I’ve written plenty over the years about the dumb, selfish American women who marry Muslim men because they put their desperation for a penis over what’s good for America and our future generations.  Many of these women are stupid shills for Muslims seeking green cards.  Others are factories for anchor babies.  And still others are factories for a growing Muslim population.  It seems that Melissa Bender, mother of Jesse Bender, is all three of these things and more.  Her thirteen-year-old American daughter was forced to run away to avoid the price of being the progeny of an Islamic sperm donor and a horrible American mother who was complicit in the Islamic father’s plan to marry her off in an arranged marriage.

Jesse Bender, Age 13, Ran Away When Mom Tried to Send Her to Arranged Marriage by Muslim Dad in Pakistan

The daughter, Jesse Bender, has been found in hiding with relatives who tried to shield her from the Muslim arranged marriage in Pakistan.  And get a load of how mommy dearest, Melissa, was complicit in the plan and lied to police and the FBI, claiming her daughter ran away with an online predator, rather than tell authorities the real reason her daughter fled–to avoid being sent to Pakistan to be married off at age thirteen to some extremist Muslim stranger.  Yup, a nationwide manhunt with wasted resources because Mommy didn’t want to tell the truth about how she was complicit in this sickening Muslim plan.  So much for the assimilation of Islam into the West.

HESPERIA, Calif. — Investigators who spent more than a week searching for a 13-year-old girl her family feared had run away with someone she met online found her unharmed in a hotel Wednesday, where she said she had been hiding to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage in Pakistan.

Jesse Bender was taken into child protective custody as authorities decide whether to recommend filing charges against her family, San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said.

No arrests have been made. A call to the Bender family home in the desert city of Hesperia went unanswered late Wednesday.

Jesse’s mother reported her missing on Feb. 22, telling authorities that her daughter was upset about having to go on a two-month vacation to her father’s native Pakistan, Bachman said.

Several days later, Melissa Bender told investigators she was worried her daughter ran off with someone she had been communicating with on Facebook. Her statement launched a nationwide kidnapping investigation by the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, and multiple law enforcement agencies fearful that the girl was with an Internet predator.

Detectives served several search warrants and the investigation reached as far as Chicago because the mother believed the person who befriended her daughter on Facebook lived there.

“All that information was misleading,” Bachman said. “Whoever she was communicating with online was not a threat to her.”

As detectives began to focus on the Bender family, they learned that a relative was hiding Jessie in the nearby town of Apple Valley out of fear that she would be taken to Pakistan. That relative led detectives to the hotel early Wednesday.

Jesse’s three siblings were also taken into child protective custody pending the completion of the investigation, Bachman said.

“All of the information that was obtained by investigators will be sent to the district attorney’s office for review, I’m sure they’ll make some sort of recommendation,” Bachman said.

Let’s hope Melissa Bender is fully prosecuted and put behind bars for many years. That’s the only place for any mother who would do this to her daughter.

And, sadly, as I’ve repeatedly written, there are many more like her on American soil, many American women who care nothing about what’s right for America, what’s right for their children, and what’s right, period. They care only about themselves and their Muslim sex partners.

“Religion of peace” . . . and being forced into marriage to strangers in Pakistan at age 13.

LAHORE, Pakistan, March 2 (CDN) —
Unidentified gunmen in Islamabad today shot dead Federal Minister for Minority Affairs Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan’s only cabinet-level Christian and an outspoken critic of the country’s widely condemned “blasphemy” laws.


Suspected Islamic extremists from Pakistan’s Taliban and al Qaeda reportedly left a letter at the scene saying those who try to change Pakistan’s blasphemy laws would be killed. The murder comes two months after Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer was killed by his bodyguard for supporting Asia Noreen (also known as Asia Bibi), the first Christian woman sentenced to death in Pakistan on blasphemy charges.


The assailants sprayed 25 to 30 bullets at Bhatti’s car after he came out of his mother’s home in a residential area of the Pakistani capital to attend a meeting of the federal cabinet. The federal government had provided bodyguards for Bhatti, but they were not present at the time of the attack.


A letter found at the scene, purportedly from Pakistani Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists, claimed responsibility for the killing. Police sources said the letter found at the murder site accused Bhatti of waging a campaign to amend the blasphemy law.


