#crazy mullah

My GF must be a lesbian.

[feministfang]

Day by day i listen to the bullshit these muslims (both men and women) promote in the name of their religion, i understand more and more why the western world doesn’t give a fuck about muslim oppression and why the world is so Islamophobic (which includes me).

Islamic scholar, Zakir Naik, visited my country Pakistan and started preaching why the rapists and murderers deserve forgiveness because allah is forgiving. He preached too much shit like why is it women’s fault rape happens and men have right to marry four times in islam that too to the audience of people who live in a deep rooted misogynistic society where every male is a potential rapist.

*Edit: just found out he also claimed that unmarried women are 'bazaari aurat' meaning prostitutes!

A brave woman amongst the crazy audience dared to speak up for women’s rights boldly and for the women who are victims of domestic violence, this bastard instantly villainised her in front of everyone, portraying her as if she had committed blasphemy against islam, knowing very well the mullah cult mob could lynch her to death any second.

There’s a whole debate going on on the internet regarding this and as expected, the public is supporting and praising him. A friend of mine said some words against him on her story and she received a text from another WOMAN who said something like "dOn'T lEt wEstErn wOrLd dIvErT yOur mInd! He sAid nOthInG wRoNg. MEn aRe aLLowEd tO mArrY fOur tiMeS iN iSlAm iTs AllAhs oRdEr🤡"

This man is banned from all the western countries for a reason and muslims like him are the reason why the western world gives them silent treatment. I don’t blame them at all for their Islamophobia. It’s the muslims fault completely. You behave like that, you get cancelled globally.

islam is the most misogynistic cult on this planet, but we are supposed to listen to allah's commands and don’t listen to the western feminists otherwise we are white supremacists or Islamophobic! To hell with that! I will always listen to a western feminist over what a mullah or a mulli in her ninja 🥷 suit has to say!

People love to bemoan the fate of dead Jews who were unable to defend themselves. They’re not too crazy about the living ones who do.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, Israel entered Rafa in Gaza to clear out remnants of a modern-day Nazi organization that’s embedded itself among women and children. Joe Biden, who is giving a speech at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Days of Remembrance ceremony in Washington today, tried to stop them.

Holocaust remembrances can often be little more than empty virtue signaling. It takes no moral courage to condemn crimes of the past if you’re not willing to stop the crimes of today. Save your sympathy.

Indeed, perhaps the most self-destructive myth within the modern Jewish American community is that the best way to temper hate is to fund more Holocaust education. It probably causes the opposite reaction. If the Holocaust taught us anything, it’s that Jews can’t wait for others — not even the most educated people in the world — to protect them. As Jeff Jacoby notes, “Israel doesn’t exist because there was a Holocaust. There was a Holocaust because Israel didn’t exist.”

And if keffiyeh-wearing Hamas cheerleaders weren’t moved by Oct. 7 videos of Jewish women being sexually tortured and slain, they sure aren’t going to be shocked into decency by 80-year-old grainy black and white pictures of bodies piled in pits. Do we really believe the Hamas apologists on major newspaper editorial boards, in the State Department, on Ivy League campuses, and in Congress don’t know this history? Of course they do. They often appropriate this past Jewish suffering by risibly accusing Israel of Nazi war crimes.

For the left, even minor political setbacks can be likened to Nazi Germany—but don’t you dare point out that cosplay revolutionaries on campus are trying to reenact Kristallnacht. Oh, it’s not about the Jews? Where are the “peace” protesters when Syria deploys chemical warfare against civilians? Or when the Chicoms open internment camps for Uyghurs? Or when the mullahs crack down on Iranian women? On foreign policy, the social justice warrior has an exceptionally narrow focus. It is not happenstance.

Perhaps it’s because Jews are too “white.” Maybe it’s because Jews have been successful and capitalistic and thrive in meritocratic Western nations. Perhaps it’s because the alleged victims of fictitious Jewish “colonialism,” “apartheid,” and “genocide” are brown and poor and Muslims.

Or perhaps it’s because Israel is more powerful than its enemies. This, of course, is due to the Jewish state having to fight and win wars instigated by its foes. Every time Israel repels new aggression, as it has for seven decades, the would-be invaders demand everyone rewind history to a time more convenient to their cause. In this one case, Westerners always seem to oblige.

Whatever drives the hate, it speaks to the violent stupidity and immorality of contemporary identitarian beliefs.

im pakistani but the conservative party winning in america and american women discussing alternatives and shit is making me think that pakistani women never had rights such as abortion on demand, doctors willing to tie your tubes or perform a hysterectomy or prescribe contraceptive pills on demand, no fault divorce, legal protections against marital rape and marital forced pregnancies, women shelters for battered women, cross sex harmones for dysphoric people and sam sex marriage for gay people (im the latter 2) and probably never will because of these mullahs and so many pakistanis worshipping these mullahs and yet so many pakistani women are so willing to shove themselves in arranged marriages with unknown relatives. i get that arranged marriages are forced marriages and a lot of pakistani women cant say no to that, but a lot of these braindead women ARE HAPPY AND ONBOARD WITH THEIR PARENTS MARRYING THEM OFF TO SOME MALE RELATIVE THEY BARELY KNOW DESPITE THE FACT THAT THESE WOMEN HAVE NONE OF THE LEGAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS MENTIONED ABOVE. they think im crazy for pointing this out and dont understand my mental agony that my parents will force marry me off one day but expect me to be happy and onboard with that just like them but its like a double nightmare for me because im a dysphoric female homosexual but these dumbfucks would rather side with my abusive parents than me... i hate pakistani women so much they all have crab bucket mentality and i wish i was dead. sorry im just incoherently venting now because im really tired

Yes, unfortunately a lot of women take part on those things and it breaks my heart to see how low they can go.

