Another question: the sexual revolution wasn't only about what goes on in the bedroom but what goes on in the mind, wasn't it - weren't we supposed to become more than just girl-cows? Teenage girls should be improving their minds, going to H.S. & college, learning how to be successful, heck, learn how to program computers... Sex is great but they should wait and give themselves some free time away from men and children and family duties !!

We in the West got over our fears of the supernatural a bit late - if you ask me, as someone who still believes in the mystical/spiritual realms I know that fear is an un-allowable weakness in them as it is here in the mundane world. You should overcome all fears.

I think the last woman was executed acused of witchcraft in England sometime in the mid 1600's and of course there were the infamious Salem trials here in America  --- there may still be witches, but we don't burn them any longer... or cut off their heads, or stone them ... or hang them ... or, well you get the point, we just leave them alone.

 But in the center of Islam, Saudi Arabia .. that land of enlightenment and godliness they are still living in 900 AD or there abouts - a man can't get "IT" up ... so he blames some poor woman who IS imprisoned for witchcraft and is sentenced to die.

 Islam despises women - all women, and, like many of the Christian churches and other traditional cultures, there is a deep-seated mistrust and hatred for all women, for women-kind and for any hint of femininity - a terror that goes so deep that they feel that women must be subjugated, forced to be slaves of males, and, if rebellious, destroyed. I suspect that it goes into some of the  deepest fears in our primitive ape brains, a primitive fear of the magic of reproduction and sexual passion and also concerns the power and masculinity of men who are very uncertain of themselves... certain, confident people don't need to persecute others.

 Persecution is always born of fear.  I lived in traditional Italian Culture - and rebelled. My father refused to pay for my education, saying I was a girl and I considered him harsh and distant and rebelled as fully as I might. But he never abused me (as I grew up I began to understand that he was just a product of another time and place and was generally a good father if not a kind one)  and he never treated me like Muslim men treat their daughters, wives,sisters and mothers... harshly, meanly, more like animals than fellow human beings, created by the same God and without any love of any kind and Muslim men are very, very good at hating - its seems to me to be the only thing they do with great skill - they show few skills in creating great civilizations, any longer. What was acceptable in 900 AD is now considered primitive and barbaric. It is time of the Islamic religion to grow up and for Muslim men to act like human beings with real hearts instead of hearts of stone. Islam must learn compassion and the simple art of live and let live or it will force the rest of us to take some kind of action we will all regret. Either that, or there will come a time when they live behind their walls - some sort of curtain, like the old Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union, and the rest of the world lets them live in a permanent dark ages. No one goes in - and few get out. I wish we could tell them that we no longer needed their oil - that alone would send them on their way to becoming, once again, inconsequential to the rest of the human race, I suspect.

Here is the Link, again, that shows you  what I am so outraged about ...
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/02/14/saudis-set-to-execute-woman-for-witchcraft/

 And a hint to all you Muslim men -

IF YOU CAN'T GET "IT" UP IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT. GO SEE A DOCTOR, DON'T PERSECUTE A WOMAN WHO CAN'T EVEN READ OR WRITE FOR A CRIME SHE DIDN'T - COULDN'T DO!!!!!!.

I thank God ever day of my life I wasn't born in an Islamic land or family. They are one and all barbarians - and don't give that 'you're prejudice' nonsense, either. I am a woman - when a woman is hung, stoned beheaded or whatever for being raped or stoned for a love affair, or hung, as one girl was, for being a silly teenager,  or executed for witchcraft - it's no longer pre-judgement - its judging what I already know and see. Not all cultures are equal.
What hurts one woman hurts all of us. We are connected.

 The rest of you can stay in your fantasy worlds of open minded political correctness but I will and do judge the actions of others... and this action - killing a woman for a crime that does not exist is just plain barbaric - it's superstitious nonsense that hearkens back to the worse of the dark ages.  We in the West blush about some of the actions of our ancestors who murdered old women whose only sin was being old,senile and knowing some herb lore .  The coming execution of this poor, ignorant woman has nothing to do with God, compassion or justice for Islam knows none of these. It is an unjust, unmerciful warrior religion. The man's problem is within his own body. We have pills for that problem.

