“The misogyny that shapes every aspect of our civilization is the institutionalized form of male fear and hatred of what they have denied and therefore cannot know, cannot share: that wild country, the being of women.” --Ursula LaGuin

 

                                                                                     

Vigilantes kill 40 women in Iraq's south 

BAGHDAD - Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women this year in the southern Iraqi city of Basra because of how they dressed, their mutilated bodies found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings," the police chief said Sunday.

"The women of Basra are being horrifically murdered and then dumped in the garbage with notes saying they were killed for un-Islamic behavior..."

"In September, the headless bodies of a woman and her 6-year-old son were among those found..."

Last night, I followed this excerpt with the outraged viscera reading this evoked from my soul.

Leaving it here all night plagued me; not because I was afraid of retribution for what I said about Muhammad, or the various threats I made to these hideous monsters, but because I realized I'd stooped to their level.

At that moment, I was willing to do to them  (or much worse) what they are doing to the innocent women in their society, whose only crime is being born into the wrong religious sector with a shred of individuality and will of their own.

I won't pretend I don't feel hatred for the retarded freaks who destroyed the innocents. Removing my insults to their idols wasn't a concession to them, but rather an acquiescence to myself; an affirmation of my peaceful creed.

Crazy world we live in.
