Here's one small part of the DARK TRUTH about how depraved so many average Americans - - - I'm not speaking here of Orthodox Christians, but I feel by so clearly siding WITH Israel and the bedrock of Judeo-Christian 'solidarity' in their intense antipathy for anyone else but themselves, especially beating up on Muslims running after the common crowd of American prejudice - - - have become.
With no moral compass, a fearful number of Americans have descended into unbelievable depths of satanic possession.
Normally myself I would not post something so awful.
But I think some readers need to think very deeply about where they really stand and what is truly right.
What would most Westernized men feel if this happened to YOUR mothers or sisters or daughters? Would they care? Most Americans seem to have no feeling for those in their life, as though their hearts have nothing in them; no ability to FEEL FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Well the news is that Middle Easterners dearly love and defend their families. They will defend a foreign woman - yes, absolutely a Christian, too - at the drop of a hat. Without even thinking twice, because they know their role as men: to defend women.
Not only has no Orthodox man here on this site - or in real life - EVER ONCE stepped forward to defend me in any way whether from physical or verbal attack.
I watched even a former US military intelligence ROCOR parishioner shake with fear of a Soviet emigre WOMAN who had that nasty, bossy way of pushing around for evil purposes.
Supposedly there to guard me, he buckled, cowered and fled. A traditional - I don't mean Americanized - Muslim man would never have been intimidated, AND would have fought on my behalf with the rather frightening woman until sure I would be safe. Only then would he courteously take leave.
Furthermore I have numerous stories of brave men standing up against dreaded, ruthless security services on my behalf. They risked everything to ensure my safety alone. There was no possible personal gain for them. They simply did the right thing in PROTECTING a woman and a foreigner. I will always be grateful for this extreme bravery.
However, I have never had one Orthodox gentleman even treat me as a lady. Instead, they have adopted the rough, crude ways of countries such as the U.S. American men are devoid of chivalry. American women with no sense of their feminity are at fault too for discouraging this -- instead becoming demanding, angry, aggressive toward men, as too many modern American women are. The whole dynamic is enough to dissolve families so no wonder there are so many single mothers in the US and Europe!
In general, many Christians consider themselves automatic exemplary human beings. This doesn't work: you have to earn praise, not rest on the laurels of OR mask your imperfections behind membership in a religious group: "I'm Orthodox, so that means I'm fantastic! I don't have any faults: but everybody else does for sure!"
I'm writing this introduction because I want people to really think over what is important in life.
Think about making positive changes instead of striking out at Muslims to divert blame and attention for one's own deficiencies. So many American christians and atheists do this reflexively. There is no ability to shoulder responsibility or to search INSIDE one's own self. Isn't that what Orthodoxy is supposed to be about? The interior work on one's soul ?
Let's see some actual RESULTS! Not endless talk - but REAL compassion for others.
The same lack of reverence for women exists too much in Russia as well. But ancient cultures of the Middle East have it imbued in them. The former Iraqi general - now in exile like millions, solely due to the American takeover of Iraq - who posted these 2 blurbs was SO furious that his countrywomen had been so cruelly treated by American invaders. It's a credit to him that he cares so much ! It feels like the average American man would shrug, oh too bad and go back his baseball game on TV. He can't even FEEL any more. I don't see any difference in this respect to Orthodox faithful. Why don't they CARE about the pain of others? Why are spiritual fathers NOT inculcating this most basic of all human virtues: CARING for others. Isn't Christianity supposed to be centred on caring for one's neighbor ?? Why has it inherited the Jewish meanness toward others beyond the narrow limits of their own little group.
What I'm asking is for Orthodox and other readers to separate themselves off from the pollution which swirls around so many Americans and those of Western countries. Don't persecute people who try to hold on to admirable values: notice the powerful words here about how Muslim women cherish viriginity - isn't this exactly what all the Orthodox elders tell us? How many American women can one find who think like this?
WHY are you people here mocking Muslims so brutally, especially when you know NOTHING whatsoever about what type of people they are??? Why not turn anger where it belongs: devils in Hollywood propagating violence, abuse of all types as "cool", disgusting books hailed as "literature" pushed on readers everywhere, libraries included, etc. And the heavy Jewish cultural influence in the U.S. which pushes cheapness and appalling immorality 24 hours a day to pull down the - unguarded by the Mother of God, their Saintly protectors and Guardian Angels due to lack of prayer or belief in Heaven - into this mindless and callous behavior which in extremes, leads to such shocking, tragic tales as these.
By the way, Afghan society is even more focused on the honor of women, it's one of the 3 pillars of the Pashtun code.
Therefore, stories will be even slower to emerge from the American war in Afghanistan. For sure it has happened there as well. to be very honest, I don't know if even the Red Army was so brutal in THIS particular regard as American military personnel have been revealed to be.
These articles show WHY the entire government and military are lying through their teeth to us, the public across the board.
But especially in perpetuating the notion that the US is invading so it can "bring freedom" to a 'benighted people'.
Well, so THIS is how they are "enhancing the role of women in these 'backward' societies" ? This is how they are 'liberating women" - ? Read on if you dare to :
Human rights groups: Iraqi women raped at Abu Ghraib jail
Closed nature of Iraqi society made claims difficult to verify, women prefer to die rather than talk.
