Times Online:THE lives of young women might (might be?) be ruined by the Government’s failure to make forced marriages illegal, a senior police officer has warned.Hmm I wonder why? Could it be because they view women as property?Commander Steve Allen of the Metropolitan Police said that a decision by ministers last month to drop proposed legislation had been greeted by some ethnic minorities (let me help you Muslims) as a signal that forced marriage was acceptable….
…The head of a South Asian women’s charity said yesterday that girls were already suffering the consequences of the decision.
Between 2003 and 2005, 518 forced marriages were recorded in London, and in 2005 more than 140 in Bradford. Campaigners say those are merely the tip of the iceberg.
Most cases in Britain involve Muslim families, although the practice is not restricted to any particular religious or ethnic group. Most victims are aged between 16 and 20 and many suffer physical assault, death threats and false imprisonment, usually at the hands of close family members…
….More than 60 per cent of cases involve Muslim families, particularly Pakistani Muslim families, yet there is no faith foundation for it A forced marriage in Islam is no marriage at all. The community has a responsibility. I hear dialogue from victims but I don’t hear a great deal from Muslim men.â€

The Muslim Council of Britain gave a warning that such a law might become “another way to stigmatise our communitiesâ€.
Translation: stop shining a light on our brutish practices. The wider society will think ill of us if they knew more about what really goes on in our culture.

A 19-22 year old Brita jug would be an antique. That ain't the case for blondes.
And we would hang that Mohammed feller down here in Texas for messing with that 9 year-old gal Aisha. Hang him high, we would, hondo! Damn, I wish he had been in Texas when he started that Islam crap, and we woulda hung him then, and think of all the trouble that would have prevented.