Shortly after the terror attacks of October 7, the United States’ position initially appeared to be very clear. This was Israel’s war to fight and we would provide material and vocal support, but allow them to handle it as they saw fit. That lasted for about two weeks. By this past weekend, the situation had shifted noticeably, with threats of escalation showing up to the north of Israel from Hezbollah and rocket attacks on American posts in various places, including Iraq. And now both the Secretary of State and the Defense Secretary are clearly preparing the country for the possibility that the entire situation may blow up and our military is “ready” to go to war if we must. That’s a lot to soak in on a Monday morning, but a wider war may turn out to be inevitable unless Iran can be convinced to back down. (Associated Press)

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Sunday that the United States expects the Israel-Hamas war to escalate through involvement by proxies of Iran, and they asserted that the Biden administration is prepared to respond if American personnel or armed forces become the target of any such hostilities. “This is not what we want, not what we’re looking for. We don’t want escalation,” Blinken said. “We don’t want to see our forces or our personnel come under fire. But if that happens, we’re ready for it.” Austin, echoing Blinken, said “what we’re seeing is a prospect of a significant escalation of attacks on our troops and our people throughout the region.”

I’m not going to criticize Blinken, Austin, or the Biden administration for facing reality and saying that we are “prepared” for war. It’s a crazy world, and we should always be prepared to go to war if we must. But we must also keep in mind the fact that war is and always must be the course of last resort. (Did we learn nothing from Iraq?) Diplomacy is always the preferred option if possible.

Sadly, diplomacy with Iran may not even be possible. They remain the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism and they are already at war with us, Israel, and the West in general. They just fight their wars in an unconventional fashion. If Hezbollah opens up a full attack on Israel from the north and attempts to move into Israeli territory, we will know immediately that it was Iran that equipped the terrorists and gave them the green light to go in.

In this regard, Joe Biden does bear a significant amount of the blame. It’s difficult to argue that we didn’t see this level of unrest and fighting in the Middle East during the Trump administration because we were cracking down on Iran, enforcing the sanctions on their oil exports, and taking out leading terrorist figures with missiles when they misbehaved. That all changed as soon as Joe Biden took office and began begging Iran to restart Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal. Iran has grown fat with cash under Biden’s watch, shipping massive volumes of oil to China and other destinations, all of which should have been blocked under the existing sanctions.

Biden’s timid and conciliatory approach to Iran was not rewarded with cooperation or better behavior. The Mullahs simply pocketed our cash and used it to ramp up the capabilities of Hamas and Hezbollah. And now they have launched a full-fledged war on Israel that threatens to embroil the entire region if not the world. (Russia has already been threatening Israel and China is now making similar noises and they have dispatched warships into the region. This could still go global.)

It didn’t have to be this way. These bad actors, particularly Iran, do not respect tokens of friendship or efforts to bargain. They only understand and respect strength. When America fails to lead with strength, our adversaries take note and have shown that they are willing to seize the opportunity, potentially to horrific effect. It may be too late to dial this back at this point, but unless Biden shows a significantly stiffer spine, the entire world may wind up changing significantly, leaving America’s days as a global power and thought leader in the dust.

Wedding Shenanigans

Pt.1

Krall x Reader Birthday Mini series

Warnings: wedding planning, Stress, Suggestive Themes, Orcs Being Orcs, xenophobia towards Krall and orcs (not reader),  etc. (It’s D&D Whadcha Expect), I have not been to a wedding before so my planning might be wrong.

On a warm summer night on the beach with a wonderful picnic, Krall suddenly props up onto one knee “(Name) I fell in love with you the moment I met you a second time, We have our differences and our fights, but I think I’m ready to take this next step with you if you will have me” he finishes his short speech your eyes widen, “Oh Krall, of course, I’ll marry you!” you say throwing yourself into his arms, He wraps his arms around your waist spinning you around after he puts you down slipping the engagement ring on your finger “I love you” you whisper Krall hums leaning down to press his lips to yours. 

After that summer, work began picking up because of the end of the summiting season when all the experienced adventurers would start making their way out of the mainlands and up the mountains to help the trapped and helpless from the storms. New armor, weapons, and tools were in demand. Thankfully that was fortunate for you both because the more mullah the easier it was to spend on the wedding. After the last dwarf walks out the shop door, Krall immediately hangs the closed sign on the window “Krall? You ask while dusting your hands on your leather apron “Yes love” he hums “How would you feel if Leah came and visited after the solstice?” you say looking at him “Yeah sure, is she gonna be helping with our wedding planning or something?” he questions untieing his hair from the long braid, the grey streaks in his jet black hair more prominent nowadays. “I was thinking she could be the ring bearer” you admit leaning against the door frame and watching your fiancee as he pulls off the leather apron “You should put your hair in a braid more often hon” you sigh with a giddy smile on your face “Oh really?” he asks a smirk on his face as he looks back at you “I will mark that in my book” he chuckles walking over to you, he helps you pull off the apron, sweeping you up bridal style before leaving

out the back door. 

There you were both sitting over dinner, “What should the theme be?” you ask quill in hand “Hmmm. . . Why don’t we do jewels, would that be too ironic since y’know” Krall says looking up at you and rubbing his neck. He watches you scribble the idea down “What do you have so far?” he questions holding his hand out, you place the notebook in his hand for him to look at the ideas “I like the butterfly garden, but I also like the forest green” you sigh placing your chin on your palm shoveling more chicken into your mouth “Well I think that Butterfly Garden is a beautiful choice, but I also like Rosegold Field is a good choice as well” Krall admits placing the notebook down next to you “Maybe we could combine the two” he hums taking your hand in his admiring the ring “I can’t believe we’ll be married within the next two winter solstices” he chuckles breathlessly “Crazy isn’t it, how time flys by so fast when you’re in love” Krall whispers his gold irises glimmering in the candlelight, you give him a sweet smile before continuing the conversation of wedding planning “What kind of wine brand should we have, Brorn, or Knosh?” you ask “Knosh, I don’t wish for a dwarven or orc type alcohol, something lighter” he says a puff of air blowing a few stray strands from his face “Knosh it is, what type of main dishes?” from then the conversation slowly died down when you finish your glasses of wine. Standing up and grabbing your plates “Shall we wash this grime off and forget our day for a moment?” you ask when you return resting a hand on his shoulder “Sure my love” he hums standing from his chair, holding his hand out to lead you to the bathroom.

