Is religion the wource of all evil?
Read the following few paragraphs, it makes you wonder....
1.1 VEDIC FEMALE INFANTICIDE The horrible custom of female infanticide was widely practiced by the barbaric Vedic Aryan tribes who invaded India. It is these Vedic nomads who introduced this depravity into India. The Vedas prescribe an intense hatred for women, and female children were considered highly undesirable in the nomadic Aryan patriarchal view. Indeed, so deep-rooted was the desire for male children that the Vedas prescribe numerous prayers for male offspring : Atharva Veda.6.2.3 : " Let a female child be born somewhere else; here, let a male child be born." -- [ Ath.Ved.VI.2.3 ] [ cf. Peri ] These verses were recited whenever an Aryan couple wished to have a child, and display considerable discrimination against women even in the Vedic age. Nor does the `wonderful' treatment of women in Vedic religion end here. The `holy' and `great' Vedas explicitly sanction the practice of female infanticide. Indeed, the real reason for this truly animal practice lies deep in the blood-stained verses of the Vedas. The following verse, from the `sacred' Vedas of the `noble' faith of Hinduism, allows the practice, and takes it for granted as a normal practice in Vedic religion : Taittirya Samhita VI.5.10.3 : " Hence they [ Aryans ] reject a female child when born, and take up a male." < Sans. " Tasmat striyam jatam parasyanti ut pumamsam haranti " > -- [ Taitt.Samh.VI.5.10.3 ] [ Muir I 26 ] What `sweet' verses from the Vedas, the holy guide-book for all Hindus ! No wonder women were not allowed to read these heaps of male chauvinist filth ! Indeed, there are several reasons for the practice of female infanticide during the Vedic Dark Age (1500 BC - 500 BC) of the Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 1000 AD), all of which can be traced back to Vedic barbarism : The large dowries prescribed by the Vedas (see later chapters) implied that female children were solely seen as an economic burden. Such was the state of madness inflicted by the Brahmins that a single female marriage, even today, can ruin an ordinary middle-class family. Obliterating female children was thus a convenient way of alleviating financial ruin in the Vedic period. Women were of little use to the Aryan war-tribes. Hence, their numbers were reduced in order to maintain the high effectiveness of the Aryan war-machine. These are the `wonderful' truths about the `most spiritual' religion of Hinduism. The inhuman Hindu female infanticide is not due to any `corruption', but is fully sanctioned by the core of Hindu religious scriptures - the Vedas. This is the truth about the `wonderful' religion of Hinduism. 1.2 LATER BRAHMANIC FEMALE INFANTICIDE The custom of Vedic female infanticide continued during the Sutric (500 BC - 200 AD) and Puranic Dark Ages (200 AD - 1000 AD) of the Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 1000 AD). During this era, the Brahmins consolidated the power they had obtained during the Vedic Dark Age to the height of Absolutism. Any custom which could eat away at the foundations of non-Brahmin peoples was utilised by the Brahmins in order to consolidate their tyranny over the subject populations. Infanticide was one such method which helped preserve Brahminist power, and the population was hence brainwashed with the `holy' Vedas, which prescribe this beastly practice. There were several other reasons why the Brahmins cruelly enforced Vedic female infanticide : The Brahmin race has always feared being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of non-Brahmins. Hence they resorted to the harshest means imaginable to curtail non-Brahmin reproduction. To this extent, the Brahmins divided Indian nations into mutually warring factions by means of casteism, enforced the vile customs of sati, hijrahism, devadasism and above all, spread the poison of female infanticide into the veins of the populace. Female infanticide rotted away at the very roots of the non-Brahmin races, many of which disappeared from the face of the Earth. The Indo-Greeks, Bactrians, Panchalas, Koshalas and Saurasenas are only some of the non-Brahmins races exterminated by the Brahmins using various forms of social degenration which included female infanticide. The shortage of women led to unending wars amongst non-Brahmins for the remaining women. This is amply demonstrated in Rajasthan, where the Brahmin-enforced female infanticide led to male-female ratios of 10:1. As a result, a never-ending series of wars over women devastated the Scythic Rajputs for several centuries. Sessodia fought Chauhan, Kacchwaha fought Bundela and father fought son in fratricidal warfare which reduced Rajasthan to the desert it now is. Had the Rajputs instead tackled the real cause for all their wars and suffering, namely the Brahmins and the Brahmin-inflicted customs of female infanticde and sati, this suffering would not have occurred. Thus, the `holy' texts of the Vedas sanction apartheid and mass murder of baby girls. The magnitude of this circumstance is staggering: as long as the Vedas are followed, there shall exist immense hardships for women, and the mass murder of children shall continue since these are all prescribed in these `sacred' texts. Since such passages cannot be deleted in modern times, nor can the Vedas be modified, it hence follows that that all Indian feminists must fight against any and all forms of Vedic religion. Unless they do so, Indian women shall forever remain enslaved to Vedic tyranny. 