 I don't understand why women in this country don't get outraged about how women are treated in Islamic countries, because I certainly do. Why don't we protest.. why don't we encourage our country to do things to help the plight of women worldwide?

I despise the Islamic religion because of its cruelty towards women and dogs, but particularly women. Read & weep, people right here in the good USA. Two beautiful women, on the edge of adulthood, they should be going to college, meeting nice guys and getting married. What a loss, what a waste. They should be free, they should be American women. I hope their dad fries in the deepest level of HELL where only the evil killers of beauty go.

Sometimes I just shake my head in sorrow. Our times are troubled, our children are indoctrinated into liberalism, yet, don't seem understand very fundamental things about life. Ego is the god of the hour.

The article that sparked my comments is here.
My NEW computer is up and running but I have a ton of things to do this week, including mowing the grass and washing a ton of clothes !!

Please read the article I linked to - remember what Christ said about those who corrupt the young? I have a lot of pent up animosity toward the Islamic religion. I am an ex- Roman Catholic woman who had more than enough of the 'Stay humble, you are only a woman!' rant of the old religions and left as soon as my legs and heart were my own. I was abused in grade school at several different levels, also, and I believe that leaving the Roman Catholic religion was the wisest thing I ever did - and it isn't nearly as bad in its actions or pronouncements as the Islamic religion is in its ! (I, for instance, was not killed for leaving, as Muslims do their apostates, I was left pretty much alone, even by my own family. )

Freedom as a human being and a woman is of paramount importance to me as a person. I want all women to choose their path - if they want subjection to men & religion, that is fine, but if they don't, they must have the right to think, dress, have an education, worship who they will ... in short, all the freedoms I have. They must have the right to escape the shackles of the past if that is their desire and they must not be harmed when they do so.

Go ahead and try to tell me I must respect other religions and I will reveal a part of my character few have seen - I am sure there are many good people in Islam but the religion as a whole stinks to high heaven, it tends to corrupt people, particularly, men - I say this as a 55 year old matron who hates anything that holds women down and 'in their place' - tell me why I should respect a religion that still carries on trading in human traffic - slavery ? Or the thousand and one sins Islamic men inflict on the rest of mankind daily ! The war in Darfur, for instance, is the Islamic north killing the none- believer tribal traditionalists in the south. It has nothing to do with global warming and a lot to do with religion. Christians are being killed, persecuted and generally made miserable in all Islamic lands.

We did not cause this war - this is Islam, or perhaps it is just to say a large portion of Islam is on the move and ready to overcome us, here in the West, any way they can - and they are succeeding because the liberals in our society are so mad they are actually siding with the extremists who want to conquer the world!

- I have so many examples of how Islam holds women down it would take a book to list them - from the girls they hang by the neck dangling on long-necked cranes in Iran (her great sin worthy of death? sex outside of marriage! They obviously reject Christ's words about not judging the sins of others severely! ) to the yards upon yards of fabric they force women to wear in some of the hottest climates in the world. I could link, endlessly, and let they condemn themselves with their words and actions.

Oh, Father do you hear the screams of your girl children, at all?

Recently, a Muslim cleric said it was fine to beat a wife, oh, deny her sex first (though, if her genitals are cut off I fail to see how this might effect her!) but beat her, but not on the face, if she shows any signs of independent thought. I would most certainly be dead, by now, if I had had the misfortune to be born a Muslim woman and I must say, in all sincerity, that death would have been infinitely more merciful than spending a lifetime in that damnable, god forsaken religion. I would die, but I would die with eyes of fire.

