At Last! Sharia-Compliant On-Line Dating



Palestinian Authority legalizes online dating


The Palestinian Authority’s Supreme Fatwa Council ruled on Tuesday that men and women are allowed to date online, but only for the purpose of marriage.

The council explained that dating and chatting on social media websites, “which have hugely developed in this era, have become an indispensable necessity.”

This unprecedented ruling contradicts fatwas by many extremist Islamic scholars against the use of digital technology for dating between Muslim men and women reports the Jerusalem Post.


The council acknowledged that dating between members of the opposite sex through the Internet had become “unavoidable and impossible to prohibit completely.”

However, the new ruling cautioned that online dating was conditioned on the the two sides’ “adherence to the required moral standards and Shari’a rules.”

One of the main conditions, the council ruled, is “the existence of an urgent need for establishing such contact through the Internet, with the basic goal being marriage in line with available legitimate means.”

“The conversation should be restricted to achieving this goal. It should not transcend to private matters that could stir instincts and awaken desires.”

According to the ruling, a woman is prohibited during the conversation from providing excessive detail about herself, displaying her photo to her male interlocutor or even meeting with him without the presence of her family.

Muslim beauty pageant competes against Miss World


Women in bikinis are banned from the The Muslimah World contest.

A Muslim Beauty Contest
Sorry no bikinis . . . but we are having a Quran reading
contest and headscarf styling.


INDONESIA  -  The Miss World beauty contest, which has attracted fierce opposition by hardline Islamic groups in host country Indonesia, is now facing another challenge -- a rival pageant exclusively for Muslims.

The Muslimah World contest to be held on Wednesday in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, is "Islam's answer to Miss World", the pageant's founder Eka Shanti said on Saturday.

"Muslimah World is a beauty pageant, but the requirements are very different from Miss World -- you have to be pious, be a positive role model and show how you balance a life of spirituality in today's modernised world," Shanti told AFP France 24 News.

The pageant is the latest backlash against Miss World, which has already dropped the bikini from its beach fashion round and has attracted more than a month of protests by Muslim hardliners demanding the show be scrapped.

The Headscarf Styling competition.
 
The Miss Jihad finalists.

Radicals have set effigies of the organisers alight and deemed the contest "smut" and "pornographic".

The 20 Muslimah World finalists were chosen from more than 500, who took part in online rounds, reciting Koranic verses and telling stories of how they came to wear the Islamic headscarf, a requirement for the pageant.

The finalists, from Iran, Malaysia, Brunei, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Indonesia, will parade Islamic fashions in what Shanti says is an opportunity to show young Muslim women they do not need to show their "immodest" parts -- including their hair and bare shoulders -- to be beautiful.


But Shanti said she did not support hardliners' calls to cancel the Miss World contest, acknowledging that Indonesia was a diverse country with many faiths.

"We don't just want to shout 'no' to Miss World. We'd rather show our children they have choices. Do you want to be like the women in Miss World? Or like those in Muslimah World?" Shanti said.

After repeated protests, government officials announced last week that the Miss World final would be moved from the outskirts of the capital Jakarta to the resort island of Bali, where the contest began last week with no opposition from the Hindu majority there.

The organisers, however, were not party to the decision and have said it would be "impossible" to make the last-minute change.

Despite the decision, protesters from the Islamic group Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia demonstrated in the central Java city of Yogyakarta Saturday, its spokeswoman saying "Miss World is not welcome in Indonesia at all".

The decision to move the final round was the latest victory for Islamic fringe groups, who are wielding increasing power and have succeeded in getting several events they deem un-Islamic changed or cancelled in recent years.


While back in the sane world
Let the Muslims have their contest.  The rest of us will enjoy the many pleasures of the
female body both in and out of beauty pageants.

Democrats vote to kill more babies



Please don't kill me.
Why are Democrats obsessed with killing (aborting)
helpless children?


Two news stories coming out of Iowa and California are disturbing.  In both cases the stories show the existence of a strange Democrat Cult of Death.

Democrats hate their own culture so much that they eagerly advocate the nearly unlimited killing of American babies through abortion.

But I take it one step more.  Take abortion + immigration.  Yes they are connected.  Democrats want to abort the undeserving babies of the "evil" United States and import the downtrodden and deserving citizens of other nations to replace us.

But I am just a "crazy" Blogger.  What do I know anyway?


Iowa Democrats Pray for Abortion Rights




Iowa  -  They made the unusual decision, for Democrats, to begin the event with a prayer. This was likely in response to a prayer vigil being conducted by pro-life activists at the same time nearby.

Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as “a blessing”.

During the entire prayer, State Senator Jack Hatch and Rep. Tyler Olson, both of whom are running for governor, kept their heads bowed and eyes closed, joining in the group prayer.

