'Moral Responsibility' of Rape Victims - Iran? Gaza? Somalia? Nope - Well shockingly its Britain - Is this simply a paving the way for Shira law?

The "moral responsibility" of rape victims should be a topic up for discussion, with the debate over sex offences dominated by a rhetoric of weak, vulnerable, fallen women, a British barrister has said.

Yes you heard it right, Barbara Hewson, a an out of touch so called human rights barrister at Hardwicke Chambers, told a debate at LSE, entitled "Is Rape Different?" that the age-old debates over the sex trade and sex offences used Christian language - that there are "vulnerable women in danger" that "freedom was dangerous" and that women are "inherently fragile and vulnerable".

Hewson, who has previously called for the age of consent to be lowered to 13, said: “The law does not attribute any responsibility now to the victim of rape whereas traditionally we know the judge would say when they came to sentence ‘well she was contributorally negligent’ or something like that.”

Anyone getting warm as to where this is obviously leading?

"It seems to me" she went on "simply factually, we all know if you’re drunk you are more likely to have accidents. So if you fall off a bar stool and hit your head and have a serious brain injury, because you’re drunk, then people are gong to say, 'Well you chose to be drunk'.

Come on everyone you must have guessed by now?

“So there does seem to me something a little sanitised about the idea that we cannot even have a discussion about the moral responsibility, whatever people may want to say about the legal responsibility" this idiotic liberal suggested.

She suggests that it’s morally absolutely unambiguous, the victim is utterly innocent and the victimiser is utterly guilty and this is infinitesimal. Yes as unbelievable as it sounds this overpaid smug liberal is suggesting that perhaps the victim might not be innocent yet the perpetrator might not be guilty. Yes unbelievable but this is British justice 2013 style.

She continues:

"I don't think sexual abusive is widespread, I think that is highly debatable. One in three women are sexually abused, that figure would imply a crime of absolutely epic proportions which the system couldn't possibly deal with."

Well she needs to pull her liberal head from where the sun doesn't shine and look around at the thousands of rape cases in the UK and hundreds of rapes on underage children, uncovered recently up and down the Britain, rapes committed by gangs of Muslim males.

Which brings this story to its conclusion. Is this woman simply paving the way for Shira law in the UK? Does she know something we all don't? And is she just appeasing and simply laying the groundwork for a British justice system that in future won't have the 'hassle' of prosecuting these mass rapes and thus exposing a problem the liberal media and system doesn't want it's public to know about and thus roll out the red carpet for an Islamist Britain? 

Earlier this year, after a barrister was criticised for describing a 13-year-old child sex abuse victim as "predatory”,Hewson came out in defence of Robert Colover, saying it "takes two to tango". She then called for the lowering of the age of consent to 13. 

We will leave it to our readers to guess where it's custom to have child brides in the world?

Whenever in doubt blame Bush - But failed policy in Afghanistan is morerecent and in fact we were on track before 2009

Afghanistan Mistakes Cost Lives, US Envoy Admits - well he would would he? The mess began when Obama became president. Political correctness and the Wests refusal to accept the fanaticism of our enemy is our downfall. 

Lives would have been saved had strategic mistakes not happened early in the Afghan conflict, a senior US diplomat has conceded.

Speaking in London to a small group of journalists, Ambassador James Dobbins, the US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, explained that the international coalition lost focus in the early years of the conflict and should have done more to engage wavering members of the Taliban when the opportunity was there.

"I think we made some, several, mistakes back in 2002," he said.

"I think it was probably a mistake to delay a serious effort at reconciliation really until 2011. I think an effort to integrate those of the Taliban who were willing to come over, who were willing to operate within the new dispensation, who were willing to accept the constitution as it was evolving at the time, those initiatives would have been better if they were taken earlier."

"Secondly, I think it was a mistake not to have deployed a substantial peacekeeping force in the country beyond Kabul.

His comments come at a time when effectively, due to Obamas mismanaging of the war on terror as a whole, the west is surrendering in Afghanistan under the guise of a 'pull-out' or 'withdrawal!"

James Dobbins continued "Of course" he went on "the decision to move onto Iraq ultimately made it more difficult for us to turn our focus back to Afghanistan when the situation eroded there."

Iraq again. Whenever in doubt blame Iraq and Bush. 

Mr Dobbins was appointed to the role of Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan by US Secretary of State John Kerry in May this year, but he held a similar position in 2001 when he was tasked by the Bush administration with establishing a new Afghan government.

Asked whether the withdrawal could have happened some years earlier had the mistakes not been made, Mr Dobbins replied: "Possibly. I think it is possible we would never have had an insurgency.

How he could have made these remarks is beyond the pale. If course there would have been an insurgency because the enemy we're fighting isn't based on right and wrong or of any moral or justified conviction. Their whole world view is based on dominance and submission and they don't do compromising. 

Asked whether those mistakes cost lives, he replied: "As I said, I think the insurgency would either have been avoided or attenuated and clearly many lives - Afghan as well as allied - would have been saved."