Islam has too far many laws, rules and traditions, they control everything even how you are facing when you go to the bathroom, this is foolishness of the worse kind! There is only one law - the law of love and As Christ said, it is not what goes into a body that makes it unclean, but what comes out. There is nothing unclean that we eat. The sins of the flesh are in the heart of the sinner and nothing we do, or wear, for that matter, makes someone sin. Men who look on women with lust should not blame the women - women are NOT MEAT. (the statement of another Iman !) This is an article about the comment. Women are fellow human beings as worthy of respect as any man. We are worth just as much as a man, too - not the 2/3 of a man that Islam claims. Each woman is a daughter of God just as each man is a son of God. Each human being is worthy child of God.

I do not believe that Muslims worship the same god I do. In the Koran he does not say the same things that God the Father says in both the old and new testament. - I think they worship a god of war and violence, a god other than God the father/ mother who created all things - it's all in the Koran if you read it at all. The god of the Koran never speaks of the primacy of love, either. He allows cheating and lying when it is done to further to cause of Islam and to none- believers. The Jesus (Christ) of the Koran is not the Jesus I know and love. I am sure that someone will say "But Kathy, you must not criticize others!" I say will " Bring 3 swords and transform the world. " As the Bible says : there is a time for peace and there is a time for war. Let us not go down without a fight, people. I am a peaceful woman but I will defend what I love best and I love my freedom and the freedom of all women, profoundly. I want this war to end, yes, but I will not surrender and wear a burka and bow to a god that is not the God of love.

I love the promise of Christ's world view and words far too much to see their end.

This decade is the decade of war. We will rebuild all that is destroyed and bind up all wounds, afterwards, but like the late 1930's & the 1940's, there is no way but through the war that is coming - that is, in so many ways, already, here.

Someday, the REAL God - the God of love, mercy, kindness and divine fire will catch up with the men who hate, harm and kill for the sake of that religion and what happens will not be pretty - now, you will say that a God of Love could not harm anyone - but you are wrong ! Those who would use children as bombs will not go unpunished - their karma will be just and harsh.

Sometimes, it is a mercy to break things apart - to destroy old things, antique attitudes, to take the plow and break up the unfertile ground and destroy wrong minded traditions so the ground (of the soul) becomes fertile once again and so all of mankind can grow mature - it is a mercy to destroy what is primitive and ignorant so people and society can change. Times of breakup and change have happened to mankind before - they are always partly caused by the patterns of history, man's foolish sinfulness and arrogance and partly caused by the will of God. Our God is not a God of stagnation, no, He is a God of action and flow and He is never inactive or long.

God is like nature - there is a time to die because death is breakup & transformation and is the prologue to sowing new seed.

God comes into the individual soul and turns on the lights in the slimiest dark places the individual soul has, and the soul suffers terribly - I screamed long and deep when He did it to me - but the results were that I cleaned my house up; I threw out a lot of old things; hates, angers and fears. I grew mature and understood the meaning of my life through this process, for the first time in my life.

Now I will say that the time of painful enlightenment is coming for Islam - God does not allow women to scream for mercy, for children to be used as bombs, for whole societies to be violently abused, forever. God hears the screams of the dying and dead. Islam started this war with us far earlier than 9/11 - and with Israel - and threatens destruction to both - and both the USA and Israel have done all they could to end hostilities. They wanted this war because they see us as weak and ready to fall - perhaps, in some cases, they are right. But not in my case. I have fought such men before in my past lives and I will fight them until I die. With words if I can, with sword or other weapon if I must.

But soon, very soon, God will take over this story and the men of Islam will pay a very HIGH price for their violence and arrogance towards not only the West but their own people, their women and children - many will die and much will change and nothing will ever be the same again.
A Last word : pray for those of the Islamic faith - pray for the men, women and children. Pray for them for as Christ said to the women of Jerusalem, there will be great suffering in this time. Try to support those who are fighting the extremists (even when you think their religion stinks to high heaven as I do!) with the hope that what ever better angels there might be will save the good and the innocent. Pray now for the light of Truth to come into the world even if it means pain and struggle, for awhile.
