Her husband had been convicted and imprisoned for 75 days for assaulting his wife last year. <br /><br />In Israel, religious tribunals function as family courts. According to Orthodox Jewish law, divorce is only possible if the husband consents to it. Rabbinical judges in most cases cannot force husbands to give their wives a divorce, though they can impose punishments – including imprisonment and dispossession – on those deemed to be abusing their wives but not granting them a divorce. Such women are called agunot in Hebrew, meaning chained.<br /><br />In this case, the husband admitted to the domestic violence before the rabbinical court and expressed regret for his actions. The assault took place after the woman filed for divorce for the first time – an unsuccessful bid that the court rejected because the husband objected.<br />The woman refiled citing the assault conviction, but in dismissing the request, the court ascribed the violence to the woman’s desire to divorce her husband rather than any inherent will on his part to harm her, according to Mavoi Satum, a Jewish Orthodox organization working for so-called chained women.<br /><br />Denouncing any violence against women, the judges said this applied “especially to such serious violence as described in the charge sheet.” However, “there is also no doubt that the husband’s outburst followed on the difficult conditions he is in as a result of the divorce suit his wife filed against him; and there is no doubt that if the wife accepted the husband’s request to attempt to return normal life together, this occurrence would not have happened,” the ruling by the three-judge panel read.<br /><br />Mavoi Satum accused the court of “paying lip service” to the fight against domestic violence…</i><br /><br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-46418887084418476432017-02-14T11:00:22.835-05:002017-02-14T11:00:22.835-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-89298895439531155972017-02-14T10:58:12.372-05:002017-02-14T10:58:12.372-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-43892534496694204212017-02-14T10:48:38.859-05:002017-02-14T10:48:38.859-05:00.

Flynn does enjoy the full confidence of the president.”<br /><br />As has been pointed out countless times before, this type statement is always a kiss of death.<br /><br />What we know,<br /><br />during the transition period Mike Flynn, the then designated NSA for Donald Trump discussed the issue of the Russian sanctions with the Russian ambassador. This was not necessarily a fatal mistake. No one has ever been tried or convicted under the 1799 Logan Act which forbids unauthorized persons from negotiating with a foreign power. There could have been any number of ways for explaining this indiscretion. Instead... <br /><br />However, Mr. Flynn when questioned about his conversations with the ambassador, denied that they included any talks about the sanctions. He went further and lied to Vice President Mike Pence on this issue leading Pence to publicly defend Mike Flynn.<br /><br />As questioning continued, Flynn continued to deny he had talked to the Russians about the sanctions during the transition period. However, a few days ago his story changed, and he then said, 'he may have misremembered the conversation and may have mentioned sanctions in his conversation with the ambassador.'<br /><br />Now, less that a month on the job, Mike Flynn has resigned. This puts him in the unique position of having been fired under one president's administration and forced to resign under another's. Flynn's future is cloudy. Most expect he will eventually end up in a conservative think tank where he can lie with impunity.<br /><br />We also know that the Trump administration knew about Flynn's problem at least two weeks ago when they were notified by former AG Yates, as well as, former intelligence heads like James Clapper.<br /><br />Questions remain...<br /><br />- Did the Trump administration know about this issue before being informed by AG Yates?<br /><br />- Given the unusual non-moves from the Russians when Obama instituted the latest sanctions, where there additional talks being held between the in incoming Trump administration and the Russians?<br /><br />As new calls for additional investigations continue and grow, we can be certain this story won't be going away any time soon.<br /><br />The Truism lives: The Cover-up is always worse than the Crime.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-83929039490731378102017-02-13T22:29:27.902-05:002017-02-13T22:29:27.902-05:00Whatever one may think of his politics I doubt Vic...Whatever one may think of his politics I doubt Vice President Pence deals drugs.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-65702158996680137412017-02-13T21:55:33.225-05:002017-02-13T21:55:33.225-05:00Nailed the turds Miami properties and his airplane...Nailed the turds Miami properties and his airplane.