“This is so relaxing” you sigh leaning against Krall's chest “We do this almost every day love” Krall chuckles at your dramatics “I know but it’s always relaxing to wash away the worries of the day” You hum grabbing Krall’s wrists to wrap his arms around your middle “If you insist my dear” he sighs against your neck, his eyes closing as the warm water seeps into his chilled bones,

Krall feels you turn in his arms so you’re sitting up “Do you want me to help you with your hair?” you ask. Krall opens his eyes to the sight of you “If it doesn’t trouble you” he says a loving smile following his words “Of course not” you hum lathering some soap into your hand before working it into his jet black tresses after you wash it out, you go through it with a brush, his hair sticking together in strands from the water “I love you” you hear him sigh, his hands moving to your waist. “I love you too, Krall” You breathe a dreamy smile taking over your features, and he pulls you to his chest kissing you deeply before letting his hands wander to your hips.

You wake up to your Fiancee kissing your neck “Morning sleeping beauty” He yawns his arms tightening around you “Morning handsome” you say turning to face him and placing a kiss on his lips, his tusks poking you gently “Last night was quite satisfactory, don’t you think?” he teases his hands tracing patterns on your hips “Krall it is nearly time to get up, we don’t have time for intimacy” you scold as he begins sucking marks into your skin “Please dear one at least” he exhales into your chest “It starts at one and trails to five” you groan as his left-hand finds your thigh. Before it escalates a maid knocks on your door, Krall quickly throws the covers over you both before allowing her to enter “Sorry Masters but there are two orcs demanding your presence” she says a pink dusting her cheeks as she averts her eyes looking at the painting above your bed opening the curtains letting the barely peaking suns rays into the room “It is quite alright Madeline we shall be down in a few moments” Krall hums releasing his arms from your waist. The maid rushes out of your bedroom closing the door behind her “Poor girl, see what I mean, you’ll give the new employees a heart attack” you scold Krall again “I think they’ll be fine, they are lucky to have such a caring employer like you” he chuckles.

You both make your way downstairs properly dressed, and you stop dead in your tracks Elaran and Lin are standing in your dining hall, “Elaran!” You say as she holds her arms open for you to be pulled into, Krall hugging her as well “It has been so long since I’ve seen you!” you laugh “We couldn’t travel with the giant bridge in Righam being re-built” Lin states “I heard about the bridge collapsing” Krall hums his hand resting on your shoulder. The four of you sit down to have morning tea, “So I heard about the engagement” Lin hums, “Yes we are to be married in the summer of two winter solstices” you giddily say “Late congratulations” Elaran giggles, “Have you

chosen a theme yet?” she asks her big green eyes glittering in excitement “We are thinking on butterfly garden with rose gold embellishments but haven’t decided yet” you answer, the conversations drift until lunch when the two depart for Norvington harbor promising to visit for the setup and wedding ceremony.

The solstice arrives and goes before you know it Leah sits in the parlor waiting for you to get back, You walk in to find the brunette sipping on some tea, her purple scarf still snuggly fit around her neck “Leah!” you squeal making her jump up from the couch “Oh my god it has been so long!” she squeals running to you taking your hands in hers “It has, I just got done putting the groceries up, Krall will be home in an hour he is at the shop” you sigh pulling her into a hug “How have you been” she asks, you blush slightly “Oh absolutely wonderful!” you sigh dramatically flopping onto one of the plush loveseats a dreamy look overtaking your face “You look like a teen again” Leah giggles “You would too if you found your soulmate, of course, its not sunshine and rainbows all of the time, but he really is sweet” Leah hums sitting back down on the seat picking her warm drink up again “How is the shop so far?” she asks “It’s going great, we hit bank with all of the adventurers needing new armor or repairs, way more than enough to pay for a wedding that is, but winter has barely even started on those lonely mountains so it will be a while till we get a break from the smith” she laughs “I can’t believe we grew up in an orc hating town now to be married to a half one” Leah sighs leaning back. The door opens pulling you to both look at a very snowy Krall “I advise not going outside anytime soon” he gruffly says only his eyes and forehead peaking out of his scarf “We picked up on that, why don’t you come and dethaw before bathing” you laugh Leah giggling slightly as you approach your fiancee “Sounds splendid” He says unwrapping the scarf from his face the icicles on his eyebrows dripping down his face as the heat hits his body after he hangs all of his winter layers on the coat rack he makes his way to the fire putting his hands in front of the flames nodding at Leah “Hello Leah nice to meet you again” he hums rubbing his hands together “Hello again” she greets. 

You, Krall, and Leah spend most of her visit catching up and planning, but on the last day you bring out the news “Leah we want you to be the ring bearer” you say holding her hands in yours

her eyes widen “I would love too!” she exclaims pulling you and Krall into a hug, “I feel honored to be your ring bearer” she says with a wide smile, the three of you spend the rest of that night talking over wine and cheese.

Spring, and summer, shift into colors of orange once again the seasons moving as swiftly as the strong winds, you and Krall spend most of your days in the smith, but you both decided on the theme of butterfly garden with aqua embellishments, you and Krall start making the guest list “I don’t know if I should invite my parents” you sigh into your hands slouching forwards Krall looks over from his book “Why don’t you come over here so we can talk about it more comfortably” he says, Krall knew the view they had on people like him, you nod sliding the chair back and sitting by his side snuggling into him letting arm wrap around your shoulder “I want them to be there because they're my parents, but I also know they wouldn’t approve” you exclaim wrapping your arms around his middle “It’s gonna be okay, it’s still a solstice away” he hushes you, pulling you what seems to be impossibly closer. He comforts you into a soft slumber drawing patterns across your waist, He looks down at your face with awe. He felt as if he saw you the first day he

met you once again, Although you had changed over the years, your striking features still remnant of your teen days, your eyes still held that warmth they did when looking at him. His heartbeat picks up like the wind as it howls against the windows and doors, a cold chill settling in his bones only to be warmed again by your loving grasp, he would do anything for you. 

As the summit season ends, experienced travelers buy more supplies to save whoever remains in the cold barren mountains. Still, the only thing left on both of your minds at the end of the day is each other tangled in a warm embrace after a cold day of clanging metal. You and Krall begin planning the food and wine for the wedding, the wedding garments you’d be wearing, and the overall dress code. 

