Gendercide

Aasiya wanted out. As in all marriages of this sort, it had been arranged, and she lived behind closed doors. Her neighbors didn’t know what she suffered. When they found out it was too late. Her husband was the charismatic Founder of Bridges TV in Buffalo, NY. He beheaded his wife personally.

It is clearly established that gendercide is normal in certain regions, but it is sobering to see it increasing in the West. Ahmad stabbed his 16 year old sister to death in a German parking lot one beautiful May. Amer poured gasoline over his girlfriend and set her on fire for refusing to marry him in Paris.  LA resident, Muhammed tortured his children. His three wives were so terrified it took years before one was brave enough to ask for help. His 19 year old daughter was trapped in the garage and weighed 48 pounds by then. Sania was treated like a slave - in an arranged marriage. A diplomat in NY spent a day beating, choking, slapping, and throwing his 22 year old wife downstairs.

The one universal element in each of these cases was that the men were M^slim. They have brought their culture to the West and applied it. In each of these cases, the 'Good Report' is that the law in the West - so far - defends the rights of these women. The men were viewed as the criminals and are facing charges.  But there are certain areas in Europe where Islam is beginning to affect the judgments of the courts.

This is truly sobering, as the reality behind the veil is terrifying. In Saudi Arabia a woman committed the crime of accepting a ride from a man. She was therefore gang raped, which resulted in a pregnancy. The local judge has condemned her to 100 lashes and a year in prison for the crime of adultery. Islamic clerics teach openly that women are to blame in cases of rape. It goes back to which God decrees this behavior. Gendercide is growing. When there is a religious precedent for abuse, permission is not only granted, there are no deterrence to gender abuse.

Join us in praying that domestic violence ends in homes - through the active love of Jesus. This is the only proven deterrent to gendercide.
