Pakistani Honor Killing

(Sick, Sick Religion... a religion of 'pieces', because all they do is leave death, destruction and broken shards of civilization in their wake and "the mooslim in chief" wont say a damn thing about these two girls "that could be his daughters" cuz it might OFFEND the supine, protoplasmic, jellybellied, goathumping, koran thumpers.... the only good thought I have about shiite like this is that these innocents are in Heaven and will enjoy eternity with their TRUE Creator)


Pakistan - June 24: A family video showing two teenage girls enjoying rain in their house led to their murder in Chilas on Sunday night. Their mother was also gunned down allegedly by her stepson and his four friends.

Five masked men barged into the house of retired police officer Rehmat Nabi and started firing, killing his wife and daughters, aged 15 and 16.

According to police, the crime was motivated by a video clip circulated on mobile phones and showing the girls overjoyed by rain in the lawn of their bungalow.

The video, recorded six months ago, was circulated in the area four months later probably after a relative sent it to his friends.

Police believed that the girls' stepbrother Khutore took it as an "assault on the honour of his family" and tried to "restore the family's honour" by killing the girls.

Khutore escaped when police tried to get in touch with him for investigation. But, his four friends were arrested and, according to a senior police official, they have confessed to the crime. A case has been registered against the five.

Fox Poll: For First Time Majority Of Americans Find Obama Unlikeable

(Welcome to the club)

Via Fox News:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/06/25/fox-news-poll-obama-ratings-suffer-as-scandals-continue/

Barack Obama's job rating remains upside-down — no big change there.  Yet for the first time in a Fox News poll, more than half of voters find Obama unlikeable.

In addition, only about a third of voters say they trust the federal government, and most want Congress to continue to investigate Benghazi, the IRS, the government's electronic surveillance program and the Justice Department's monitoring of journalists.

The new Fox News national poll of registered voters was released Tuesday.

More voters disapprove than approve of Obama's job performance on every issue save one:  terrorism (on that the president receives positive marks — 52 percent approve, while 41 percent disapprove).

In contrast, majorities disapprove of his handling of the deficit (63 percent disapprove), the economy (58 percent), gun control (57 percent), health care (55 percent) immigration (53 percent) and foreign policy (50 percent).

Voters are also unhappy with the president's handling of the National Security Agency's surveillance (61 percent disapprove) and the treatment of conservative groups by the IRS (55 percent).
Overall, Obama's job rating is underwater by eight percentage points:  43 percent of voters approve and 51 percent disapprove of his performance.  That's close to his previous rating of 44-50 percent in mid-June.  A year ago the president's rating was in positive territory: 48-43 percent (June 2012).

Tingles On Global Warming:
"Miami Is About To Turn Into Atlantis If We Don't Do Something About This"

IDIOT CHRIS MATTHEWS: Why did President Obama try to move the ball on global warming and climate change today? Because cities like Miami are about to turn into Atlantis if we don't do something about this. They're only five feet in the air, and they've got about three feet coming at them. There will be about two feet left of them in a couple decades.

South African Muslim, Union, Communist Groups Form "NO-Bama" Coalition To Call For Arrest Of Obama When He Visits Country On War Crime And Genocide Charges

Update:
http://zeenews.india.com/news/world/arrest-obama-south-africa-s-muslim-lawyers-body_857697.html

Johannesburg: The Muslim Lawyers' Association in South Africa has called for the arrest of US President Barack Obama on war crime and genocide charges when he visits the country from Friday.

The Association has called for Obama's arrest because they believe he has ordered the deaths of numerous suspects overseas, citing this as "reason enough for him to be investigated, charged, arrested, and tried in a South African court for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide".

It is one of fifteen civil society organisations that have banded together as the 'NO-Bama Coalition' to object to his first visit to the country as President.

The organisations include various trades unions and student's associations as well ruling African National Congress tripartite alliance partners – the South African Party and the Congress of South African Trade Unions.

The South African government is undeterred by the planned protests, saying that it might even be good for the country because allowing the protests would show the level of freedom of expression in South Africa.

(Do gays possess some kind of special fighting
power we haven't been told about?)

Via Washington Times:

The Pentagon on Tuesday toasted gays in the military, with a top adviser to President Obama declaring the country is "safer" now that homosexuals may serve openly.

"Because we repealed 'don't ask, don't tell,' our military ... is stronger and our country is safer, more equal and more just," said Valerie Jarrett, the keynote speaker at the Pentagon's gay pride celebration.

It was the Defense Department second annual gay pride gathering since September 2011, when Mr. Obama signed the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," a ban on gays serving openly in the military implemented during the Clinton administration. [...]

