Why Don't You Die?
That was the question this young lady’s Father-In-Law asked her. Eleven year old Gulsoma is tougher than the culture that traded her as a four year old bride. Please read Kevin Sites’ article on young Gulsoma from Afghanistan and Kevin provides a link where support for this brave young lady can be sent. As you can see from the picture of her to the right she has suffered much.

That was the question this young lady’s Father-In-Law asked her. Eleven year old Gulsoma is tougher than the culture that traded her as a four year old bride. Please read Kevin Sites’ article on young Gulsoma from Afghanistan and Kevin provides a link where support for this brave young lady can be sent. As you can see from the picture of her to the right she has suffered much.Gulsoma via Kevin Sites at Yahoo’s hotzone blogs : "When I was three years old my father died, and after a year my mother married again, but her second husband didn't want me," says Gulsooma. "So my mother gave me away in a promise of marriage to our neighbor's oldest son, who was thirty."Disgusting! It’s very important that this poor young girl never falls back into the hands of her “family†where this abuse occurred. Too often I must post horrid stories from a culture where women are treated as property to be traded, worked and abused. Too often the abusers quote to teachings of Islam as where they determined that women are property subject to men. Once you view another human being as a piece of property, it’s a very short trip to the kind of treatment poor Gulsoma suffered. You can send support by clicking on Kevins link at the end of his article or by email here.
"They beat me with electric wires," she says, "mostly on the legs. My father-in-law told his other children to do it that way so the injuries would be hidden. He said to them, 'break her bones, but don't hit her on the face.'"

Like a thief who knows it's wrong and subconsciously wants to get caught, so the Father-in-law was providing punishment for his step-daughters future breeding of little suicide bombers. Such are the ways and means of a sick, depraved society based on Islam. Did we really expect any different?

Yes Rusty may have my head. I judged that this story was worth overlooking the author. It's about Gulsoma not him. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day as IM says.

Oh! No! I've been exposed by Oyster! Drat! Now I've got to dig through my wardrobe to find a different cloak!

Hailus, are you or are you not the same person who posts on Kevin Sites' Yahoo blog "Hotzone" as psychl0ps? You post your email here as psychl0ps@yahoo.com. And I know that when posting at Kevin's blog one's yahoo email username is automatically signed as the commenter. I ask because the comments there are pretty outrageous and belie your attitude here.
And I quote: "There was no need to capture Saddam. All we have to do is nuke'm in the bud! Wherever there is a threat building up just blow the crap out of it! No muss no fuss and a lot cheaper and with a lot less American causualities. Oh, how could I forget? It's the oil ......"
"Bush has declared war on the poor and the old! His inherent contempt for the underprivileged is apparent in his reverse Robin Hood policies of robbing from the poor to feed the rich! www.votetoimpeach.org"
"Thanks to John Wayne mentality, the U.S. has demonstrated to the world what a ridiculous notion democracy is! That it can be bought ( hi-jacked ) by maniacal tyrannical wannabes. Who wants it now!? Democracy for sale! Discount prices! Dirt Cheap! Are there no buyers out there? I suspect not! Now we can get back to the business of communism where the rich don't get richer and the poor poorer, where health care concerns are a thing of the past and where capitalism does not run rampant, destroying our planet in the process! Let's face it!"
If this is not you then you have hijacked someone else's email address claiming it as your own, which is just as bad.
Now - would you like to further discuss "Blog etiquette and respect"?

Maybe she should tell the authorities, she found a Bible and prayer beads in her father-in-laws draw, then they'll spring into action with an apostate death sentence?
How the laws of their culture works, is unfathomable.

Unfortunately her story is not that uncommon. Hers was an extreme case, but the abuse is too often condoned, ignored and sometimes sanctioned.

Oyster: Save your busy-body digging and meddling for the enemy. Those with murder on their minds... Oh! and thanks for re-iterating some of my views, it saved me the trouble of copying and pasting. Idle mind busy-bodies like you can be handy after all!

Don't mention it. I'm happy to help.

Anyone want to help get the word out to impeach the reckless, clandestine wannabe chump? My way or the highway!

There are methods that work better ( actually work )that require more thoughtful planning and intelligence. Too much at stake to permit continued obstinancy and grade school black and white perceptions. Turn the reins over to a more competent leader. Someone who will work night and day to figure a way out of this mess, even if he/she must miss a photo-op, speech, golf, 5-week vacation, or strumming guitar with the old folks!

I feel sorry for that young girl. I have read things like that happen every day in the Sudan.
By the way, can someone please get rid of Hailus. It appears he is insane.

Oyster, I believe you have uncovered a two-faced little hypocrit. Ha ha ha!

Yeah, that was worthy of a 20+ points: uncovering a 'wolf' in sheep's clothing, with a bonus for eviscerating him with his own posts.
Excellent.

And these are the people that liberals have chosen to stand with, against all that is decent and good.

Just when I was ready to leave this sorry web-site I get drawn back into the fray! The world is my oyster!
Whoever can track Hailus or psychl0ps through cyberspace gets a free pissed on copy of the Quaran! Come on! It will be lots of fun and won't be a waste of your time! Your friends will be amazed!

It seems that Halius wants what is right but many of his methods are wrong. He is more like Bush than he knows.
