Five years of RightGirl. Five years of hate and terror and murder. Five years of immersing myself in the stories that deal with the very worst humanity has to offer, for hours every day, until my dreams are haunted by falling buildings and fire and shards of broken glass. Five years of having those who disagree with me call me names, or threaten my safety. Five years of being their whipping girl.

I do it because someone has to. I do it because your six o’clock news is besotted with things like the Obama administration and Jessica Simpson’s weight, and buries stories like this:

A Pakistani man went on trial in France on Tuesday for setting his ex-girlfriend alight after she refused to marry him, in a case that rights groups are using as as a symbol of violence against women in poor neighbourhoods.

Amer Mushtaq Butt, 28, doused Chahrazade Belayni in petrol and set fire to her on the street as she was leaving her home in the under-privileged Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Marne in 2005.

She suffered third-degree burns on 60 percent of her body, fell into a coma and underwent many operations. Belayni, now 21, works for the police.

“I want him to pay for what he did, not for my sake but to show other girls who have problems with their partners that it’s possible to fight back and the justice system won’t abandon them,” she told reporters just before the trial opened.

Butt fled to Pakistan after the attack on Belayni but returned to France to hand himself in a year later. He has confessed to the attack and blamed it on an obsession with the young woman. He faces a maximum sentence of life in jail.

Reuters goes on to say how aggrieved these poor immigrants are, and how they kill and maim their women because they feel excluded from society. Tell ya what - I plan to exclude any fucker from my society who thinks it’s ok to set fire to his girlfriend. Not the other way around. Is there anything these “youths” won’t burn?

Vlad Tepes Blog contributor Grace has an essay on the Aqsa Parvez/Toronto Life honor killing story. Bottom line:

If it looks like an honour killing, walks like an honour killing and talks like an honour killing, it is an honour killing. Honour in Islam depends upon the dishonouring of women and to claim otherwise is a lie.

A Saudi man, member of the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, has killed his daughter for converting to Christianity, the Gulf News daily reported, without providing details on the identity of the main characters in the case. Sources close to the victim said that the man had cut the tongue of his daughter and set her on fire following a heated debate on religion, the newspaper published in Dubai writes.

Remember, the Saudis are our friends, and all religions are pretty much equal.

A Clayton County man was behind bars Sunday, accused of killing his own daughter. Police said the father was angry because he felt his daughter was disgracing the family.

Investigators said 54-year-old Chaudhry Rashad was so outraged at his daughter, Sandela Kanwal, and her plans for divorce that he killed her after a heated argument at the family’s home. Investigators said Rashad confessed to strangling the 25-year-old woman.

Fox News television just had a few apologists on, talking about how Muslims obey the laws of the countries they are in, and how honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. On the latter point, I agree - they happen in many backwards cultures, including Islam.

He was originally charged with obstruction.

A Mississauga man is now facing a first-degree murder charge in the 2007 death of his teenage sister.

Waqas Parvez, 27, was originally charged with obstructing police after his 16-year-old sister, Aqsa Parvez, was strangled in early December at her Mississauga home.

Aqsa Parvez was murdered for not wearing a Muslim headscarf.

Good. I was worried that the sycophants here in Ontario would defend Aqsa Parvez’s father, stating that murdering his daughter was just part of “his culture”. Thankfully common sense has prevailed.

The charge against Aqsa Parvez’s father was upgraded this morning to first-degree murder, implying premeditation in the death of his daughter.

Muhammad Parvez, 57, was originally charged with second-degree murder, but it was upgraded when he appeared in court today. The Pakistan-born taxicab driver was arrested last December at his home, where Aqsa was found near death by emergency workers.

Her asshole brother is being charged with obstruction. I sincerely hope that they are both given the maximum. And in the case of the father, who was not born here: He ought to have his citizenship stripped. If we could do it to Conrad Black because he wanted his peerage, we can certainly do it to an animal who would murder his daughter just because she was more Canadian than him.

Teachers, police and councils are afraid to take action against so-called honour crimes for fear of being accused of racism, it is claimed.

The threat of being called a racist and having your name smeared is so real these days, that authorities are leaving women to die in the hands of their zealous menfolk. Why would a white cop or teacher speak out, if it means they’ll be vilified by the “religion of peace” representatives, or worse yet: brought in front of a thought-crime tribunal?

It found that “political correctness” was preventing bodies from tackling crimes which exist in the country’s Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities.

The authors said families withdraw teenage daughters from school because they fear men will be unwilling to marry them if they are educated.

Many men brought up here want “freshies” - women “uncontaminated” by ideas of independence.

Rahni Binjie of the Roshni Asian Women’s Aid, a refuge in Nottingham, said: “We’ve had women who have disappeared from the education system. We don’t know if they’ve been taken abroad or killed or anything.”

Activists say there are particular problems with taxi firms who return women fleeing from abuse.

Jasvinder Sanghera, of the Karma Nirvana refuge in Derby, said: “We just can’t trust them. This can be a matter of life and death for these girls.”

Nice. Cabbies returning abused women to their abusers. Tell me again why we keep letting these people in?

Sabia Rani, 19, was repeatedly attacked over a three-week period, suffering bruising to 90 per cent of her body and ‘catastrophic’ injuries usually only seen in car crash victims.

She had arrived five months earlier from Pakistan for an arranged marriage to Shazad Khan, 25, of Oakwood Grange, Leeds, a jury at Leeds Crown Court was told.

But Khan’s family, with whom she lived, took an almost instant dislike to her, said Simon Myerson, prosecuting, and Khan began beating her.

The attack which killed her was “prolonged and vicious,” the court heard.

Her agonising rib fractures were caused by “kicks, stamps or very hard punches.”

The victim’s mother-in-law and a sister-in-law blamed the injuries on “evil spirits, curses and black magic”.

But after Khan was convicted of murder at Leeds Crown Court last January police investigated the role of other family members.

They arrested and charged the victim’s mother-in-law Phullan Bibi, 52, sisters-in-law Nazia Naureen, 28, and Uzma Khan, 23, and her husband Majid Hussain, 28.

Why not kill her? After all, she was bought and paid for, imported as their property. They felt they could do whatever they pleased with her. She was not a person, she was property.

I hope they convict and deport all of them. Send them back to Crapistan.