1.3 POISONING, BURIAL AND SUFFOCATION OF INFANT GIRLS The manner in which the bigoted Brahmins prescribed death for female infants is especially heart-rending. Often, the parents would be forced to cut up the child and then feed the flesh to animals. Othertimes, the child would be smothered by the midwife. Vivekananda himself refers to a painting showing a Hindu woman throwing her children into the Ganges crocodiles which was widely distributed in the West. The `brave' Rajputs would often have to throw up the baby girl, and chop her up with unsheathed swords as she fell. As a result of Brahmin brain-washing, the Rajputs considered it brave to kill their own female children ! No wonder Sanskrit, the language of the `learned' Brahmanas, has not even a single word for chivalry or virtue ! Nor has it stopped here. The Brahmins have perverted modern technology to develop a new variety of female infanticide, namely female foeticide, which is now spreading rapidly in Brahmin-Occupied India. In Tamil Nadu it is now resorted to, in addition to the time-tested methods of starvation, burial of live children and suffocation [ Tam ]. The latter methods appear natural and thus allow the mother to circumvent the law, whilst the more new-fangled hi-tech methods are technically illegal. These laws on paper are the result of Ambedkar's law-making : the Brahmins opposed any legislation against female infanticide. However, the Brahmins have made sure that these laws are not enforced. This was the experience of Malli, a Tamil woman, describing how her child had been murdered : " She knew someone may have already inserted a grain into her daughter's mouth, or fed her yerakkam pal [ poison ], or may have drowned her in a bucket of water." [ Shobha ] This story clearly shows how the poison of Brahmanism has been at work in Tamil Nadu, spreading the vice of female infanticide which involves the cruellest methods of putting the child to death. Smothering, poisoning and violent means are not eshewed in this quest for Kautilyan dominance over an alien people. 1.4 ANGLO-BRAHMIN ERA & FEMALE INFANTICIDE The Brahmins have always betrayed India to the foreign inveders, whom they helped in order to maintain their vicious grip on the native populations. One need only remember the Brahmin Kautilya who engineered the Greek invasions of India through his protege Candragupta and the resulting conspiracy with Alexander the Great. The devastating Hun, Parthian, Islamic and Scythic invasions were all engineered by the Brahmins. True to their tradition, these traitors also collaborated with the English to enslave the Indians. The English legalised the fierce persecution of Malayali Moplahs by their Brahmin overlords, which led to the Moplah Rebellion. Similarly , the English Aryans connived with the Brahmin Aryans in the mass murder of millions of female children. Thus, as expected, female infanticide actually spread during British rule, and is still on the increase. This is evident from the following figures, which show a drastic decrease in the number of children during the Anglo-Brahmin colonial era : Number of females per 1000 males 1901 972 1931 950 1981 934 --- [ Ox.64 ] In the neo-Brahminist Government of India, the genocide of women continues at full pace. Fully one-tenth of each generation of females is exterminated due to Hindu laws. Indeed, during the first 50 years of Independance, more than 50 million girls have been killed in India [ Verma ]. 1.5 NEO-BRAHMANIST FEMALE INFANTICIDE Following the bloody Aryan conquest of the Sudric nations of South India, the Aryan Brahmins utilised every conceivable means in order to eat away at the very backbone of the Dravidian race. Horrible practices like hijrahism, sati, enforcement of Vedic apartheid, Vedic human sacrifice (purushamedha) and female infanticide were used to oppress the native Dravidoids. The instilling of hatred against women in the masses was the direct result of the enforcement of the Aryan Vaishnava religion upon the Shaiva masses. The genocide of girls was institutionalised by the cunning Brahmins among certain sections of the Tamil population, whence this cancer spread throughout the veins of the Dravidian race. The following quotation refers to the survival of Brahmin-inflicted female infantcide amongst the Kallar clan of Dravidians : " For a long time in a small hamlet, "Usilampatti", of the Madurai District of Tamil Nadu, India, a tribe called "Kallar" has dominated. "Kallar" means robbers, pirates, marauders, as they were in the past. There was even a Dept. in the local government called The Kallar Reclamation Dept., which was designed to reeducate them, as a backward "class". But their numbers spread in Southern District's of Tamil Nadu. A common feature is the practice of female infanticide. They tolerate a first born female baby, but not a second, because they cannot afford it. Both men and women agree that due to economic deprivation and social conditions, and having to marry girls means giving a dowry and jewels plus incurring the expenses of the marriage feasts, it is impossible to bring up a girl baby. Until girls mature they can be of some help at home or help producing food. However, leaving an unmarried adult woman at home is dangerous, and the work place is also considered unsafe. Therefore they poison the