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-9262349100639566442017-02-13T21:39:20.896-05:002017-02-13T21:39:20.896-05:00The UN Security Council has strongly condemned Nor...<i>The UN Security Council has strongly condemned North Korea's ballistic missile launches and warned of "further significant measures" if Pyongyang does not stop nuclear and missile testing.<br /><br />...<br /><br />The firing of the latest missile was also a major challenge for the Trump administration, said George Lopez, an expert in economic sanctions and nuclear disarmament and a professor emeritus of peace studies at the University of Notre Dame.</i>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-57074355325932452232017-02-13T21:08:14.126-05:002017-02-13T21:08:14.126-05:00U.S. hits Venezuela VP for drug dealing in latest ...U.S. hits Venezuela VP for drug dealing in latest move against Maduro inner circle<br /><br />https://www.google.com/search?q=U.S.+hits+Venezuela+VP+for+drug+dealing+in+latest+move+against+Maduro+inner+circle&rlz=1CAACAO_enUS720US720&oq=U.S.+hits+Venezuela+VP+for+drug+dealing+in+latest+move+against+Maduro+inner+circle&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-8719893496048747162017-02-13T20:57:35.785-05:002017-02-13T20:57:35.785-05:00Greece could ditch EU currency for US DOLLAR....DR...<b>Greece could ditch EU currency for US DOLLAR....DRUDGE</b>Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-35929187035006237292017-02-13T20:15:56.623-05:002017-02-13T20:15:56.623-05:00The council also said, however, that the governmen...The council also said, however, that the government has the right to take the necessary steps to enact legislation to ensure the imposition of deterrent punishment against those who abstain from documenting the divorce or are remiss in it.<br /><br />The statement said the phenomenon of increasing divorce cases cannot be wiped out by conditioning the documenting or authentication, because the husband who belittles divorce will not be dissuaded by any conditions requiring him to stand before a Ma’azoun (public notary, marriage official) for divorce to take place.<br /><br />The statement read: “the correct treatment for this phenomenon is through the care of young people and their protection from all kinds of drugs, and in educating them through different media, art, culture and general knowledge.”<br /><br />Egyptian law currently grants a Muslim husband the right to divorce his wife in her absence and without her knowledge.

But if he says it three times, he cannot take her back until she marries another man, consummates that marriage, and is divorced in turn by her new husband.<br /><br />This is all based on the Qur’an: “Divorce is twice. Then, either keep her in an acceptable manner or release her with good treatment….And if he has divorced her for the third time, then she is not lawful to him afterward until she marries a husband other than him. And if the latter husband divorces her, there is no blame upon the woman and her former husband for returning to each other if they think that they can keep the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah, which He makes clear to a people who know.” (2:229-230)<br /><br />Several years ago, al-Sisi called for reform in Islam in a speech that was widely publicized internationally. Many hailed it as the dawning of a genuine Islamic reformation. This, however, is the real outcome.<br /><br /><br /><br />“Al-Azhar decision on verbal divorce came after ‘in-depth study’: senior scholar,” Egypt Independent, February 12, 2017:<br /><br />The statement from Al-Azhar senior scholars on verbal divorce came after a in-depth study, said advisor to the grand imam Mohamed Abdel Salam. He denied any disagreement or clash between Al-Azhar and the presidency over the matter.<br /><br />Abdel Salam added in a statement on Facebook: “Meetings over the past few days comprised scientifically profound debates among senior Egyptian scholars of different Islamic schools and jurisprudence regarding the issue of [verbal divorce]”.<br /><br />Scholars, headed by Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayyeb, unanimously agreed that verbal divorce in Islam is valid and divorce comes into effect once the husband verbally divorces his wife, without need to document it or have witnesses to the divorce, Abdel Salam said.<br /><br />He accused the media of attempting to draw a rift between the president and Al-Azhar through incorrect interpretations of the former’s statements.<br /><br />He also accused some media outlets of truncating parts of Al-Azhar scholars’ statement on verbal divorce, thus harming the overall meaning.<br /><br />In a statement, the Council of Senior Scholars, the top body of Al-Azhar Institution, said this is what Muslims settled upon since the time of Prophet Mohamed if it meets the set conditions of divorce in Islam.