So now it's now avoided or 'attenuated'- James Dobbins just cannot accept that the insurgency has been a hard fight for US, British and other coalition forces, but with hands untied and with a more aggressive attitude, more so in the last few years, the battle in Afghanistan could have been won.

He stupidly warned it was a mistake to compare the current negotiations to the failed security agreement with Iraq.

"The Iraqis didn't want us, didn't need us, and we promised to leave," he said.

Well the Iraqis certainly didn't want us, those who were doing well under saddam hussains dictatorship, but it's a different story for those that didn't see eye to eye with the regime. The Iraqi post invasion experience is the same as the present Afghan one. It's due to the wests obsession with political correctness and its refusal to accept that this present war is against a wicked and ruthless enemy and if we want victory we have to untie  the hands of our troops as well as the hands of those involved in the politics of the campagn and fight the philosophy of our enemy until it is destroyed, not put a watered down version of it back into power only for the dilution to ferment over time to again create the undiluted carbon copy version. 

This erosion of common sense has advanced under the Obama administrations take over of the White House and the blame for the failiours in Afghanisan lay at their door.

George Bush was thrown in the deep end. War suddenly and unexpectedly came on 9/11 and events unravelled fast. 

Considering this Mr Bush handled the situation well and whether the likes of James Dobbins like it or not Mr Bush was on the right track while Obama never got on that track.

The US weak in the eyes of our enemies - Cheney blasts Obama administration's Mideast policy

Former US vice president Dick Cheney criticized the Obama administration’s foreign policy in the Middle East Thursday at the Toronto Global Forum in Canada.
Cheney, speaking about energy and international security issues at the conference, said he had a “worrisome concern” regarding current threats of terrorism in the world.

“I used to believe that was a major threat. I still believe it is a major threat today,” Cheney said. “If anything it’s worse today than it was on 9/11. We’ve seen in the Middle East especially a set of developments in recent months… of the reassertion or reenergizing of al-Qaida.”

Cheney said the Obama administration has made efforts to convince the public that terrorism is no longer an issue.

“That’s simply not the case and the problem’s growing in terms of the number, the size, and the diversity of fundamental Islamist terrorists,” he said. “The geographical areas where they can find a home – a place for training, a place for sanctuary – is dramatically expanded and the problem of proliferation of nuclear weapons is probably greater than it’s ever been.”

Iran’s development of nuclear weapons would have a ripple effect on the region, according to Cheney.

“No question in my mind that if the Iranians have nuclear weapons, the others in the region will, for their own defensive capabilities, want nuclear weapons as well,” he said. “I think we’re headed down a road that will be very dangerous.”

Cheney said Obama has done little to instill confidence in its allies such as Israel when it comes to dealing with security issues in the Middle East.

“Our allies no longer believe us and trust us. Our adversaries no longer fear us, he said. “Shortly after Obama met with Netanyahu and Israel here not too longer ago…and drew a red line for the Iranians and said ‘you will not develop nuclear weapons,’ he cut the naval employment in half in the United States. Nobody believes [Obama] in terms of his comments and statements about the willingness of the US to stand by our friends and allies.”

The Toronto Global Forum, presented by the International Economic Forum of the Americas, took place Oct. 30-31. This year marked the seventh annual installment of the conference, which dealt with the theme of “globalization at a crossroads.” Over 70 speakers from Japan, France, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Russia, the US, and Canada joined to discuss economic issues facing the public and private sectors both locally and abroad.

Cheney’s keynote speech followed an address by Canadian minister of international trade Ed Fast, who called the tentative free trade agreement between Canada and the European Union unveiled Oct. 18, “the most comprehensive agreement the world has ever seen.”

Fast said the deal would become the world’s “21st century gold standard agreement” as it deals with issues concerning intellectual property, government procurement, regulatory cooperation, environment, labor, and sustainability.

Unlike this tentative arrangement, Canada’s free trade agreement with Israel, which has been in place since 1997, is far less inclusive, he noted.

Fast said the government is working with Israel to modernize the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement in order to expand its reach.

“Any time you remove tariff and non-tariff barriers, it improves trade flow so that’s certainly the case between Canada and Israel. The first agreement we struck between us was a first generation agreement,” Fast said. He compared the deal to the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the US, and Mexico, which came into effect three years earlier, calling the deals “not that ambitious.” “We’re now looking to take that to a new level and I’m looking forward to having those discussions in the weeks and months ahead,” Fast said.

THIS IS HILARIOUS - Fly Me To Ramallah On Delta Airlines -

Delta Airlines recently offered its Sky Miles members the opportunity to use their air miles to fly to "The Occupied Palestinian Territories". This is a little absurd, considering that there are not international airports in the area that the Palestinians call 'occupied' .

