Post of the Month

BerberElla: My journey out of the abyss.

The Muslim reaction to 9/11 figures into it.

I remember the day the twin towers fell, I was pregnant with child number two, and he [the husband] phoned me overly excited about something, telling me to hurry and put the news on, which I did. What brought him great joy was the death of thousands of people, he was cheering down the phone. He told me to get around to his parents house, and I hurried, as I did not want to be punished for not obeying fast enough. When I arrived the house was full of well wishers and neighbours all over to celebrate the destruction of the twin towers.

Wow I was not prepared for such a long article, but had to read the whole thing once I got started. Sadly, I don't think this story is all that uncommon. I have two daughters and it is incomprehensible to think of treating them this way. It's also terrible to see all of the Western schools, social workers, police, courts etc standing idly by while this happens. Thanks.