You and Krall are walking to the shipment bay to pick up your iron order. You gasp when you see the hired help “I didn’t expect to see most of the clan here” he chuckles “Who else to do most of the work than my friends” he says grabbing your hand and continuing the walk into the yard, you and Krall help the other six orcs load the rest of the crates of iron onto the back of the wagon. Krall picks you up loading you up onto the wagon seat, sliding in on the other side “Let’s get back to work shall we?” he asks you nod, Krall takes the reins commanding the four shire horses to trot up “I love you” you hum placing your hand on his thigh looking at his side profile a slow trickle of love pours into your heart like the sweetest wine, you would never regret loving him orc or not. 

The ride back to the shop was shorter than the walk over, you and Krall unloaded the ore into the backing shed along with the six other orcs “Privy, the prince of Coris would pay a nice price for new weapons” one of the orcs chuckles looking at the iron “Oi get back to work!” Gimrok the other orc calls to the first “Fine, fine would fetch’a a whole bunch’a money sweets” he snickers pinching your cheek in a flirtatious way “All right, back off Mirzuk” Krall says giving him a smirk and punching his shoulder playfully, you roll your eyes at the two of them “though that would be a good idea we could then purchase that large plot and host a tavern” you sigh leaning against the wagon Krall hums loading the last crate into the shed. “Why don’t we get these guys some hot soup and tea then send ‘em off?” Krall holds his hand out for you to take,

accepting his invitation he helps you up onto the wagon “Oi you guys get in the back we figure your pay back at the estate!” Krall shouts chuckling as the three younger orcs scramble onto the back of the wagon quickly “Better hold on or we might push’a off to take your pay” Mirzuk teases along with the other two older orcs. “Now, Mirzuk we play fairly” Krall scolds making you chuckle at the six of them. You watch the oranges, yellows, purples, and reds pass as the horses speed up into a canter, the cold wind biting the apple of your cheeks and making you pull your scarf up, “Whoo!” you hear one of the teen orcs shout as he looks behind the cart “Calm down Oguuzall” the oldest of the six and the father to Oguuzall, Diirm scolds pulling the orc back down by the flannel. 

You and your group arrive back at the estate. Tea and soup are distributed between all eight of you, sitting and talking for just a moment more before the six of them leave. As you and Krall settle the payment a knock is heard at the door, you and Krall share a look before a maid opens the door “Wait a moment Madame” Clarice says “She requests a meeting with you both masters, shall I allow her in?” “Lead her to the drawing room we shall be there shortly” Krall

orders closing the office doors so the payment can be finalized “Now where were we?” he clears his throat.

Not a moment to spare you and Krall make your way to the drawing room, Clarice opens the door for you both, and you look in and freeze seemingly made of stone from the surprise.

Part two will be out shortly I have been speed writing and trying a new writing style so please bear with me, I hope you enjoyed this chapter for Krall’s birthday special, after the next chapter I will be re-writing the 2nd chapter of white spots in a black abyss, as well as putting out those two other fics, I have been a little slow and stressed as of late so I might not be at my tip-top shape. I also will be taking a few weeks off of writing to catch up on chapters and fics I need to finish, happy one-year anniversary Krall!

“Whores From Hell!”

“You whores from hell!” raged the furious Ahmed. “How dare you interfere with God’s work? You will suffer a million torments in the fires of Jahannam for this impudence!” Maryam, leading the procession of securely tied bearded male captives, a captured knife in each hand, yawned impatiently. “Will you shut up?” she directed at the ranting Ahmed, firmly held by his shoulders by the tall and elegant Fazia, who kept her dark eyes staring straight ahead, as she strode forward ignoring the crazy Islamist, forcing him to trot to keep up with her. “Just because we interrupted your little beheading party doesn’t mean we broke any of the commandments of Allah - I think that is more your territory.” The scowling Yusuf, similarly bound, nonetheless found himself agreeing with his female captor. “Yes shut up, Ahmed.” he muttered bitterly. “It’s your fault we got captured by these Muslimahs. I told you to stop smoking that weed!”

Maryam laughed at that. “I wondered why he seemed half asleep when I handgagged him!” she exclaimed. She looked over her shoulder at Fazia and Aleena. “Let’s pick up the pace, ladies,” she urged, “I want to get these two yahoos safely stowed in a jail cell before sundown. And Fazia, if your Mad Mullah doesn’t pipe down, feel free to gag him!” Aleena smiled. “Insha’Allah…”she intoned. Even Yusuf miserably nodded.

My interpretation of the story behind this art by Ahmedhse. This is typical of his depiction of strong Muslim women. I suspect an execution is on the cards for these two guys, but perhaps not…. Ahmedhse can be found on Deviant Art.

Is Trump Trolling the Democrats and RINOS?

13 November 2024 by Larry C. Johnson 

I know there is a lot of angst and pearl-clutching in response to Trump’s nominations of so many ardent Zionist-supporters to his Administration. Yet, not a single one of the nominees has a blood relationship with Israel. Not one holds or has held Israeli citizenship. So, on that count, Trump is doing better compared to Biden. I know, small consolation. Look on the bright side — Marco Rubio will never be called, “Netanyahu’s lawyer,” a title currently held by Antony Blinken.

Got to admit it. Fetterman nailed it.

The Trump nominations remind me of Sergio Leone’s last spaghetti western, i.e. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Time for some mood music from Mr. Morricone, RIP.

Since none of the nominees are on the job, we will have to wait-and-see who merits being labeled, Good, Bad or Ugly. I want to reiterate a point I made yesterday — there is a lot that can happen in Ukraine and the Middle East before January 20th. The biggest surprise may come from Iran. Right now, the ardent Zionists are convinced that they eliminated Iran’s air defenses on October 26 and only have to stroll into Iran to destroy the leadership and their potential nuclear sites. Don’t believe me? Here is an email I received today from one of these Zionist lunatics. The person, who is a US citizen, is convinced that this is what Israel will do (at least according to his feverish mind):

This is why they will have to kill all the mullahs like in Lebanon and most of the IRGC leadership and many of the local leaders of the security services so the people can revolt safely. Israel cannot rest and be secure until these people are all dead and the nuke facilities are totally destroyed. It is that simple

Yep. Real simple when you are sitting in a recliner in a NYC condo sucking on a martini. But in the real world, Israel can’t advance five kilometers inside Lebanon after almost two months of trying and that same Israel can’t stop the Hezbollah rockets and that same Israel has failed to pacify Gaza after 14 months of fighting, notwithstanding a horrific genocidal campaign. Nonsense!! My point in sharing this with you, my readers (especially those overseas), is to help you understand how goddamn crazy and delusional these people are. They are beyond the reach of reason.