female babies soon after birth with a poison mixed with milk, or a milk-like juice from a shrub - madder juice, and the babies die due to nausea and diarrhoea. If they do not kill them, they may simply abandon the baby at a government hospital after giving a fictional address. " [ Kurian ] The origin of these practices can be clearly attributed to Brahminist brain-washing : " The Kallar were once a proud warrior tribe, but under British rule were relegated to the status of mere thieves and forced to report daily to British officials... There is widespread belief that if a girl is killed then the next baby will be a boy and if two girls are killed consecutively then the next baby will definitely be a boy. Some people name their girls Vendam which means 'unwanted' or Podum meaning enough." -- [ Kidd ] These Brahminist practices continue to gnaw at the backbone of the Dravidian people, keeping them weak and internally divided. As per the Modern Rationalist, the practice of infanticide is rapidly spreading in Brahmin-Occupied Tamil Nadu: " NNMR (deaths occurring within 7 days of a child's birth) have risen from 33.8 % in 1971 to over 39% for the current year. According to Alternate India Development (AID), an NGO, there is strong evidence that female infanticide is one of the reasons for the increasing trend in neonatal deaths. However, instances of infanticide even after six months to one year have been recorded. Indeed, the decreasing IMR does not tell the whole story! " [ Van ] The Dravidian movement has thus failed in its objective of liberating the Dravidians from the clutches of Brahmanism. The main reason is that Brahmins survived in other parts of south Asia, allowing them to restore their tyrannic hold over Tamil Nadu once the initial wave of localised anti-Brahmanism had past. This has been the time-tested strategy of the Brahmins, and draws strength from the main advantage the Brahmins possess over the other races of India; namely their thin dispersal over vast regions. The only method of solving the eternal Brahmin problem of South Asia is the simultaneous destruction of Brahmanism all across the region. If the Brahmin curse is not completely extinguished, it shall quietly survive until the danger is past, and then suddenly revive like the plague to re-infest the veins of the peoples of Asia with even deadlier forms of venom. 1.6 PERVERSION OF SCIENCE FOR NEO-BRAHMANIC FEMALE INFANTICIDE In the modern age, the Brahmins have perverted modern science, and transformed it into another method for the mass murder of non-Brahmin races. This innovation involves the scanning of non-Brahmin foetuses for females, followed by the utlisation of medicine to destroy these female babies. This evil, put to such deadly effect in Tamil Nadu, has been spread by the Brahmins into the lungs of the Sikh people. Thus, Sikhs have started to condemn the spread of this ugly Brahminist practice : " Most Respected Sri Singh Sahib Jee, Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh! The medical tool of "Ultra Sound," commonly used to determine the gender of the fetus, has brought in a very cruel social evil of Female Infanticide into our culture. The female fetuses are being aborted right after their Ultra Sound detection. Unfortunately this social evil is viewed by those who undergo this procedure as well as by those who perform it, as "Just another medical procedure." [ Takht ] Needless to say, the doctors performing this operation are mostly Brahmins, while the murdered girls are mostly non-Brahmin Sikhs. This system is merely part of the overall Brahmin strategy of exterminating Sikhs. Similar situations exist all over India where Brahmins destroy non-Brahmin foetuses. 1.7 BRAHMINS KILL 1 MILLION GIRLS ANNUALLY The true extent of the Brahminist destruction of non-Brahmin races must be objectively quantified in order to be comprehended completely. In 1921 there were more than 97 women for every 100 men in India. Seventy years later, the number had dropped to 92.7 [ Verma ]. These figures, benign at first sight, conceal an ugly truth. Given that the birth rate of India is 32.0 per 1000 and the total population of India is 835.8 milion [ EB-90.635 ], this implies an annual total of 26.7 million births, out of which 13.4 million would be girls. Given that the present sex ratio is 92/100, which implies that 8/100 girls are killed, this leads to 0.008 x 13.4 million = 1.072 million deaths. That means that 1.1 million girls are killed each year due to the Brahmin-enforced customs of Vedic female infanticide . This is the ugly truth behind the figure of 92 girls for every hundred boys. Sonali Verma writes about the true extent of damage inflicted by Brahmins on women: " A recent United Nations report said up to 50 million girls and women were missing from India's population , the result of systematic sex discrimination extending to the abortion of female foetuses." - [ Verma ] This annihilation of 50 million children, mostly by violent means after childbirth, has occurred during the last 50 years of India's Independance, and confirms the estimate of 1 million girls murdered by Brahmins each year for the last 50 years. It is to be noted that Hitler, one of the greatest mass murderers of all times, exterminated only 5 million Jews. The Brahmin mass murder of 50 million female children in the 20th century has thus been TEN TIMES more severe than the Jewish Holocaust . And the killing continues. 