Ni putes ni soumises -- We're neither whores nor doormats The New French Revolution"I was gang raped by three people I knew, and I couldn't say anything, because in my culture, your family is dishonored if you lose your virginity,” says Bellil. “So I kept quiet, and the rapes continued. The next time, I was pulled off a commuter train and no one lifted a finger to help me. …Everybody turned their head away. They were all looking out the window.”
When Bellil's family discovered that she had been raped, they weren't sympathetic. They threw her out onto the streets. But she's since discovered that what happened to her was not the only case.
“There was a trial in Lille where a 13-year-old girl was gang raped by 80 men. Sometimes, it’s 80, or 50 or 10. It’s absolutely terrible,” says Bellil. “In the case of Argenteuil, it was horrible. A young woman was raped in a school. Of course, everybody knew, but they're so afraid of these young men that they prefer to close their eyes. That's the price of peace in the ghettos.”
When the verdicts came down in this case, the courthouse turned into a madhouse. Eighteen teenagers were convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl over a two-month period. But what really shocked France was how the mothers of those boys reacted.
“You call this justice, seven years in prison for some oral sex,” says one mother. “It's the girl who should be behind bars.” ( full text ) | | 6:16a |
this one's making the rounds Thief tips off police after finding child porn during break-inRED DEER, Alta. (CP) — A Red Deer man has been jailed after an outraged burglar spotted massive amounts of child pornography on his computer and called police.
William Mitchell, who pleaded guilty earlier this year in Red Deer provincial court, was charged in October 2005 after RCMP, acting on an anonymous tip, searched his home. An agreed statement says that someone had broken into Mitchell’s residence and taken a video camera. The camera, the tipster said, had images of child pornography and would be left on the steps of a church.
Police retrieved the camera and soon realized the burglar had videotaped a computer monitor displaying images of child pornography.
Following the address printed on the burglar’s note, police seized computer equipment containing 13,315 pornographic images.
Mitchell will remain in jail until he is sentenced on Dec. 1.
Cpl. Greg Brown of Red Deer City RCMP said outside the court that the burglary remains unsolved. | | 6:23a |
French Schools Lurch Toward IslamizationFrance's educational system appears headed towards meltdown. An article by Olivier Guitta in the May 9th Weekly Standard reports that a leaked study conducted between October 2003 and May 2004 under the auspices of France's inspector-general of education, Jean Pierre Obin, describes an educational system that is cracking under the strain of a growing, non-assimilating Muslim population.
Orbin found that Muslim students regularly boycott classes that concern Voltaire, Rousseau and Moliere, whom the students accuse of being anti-Islamic. The students also protest the Crusades and frequently deny the Holocaust. Orbin's report cites Muslim students' refusal to use the "plus" sign in mathematics because it looks like a crucifix; Muslims boycotting class trips to churches, cathedrals and monasteries; and forcing wholesale changes in school lunch fare to accommodate their religious and cultural practices. The report mentions a teacher who keeps a copy of the Koran on her desk for reference when controversial historical issues arise. Obin's investigators also found that most Muslim students refuse to participate in sports such as swimming, "the girls out of modesty, the boys because they do not want to swim in girls' water or non-Muslim water."
( rest of the article )The source report is linked as a pdf file, but unless you speak French, it's not much use. | | 6:29a |

UN troops face child abuse claimsChildren have been subjected to rape and prostitution by United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti and Liberia, a BBC investigation has found. Girls have told of regular encounters with soldiers where sex is demanded in return for food or money.
In Haiti, the BBC's Mike Williams spoke to a street girl as young as 11 who had reported sexual abuse by peacekeepers outside the gates of the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince. A 14-year-old described her abduction and rape inside a UN naval base in the country two years ago.
Despite detailed medical and circumstantial evidence, the allegation was dismissed by the UN for lack of evidence - and the alleged attacker returned to his home country.
A local NGO worker said reports of sexual abuse involving peacekeepers were "still rampant, despite pronouncements that they have been curbed". | | 3:03p |

"To throw oneself into strange teachings is quite dangerous." I once read a saying that there were four terrors in life, father, fire, lightning and earthquake. And then I read another saying that a good husband and father is always best at work, not at home. These both came from Japan, I think, although it's been awhile since I read that second one. At the time, I thought it more humorous than anything else, but over the years I think it was saying something a little more serious. ( talking about my TMNT fic and filial piety ) | | 9:15p |
Man...
Not to knock any readers anywhere, but really...if a story hasn't been updated for awhile at one archive, isn't it just common sense to plop the title into a search engine and see if it's been updated anywhere else?
I don't update at mediaminer very often just 'cause I don't like their chapter manager and I forgot for long periods of time. (How long? I just posted three chapters of Oath Breaker there.) But stick the title in yahoo's search and my ff.net fic is the very first link. Type in KC along with the title and my livejournal pops up.
Is mediaminer even a popular archive anymore? It's layout sucks. Granted, I only post there 'cause I'm a review whore, but still, it's one of the rare instances where I'm tempted to ask "Google, do you speak it?" | | 9:31p |
HP question
Do we have any evidence of the wizarding world serving chicken soup to sick people? Or is that purely a muggle thing?
Man, I hope it's a muggle thing... |