5 major atrocities in US military history

A US soldier allegedly left his base in Afghanistan Sunday and went door-to-door shooting Afghan civilians, killing 16 and leaving both Afghanistan and America reeling. While the incident has sparked outrage at home and abroad, this is hardly the first time that members of the US armed forces have been accused of committing atrocities on the ground.

Here, we look back at five other shocking incidents that left their mark on America's military history. What incidents are we missing? Leave your comments below.

1. No Gun Ri, Korea

In 1950, the United States intervened in the Korean War in defense of the South, but its forces were undertrained and underprepared, according to the BBC. The North's attacks created a severe refugee crisis, and as thousands of Koreans clogged the battlefield as they fled war-torn areas, the US forces panicked.

On the same day that the US Army delivered a stop refugee order in July 1950, around 400 South Korean civilians were killed in the town of No Gun Ri by US forces from the 7th Cavalry Regiment. The soldiers argued they thought the refugees could include disguised North Korean soldiers.

Many refugees were shot while on or under a stone bridge that ran through the town; others were attacked with bombs and machine-gun fire from US planes, the BBC reported. The ordeal lasted for three days, according to local survivors and members of the Cavalry.

"There was a lieutenant screaming like a madman, fire on everything, kill 'em all," veteran Joe Jackman recalled, according to the BBC. "I didn't know if they were soldiers or what. Kids, there was kids out there, it didn't matter what it was, 8 to 80, blind, crippled or crazy, they shot 'em all."

The Associated Press broke the news of the massacre in September 1999. It has come to be known as one of the largest single killings of civilians by American forces in the 20th century.

2. My Lai, Vietnam

On March 16, 1968, the Charlie Company, 11th Brigade entered the village of My Lai, in an area of Vietnam where many members of the American brigade had been maimed or killed by Viet Cong forces, PBS reported. The troops ended up killing over 300 civilians under orders from their Lieutenant, William Calley, who told his men to enter the village firing, though there had been no report of opposing fire, PBS reported.

According to eyewitness reports, several old men were bayoneted, praying women and children were shot in the back of the head, and at least one girl was raped and then killed.

The story did not reach the American public until journalist Seymour Hersh published a story detailing his conversations with a Vietnam veteran, Ron Ridenhour, in November 1969. The massacre raised significant questions about the conduct of American soldiers and their leaders in the field.

3. Abu Ghraib, Iraq

In 2004, the world was shocked when photos were released of American soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, a sprawling prison west of Baghdad which was notorious for its frequent torturing sessions and executions under Saddam Hussein, the New York Times reported.

The photos, which showed Iraqi detainees being beaten, abused and sexually assaulted, fueled Arab and Muslim rage against the United States, and were used as a powerful tool to recruit insurgents in Iraq and elsewhere, according to the Times.

Nine US soldiers were found guilty in the abuse case, which also fuelled multiple other military and Congressional investigations. Former President Bush proposed to destroy the complex after the crimes were uncovered, but an American military judge ordered that it be preserved as a crime scene, the Times reported. In March 2006, the military announced that it would clear out all remaining prisoners from Abu Ghraib.

In February 2009, the prison was reopened under a new name, Baghdad’s Central Prison, and promises of humanitarian conduct.

4. Haditha, Iraq

On November 19, 2005, a group of US marines killed 24 unarmed men, women and children in the city of Haditha in Western Iraq. Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich admitted to telling his men to “shoot first and ask questions later," and the massacre is believed to have been an act of revenge for an attack on an American convoy that killed a marine, according to the New York Times.

Sgt. Wuterich and eight of his marines were charged in connection with the incident on December 21, 2006, but six had their charges dropped and one was found not guilty. Sgt. Wuterich was also eventually found not guilty of voluntary manslaughter, CBS News reported.

Upon his release, Wuterich addressed the family members of the Iraqi victims.

"I wish to assure you that on that day, it was never my intention to harm you or your families. I know that you are the real victims of Nov. 19, 2005," he said, according to CBS.

More from GlobalPost: Frank Wuterich, Marine tried in Haditha case, gets demotion and pay cut, but no jail time

Residents of Haditha were angered by the fact that not one of the eight Marines was convicted.  

"I was expecting that the American judiciary would sentence this person to life in prison and that he would appear and confess in front of the whole world that he committed this crime, so that America could show itself as democratic and fair," a survivor of the killings, Awis Fahmi Hussein, told CBS.

The incident was compared by many in the media to My Lai.

5. Azizabad airstrike, Afghanistan

On August 22, 2008, Afghan civilians who had gathered in a small village for the memorial ceremony of a militia leader were killed by airstrike by US and Afghan soldiers, who were on an operation in the area to pursue Taliban commander Mullah Siddiq, according to the New York Times.

The airstrike's estimated casualties varied widely between 30 and 90, according to conflicting accounts from American troops, aid workers, local villagers, and a report made by the Afghanistan government.

The Pentagon described the attack as "a legitimate strike against the Taliban" and questioned the casualty estimates given by the government of Afghanistan and reported by the media. The US military originally denied that any civilian casualties had occurred, but later acknowledged after the release of a cell phone video that some civilians may have been killed, and announced it would investigate the incident, the Associated Press reported.

In 2009, Mohammad Nader, a villager from Azizabad, was sentenced to death for giving incorrect information to soldiers about Siddiq's location, the Daily Telegraph reported.

"You, Mohammad Nader, are sentenced to capital punishment for spying for foreign forces and giving wrong information that caused the death of civilians," said judge Qazi Mukaram, according to the Telegraph.

