Challenge: Who will create the Aqsa Parvez Shelter for battered Muslim women? [Michelle Malkin]

Phyllis Chesler at PJM challenges the multiculti cult and feminists to create battered Muslim women shelters to memorialize the murder of teenager Aqsa Parvez:

In The Death of Feminism: What’s Next in the Struggle for Women’s Freedom, I recount examples of Muslim families both in the West and in the Islamic East who trick their daughters into returning home so that they can kill them.
In Aqsa’s case, within weeks, she ran away from home a second time.
At this point, she really might have been saved—but only if the western shelter had understood that Aqsa needed the equivalent of a federal witness protection program to protect her from her family for the rest of her life. Nothing less would do since her father and brother would have murderously stalked her for the rest of her life. And, Aqsa would also have needed a warm and understanding alternative family to adopt her. Yes—adopt her. Life without a protective family is not a life most Muslim immigrants would deem worth living.
Is Canada prepared to invest in such programs? Are America or Europe?
While we may or may not be able to abolish honor killings in Muslim lands, we are absolutely responsible for the proliferation of Islamic gender Apartheid—or its abolition—in the West…
…Canadians might consider creating an Aqsa Parvez Shelter for Muslim women who are being battered or threatened with honor killing.
I would go further. It is time for Western democracies to start screening potential immigrants in their home countries as to their views about women. If we did so, at the very least, we might have an opportunity to educate would-be immigrants in the ways of the West long before they actually take up residence amongst us.

Hear, hear.

Now, are there any presidential candidates out there who will dare to speak these truths?

CAIR spins here.

A campaign called “A million signatures for equality” sounds benign enough, but “carrying out attacks at the headquarters of the justice ministry in Sanandaj and for being responsible for a car bomb in the city’s Azadi Square” sure doesn’t.

But then again, this is the Iranian gov. speaking, so who knows what’s really going on?

In any case, this is Islam’s stance vis-a-vis a ‘women’s rights’ group - I’m interested in the stance of women’s rights groups, in Western nations, in regard to Islam.

The first poster on that thread voices my guess: “crickets.”

I take it the “hate-crime” would be against Islam, rather than against any specific individual.

Of course, you or I might see bringing them up on “hate-crime” charges as a hate-crime against every individual needing protection against mad Islamic fathers.

Speaking of Canada, has the conservative turn in gov. actually made any appreciable difference in that country, to your knowledge?

I remember reading somewhere to the effect that Muslim's propensity toward polyandry denies large numbers of males access to potential mates.

Polygyny, actually - polyandry means multiple husbands for one wife.

Also, I imagine having all the women under hijabs, along with the mores promulgated by their religion, makes for some seriously twisted sexual repression.

If my religion commanded its women to wear bags over their heads in public, I'd probably spend my days in a rage, too . . .

Husbandry - that makes sense. I knew it was something like that - thanks.

Everybody's in a rage - the men, the women, the girls and boys - somethings got to be done to save these people from their "religion."

Their book has a saying that goes something like "the death of the self is the path to salvation," but they take it literally to mean the death of the physical body, rather than the death of the "ego," or false self.

Slay the infidel wherever you find him is taken to mean people who don't believe as they believe, rather than the 'devils' within - what Christians would call "bad thoughts" or egoism, etc.

If only they could wake up and realize they're doing the exact opposite of what their book actually says - realize it's an inner struggle, not an external one - then they, and everyone else on the planet, would be better off.

Not to mention the sigh of relief we can all have then.

IMO

Slay the infidel wherever you find him is taken to mean people who don't believe as they believe, rather than the 'devils' within - what Christians would call "bad thoughts" or egoism, etc.

You err on this point: Sura 9:5, in context, is about conducting warfare against unbelieving pagans. Muslim historians are in basic agreement that the context of this passage pertains to a pilgrimage that took place about a year after the conquest of Mecca. According to this "revelation," during the sacred months of the pilgrimage, any treaties with the pagans were to be honoured; after that, they could be warred upon.

In other words, in Sura 9, "slay the infidel" most certainly means, go out and kill non-Muslims.