Ahmed called Linda at Delta Airlines to put this question to her in this hilarious video

 

 

ALRIGHT FOR THOSE OUT OF HARMS WAY - White House urges Jewish leadersnot to lobby for new Iran sanctions

White House national security advisor Susan Rice, her deputies Ben Rhodes and Tony Blinken and Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman met with the leaders of four major American Jewish organizations on Tuesday afternoon in an effort to dissuade them from lobbying the Senate towards passing harsh new sanctions against Iran, just as bilateral negotiations have resumed between the two nations.

The White House meeting witnessed forceful exchanges between the two sides on the merits of the sanctions package, sources tell The Jerusalem Post.

One White House official called the meeting "constructive" and said no animus was expressed.The afternoon meeting lasted over an hour and was characterized as a "serious exchange" over strategy during this delicate diplomatic window.

In recent days a number of leading Jewish groups, including AIPAC, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and the Jewish Federations of North America, have reiterated support for advancing through Congress new and enhanced Iran sanctions, although the Obama administration has made clear publicly that it would prefer Congress put off dealing with the legislation until after the next round of talks in mid-November.

Israel attacks Syrian missile base

Israel conducted air raids against a Syrian missile base near the port city of Latakia early on Thursday, according to an anonymous US administration official.

The official, speaking to CNN, said Israel targeted missiles and related equipment out of concern that they would be transferred to Hezbollah.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which collates reports from opposition activists,said there had been an explosion at a Syrian air defense base near Jableh, in the Mediterranean coastal province of Latakia. The Latakia area is an Alawite and regime stronghold.It is unclear why the US would leak such information, as it could increase the pressure on Syria to retaliate against Israel.

“We’re not commenting on these reports,” a spokesman for the Defense Ministry said.

Israel has repeatedly warned that it is prepared to use force to prevent advanced weapons, particularly from Iran, reaching Hezbollah through Syria. According to foreign reports, Israel reportedly carried out several air strikes on Syria earlier this year.

The Lebanese National News Agency said Israeli fighter jets and reconnaissance planes entered Lebanese airspace on Thursday morning and circled over Lebanon before returning to Israel.

Pan-Arab news outlet Al-Arabiya reported on Thursday evening that Israel attacked two targets in Syria: one target near Latakia and the other in Damascus.

Al-Arabiya quoted sources saying that the target of the alleged Israeli attacks were SA-8 surface-to-air missiles that were being delivered to Hezbollah.

Missiles fired from the Mediterranean Sea targeted the air defense base near Latakia, according to Syrian opposition sources quoted by the report.

WE WONDER IF THE BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS IN THE BBC ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE - ‘I love my job!’ Egypt’s official executioner on how much he enjoys his work... and started off by drowning cats as a child

A man claiming to be Egypt's official executioner has spoken of how much he loves his job in a sinister interview.

Hajj Abd Al-Nabi, who claims he has hanged some 800 people convicted of crimes ranging from adultery to murder, said: 'In all honesty, I love my work. I just love it!

'I never say "no" when they need me at work. This is my work and my livelihood.'

'People love me': A clip from the video which is purportedly an interview with Egypt's chief executioner

But Mr Al-Nabi's exuberant commentary on his macabre profession takes an even more chilling turn as he explains how strangulation had been his 'hobby' since he was a teenage boy.

'When I was young – about 13 or 14 years old – the dry Ismailiya Canal in Shubra Al-Kheima still had water in it,' he reminisces.

'My hobby was to catch a cat, to place a rope around its neck, to strangle it, and throw it into the water. I would get hold of any animal – even dogs.

'I would strangle these animals and throw them into the water – even dogs.'

 

Egypts executioner says he loves his job and has killed 800

He adds: 'Strangulation was my hobby. When I applied for the job and did well on the tests – proving that I could take the psychological pressure and so on – they said: "Congratulations. Now, grow a moustache".

'The truth is that my heart is dead, because executing comes from the heart, not the moustache. Only if you have a heart of stone can you be content in this line of work.'

The original provenance of the video, and its authenticity, is unclear. It was translated and reposted last week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which says it originally emerged online in early September.

Certainly, while elements of the interview seem satirical, other statements by Mr Al-Nabi appear to be deadly serious.

'I am the executioner of the Arab Republic of Egypt. I hold the rank of chief warrant officer in the police and the prison authority,' he says.

'I am Egypt's executioner, responsible for carrying out the death penalty.'

Dedicated: Hajj Abd Al-Nabi, who claims he has hanged some 800 people convicted of crimes ranging from adultery to murder, speaks in the video, which is translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute

Despite claiming responsibility for the deaths of hundreds, it appears he believes all were justified as 'carrying out the work of Allah'.

'When it comes to carrying out my job, I am tough. The murderer has done an abominable thing, and I cannot be soft with him,' says Mr Al-Nabi.

'If I were soft towards this criminal, I wouldn't be able to execute him, but when I'm at home, with my kids, I am as calm as can be.'

He goes on: 'I have placed [the noose] around some 800 heads – tough people, big people, young people... All the despicable crimes – killing, adultery, premeditated murder, and so on... I carry out all the death sentences.'