"The US still needs to change its policies and practices on airstrikes to end the string of attacks that have caused so much loss of civilian life," said Brian Adams, head of Human Rights' Watch's Asia division, which launched its own inquiry into the attacks. "Otherwise the planned arrival of 20-30,000 more troops in Afghanistan may lead to greater, not fewer, civilian deaths."

You know what drives me crazy??

The stigma that religious men have to deal with. Some random ass Aunty just lectured me and asked me if I didn't open the door for her because my brother doesn't ALLOW me to open it.

I have my own fucking brain thank you very much and if my brother was to ask me not to do something I wouldn't do it out of respect and love. Not fear. Not because I'm oppressed. Not because I don't have the brain to think for myself. He raised me to have a brain of my own. Don't project on me 🙄

People need to stop assuming that just because someone "looks like a mullah" that they're oppressive pieces of shit. Islam makes you a better person and if it doesn't you need to re-evaluate your source of knowledge.

Is This Crazy Or What?

The One And Same Taliban Has Endorsed

Donald Trump For President. These Are The

Same People Who On 9/11 Brought Dowm

The Twin Towers And Donald Trump Invited

To Camp David On 9/11. They Are Hoping

Trump Will Withdraw U.S.Troops From The Area.

From The Article

Donald Trump's reelection bid received a vote of support Friday from an entity most in his party would reject: the Taliban.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told CBS News in a phone interview, "We hope he will win the election and wind up U.S. military presence in Afghanistan." The militant group expressed some concern about Mr. Trump's bout with the coronavirus. "When we heard about Trump being COVID-19 positive, we got worried for his health, but seems he is getting better," another Taliban senior leader told CBS News.

Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said Saturday that they "reject" the Taliban support. "The Taliban should know that the president will always protect American interests by any means necessary," Murtaugh said.

There are now fewer than 5,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and national security adviser Robert O'Brien has said that number would drop to 2,500 by early next year.

The Trump administration signed a historic pact with the Taliban in February in which the U.S. and its allies set a timetable for U.S. troops to withdraw by the spring of 2021. The pact requires the Taliban to break from al Qaeda and negotiate a power-sharing deal with Afghan government rivals.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reiterated last month, after meeting with Taliban co-founder and political deputy Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in Doha, that the U.S. was set for a full withdrawal from Afghanistan by April or May of 2021.

"We should have the small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas," he tweeted.

That timeline is at odds with the advice of U.S. military commanders, who do not believe it is safe to reduce troop levels below 4,500 unless the Taliban breaks with al Qaeda and reduces the level of violence. It is also unclear how it will affect talks peace between the Afghan government and Taliban negotiators in Qatar.

Civilians continue to be caught up in ongoing violence in Afghanistan, many in Taliban attacks. From January 1 to June 30 this year, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) documented 2,176 civilian injuries and 1,282 civilian deaths due to the conflict.

The completely unnecessary news analysis

“RISK IT ALL” — DONALD'S NEW BOARD GAME

& FLY TO MEXICO FOR CHEAP DRUGS

Hey game lovers, do we have good news for you. Pompeo Brothers Inc. has just unveiled it's latest skill game of foreign relations. Now you can while away those sleepless nights, just like the president of the United States, by cooking up fun ways to mess up the balance of power. You can threaten to blow North Korea to kingdom come and then sit on your hands as Kim Jung Un threatens the United States with thermonuclear weapons. From the comfort of your kingsize bed and silk jammies, you can mess with our allies by taking a dump on the Paris Climate Accords and then having a good laugh with your buddies in the fossil fuel industries. You can also screw with those stupid Europeans by kissing up to Russia. They're already frightened stiff of Putin and you can twist their arms into beefing up their NATO payments by blowing into Vladimir's ear. But the real fun is in the Middle East, where you will drive everyone nuts by sidling up to Turkey's demands to rub out Kurds, while allowing Russia to kiss up to Syria. Then, by playing your cards right, you can actually do the impossible: Bring Iraq and Iran together by assassinating the mullah's top general. Pundits will say you're unfit and could blow up the whole region while putting American lives at risk. Is this fun, or what?

LIFE ELEVATED — OR SOMETHING

“Come on vacation. Leave on probation.” That's catchy, isn't it. The Utah Travel Council doesn't like it as much as “Life Elevated” — the slogan that Wilson and the Smart Bomb Band say promotes marijuana. Well, that's up for debate, but as far as drinking goes, the National Restaurant Association came up with “Come on vacation. Leave on probation,” when Utah legislators lowered the blood-alcohol limit for drunken driving from .08 to .05. That means the average woman would be legally shit-faced after one generous glass of wine. Folks in the hospitality industry — restaurants, bars and hotels, etc., worried the new booze law would further blight Utah's reputation as a teetotaling theocracy. Not surprisingly, the white, male, Mormon lawmakers didn't seem to care. Alcohol is the root of all evil and legislators want to keep their Temple Recommends in good standing. But wait, hold the presses, a recent report on alcohol-related traffic stops in the Beehive State shows that no more arrests were made under the new law. Could it be that alcohol-related accidents are usually caused by drivers whose blood-alcohol level is well above the .08 limit, revealing the new law to be meaningless? Hold on to that thought and pass the Jack Daniels.

DOWN AND OUT IN THE CITY OF SALT

If you are homeless and get arrested and put in jail, are you still homeless? Not according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that tracks this stuff. Some home. Last weekend, 17 people were arrested during a protest at Salt Lake City Hall regarding the lack of shelter space and the treatment of homeless campers. The action was organized by folks who have homes but don't like the way police regularly break up homeless camps — most visibly near the downtown library, which happens to be spitting distance (pardon the colloquialism) from Police HQ. Recently, the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that camping is not illegal if there are no other options. But in Salt Lake County, the health department can deem an area as a public health hazard — the green light for cops to take action. Among the problems campers face is a lack of toilet facilities and garbage disposal. Why don't the city and country create a campground for homeless campers that would provide those amenities? Who knows. But the problem isn't going away. You can't afford housing at $7.35 an hour and barely at $15. Since the era of Ronald Reagan, this country— the richest in the world — has been on a trajectory that has led to more than 500,000 homeless people. And don't worry, those protesters didn't stay long in jail — there's no room there, either.