<br /><br />The decision comes against President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s call for restrictions against verbal divorce and for a new law tightening divorce procedures for Muslims last month. He directed this request to al-Tayyeb in a speech at a ceremony marking National Police Day.<br /><br />In clarifying its position, the council called upon the man who divorces his wife to document this divorce once it happens, in order to preserve the rights of the woman and the children.<br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-74112906220454451922017-02-13T20:10:01.793-05:002017-02-13T20:10:01.793-05:00National Heath Service prescribes Islam for mental...<b>National Heath Service prescribes Islam for mentally-ill Muslims</b><br />By Pamela Geller - on February 12, 2017<br /><br />This is tricky. Don’t most of the “mentally-ill” jihadis visit mosques shortly before committing atrocities? Islamic supremacists, Islamic apologists, law enforcement, government officials and enemedia elites insist Muslims who engage in jihad are “mentally ill” (the replacement narrative for “lone wolves”). That said, why would Islam be the prescription for mentally ill, psychotic Muslims? That sounds like a recipe for …. murder.<br /><br />“Traditionally, therapists have shied away from talking about religion as part of treatment – and can often see it as part of the illness….”<br /><br />Despite this, the UK’s National Health Service’s (NHS) prescription for mentally ill Muslim patients is Islam is part of its transmogrification into an Islamic state.<br /><br />Islam as a prescription for mental illness is the worst possible medicine.

Canada: ...New Feature<br /><br /><b><i>SMIRK Nit of the Day</i>:Canada</b><br /><br />Canada: Muslim leader calls for migrant sex assaults to be covered up<br /><br />FEBRUARY 12, 2017 7:32 AM BY CHRISTINE WILLIAMS <br /><br />The insertion of 2 words — Syrian refugee — completely changed the dimension of the story.<br /><br />What is CBC really trying to say and/or imply in its coverage of “a Syrian refugee” who has been “accused of sexual assaults on six Edmonton teenage girls”?<br /><br />The best defense against and prevention of any actual “anti-Muslim backlash” would be for Muslims to unite with society at large and demand the screening of refugees; but instead, Mohamed Huque, the executive director of the Islamic Family and Social Services Association, is stating that Muslim refugee sex attacks on women should be covered up, because he thinks the race or religion of the perpetrator is irrelevant. But it is very relevant when large numbers of people from one single group are choosing to practice what is a religious mandate in Islam, that women be covered up or invite sex attacks:<br /><br />(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.<br /><br />If a woman does not cover up, she is fair game to be assaulted:<br /><br />(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.<br /><br />Muslim leaders pretending that Muslims are the victims when Muslims commit crimes on a large scale must be exposed and opposed. Their verbal reprisals against those who resist jihadists and Islamic supremacists are getting more aggressive and hostile as their incursion into the West continues. The leftist media, meanwhile, is aiding and abetting this blame-shifting.<br /><br />Of course, “white people” and other non-Muslims commit sex crimes, too, but not on an the epidemic scale that we are seeing from Muslim migrants across Europe. It has been amply reported that the attacks are specifically against infidel women who need to cover up themselves to avoid such attacks, in accord with sharia norms.<br /><br />Contrary to the claims in the biased report below that racism is a factor in attitudes toward Syrian refugees, exacerbated by the “alt-right,” the opponents of the refugee influx are concerned not about race, but about the lack of screening that has resulted in chaos across Europe, as well as about the failure to protect Western citizens from being victimized by those Muslim migrants who are unwilling to assimilate.<br /><br />David Tait, a professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, who has taught ethics courses of all subjects at the journalism school, asks:<br /><br />My question would be, would we have run additional background details about this person if they were a gay man? A gun owner? If they were Jewish? If they were a fundamentalist Christian? If they were a recent arrival from the United States? If they were any number of other identifiers?<br /><br />The answer to Tait’s question is no; neither would such checks be needed if the alleged perpetrator were Chinese, Japanese or Hindu. Tait makes the Syrian migrant crisis out to be about “white people” versus visible minorities, which it is not.
