RoP: More than One Way to End a Female Life
---
You read about the Muslim female who gets blown up (by other Muslims, of course).
You might not read about the Muslim female sold into slavery at age 11 (by other Muslims, of course):
It's one thing to be a threat to the little girls in your backward, goat-herder village; it's another thing the threaten all the little girls in the world — with dynamite if not with slavery.

You might not read about the Muslim female sold into slavery at age 11 (by other Muslims, of course):
He's forty, she's eleven. And they are a couple — the Afghan man Mohammed F.* and the child Ghulam H.*. "We needed the money", Ghulam's parents said. Faiz claims he is going to send her to school. But the women of Damarda village in Afghanistan's Ghor province know better: "Our men don't want educated women." They predict that Ghulam will be married within a few weeks after her engagement in 2006, so as to bear children for Faiz.It is true that there are other barbarian proto-cultures besides the Religion of Peace in which soulless parents sell their prepubescent daughters into slavery insolently cloaked as "marriage." Point conceded. But those other barbarians don't typically go around insisting that it is in fact Westerners who are the "infidels" and who must, when confronted with primitivism, either submit to it or die.
It's one thing to be a threat to the little girls in your backward, goat-herder village; it's another thing the threaten all the little girls in the world — with dynamite if not with slavery.