“Bhatti, a Christian, was in charge of a committee set up to amend the law against blasphemy,” the letter stated. “This is his fate. We will not spare anybody involved in acts of blasphemy.”


Police are investigating the letter’s authenticity.


Islamabad Police Chief Wajid Durrani said three or four armed men in a white Suzuki car intercepted Bhatti’s official vehicle.


“The attackers were clad in shawls and fired bursts on him, killing him instantly,” Durrani said.


Bhatti, a 42-year-old bachelor, was dead on arrival at Islamabad’s Shifa Hospital, according to Dr. Azmatullah Qureshi.


Durrani insisted that Bhatti had been provided with proper security but said the minister was not accompanied by his bodyguards when the attack happened at around 11 a.m.


“The squad officer told me that the minister had directed him to wait for him at his office,” Durrani claimed. “He used to often visit his mother’s house without a squad.”


Bhatti’s driver, Gul Sher, told police at least one gunman had taken part in the attack.


“A white car stopped near us at a crossing,” said Gul, who was slightly injured in the shootout. “Four people were sitting in the car. One of them got out with a Kalashnikov ... He came in front of the car and opened fire. I ducked. Minister died on the spot.”


Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani visited the hospital and offered condolences to Bhatti’s grieving relatives.


“Such acts will not deter the government’s resolve to fight terrorism and extremism,” he said.


A senior TV anchorperson, however, told Compass by phone from Islamabad that the late minister had expressed dissatisfaction over the security provided to him by the Islamabad police.


“Bhatti told me that he had repeatedly asked the government to provide him a house in the high-security Red Zone area of the federal capital, where most of the government ministers have been provided accommodation, but he was told there was no vacant house at the moment and he would have to wait,” said the TV journalist.


Bhatti had defied death threats after the Jan. 4 assassination of Taseer, conceding in several interviews at the time that he was “the highest target right now” but vowing to continue his work and trusting his life to God.


Last month, in an interview with The Christian Post, Bhatti said he had received threats.
 
“I received a call from the Taliban commander and he said, ‘If you will bring any changes in the blasphemy law and speak on this issue, then you will be killed,’” Bhatti told the newspaper. “I don’t believe that bodyguards can save me after the assassination [of Taseer]. I believe in the protection from heaven.”


In a recent interview with the BBC, Bhatti had said he was “ready to die for a cause” as a Christian.


“I am living for my community and suffering people, and I will die to defend their rights,” he said. “These threats and warnings cannot change my opinion and principles.”


Bhatti was born on Sept. 9, 1968 in Lahore, Punjab. He joined the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in 2002 and was elected a Member of the National Assembly on a reserved seat for minorities. He was made Federal Minister for Minorities in 2008 and again included in the federal cabinet with the same portfolio last month, making him the first Christian to take charge of the ministry.


Bhatti also received the International Religious Freedom Award for rendering services to the Christian community, becoming the first Pakistani to receive this award.


Controversy over the controversial legislation flared both within Pakistan and internationally after Asia Noreen, a mother of two and step-mother to three others, was convicted and sentenced to death last year for blaspheming against Islam’s prophet Muhammad.


Politicians and radical clerics in Pakistan have been at loggerheads over whether Noreen should be pardoned. But following Taseer’s death, the government made it clear it does not support reform of the blasphemy law.


Amir Rana, director at the Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies, said the attack was not unexpected.


“This kind of attack was expected after the government’s response to Governor Taseer’s assassination,” Rana said. “Because of the government’s very weak response ... it has encouraged the hardliners in society.”


Napolean Qayyum, a leader of the Minorities Wing of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party, appealed to President Asif Zardari, who is also the co-chairman of the PPP, to fulfill his promise of giving the minorities their “due rights” and protection from extremist elements.


“For centuries the Christians have been supporting Muslims in their time of need, but we are still being marginalized and persecuted for our faith,” Qayyum said.


Asif Aqeel, executive director of the Community Development Initiative, an affiliate of the European Center for Law and Justice, said Bhatti was a hero for the Pakistani Christian community.


“We salute his valor and courage for standing against extremism and terrorism, unarmed and only equipped with his ideal of freedom and human dignity,” Aqeel said. “We are thoroughly indebted to his service to Pakistan and the Christian community. His death has shown how little space is left for argument and for religious minorities, who are seen as a foreign element in this ‘land of pure.’”