Wednesday's speakers were assembled by a new group, DOD Pride, and featured three senior officials, topped by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

(More SICK CRAP from the Islamic Religion... MOH & BO must be mighty proud)

Baghdad (AINA) — Gunmen opened fire on St. Mary Assyrian Church this on Tuesday morning, wounding two security guards. The gunmen were traveling in a civilian car, according to a source in the interior ministry, when they fired a barrage of bullets at the church, which is located in the Ameen Thania neighborhood in eastern Baghdad. The church guards were taken to Al Kindi hospital, where one is listed in serious condition.

73 churches have been attacked or bombed since June, 2004, including today's attack. 45 of the attacked churches were in Baghdad, 19 in Mosul, 8 in Kirkuk and 1 in Ramadi.

The first church was bombed on June 26, 2004. This bombing marked the start of a low grade genocide on the Assyrians of Iraq. Since 2004 the population of Assyrians in Iraq has dropped precipitously from 1.4 million to 600,000 — more than one half of Assyrians have fled Iraq to Syria, Jordan and Turkey.

We left Islam

Did you know -

*Quran (4:34) orders a man to beat his wife if she doesn't obey him?
Quran 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in their sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

*Quran plagiarised the wrong theory of ancient Greek scientists who believed that Semen originates from the backbone?
http://answering-islam.org/Quran/Science/semenproduction.htm


Who we are:

We are ex-Muslims. Some of us were born and raised in Islam and some of us had converted to Islam at some moment in our lives. We were taught never to question the truth of Islam and to believe in Allah and his messenger with blind faith. We were told that Allah would forgive all sins but the sin of disbelief (Quran 4:48 and 4:116). But we committed the ultimate sin of thinking and questioned the belief that was imposed on us and we came to realize that far from being a religion of truth, Islam is a hoax, it is hallucination of a sick mind and nothing but lies and deceits.

What we believe:

Some of us have embraced other religions but most of us have simply left Islam without believing in any other religion. We believe in humanity. We believe that humans do not need to follow a religion to be good. All we need to follow is the Golden Rule. All we have to do is to treat others the way we expect to be treated. This is the essence of all the goodness. All good religious teachings stem from this eternal principle. This is the ultimate guidance humanity need. This is the Golden Rule.

Why Mohammed was not a prophet:

One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad's life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their "right hand possessions" (Quran 33:50) He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.

Why Quran is not from God:

Muhammad produced no miracles and when pressed he claimed that his miracle is the Quran. Yet a cursory look at the Quran reveals that this book is full of errors. Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. It is badly compiled and it contradicts itself. There is nothing intelligent in this book let alone miraculous. Muhammad challenged people to produce a "Surah like it" or find an error therein, yet Muslims would kill anyone who dares to criticize it. In such a climate of hypocrisy and violence truth is the first casualty.

What is our goal?

We are apostates of Islam. We denounce Islam as a false doctrine of hate and terror. However we are not against Muslims who are our own kin and relatives. We do not advocate hate and violence. Muslims are the main victims of Islam. Our goal is to educate them and let them see the truth. We are against Islam and not the Muslims. We strive to bring the Muslims into the fold of humanity. Eradicate Islam so our people can be liberated, so they can prosper and break away from the pillory of Islam. We would like to see Islamic countries dedicate more time to science and less time to Quran and Sharia. We would like to see them prosper and contribute to human civilization. We would like to see the draconian laws of Islam eliminated and people are treated humanely. We strive for freedom of beliefs, for equality of gender and for oneness of humankind.

Humankind's biggest challenge:

Today the humanity is facing a great danger. Islamic fundamentalism is on the rise and the hatred is brewing in the minds of millions of Muslims. This hatred must be contained or there would be disastrous consequences. We believe that the education is the only answer. Muslim intellectuals must realize that Islam is a false doctrine and they must let the rest of Islamic world know the truth. Islam is a religion that thrives on the arrogant assumption that it is the most logical, the most scientific and the most perfect religion. While the fact is that it is the stupidest doctrine — the most backward and absurd belief. Once the truth about Islam becomes common knowledge, it will be weakened and the Islamic fanaticism will lose its fangs. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being expended to combat Islamic terrorism, yet no effort is made to contain the ideology behind this terrorism. It is our belief that Islamic terrorism will not be eliminated unless and until the ideology behind it is exposed and eradicated. This is what we intend to do.

EEEEEKKK.... Gay People

What are We Going to Do About Gay People?

While reactionaries and radicals rage on both sides of the issue of gay marriage, Andrew Klavan still believes that people of goodwill can find a way forward and make their voices heard...unless, that is, they're just too darn rational to get good ratings on the MSM news channels.
