Call it FEMICIDE, not "Honor Killing"
Call it FEMICIDE, not "Honor Killing"
by Bill Levinson
Words are weapons and we must always select the right ones.
Many left-wing organizations, especially at colleges, support the Islamofascists. Liberal women and feminists are especially active in these organizations. Evergreen college student Rachel Corrie was probably set up to be killed so the International Solidarity Movement could make propaganda from her death.
Our side must therefore use words like "rape," "domestic violence," "wife battering," "child molesting," and "femicide" as frequently as possible to describe the enemy's conduct toward women and children. There are few liberal women and feminists who will take the side of cultures that sanction rape, wife battering, child molesting, and femicide. If they insist on doing so, these words can be thrown in their faces to drive a wedge between them and their comrades who genuinely support women's rights.
As an example, Palestinians will frequently kill a female family member who "dishonors" herself by losing her virginity, which may include being raped. The Palestinians refer to this as an "honor killing," which is an oxymoron because Palestinians are without any honor whatsoever. Our side should refer to such killings as FEMICIDE. Examples"
"Every year, hundreds of women and girls are murdered in the Middle East by male family members. The honor killing-the execution of a female family member for perceived misuse of her sexuality- is a thorny social and political issue. Palestinian activists campaigning for equality find it difficult to stop the killings altogether. Legitimacy for such murders stems from a complex code of honor ingrained in the consciousness of some sectors of Palestinian society."
Again, the Palestinian is without any honor whatsoever but it redefines femicide as "honor killing."
ABU QASH, West Bank — Raped by her brothers and impregnated, Rofayda Qaoud refused to commit suicide, her mother recalls, even after she bought the 17-year-old a razor with which to slit her wrists.
So Amira Abu Hanhan Qaoud says she did what she believes any good Palestinian parent would: restored her family's "honor" through murder.
A Palestinian girl who was raped and impregnated by her two brothers was later murdered by her own mother – even though her daughter was the crime's innocent victim – in another of the disturbingly common, if vastly underreported, instances of "honor killings." The mother will be sentenced in two weeks, but a harsh penalty is not expected.
In other words, the Palestinian dirt culture and trash culture sanctions both rape and femicide. Note that the two ape Palestinians that raped their own sister were not punished even though any civilized society would have put them in an ape cage where they belonged (and then forced them to register as sex offenders when they were let out). The fact that they did it to their own sister instead of to a stranger makes it even worse. The sow (Amira Abu Hanhan Qaoud) would have been caged as well, and maybe even sterilized so it could not breed any more rapists or daughters who would "dishonor" it by being raped by the sons it raised as rapists.
Note that, in choosing our language, the daughter who was murdered is referred to as a human being while her rapists and killer are spoken of as one would refer to animals: apes (or bucks) and sows, and also as "it" instead of "he" or "she." We must always "humanize" the victim as much as conceivably possible while denying her tormentors even the basic dignity of recognition as members of our own species. In the context of the latters' behavior, a neutral reader can hardly take objection; nothing the reader recognizes as human behaves in this manner. The idea is to promote well-deserved hatred and contempt of the enemy.
The same applies to the conflict in Iraq. The enemy is not an "insurgent" and he, or rather IT, is certainly not a "Minuteman" as described by Michael Moore. It is a terrorist and a murderer. Only an enemy soldier in a uniform can kill another soldier in action so American solders are murdered, not killed in action, by terrorists who masquerade as civilians.
Remember that words are weapons and we must not allow the enemy to define the language of the propaganda war.

Bill, once again your right on target. we need to take the fight to the liberals by using their own mentaly deranged ideas. We must also point out to the socialist gay mafia who supports Islamofacism that the arabs dont take to kindly to the gay culture and tend to participate in "homo"cide.

I don't know of any gays or feminists who support islamo-fascists. Daniel perhaps it is your own hatred of gays which causes you to lump them all together and assume they are all left-wing extremists who support islamofascists.
Bill the only problem I have with your column is your demeaning of animals. Certainly animals are of a much higher form of life then these depraved fascist, rapist, murdering muslims.

Laura, you are right. My use of terms like "sand apes" and "jihad monkeys" to describe Islamofascists is libel to apes and monkeys.

Laura, look at any radical socialist or leftist group that is against war with arab countries or one that defends terrorists ( ACLU, LAWYERS Guild) they are full of the gay and feminist mob. It's a plain fact that you will not find one of them that supports the war on terror or the defence of Israel. I am not talking about the typical gay citizen or woman that holds feminist views. I'm refering to these ultr-leftist orinazations that vihamitly promote their liberal, socialist, anti-capitalist, anti-American agenda under the guise of equality for gays or woman. I am simply proving this by showing their hypocrocy. If they were really concerned about the welfare of woman or gays then they would realize that the Arab world should be ground zero for their fight. The fact that these very orginizations not only obstain from taking an active role to help defeat these oppressors but vigorously work to defend them by blocking every aggressive means to fight them, clearly exposes to us that it is not the equality of woman and gays that concerns them but rather a more general liberal agenda. Thus, woman's rights are only used as a rallying slogan when it's conducive and helpfull to their liberal agenda, but the minute that the outspoken promotion of these ideas will stand in contrast to their liberal agenda, thy will conviniately turn a blind eye.