Condemnations also flowed in from around the world, calling for more protection for the religious minorities in Pakistan.


The Vatican joined the Anglican Church, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, and Archbishop of York John Sentamu in condemning the incident.


“This further instance of sectarian bigotry and violence will increase anxiety worldwide about the security of Christians and other religious minorities in Pakistan,” they said in a statement issued to Pakistani media.

Statement at UN on Religious Freedom

Amplify’d from www.americamagazine.org
Author: Kevin Clarke

Archbishop Silvano M. Tomasi, the Permanent Representative of the Holy See to the United Nations and Other International Organizations in Geneva issued a statement on the requirement of religious freedom that is especially pertinent in light of the assassination March 1 of Pakistani Minorities Minister Shahbaz Bhatti. Archbishop Silvano points out: "Religious strife is a danger to social, political, and economic development. Religious conflict polarizes society, breaking the bonds necessary for social life and commerce to flourish. It produces violence, which robs people of the most fundamental right of all, the right to life."

He says, "The State has the duty to defend the right to freedom of religion and it has therefore the responsibility to create an environment where this right can be enjoyed." States, he adds, have "an ethical and legal obligation to uphold and make applicable the right to freedom of religion or conviction both because it is a fundamental human right, and because it is its duty to defend the rights of its citizens and to seek the welfare of society."

The archbishop's complete statement follows: 

Mr. President,

1.- At the heart of fundamental human rights is freedom of religion, conscience and belief: it affects personal identity and basic choices and it makes possible the enjoyment of other human rights. As the UN Declaration on the Elimination of Religious Discrimination recognises, the spiritual dimension of life is a vital part of human existence.[1] But  an increased proliferation of episodes of discrimination and acts of violence against persons and communities of faith and places of worship in  several different geographical regions of the world denies in practice the principle proclaimed in law. Religious strife is a danger to social, political, and economic development. Religious conflict polarizes society, breaking the bonds necessary for social life and commerce to flourish. It produces violence, which robs people of the most fundamental right of all, the right to life. And it sows seeds of distrust and bitterness that can be passed down through the generations. Often impunity and media neglect follow such tragedies. A recent survey shows that out of 100 people killed because of religious hatred, 75 are Christian[2]. That concentration of religious discrimination should cause concern to all of us. But the Holy See’s purpose  in this intervention is to reaffirm the importance of the right to freedom of religion for all individuals, for all communities of faith, and for every society, in all parts of the world.

2.- The State has the duty to defend the right to freedom of religion and it has therefore the responsibility to create an environment where this right can be enjoyed. As stated in the Declaration on Religious Discrimination and elsewhere, the State has to fulfil several duties in the everyday functioning of society. For example, the State must not practice religious discrimination -- in its laws, in its policies, or by allowing de facto discrimination by public employees. It must promote religious tolerance and understanding throughout society, a goal that can be achieved if educational systems teach respect for all and judicial systems are impartial in the implementation of laws and reject political pressure  aimed at ensuring impunity for perpetrators of human rights crimes against followers of particular religion. The State should support all initiatives aimed at promoting dialogue and mutual respect between religious communities. It must enforce its laws that fight against religious discrimination -- vigorously, and without selectivity.  The State must provide physical security to religious communities under attack. It must encourage majority populations to enable religious minorities to practice their faith individually and in community without threat or hindrance. The State must have laws that require employers to make “reasonable accommodations” for an employee’s religion.

3.- Freedom of religion is a value for society as a whole. The State that protects this right enables society to benefit from the social consequences that come with it: peaceful coexistence, national integration in today’s pluralistic situations, increased creativity as the talents of everyone are placed at the service of the common good. On the other hand, the negation of religious freedom undermines any democratic aspiration, favours oppression, and stifles the whole society that eventually explodes with tragic results. From this angle as well it is clear that freedom of religion and conviction is complementary and intrinsically linked to freedom of opinion, expression and assembly. Besides, an environment of real freedom of religion becomes the best medicine to prevent the manipulation of religion for political purposes of power grabbing and power maintenance and for the oppression of dissenters and of different faith communities or religious minorities. In fact, religious discrimination and strife are rarely, if ever, solely the product of differences in religious opinions and practices. Below the surface are social and political problems.

