Leonard is quoted - we know at least one of the officers is female.........but that still leaves 2 more in ??question??.

Even muslim women are laughing at the lengths so many British cretins are willing to go to be "understanding":

"Nabila Pathan, 25, from Leytonstone, east London, presents Women's Voice, a woman's chat show, on Press TV, an English language channel funded by the Iranian government.  'The government is always funding these quite contrived attempts to "understand" Muslims, but to be honest I think a lot of Muslims are fed up with that. "  LINK

Well let me tell you Ms Pathan - I/we non muslims are even MORE fed up with this utter embarrassing dhimmitude than you!!

I ended my above mentioned blog - Islamization on STEROIDS - Non-Muslim Female British Police Issued Hijabs -- Veils -with this statement and rhetorical question :

"And as Sharia law creeps into everyday British life - and is an alarming harbinger of the decline of Britain - what's the next step?- British policewomen in full fledged niqabs?"

I never expected the immediate and resounding answer of "YES!"

Sheffied Police Officers Dress As Muslims

POLICE in Sheffield swapped places with Muslim women – by dressing head to toe in full religious dress and walking round the city centre.

As part of an exercise called 'In Your Shoes Day', two South Yorkshire police officers and a police community support officer took to the streets wearing jilbabs and niqabs – Islamic outfits which leave just the face exposed. They were accompanied by four muslim women, to learn about the faith and understand their issues.

In return, the Muslim women had a tour of the custody suite, the CCTV office and were shown the day-to-day duties of a South Yorkshire police officer.

The three officers who took part in the experience were all born in Sheffield, while only two of the Muslim women were born in Sheffield.

The other two had come to the UK and settled in the city.

Sgt Deb Leonard, who participated in 'In Your Shoes Day', said: "I have gained an appreciation and understanding of what Muslim females experience when they walk out in public in clothing appropriate to their beliefs."

South Yorkshire Police said the event was the first in a series of activities planned to "celebrate diversity and encourage integration of different communities."

SLAVERY - RAPE & ABUSE - MODERN DAY REALITIES FOR MIDDLE EAST MAIDS

While browsing the web, yesterday, I viewed the Arab Times online site and came across several news articles about the rape and abuse of maids in Kuwait. I was surprised at the cluster of cases so I searched the web for more information and was nearly knocked off my chair when I realized the enormous extent of the huge numbers of foreign maids suffering abuse at the hands of their Middle East "sponsors".  To use the term "maid" is a misnomer - these women (and boys) are nothing more than modern day SLAVES.  Slaves to be abused, raped, tortured, maimed, and killed. 

Many of these maids come into the Middle East (particularly Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon) from Indonesia, the Phillipines, Sri Lanka and Ethiopia - smaller numbers come from India and Bangladesh. Saudi Arabia has the largest number of these imported domestics estimated at 200,000 in 2004. These maids are seen as inferiors to their Middle Eastern masters and many countries do not even recognize them as being covered by labor laws - including minimum wage:

"The plight of domestic workers in Lebanon rose to the spotlight during the summer of 2006, when Israel launched a thirty-four-day military offensive on Lebanon. In Arabic, the term "Abed" is used to denote a "black" person or "slave" and the word is sometimes heard in reference to Africans or Sri Lankans. Non-Arab Afro-Asian migrants in Lebanon are physically looked upon as inferior due to their positions as servants. These workers remain excluded under Article 6 of Lebanese labour laws and are often victims of abuse by both employers and agencies." LINK

The vast majority of these women are seeking an opportunity to earn money and send remittances back to their families - 

".......Phillipines, where the economy relies heavily on remittances from nearly eight million Filipinos working overseas. Of that eight million, about 73,000 work in Kuwait. Some 60,000 are women employed mainly as maids and earning less than $200 a month on average, labor groups say.

Some of these woman do quickly realize the danger and manage to escape in a few days. But, many of the remaining "servants" are left in a living nightmare.