FLY TO MEXICO FOR CHEAP DRUGS

If you need expensive prescription medication but can't afford it, perk up your ears. PEHP, the insurance provider that covers 160,000 Utah public employees, will fly you to Tijuana where you can get your (legal) drugs for a fraction — 40 to 60 percent less — of what you pay here. (We could never make this up in a million years.) As reported by Salt Lake Tribune ace and Pulitzer Prize winner Erin Alberty, PEHP is saving money hand-over-fist with this south-of-the-border maneuver. That's right, they will fly their clients to San Diego, drive them to the district in Tijuana known for it's healthcare, bring them back stateside and fly them home  by suppertime — and PEHP still saves bundles of cash. Good old American know how. WTF. If you don't belong to PEHP, don't worry, Congress is working on this and will have a solution by the time hell freezes over. Right. This country isn't corrupt, it's just that big corporations have bought off our lawmakers. Nonetheless, if you can't get a state job, you can always drive to Mexico yourself, where Americans regularly get dental care, all kinds of medical procedures and medications. It's done so often that it has a name: “Medical Tourism.” And fortunately for us, Mexico isn't building a wall.

Post Script — And that' it for another sterling week here at Smart Bomb, where the staff keeps track of President Trump's golf days so you don't have to. It's been a harrowing few days, what with the impending war with Iran, new evidence that Trump is up to his chin in the Ukrainegate (not that Republicans give a you-know-what), and the New England Patriots getting knocked out of the playoffs. (Don't you just love it when Tom Brady gets bummed out.) Closer to home, Erin Mendenhall was sworn in as mayor of Salt Lake City and faces a handful of crises right off the bat. Why would anyone want to be mayor? Who knows, but Mendenhall will be up to her ankles in alligators over homelessness, the Inland Port, affordable housing and pot holes — don't forget the potholes. Mendenhall's administration likely will be an improvement over that of Jackie Biskupski, but that's a pretty low bar. And Mendenhall actually likes people, which is something of a plus in public service. Soon the new mayor, along with the rest of us, will have to gird her loins (can we say that?) because our illustrious lawmakers will convene to make Utah an even better place with legislation banning all kinds of bad stuff, including immorality. Hold on. Wilson insists the Legislature already banned immorality. OK, sure, but you know they'll do it again — they do it every year. Until then, let's  put our efforts into Life Elevated.

All right Wilson, get the band to send us out with something apropos: Panama Red, Panama Red / He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head / Panama Red, Panama Red... My woman said, "Hey Wilson / You're actin' crazy like a clown" / Nobody feels like working / Panama Red is back in town / Panama Red, Panama Red...

The wishing stone movie 2009

Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock made its world premiere screening on Augat the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California. Macy, Leslie Mann, James Spader, Jimmy Bennett and Kat Dennings. Is that what they teach there? When you are telling the story of a woman being stoned to death, you may not be able to use everything you learned in class.Shorts (also known as Shorts: The Adventures of the Wishing Rock and released internationally as The Wishing Rock) is a 2009 American fantasy comedy film written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Nowrasteh, born in Colorado, attended the USC Film School. That the pitiful death of Soraya is followed by a false Hollywood upbeat ending involving tape recordings and silliness about a car that won’t start is simply shameful. “The Stoning of Soraya M.” has such a powerful stoning sequence that I recommend it if only for its brutal ideological message. At heaven’s gate you cannot say, “I always followed the herd.” There cannot be a reward for following it blindly, because only a thoughtful choice has meaning. If it condones a death penalty that is visited unequally on members of a specific gender, race or class, it is immoral. The message is that if a religion requires practices that seem evil to its members, they should resign from that religion. The enforcers have power, position and wealth to gain and dare their enemies to go against what they say is God’s will. Those with objections fear crushing reprisal. The measures they introduced are being challenged today in the streets of Iran, and similar extremism is the practice in our dear friend Saudi Arabia. Fundamentalists were in power then and enforced their strictures. The stoning took place in 1986, after the Islamic Revolution. She did nothing that was not innocent and kind. She accepts this as her fate, as indeed it is. We see blow after blow, as blood pours from her face and body. Village boys collect stones of a good throwing weight in a wheelbarrow. Soraya ( Mozhan Marno) is buried in a hole up to the waist. The stoning sequence itself is one of the most unbearable experiences I have had at the movies. The mayor knows it is wrong and doubts Allah desires it but lacks the courage to do much more than mutter. The village mullah goes along because Ali threatens to blackmail him about an old prison sentence. His intended child bride has not been asked if she wants to marry him the marriage has been arranged. The phrase crazy woman can fall easily from the tongue, and it’s worth remembering that in Victorian England a wife could be locked in an asylum for life on only her husband’s signature (see the great novel The Quincunx).Īli the husband is an immoral monster. She’s a “crazy woman,” says the husband, Ali ( Navid Negahban). She knows all the players and all the motives and publicly calls them on it, to no avail. She’s played by Shohreh Aghdashloo, the Oscar nominee from “ House of Sand and Fog” (2003). How does a lynch mob form? Instead, we’re given a village populated primarily by overacted villains and moral cowards.Īgainst them is one strong voice: the widow Zahra, Soraya’s aunt. But it would be helpful to have it told in a way that shows how almost the entire population of a village allows it to happen, even though most of them know of the woman’s innocence and her husband’s vile motives. You might argue that the stoning of a woman to death is not a subtle subject. A woman really was stoned to death on trumped-up adultery charges, brought for the convenience of her husband, who desired to marry a young girl.Ĭyrus Nowrasteh’s “The Stoning of Soraya M.” does not dramatize this story in a subtle way. It is rare, and Iran denies it, but the French journalist Freidoune Sahebjam’s best-selling The Stoning of Soraya M. The practice survives in backward rural areas, and the law turns a blind eye. But women are still stoned to death in some Islamic countries, including Iran, where “The Stoning of Soraya M.” is set. To be sure, no witches have been burned at the stake in many long years, and few ever were. Is this in dispute? Are there any theologians who support such actions? Of all the most severe punishments of both religions, this is the one most skewed against women, and the one most convenient for men. The Islamic practice of stoning women and the Christian practice of burning them as witches are both born not from religious reasons but of a male desire to subjugate women and define them in terms of sexuality.