4.- To reap the social benefits of religious freedom specific measures need to be devised that allow the practical exercise of this right to flourish. Mr. President, I would like to highlight some measures at the U.N. level. The Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion could be invited regularly to include information on persecution of religious groups. It would be helpful if the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner of Human Rights were to monitor the situation of governmental and societal restrictions on religious freedom and report annually to the Human Rights Council. Article 20 of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights[3], which pertains to advocacy of religious hatred that incites religious discrimination, raises important questions, such as the relation between various rights, and about the best ways to achieve legitimate aims. Blasphemy laws are a case in point. The workshops mandated to study Article 20, and to propose good practices, are a step in the right direction.

5.- I will conclude, Mr. President, by calling attention to three false perceptions surrounding freedom of religion and belief. In the first place, the right to express or practice one’s religion is not limited to acts of worship. It also includes the right to express one’s faith through acts of charitable and social service. For example, providing health and education through religious institutions are important ways for people to live their faith.[4] Second, faith communities have their own rules for qualifications for religious office, and for serving in religious institutions, including charitable facilities. These religious institutions are part of civil society, and not branches of the state. Consequently, the limits that international human rights law places on States regarding qualifications on state office holding and public service do not apply automatically to non-state actors. As acknowledged by the Declaration on Religious Discrimination, freedom of religion entails the right of a religious community to set its own qualifications.[5] Religious tolerance includes respecting differences of opinions in these matters, and respecting the difference between a state and a religious institution. And finally, there is a fear that respecting the freedom to choose and practice another religion, different from one’s own, is based on a premise that all truth is relative and that one’s religion is no longer absolutely valid. That is a misunderstanding. The right to adopt, and to change, a religion is based on  respect for human dignity: the State must allow each person to freely search for the truth.

6.-  Mr President, the State has an ethical and legal obligation to uphold and make applicable the right to freedom of religion or conviction both because it is a fundamental human right, and because it is its duty to defend the rights of its citizens and to seek the welfare of society. As His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI stated in addressing the diplomatic corps, religious freedom is “the fundamental path to peace. Peace is built and preserved only when human beings can freely seek and serve God in their hearts, in their lives and in their relationships with others.”[6]

[1] Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief, General Assembly Res. 36/55  (1981); e.g., fourth  preambular paragraph.

[2] Cfr.,  Aid to the Church in Need, Religious Freedom in the World – Report 2010; Conference Persecution of Christians organized by the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community, the European Parliamentary Groups of the European People’s Party and the European Conservatives and Reformist’s Group on October 10, 2011 . 

[3] Article 20 : “1.Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law. 2, Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.”

[4] See, for example, Article 6(b), Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief.

[5] Article 6(g), Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief.

Here's the UN Declaration on the Elimination of Religious Discrimination:

http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/3b00f02e40.html

In the end, this is all just lawyer talk, which has practical applications only when and if and as politicians choose to use it.

'A recent survey shows that out of 100 people killed because of religious hatred, 75 are Christian[2]. That concentration of religious discrimination should cause concern to all of us.'  (Paragraph 1)

Indeed.  Realistically, though, words like 'right', 'duty', 'must', 'obligation', and 'responsibility' are essentially political.  If A says B has a right but C disagrees, you have a problem solvable only by some kind of force.

The suggestions in paragraph 4 could be useful.  This seems to be the only practical part of the document.

Paragraph 5 is worth reading, though I imagine many UN people would have very different opinions from that of Tomasi.  Until very recently, some of the sentiments expressed there would have been out of sync with reality even in Europe.

Wisconsin Republicans Threaten Dems

Wisconsin Republicans Threaten Apprehension of Missing DemsThe labor standoff in Wisconsin over Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to eliminate public workers' collective bargaining rights just took an exciting new turn. The state's Senate Republicans voted unanimously a short while ago ordering Senate Democrats to return from their out-of-state hiding spots to Madison by 4:00 p.m.


The Senate also voted for a "call of the house," which is the mechanism used to compel senators to return to the chamber.


That means the Senate sergeant at arms can "with or without force" and with or without the help of any law enforcement officers in the state to take them into custody and bring them to the state Capitol.


