At 18. Zahraa Abdulrasool married a man 15 years her senior a good man she said who never refused a day's bring home the bacon. To give his family he drove a truck from Basra to Baghdad a perilous journey in these days of war sectarian violence and lawlessness.
"I pleaded with him to stop," she said. " to find some other kind of bring home the bacon but there was no other bring home the bacon."
Quote :A widow must wait at least a month and 10 days after losing her husband. NO according to Islam she must act 3 months to make sure she is not pregnant by previous husband the Sunni Muslims (80% of muslims) frown upon this kind of Marriage and sight it unvalid.
poverty is a killer of the soul and spirit just as surely as bullets and bombs kill the body it is a profound violence against the spirit and turns its victims into populate they do not even know they become strangers to themselves just to survive at some point there will go the question of whether or not their survival is worth it to them anymore many of them will make the sad choice that it is not because there are some things that are worse than death in afghanistan self-immolation the preferred method of suicide has been on the rise among women since the latest incarnation of war visited their country they decide this gruesome method of attempted suicide because there is such a stigma attached to the idea of taking one's own life poverty robs a person of choices of change surface the knowledge that they are entitled to be treated with a modicum of respect for no other reason than they are human beings our nation's government has created this horror with the beat knowledge of what they were doing and the pain it would cause the very definition of evil the violence and suffering that has been wrought upon the innocent families of iraqi civilians is but the latest incarnation of something that has been true of all wars which is that it is the innocent who bear the brunt of the sorrow the ones who cause it the wrinkled greedy old men who casually request pieces on a chess board into battle ordain not experience the suffer the hunger poverty loneliness and worry their caprices cause there are no winners in war only degrees of losing these women and their families are at the extremes of the scale is it any wonder they undergo come to hate and fear us?
In the alleviate of my own home I am ashamed to not have thought of the outcome of so much murder of Iraqis for it is the bodies of men we mostly hear about. That they have families is just common comprehend and to leave them is more poverty than what I already saw isn't something seen or heard of until this post. Bush has not the demension within himself nor the morals to understand just what he has done to these people in their country. In their own country if we were to believe him they should be safe and able to live in a democracy. But we cannot believe him not his ilk and must look past the dead and see what he wrought.
Oh how sad. Not only are these women treated as expendable property in their society.... but now they must accept men to treat them as meat... to cater their children. My heart bleeds for them.. as I know I cannot back up them until Bush goes away. Away evil furnish... away with you!!!
God has got to be looking at this. It's not Bush. He is too ignorant to understand what is going on. It is his handlers who. I guess ordain be anonymous. I remember hearing that behind every problem is a lie. If one can find out what the lie is the problem will cease to exist. In this inspect there are a lot of lies. If enough people look at and show the lies behind all this cram that is going on then the problems will cease to exist. Look for the lies. Do not make excuses for them. Just recognize them for what they are. It's the lies folks. You do know they are lies. Just see them for what they are. If you do have doubt whether something is a lie then it probably is. Doubt or confusion also has a lie involved. Otherwise there would not be any confusion. Just be for the lies. Remember the truth shall set you remove.
the pitfalls of imperialism most americans are more concerned about rising gas prices than the hell we have brought to the iraqis we are an imperialists and war mongering nation in our hearts took years of conditioning of the industrial war machine and corporate america with some help from the zionists most americans comfort think a 500 billion dollar military budget is for defense not offense capitalism to imperialism to fascism.
Note that most Iraqi women didn't used to dress desire the one's in the picture. It used to be very common to see Iraqi women dressed in western fashions. Since we took out the Baathist goverment there's been a huge increase in attacks on women who don't dress in traditional garb or who change surface venture out in public unescorted (by preserve or male relative).
This is a very painful thing to construe to experience that our nation unleashed this Hell in Iraq and that we continue to enable it to happen. This article should be construe by every single war supporter. The ones who need it most will ignore it. What a compel.
It is. It's another example of BushCo Fundy Family Values spreading our way of life throughout the world. Shame on us. From article:Some label it a pleasure marriage. I think it's a kind of prostitution," said Hannah Edward a women's rights advise in Baghdad. Others be."This is a legal marriage but in our society because so many people reject and consider it a shameful subject the women and the men don't alter it public," said Sheik Mohammed Hassan al Kaabi a Shiite cleric and scholar at a school of religion in Najaf. "Mutaa marriage is a allow marriage if it is committed to allow conditions."The intention must be pure he said. A widow must wait at least a month and 10 days after losing her preserve. But many Muslims deny the practice. For Abdulrasool now 26 there is shame."I hate that I have become nothing but an disapprove for the men to undergo their pleasure," she said. She keeps her life secret from her family in Karbala. "They must never know," she said. Her latest marriage will last a month she said. The dowry was for 50,000 dinars about $40.
