Gift of Radicals: Silencing the Woman by Chelle Stockman

{Originally when I wrote this, the news had reported the story was about a teacher and one of her sons.  Three days later they ammended the story to say the sons and daughters  and in American news these sons and daughters were called her students. I left the journal entry as it was in error, yet, not one person took the time to either email me or correct me.  I conclude that few actually read what I wrote and that of those who did view me, they were not persuaded to care by the story that I found horrific.}

 

The acts of the radicals in Sudan who are calling for the death of a teacher who allowed her child to name his Teddy Bear, Muhammed (Mohammed), has me bewildered and angered, not only at their extremist mentality, but also at their utter and abject stupidity.  They blindly follow as they are ordered by other men in clerics' robes and are all too easily incited to commit attrocities in the name of God.  They are no different than the Jews back in the days of Jesus. 

So a little boy wanted to name his Teddy Bear Muhammed.  Obviously the boy thought Muhammed was someone important enough, someone safe and someone he could trust, someone he might want to hug in his bed at night to stave off creatures of his child's imagination.  To a child, these things are important and in his child-like way, he is bringing honor to Muhammed. However, the radicals seeking to punish his mother for allowing him to name his furry companion the name of a prophet reveals their utter foolishness and complete lack of humanity, all the things God created.  I'll tell you what these radicals have succeeded in doing and that is, they stole away this child's trust in Muhammed.  I ask these radicals a few necessary questions. How many of you men have insisted that your son be named after the prophet?  How many of your children have lived up to your idea of what this prophet stood for?  How many of your children who bore the name of this prophet have disappointed you?  I say to you this.  If you believe this mother should in anyway be punished for allowing her son to name his security companion after this prophet then logically you should also seek to give equal punishment to all those fathers who insisted their sons bear this prophet's name and also punish all those who bear this name but fail to live up to those heavenly standards. But you aren't fair, nor are you logical.

Now, I am going to say one other thing that irks me to no end and that is that your women never appear in public at your protests.  Your angered faces appear world wide on television screens and none of your women have their own voice.  Let those women escape and they tell a different story and are far more compassionate toward their fellow human beings that your own leaders are; and what do you angered easily led pirates of truth and life do? You order a death upon them wherever they may be found.  You ungrateful sons of muzzled women.  You came through their wombs and yet you deprive them their own voice.  I am ashamed of you.  I am filled with disrespect toward you. You are a sickening example of what God's message to this world is.  You bring dishonor to God's creation and to God's image.

Repent.  Change your hearts.  Be transformed and restore your women to the honorable place they deserve- along side of you. You have a heart.  You have your own ears.  You have your own mind. Are you so deaf and stoney that you require men in men in robes posing as your lords to dictate to you what God wants of you? Are you so distrusting of God that you fear entering a personal relationship with Him? Shame!

If you continue to follow these lords of the cleric, you shall earn their perdition and all because you gave up your own right to have a personal relationship with our creator.  I'll mourn for you, because I know deep down, you'd love our Father if you allowed yourself to know him.  It is your right.  These clerics are nothing more than men who bleed, just like you.  They have no magical knowlege that you don't also possess.  Claim your own rights to be a child of your God and then bring honor back to your mothers, wives, and daughters.  I'm trusting that you'll hear the voice of the divine in your own hearts and that it won't come by way of other men who lord their importance over you.

For those of you who enter this transformation, I pray for God to bless you.

Vacation from Propaganda

Greetings People.

I tried to flee the floods of propaganda amidst the storm of peace, but propaganda followed me wherever I went.  I've just returned from news about Musharraf in Pakistan.  One question.

 Is he a touch paranoid? I mean, did he have to torture and beat Aitizaz in front of everyone for daring to think he could win an election over Musharraf?  Or, might Musharraf be a touch paranoid because his rival Benazir Bhutto came home only to be seen having tea with the likes of Nawaz Sharif, according to Pakistani gossip news.  Makes me wonder if bin Laden is feeling a little slighted that she has been seen in public speaking to other men.  After all, most know bin Laden has the hots for this tough  yet elegant lady.                           

       comment: I knew before America began covering Benazir Bhutto's self release out of her Dubai exile that she was already returning to Pakistan.  America was being bombarded by alcoholics, drug users, renegade Lexus drivers and women who don't wear undies under their cheap white skirts, washed up a football player planning a coup to steal back his own property and the likes of other such nonsense; all under the privledge of News. 

Nevermind that one new picture of bin Laden surfaced with his handsome face sporting a perfectly applied henna to his neatly trimmed beard which is a preparation for a ceremony of reuniting with one of his wives. Could that be the gorgeous Benazir Bhutto? The silly American News sources neglected to cover much of any substance in those following weeks and then a teensy blip about Ms. Bhutto was all we got.  I sure hope you'll all go take a peek at her history and GHW Bush's agreements with her back in 1988.  Seems our President was quite the effective jihadist himself, while American tax dollars helped to fund his hirees, the Muhajadeen in that jihad.  I warned you all when it came to my attention that Ms. Bhutto was planning to return to Pakistan and not one of you seemed to care.

Then on cue, someone tried to assassinate her but failed.  I say thank goodness.  Why?  She was the only leader who ever gave a care about other women in her country.  That is almost enough for me to put her on a pedastal.  Thing is, who would want her dead?

Well, let's see.  There is Musharraf and PPL and PPP folks who might be jealous of her power and might have had political aspirations of their own while pretending to be a supporter of her. On a more serious note, there were those who knew that she had some very powerful allies in America and Great Britain that she relied on from time to time to help take down the opposing forces.  Today we call those oppostion forces terrorists, so it is possible.  It could also be hired mercanaries that intend to keep Ms. Bhutto from ever mentioning her companions in the final leg of one of her jihads in Afghanistan, mainly GHW Bush.  Yes, it could be that a group of "contractors" were hired to erase her so American History can be properly written to make those in Capitol Dreggs, look squeaky clean without looking too uptight. Now that's a capital drag.

At any rate, I'm back swimming in the pools of propaganda as I try to retrieve the tidbits of news floating about.  Oh yeah!  I almost forgot to warn you!   Forgive me, but Pakistan is in real trouble now.  They might have to be eliminated as a country.  I know, I know, if they get taken out, who will contend with the Hindi folks over Kashmir?  I suppose Black Water can hire someone to keep that war going.  We can't have age old wars die simply because an entire country is wiped out, now, can we? 

Yup, Pakistan is about to become a carefully supplied diversion.  I suggest you all look for what isn't being covered as you keep one of your eyes on the Pakistani troubles.

Oh yeah, lets pray while we are at it because as awful as some people seem, furnishing the world with terrorists and such, people do die.  People are tortured.   Landscape is forever changed.  Pray and don't stop praying. 

We humans do not deserve the criminal options supplied by the inhumane governments of this world today, including our own.  I wonder if Bush is as paranoid as Musharaff right now?   I know Cheney isn't.  He is the wild profiteer, the devil's own son.
