The always thoughtful and interesting thinker, Sir Mike of Whittier, sent this writer a file that showed the actual stoning of a young woman in some Islamic country. The young woman, and she was a young woman -- not more than eighteen -- was condemned to stoning by the local sharia court for the crime of refusing to marry a man some 21/2 to 3 times older than she.
Needless to say, your faithful correspondent was repulsed by the video. He was repulsed for two reasons. The first reason is because the stoning took place at all. The second was because he was curious enough to actually watch it from beginning to end. It was not a nice thing to watch. It was cruel, disgusting and inhuman; especially since those taking part in the stoning were so enthusiastic in the hurling of rocks and cinderblocks. It was the type of execution that makes the gas chamber, the electric chair, hanging or the firing squad look merciful in comparison. It was an example of mass hysteria directed toward a a girl with the participants recording the incident on their cell phones.
And that goes to show the sickness of the whole incident. Men who were able to access the world through their computers and cells phones were participating in an action that is pre-medieval . In fact pre- Christian. And those Jews who claim to know something about their history claim that the Mosaic injunction to stone adulterers has never been observed among the Tribe. Giving Orcs such tools as cell phones and computers is akin to giving an infant a Zippo lighter. No only is there the possibility that said infant will burn himself; the brat may burn down your house.
For those who wish to see a sanitized version of the stoning, there is this. Note that Wolfe Blitzer is not outraged at the crime. But he is a professional and an apologist for little brown babies who he feels are too damn stupid to be brought into some semblance of civilized behaviour. And remember that the Kurds are supposed to be the "good guys" in Iraq and Iran:

For those readers of this blog who read fiction, this writer would suggest that the reader buy Andrew Klavan's Empire of Lies. The books has just come out in mass-market paperback and is also available for the Amazon Kindle.
The novel is NOT politically correct. It is also NOT the usual political/terrorist thriller. Mr. Klavan has taken a Christian man with a past of which he is ashamed and put him into a situation in which he is tempted, performs acts for which he is ashamed, and a man who is willing to examine himself. It is a novel that combines the thriller genre with the type of introspection that one usually finds in the "art" silk stocking writer like John Cheever or John Updike. And Klavan has a wicked sense of humor, as is evinced by this clip:

Mel Gibson has shown himself, over the past couple of years to be a bit of a lout. Several years ago he got heat for telling am Los Angeles Sheriff's deputy (who was a Jew) that he could smell a Jew (which, apparently he could because he seems to have found the only Jewish deputy sheriff on the force since Sherman Block retired) and calling a female deputy "Sugar-tits."
Gibson was drunk at the time, which is no excuse for bad behaviour. After all, William Faulkner was a big binge drinker and never bothered anyone while he was drinking off his latest novel.
Now Mr. Gibson is getting grief for some things that his paramour, mother of his youngest child and aide in the wrecking of his marriage, recorded him saying. Admittedly, Mr. Gibson spoke like a lout and asshat. He called the woman a whore, a slut, a tart. He used the words "nigger" and "wetback", he threatened to burn down her dwelling. The woman claims that he brought physical violence upon her by punching her in the mug and knocking out a tooth veneer.
This writer has no sympathy for Mr. Gibson in his rant. No man should speak to any woman in the way that he did. But Mr. Gibson was standing forth in a private conversation. This writer knows of cases in which the wife says such things as, "I wish you were dead. I hope you die" to her husband. Lovers and married people often say very cruel things to one another; things that would make them join the French Foreign Legion to get away from those remarks if they were publicized at their workplace, church or country club.
But this writer has to ask the question of why, exactly, was the woman recording the conversations or rant? And why did the woman not call the cops once she was punched in the face by Mr. Gibson? Could it be that she is out for a bit of the long green? After all, she's a Russian and Russians who have come to the US since the "end" of the Cold War have shown themselves to be schemers, wide boys and crooks.
This reader is not giving Mr. Gibson a pass on his bad bevhaviour. He has, in the past claimed to be a devout Catholic, and this writer expects him to behave like a believing and devout Catholic. His language has been inappropriate, but nothing more. He's shown himself to be an asshat, but he does have the right to say to his cumbucket what he wants as long as he doesn't punch her lights out.
And having seen his "girlfriend" this writer wonders why Mr. Gibson would have severed his marriage vows for the plastic, siliconed "hottie." Apparently, a youth spent in Australia has ruined this idiot. He should have spent more time time downing Foster's lager and less time thinking about the state of his penis.