Hello my bloglings this is the first time writing from my phone and I dont know how to make a title. I watched the first 3 episodes of doompatrol season 3 and so far it has had some of the highest highs and lowest lows. First off I just have to say that the brotherhood of evil (or the brotherhood of very evil) finally being the villains is just fantastic, I am very much looking forward to the brain and monseuir mullah, ever since seeing him on the show batman brave and the bold, the brain has been one of my favorite supervillians, I love how he has literally no way of fighting or moving around at all, hes just a box with a brain in it.

I am pretty disappointed with the first episode though, the final few episodes of doom patrol season 1 was some of the best. And the first episode of season 3 tries to wrap up the plot of season 2 while also setting up season 3 and it just doesn't work. But I would say that episode 2 is probably my favorite episode of the entire series so far, its literally just the main characters going on vacation, that's the episode. And with that ending where the doom patrol gets killed is pretty good too. Also Garguax is just an awesome character and it would be too bad if he remained dead. As for the character arcs I am in love with Cliffs seeming arc this season of him wanting to be a better father, and admiting he needs help sometimes. Crazy Jane I am a bit more hesitant on it seems she has a very similar arc in season 2 just this time everyone is supporting her instead of hating her, I do like how after season 2 she openly shows a bit more how much she cares about the other members of the doom patrol.

I am very much looking forward to season 3, it is very good so far!

Biden Talks Crazy on Taliban

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com),j Aug. 19, 2021.--Telling ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that the Taliban is going through an “existential crisis,” 78-year-old President Joe Biden  can only thank his lucky stars that fake journalists from liberal networks help cover for his cognitive deficits.  No one in their right mind can make sense of Biden’s non sequiturs, other than fake journalists designed to help Biden get through his atrocious gaffes.  Led by bloodthirsty 53-year-old Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban is already rounding up Afghan citizens by the droves, herding them into camps before they’re tried, tortured and executed for treason for living under the U.S.-backed puppet regime of 72-year-old former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.  Ghani fled the country Aug. 16, reportedly with $169 million for exile in Doha, Qatar that welcomed him with open arms. Ghani knew he’d be beheaded in the public square under Taliban rule.

Stephanopoulos asked Biden whether the Taliban changed, now more moderate than it once was under the late Mullah Mohammed Omar.  “No,” Biden said.  “Think they’re going through sort of an existential crisis about, do they want to be recognized by the international community, as being a legitimate government.  I’m not sure they do,” Biden told Stephanopoulos.  Biden thinks when the Taliban controlled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, they wanted recognition by the international community.  Serving as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for many years, Biden considers himself a foreign policy expert.  If he knows anything about the Taliban, they personify radical Islam, where anything goes in terms of enslaving populations to live under Sharia law, spending time desecrating ancient Buddhist temples or other shrines to ancient religions, preserving only Sunni Islam.

Biden stressed to Stephanopoulos that now that they’ve seized control of Afghanistan without a fight, they’re seeking legitimacy.  “But they also care about whether they have food to eat, whether they have an income . . . that they can make any money and run an economy.  They care about whether or not they can hold together the society that the in fact say they care so much about,” Biden said, forgetting that the Taliban did just fine taking cash from radical Islam, including Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabi donors or getting their cut of the lucrative opium trade. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid clarified the Taliban’s position about protecting the rights of women and girls.  “We are going to allow women to work and study within our framework,” Zabihullah said.  “Women are going to be very active within our society,” reaffirming to Biden and everyone else that women will have no rights.

Biden tells Stephanopoulos that the Taliban wants recognition from the international community, the same as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS] wanted recognition.  Biden knows the atrocities and horrors committed by ISIS with daily beheadings, torture, rape and other atrocities.  Unlike ISIS that seized 30% of land from Iraq and Syria, the Taliban now have an entire country in which to carry out their sick interpretation of radical Islam, similar in may ways to the nonsense espoused by the late al-Qaeda founder-and-leader Osama bin Laden.  Bid Laden, and the late Mullah Mohammed Omar, had an uncanny way to recruit disenfranchised souls from around the Muslim world and beyond to join a sick cult-like experiment in religious dystopia, where radical Islam was given free reign over society.  Biden’s dead wrong that the Taliban seeks approval from the U.N.

Spending the last 20 years in exile, the Taliban comes back with a vengeance, not willing to make any concessions to the West or anyone else.  When Mullah Omar’s group took out their rage on Afghanistan’s rich Buddhist history, the Taliban showed utter contempt for Asian countries that practice Buddhism.  Destroying ancient Buddhist temples shows the Taliban’s contempt for history or art that doesn’t conform to their radical version of Islam.  Biden told Stephanopoulos that he was surprised by the speed with which they took over Afghanistan.  If Joe read his daily briefings, he’d admit that the Taliban had long taken over the country and was only hours-or-days away from seizing Kabul.  Biden has ignored press reports already talking about Taliban atrocities, including rounding up Afghan citizens, to charge them with treason, imprison them, and torture or kill them in the public square.  Public beheadings and mutilations are a regular feature to Taliban society.

Stephanopoulos pracitically stood on his head to make Biden look coherent in his highly scripted interview.  Biden said enough nonsense to show the world that he’s clueless what really goes on in Afghanistan.  Concentration camps are already filling up for the spectacle that follows when the Taliban begins public beheadings, torture and amputations, all to beat ordinary Afghan citizens into submission.  Russia and China have no problem with the Taliban human rights abuses, continuing to operate embassies and provide the fledging government financial aid.  “I would like to assure the international community, including the U.S., that nobody will be harmed in Afghanistan,” said Mujahid.  “We don’t have any grudges,” referring to the 20 long years that they battled the U.S. military.  No, the Taliban don’t have grudges against the U.S. now that they’ve gotten Afghanistan back.  Grudges go to the Afghan citizens facing a life of hell under radical Islam rule.