By Rouba Kabbara – BAGHDAD
Iraqi women who were held at Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad have complained of rape by both US and Iraqi jailers, according to human rights groups citing alleged victims.
Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, chief military spokesman for the US-led coalition in Iraq, told AFP the prisons department was "unaware of any such reports at Abu Ghraib," and the cases were not confirmed first-hand by AFP.
...Iman Khamas, head of the International Occupation Watch Center, a non-governmental organisation which gathers information on human rights abuses under coalition rule, said one former detainee had recounted the alleged rape of her cellmate in Abu Ghraib.
According to Khamas, the prisoner said her cellmate had been rendered unconscious for 48 hours. "She claimed she had been raped 17 times in one day by Iraqi police in the presence of American soldiers."
Mohammed Daham al-Mohammed said the Iraqi group he heads, the Union of Detainees and Prisoners, had been told of a mother of four, arrested in December, who killed herself after being raped by US guards in front of her husband at Abu Ghraib.
The account came from the woman's sister who said she had helped in the suicide.
According to the sister, the woman had told of "being taken into a cell where she saw her husband attached to the bars.
"An American soldier held her by the hair to force her to look at her husband while he stripped her," Mohammed said.
She was then raped. After her release the woman had begged her sister to help her die so she would not have to face her husband when he was freed.
One former male prisoner, Amer Abu Durayid, 30, who was released from Abu Ghraib on May 13, told AFP he had seen women being taken into a room. "They had to pass in front of our tent and cried out, 'Find a way to kill us'" he said.
Human rights groups point out that in a conservative society like Iraq women feel that rape dishonours their whole family.
"A woman would prefer to die," Khamas said.
She added that one single woman, an economics teacher, had whispered her story of being raped at Abu Ghraib in Khamas's ear, even though there was no one else in the room.
"The next day, she came back with her brother and asked me to tear up her statement [out of fear of reprisals apparently]," Khamas said.
Iraqi Woman Recalls Abu Ghraib Rape Ordeal -
CAIRO, July 21 – The rape ordeal she suffered at the hands of US soldiers, both males and females, in the notorious Abu Gharib prison will continue to haunt Nadia for the rest of her life.
Though freed now, she is "imprisoned" in painful memories that left her psychologically and physically scarred, paying the price of the brutality and sadism of her American jailers.
Nadia, the name given by a freed Iraqi female prisoner to Al-Wasat, a weekly supplement of the respectable London-based Al-Hayat newspaper, felt it incumbent upon herself to speak out and expose the less-talked-about abuse of female prisoners in US-run detention camps across Iraq.
Her visit to a relative ended up in her detention by American troops, who stormed the home under the preferable excuse of "searching for weapons".
"I tried in vain to convince the impeded interpreter I was a guest, but I lost consciousness to find myself later in a dingy dark cell all by myself," Nadia recalled.
With tears rolling down her cheeks, she told the paper how she was stripped by her "liberators" of the most precious thing an Arab and Muslim women can have: Her virginity.
"Fear ran through me when I saw US soldiers laughing hysterically with a female solider telling me mockingly in an Arabic accent ‘I never heard about female arms dealer in Iraq’," Nadia said.
"As I tried hard to explain to her that I was wrongly rounded up, the female soldier started accosting and kicking me with my cries and pleas falling on dead ears."
She went on: "She gave me a cup of water [drugged, obviously] and no sooner had I started sipping it than I went into a deep trance to find myself later naked and raped."
‘Like Animals’
Only then Nadia realized that hard times and an uncertain fate were lying ahead.
And days proved her right. The other day, five soldiers fondled and raped her one after another in a distasteful sex orgy on the tunes of culturally offensive [offensive to Muslims and Middle Easterners, they mean] heavy metal music.
"One month later, a soldier showed up and told me in broken Arabic to take a shower. And before finishing my bath, he kicked the door open. I slapped him but he raped me like animals and called two of his colleagues, who forced me to have sex with them," added Nadia.
"Four months later, the female soldier came along with four male soldiers with a digital camera. She stripped me naked and started fondling me as if she was a man while her male colleagues broke into laughter and started taking photos.
"Reluctant as I was, she fired four shots close to my head and threatened to kill me if I resist. Then, four soldiers raped me sadistically and I lost conscience. Later, she forced me to watch a clip of my raping, saying bluntly: ‘You were born to give us pleasure’."
Nadia was set free from the US hell in Abu Gharib after spending up to six months there.
The American soldiers dumped her along the highway of Abu Gharib and gave her a meager of 10,000 dinars to "start a new life"..(equal to 5 dollars.)
Too ashamed to return home, she now works as a housemaid for an Iraqi family.
Britain’s mass-circulation The Guardian revealed on May 12 that US soldiers in Iraq have sexually humiliated and abused several Iraqi female detainees in Abu Gharib.
...In a damning report presented to the administration in February, before the outbreak of the [abuse of Iraqis by Americans at that prison] scandal, US Major General Antonio Taguba found numerous "sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses" at the prison complex."
