Most Ridiculous Item Of The Day (so far)
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, there is a societal gap of a thousand years or more between the West and most Muslim countries. Tribalism, slavery, blood feuds, human bondage and women deprived of basic human rights. This is what they want to bring to the West.
Have we come this far to suddenly revert back to 10th century barbarism simply because we need their oil? Don’t they realize that the only thing stopping us from killing them all and taking all the oil is our own 21st century conscience?
If we behaved under the same 10th century rules they do, they’d all be deader than hell by now and we’d be paying .15¢ per gallon for gas. It’s something for them to think about while they sit around the camel-dung fire, gamble away their family and plot ways to kill everyone not like them ....
Girl Lost In Poker Game Pleads For Help
HYDERABAD (Reuters) - Mon Feb 26, 2007 8:48am ET160
A teenage girl in southern Pakistan, whose late father lost her in a poker game when she was 2 years old, has asked authorities to save her from being handed over to a middle-aged relative.
Rasheeda, 17, said she has filed applications with the police and a local councillor asking them to prevent Lal Haider, 45, from taking her to his home. Her mother, Nooran said her husband racked up a debt of 10,000 rupees ($151) to Haider playing cards.
“My husband didn’t have money to pay, and instead he told Lal Haider that he could take Rasheeda when she grows up,” she said. Despite being paid his money last year, she said Haider still insisted the girl should be given to him because of tribal customs.
While both families live in Hyderabad, a city 160 km (100 miles) north of the southern city of Karachi, they belong to the same tribe in Baluchistan province. The girl’s uncle, Dur Mohammad said Haider apparently wanted to marry the girl to his son.
Khalid Rajput, a local councillor dealing with the case, said the decision that Rasheeda should be handed over to Haider was taken late last week at a tribal council meeting.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