The Iowa Republican transcribed a bit of the prayer, which goes on for quite a while:

“We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care.”

“We pray for increased financial support for low-income women to access contraception, abortion and childcare.”

“Today, we pray for women in developing nations, that they may know the power of self-determination. May they have access to employment, education, birth control and abortion.”

“Today we pray for the families who have chosen. May they know the blessing of choice.”

A Cult of Death
California Democrats vote to kill more babies


The People's Republic of California  -  The People's State Senate last Monday approved legislation that would broaden the number of abortion providers. Translation - more baby killers.

Democrats can't use their standard "Think of the Children" line, because in this case they want to kill the children. So they switched to "Think of the women." Of course, if you abort the female babies then in time you won't be able to think of the women. There won't be any.

The 25-11 vote, with only Democrats in support, sends the measure back to the Assembly to approve amendments before it goes to fruitcake Comrade Governor Jerry Brown.

The bill would allow a nurse practitioner, certified nurse-midwife or physician assistant who completes specialized training to provide a common abortion procedure during the first trimester of pregnancy reports the San Diego Union Tribune.
 
Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat carrying the measure, said many women must travel great distances or go without early pregnancy care because of the limited number of physicians who perform abortions.
.
“We need accessibility throughout the state — not just in urban centers,” Atkins said in an interview after the Senate vote.

Muslim Beauty Contests - Women No, Goats Yes



Beauty is un-Islamic.
Indonesian Muslim clerics lash out at Miss World


Indonesia’s top Islamic authority lashed out Friday at the country’s decision to host the Miss World beauty pageant next month, saying that women exposing their bodies went against Muslim teaching.

The pageant is already facing opposition in Muslim-majority Indonesia, with radicals vowing to stage protests against the contest even after organisers agreed to drop the bikini round in a bid to avoid causing offence.

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) added its voice to the protests Friday, saying a top-level meeting of clerics earlier this month decided it did not want the pageant in the country reports Agence France-Presse.




“Exposing women’s bodies in public is ‘haram’, forbidden by Islamic teaching,” senior MUI official Muhyiddin Junaidi told reporters in the capital Jakarta.

“Even though the bikini event is being axed, the contestants will still wear tight dresses and expose parts of their body.”

The group also urged the country’s Muslims, more than 90 percent of the 240 million population, not to watch the pageant on television.

Last year, pop sensation Lady Gaga axed a concert after hardliners threatened to burn down the venue and criticised her for wearing only "a bra and panties".

More than 130 women will compete in Miss World, with some rounds on the resort island of Bali and the final in Bogor outside Jakarta. Bogor is in West Java province, parts of which are considered a stronghold for radicals.

Organisers revealed in June that the contestants would not wear bikinis during the beach fashion section, to be held in Bali, and would instead wear more conservative attire such as traditional sarongs.

Muslim Approved Beauty Pageant Held in Mecca
A beauty competition for goats was held in Saudi Arabia.  Auction supervisor Fawzi al-Subhi said that over 170 animals are competing for the coveted title ‘most beautiful goat.’ He expects the winner to be sold for at least 18,000 dollars.

Revenge Porn - Calif. to criminalized private disputes



Revenge Porn
Idiotic Republicans and Democrats join together to
criminalize private romantic quarrels


Jail time for so-called "revenge porn". I smell hack politicians pandering for votes.

The hot button phony issue of the day is poor downtrodden women . . . women who just happen to vote.

But so-called "Revenge Porn" could apply to either sex plus lesbians and gays, but the hacks are targeting scorned women to get votes. The politicians want you to ignore the fact that the photos were posed for voluntarily. Ignore that. Put everyone in jail.

People fall in love and sometimes break up. Bad breakups can produce all kinds of painful and unhealthy fallout: severing relationships with friends, dividing your mingled possessions, seeking solace in alcohol, putting nude pictures and videos of your ex on the Internet.

Commonly referred to as "revenge porn," the practice of posting or disseminating lascivious images and footage without someone's consent has captured politician's vote pandering imagination and the California Senate has passed a bill penalizing those involved.


The legislation, authored by Sen. Anthony Cannella (Republican -  Ceres) and backed by organizations like the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the California Sheriffs' Association, makes revenge porn a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or jail time.

Yeah, let's put people in prison for posting photos that the other party voluntarily posed for.

Cannella floated Senate Bill 255 after being approached by a constituent dismayed that an ex had shared photos that "were intimate in nature," reports the Sacramento Bee.

"That was the initial exposure," Cannella said (no pun intended).

In looking for a way to attract votes Cannella claims he did some research and discovered that not only is cyber revenge more widespread than he realized, it's also not illegal. Someone whose privacy has been violated can seek redress in civil court, but Cannella wants them in jail.