Finally, the potential for some senator/cop hand-on-hand combat. The problem with Senate Republicans' plan, though, is the same basic problem they've had all along: Democrats have fled the state, making it hard for Wisconsin law enforcement officers to apprehend them. Then again, some of the 14 Democrats have been rumored to sneak into their Wisconsin homes from time to time. They should stop doing that, since police officers will probably be at each of their homes after 4:00 today with the legal authority to get handsy.

This ultimatum doesn't appear to be scaring Democrats into rushing back, though. State Sen. Chris Larson tweeted shortly after the news, "...and Senate Republicans have officially gone 'round the bend. Next up, dropping puppies from the top of the Capitol onto protestors." You mean that hasn't happened yet?

Body-Scan Pedestrians, Train Passengers

Documents Reveal TSA Research Proposal To Body-Scan Pedestrians, Train Passengers

Giving Transportation Security Administration agents a peek under your clothes may soon be a practice that goes well beyond airport checkpoints. Newly uncovered documents show that as early as 2006, the Department of Homeland Security has been planning pilot programs to deploy mobile scanning units that can be set up at public events and in train stations, along with mobile x-ray vans capable of scanning pedestrians on city streets.

The non-profit Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) on Wednesday published documents it obtained from the Department of Homeland Security showing that from 2006 to 2008 the agency planned a study of of new anti-terrorism technologies that EPIC believes raise serious privacy concerns. The projects range from what the DHS describes as “a walk through x-ray screening system that could be deployed at entrances to special events or other points of interest” to “covert inspection of moving subjects” employing the same backscatter imaging technology currently used in American airports.

The 173-page collection of contracts and reports, acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request, includes contracts with Siemens Corporations, Northeastern University, and Rapiscan Systems. The study was expected to cost more than $3.5 million.

One project allocated to Northeastern University and Siemens would mount backscatter x-ray scanners and video cameras on roving vans, along with other cameras on buildings and utility poles, to monitor groups of pedestrians, assess what they carried, and even track their eye movements. In another program, the researchers were asked to develop a system of long range x-ray scanning to determine what metal objects an individual might have on his or her body at distances up to thirty feet.

“This would allow them to take these technologies out of the airport and into other contexts like public streets, special events and ground transit,” says Ginger McCall, an attorney with EPIC. “It’s a clear violation of the fourth amendment that’s very invasive, not necessarily effective, and poses all the same radiation risks as the airport scans.”

Euthanized Oklahoma puppy, Wall-E, rises from 'dead,' now looking to be adopted by loving family

By Michael Sheridan

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Three-month-old puppy named Wall-E was euthanized on Saturday, but found alive again on Sunday.

PetFinder.com

Three-month-old puppy named Wall-E was euthanized on Saturday, but found alive again on Sunday.

A puppy euthanized by veterinarians has risen from the "dead."

The black-and-white pooch was one of five young dogs "put to sleep" Saturday at a shelter in Sulphur, Okla., News 9 in Oklahoma City reported. Each dog was checked and confirmed to be dead, then the 3-month-old and his four siblings were placed in a trash bin.

On Sunday morning, an animal control officer looked into the bin and discovered that the one pup somehow survived.

"He was just as healthy as could be," Scott Prall told News 9.

The puppies were selected to be euthanized because of illness, as well as overcrowding due to limited shelter space in the state, said Amanda Kloski, a veterinarian in Oklahoma who has been caring for the puppy since his resurrection.

Kloski created a PetFinder.com profile for the small dog, named Wall-E after the Pixar film character. A woman in Pennsylvania then took up the cause, working to find the puppy a home.

"He is a delightful Pup, about 3 months old, is surprisingly healthy except for a heavy infestation of Hookworm for which he is undergoing treatment," Marcia Machtiger wrote in a special website she created for the animal.

She stresses that if a home for Wall-E isn't found soon, he could wind up back at the shelter -- where he very well might end up being euthanized again.

However, Kloski writes that "hundreds" of families already have volunteered to give Wall-E a place to live.

"We have NEVER had the problem (or BLESSING) of more than one family wishing to adopt a dog," she wrote on PetFinder. "Most of our dogs do not get this chance or opportunity even ONCE."

If you're interested in possibly adopting Wall-E, you can contact Machtiger at MGMmachtiger@netzero.com.