Here are some of the sickening stories of abuse, etc that I came across with a quick net search:

Saudi employer accused of Ramadan abuse on Indonesian maid - burned her with hot iron and lye, forced to eat feces, smashed her teeth and jammed broken teeth down her throat

Widespread gang rape of slave boys by Arab masters

 

Saudi man/sponsor beat maid - whipped her with an electric wire, burned her genitals & broke her front teeth --- and never paid her

 

Man fractures maid's spine

 

Saudi couple beat Indonesian maid for one month - maid's hands and feet are amputated due to gangrene

 

15 "youths" try to gang rape maid

 

Saudi man beats 2 Indonesian maids to death puts 2 others in Intensive Care

 

Filipino woman hired as beautician jumps from window after being beaten by female employer and told she must now be a maid

 

Indian maids in Kuwait - beaten and tortured by employers then tossed onto road

 

Bahrain - Ethiopian maid jumps from second floor window to escape abuse

 

Maid arrested for bewitching her employer

 

Saudi maid kept as slave for 18 yrs - never paid and starved

 

Saudi maid kept as slave and never paid salary for 10yrs

 

Bahrain Maid sets trap for "sex pests"

 

Lebanon - maids abandoned and dumped at hospitals if sick

 

Domestic workers are dying (suicide, murder)in Lebanon at a rate of more than one per week

 

Is it any wonder many of these maids choose to run away? - 

 

"In what can be termed a modern-day slave trade, Sri Lankan women arrive in Lebanon only to find themselves abused, imprisoned, raped, hungry, defenseless and alone. Siriani P., 27, came to Beirut in a desperate attempt to save her family from a life of poverty. Just ten months later, however, she grabbed the first opportunity to run away from her employers. LINK

 

Unfortunately, more often than not, this often makes these women more vulnerable to predators  and they soon find their hoped for emancipation leads them directly into  prostitution.

 

It is interesting that instead of seeing the hundreds of women/maids who flee their sponsor's home as a reason to investigate and reflect upon the domestics plight and their widespread abuse - this "maid flight" is seen as an irritation and enormous inconvenience for their muslim employers:

 

"Families in Jeddah and Riyadh live in constant fear of maids running away. Maids are sometimes like a rope that we place around our necks with them in control."  LINK

 

More from Saudi Arabia:

 

"About 20,000 runaway housemaids from Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka have escaped from their employers for alleged abuse and maltreatment.

 

But the real story is not the above quote - but the POLICE spokesman who proceeds into a major WHINE complaining the abused, runaway maids cost their employers and the Kingdom money.

 

The shame of modern day slavery is not exclusive to the muslim countries as it appears that muslims are bringing their maid slavery behaviors into "multicultural" Western countries - a few examples:

 

Irvine CA Couple -Abdelnasser Eid Youssef Ibrahim and Amal Ahmed Ewis-abd Motelib -found guilty of child slavery

 

Long Island NY - Millionaires arrested after half naked Indonesian maid escapes mansion

 

Germany refuses to help slaves of Persian Gulf sheiks

 

Colorado USA -Saudi man "sex slave" trial begins 

 

Brussel's officials raid hotel and remove 17 girls who were enslaved by Arab Royal family

 

So what is the solution to such a far reaching travesty of humanity?

 

Stopping women from going to the Middle East to be maids?

 

Ethiopia bans citizens from working in "abusive" Lebanon

 

Abuse causes Sri Lanka to send fewer maid to Arab countries

 

Concern?

 

Indonesian Embassy concerned about maid abuse

 

Writing story books?

 

Lebanon launches series of books to sensitize population to foreign maids

 

Ad campaigns?

 

Saudi Arabia begin "Be nice to your maid" ads

 

Better yet - How about swift arrest and LONG term jail sentences for those who abuse/rape etc these (or any) women :

 

Saudi Man gets 27 years for keeping women a "sex slave"

 

The above USA trial resulted in the conviction of Homaidan al-Turki. This conviction, in turn,  brought seething protests from muslims that al-Turki was "framed" and accusations of "Islamophobia" against the United States judiciary/prosecution. The Saudi press claimed he would never have been convicted in Saudi Arabia. LINK 

 

The Saudi press is right.

 

That is the sad and unfortunate reality for the thousands of women living as maids in the Middle East. Abusive employers receive NO punishment --- whereas a beaten, gangrenous, hospitalized maid --- who reports torture at the hands of her muslim employer - will get the Islamic Court ordered 79 lashes for her complaints along with a continued life of abuse or even death.