The pandering hacks look down on women and think females are weak and helpless and cannot go to civil court. So let's jump up a private dispute to the criminal level and have government prosecutors put people in jail for private quarrels.

A single senator voted against the bill. Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, said he rejected the measure -- also opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union -- because he feared it would undermine First Amendment freedoms.

"While I appreciate the intent of this legislation, I feel it was too broadly drawn and could potentially be used inappropriately to censor free speech," Yee said in a statement.
 

Post a Photo - Go to Jail
Moron political hacks from both parties want to put men, women, lesbians and gays in prison for posting romantic, nude or sexy photos of their ex on the Internet. Never mind that the ex-lover voluntarily posed for those photos in the first place.
.
These types of private disputes are a matter for the civil courts and deal with contract law.  But politicians want to look big, powerful and tough.  They want to put people in jail to get votes.

.
The public is being told by the liars in the professional women's rights movement that somehow women are "helpless" and cannot go to civil courts like men do.  So district attorneys on the public payroll will act on behalf of those "helpless" women and extract revenge on their ex-lover.
.
  As usual, the insane Big Government loving members of both parties want to criminalize private matters.
 
As a public service
As a public service to the Internet community, here are a few "cleaner" examples of glamour porn photos that could put an ex-lover in prison. 
 
 



Women who wear perfume are "fornicators" says Muslim cleric



Muslim says "fornication" like it's a bad thing.
A woman should be in total submission to her husband.


Public prosecutors in Spain have dropped charges of "advocating gender violence" against a Muslim cleric who, on April 2013, preached a two-hour sermon in Spanish, entitled "The Queens of Islam."

During the sermon he made a number of pronouncements about the role of women in Spanish society, including: "Any woman who wears perfume and leaves the house and walks past men who can smell her perfume is a fornicator, and every glance she gets is a fornication."


Malik Ibn Benaisa, the cleric, had been charged with “advocating gender violence” because of his sermon, but those charges have been dropped. The district attorney for the case said “in relation to domestic violence, the law refers to concrete action in the form of threats, injuries, coercion or abuse, while the sexual or religious discrimination section of Article 510 of the Penal Code refers to encouraging discrimination, hatred or violence. This did not occur at the conference in question.”

Benaisa may not have advocated violence, but he certainly advocated discrimination.

“A woman cannot show her face or bare hands, she cannot wear high heeled shoes, she cannot wear blue jeans, she must wear a scarf to cover her chest, she cannot pluck her eyebrows and she cannot wear perfume because if she uses it she becomes a fornicator,” Benaisa said during his sermon. “A woman must keep her head down because a jealous husband can cause problems with other men. A woman should be in total submission to her husband. She has an obligation to wear the veil.”

The case involves Malik Ibn Benaisa, a Muslim imam based in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa where Muslims constitute about 50% of the total population.

Benaisa also said that women should be banned from wearing blue jeans and high heels and from leaving the house unless their hands and face are completely covered.

The comments, which were aired on Spanish public television, enraged women's rights activists and triggered a nationwide debate over when religious speech becomes abusive and crosses the line into "sexual discrimination" and "gender violence."

Islamist Fatwa Issued Against Beauty Pageant



Malaysia, the bastion of “moderate” Islam
Nutcase Muslims say it a sin for women to participate
in or organize a beauty pageant.


Four Muslim finalists have been dropped from the Miss Malaysia World 2013 pageant due to a fatwa banning them from joining such events.

Organiser Datuk Anna Lim said the decision was made following a statement by Federal Territories mufti Datuk Wan Zahidi Wan Teh who had opposed the four finalists’ participation.


“The competition will go on as usual and we are very excited about presenting the best beauty pageant for our non-Muslim finalists,” she told Mingguan Malaysia say Asia One News.

The four dropped are Kathrina Ridzuan, 23, Miera Sheikh, 19, Wafa Johanna De Korte, 19, and Sara Amelia Muhamad Bernard, 20.

Wan Zahidi had said Muslim women could not participate in or organise any beauty pageants as it had been declared haram and a sin.

He said the fatwa had been issued on Feb 8, 1996, under the Adminis-tration of Islamic Laws (FT) Act 1993.

Wafa Johanna, expressed disappointment with the organiser’s decision.

confronted with the true bigots in the world. 


Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police raided a park in the Gulf Kingdom and stopped a wedding they considered as a violation of conservative local traditions.

Hundreds of visitors to the park south of the capital Riyadh surrounded the newly-wed Egyptian couple to take part in the party before members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice entered the park and stopped the event.

“A source in the Commission said the wedding was stopped because it violated local traditions as the bride was not covering her face and the groom was holding her hand and hugging her sometimes,” Ajel newspaper said.