1.8 200 MILLION GIRLS MURDERED BY BRAHMINS The cumulative number of deaths due to centuries of Hindu female infanticide is truly staggering. Consider the Brahmanic Dark Ages of 1000 years(1500 BC - 500 BC), and let us adopt the standard population estimate of ancient India, namely 50 million and assume that the same birth rate and same sex ratio existed as today. These are not unreasonable assumptions, given the statements of various travellers that several entire towns in Brahmanic India were destitute of girls. These figures lead to 1.6 million births, or 0.8 million girls born per year of which at least 0.08 million are killed. For 2500 years that yields 2500 years x 0.08 million deaths per year = more than 200 million deaths for the Brahmanic Dark Ages. This means that the Brahmins have murdered 200 million girls during their tyranny over India. By comparison, all other genocides in world history pale into insignificance. The Nazi genocide of Jews was only 5 million, whilst the largest Holocaust ever, that of the Native Americans by Latin and Anglo-Saxons, was only 100 million. This genocide of female infants alone is sufficient to make the Brahmins the greatest mass murderers in human history . It does not include the countless other genocides inflicted by the Brahmins on other peoples, an estimate of which is beyond the scope of this book. 1.9 CHILD-MARRIAGE Enforced by the Brahmins, this custom destroyed the very life-soul of the non-Brahmins. Child marriage of daughters as young 5-6 y old was common during the Brahmanic Dark Ages due to the custom of dowry [ Nand 17 ] [ Bash.167-8 ] [ Yad 70 ] [ Alt.16 ] [ Ban.70 ]. Lawbooks prescribe that the best partner for a man in one-third his age. Thus a man 18 year old should marry a girl 6 years old! This is the wonderful wisdom of the most authoritative Hindu law-book - Manu.IX.94 : " A man, aged thirty years, shall marry a maiden of twelve who pleases him, or a man of twenty-four a girl of eight years of age; if (the performance of) his duties would otherwise be impeded, he must marry sooner." One of the reasons for such early marriage of girls was to prevent any scandals. Narada states that some of the defects to be avoided in brides are if they already had a relationship with another man or have their minds set on another, they should not be selected [Sheth 67]. This shows that non-virgin girls could not be married, a custom similar to Church-ruled medieval Europe. The custom of child-marriage and child-molesting has divine sanction in Hinduism. The `great god' Rama was 16 years old when he married Sita, and Sita was only 14 years old [ Ram.wh 69 ]. However, the age of Sita is now known to be a forgery; it is almost certain that she was, as per the Manuid laws, one-third of his age, namely 5 years old. It is inconceivable to imagine that `great' Rama could have dated to violate the Vedic laws of Manu. Besides being a child-molester, `holy' Rama was also guilty of incest, for Sita is referred to in the oldest surviving Ramayanas as his own sister : " In the Dasarathajataka Sita is represented as the sister as well as the wife of Rama , son of Dasaratha of the Ikshvaku line." [ Chandra, p.156 ] Mr. Chandra, who has given the passage cited above, then claims that this incriminating passage was `infiltrated' by the Buddhist nastikas. This objection, however, can be discounted immediately. Firstly, it would not be possible for Buddhists to `distort' a Hindu scripture. Secondly, Chandra himself is a Brahminist, so his statements in defence of Brahmanism can be discounted as being the result of religious fanaticism. The fact is, that the extant Buddhist tales are much older than the Hindu versions, and this episode was deleted from the later falsified Ramayanas. This is confirmed by anthropological research showing that incest was institutionalised in Rama's race, the Ikshvaku dynasty of Aryan Kshatriyas : " In the Anabattha Sutta and the Mahavastu Avadana we are told that the Ikshvaku princes, who were banished by their father and took shelter on the slopes of the Himalayas, and from whom the Sakyas traced their descent, married their own sisters in order to maintain the purity of their line." -- [ Chandra, p.155 ] Hence, it is virtually certain that Sita was Rama's sister, and that it is certain that such an `upright astik Hindu' as he would not have let his sister grow beyond the age limit of 8 years prescribed by Aryan law. Now, what was the main reason for the Brahmins enforcing child marriage and incest upon the subject populations ? The answer is that these activities led to the permanent genetic degradation of the non-Brahmin races. It is well known that consanginuous marriage leads to genetic mutations in the offspring and eventually ends in the extermination of the blood lineage concerned. Incest and child marriage has a high risk of leading to irreversible hereditary defects in the second generation which are then passed on to succeeding generataions. These were hence convenient methods for the Brahmins to annihilate the non-Brahmins and establish a pure Brahmavarta ! Even to this day one finds the process of genetic deterioration occurring in non-Brahmin children inhabiting Brahmin-ruled regions. These are entirely the result of Brahmin-enforced child-marriage and Brahmin-inflicted incest. 1.10 ENFORCEMENT OF VIRGINITY As a further instance of the oppressive rules of Hinduism imposed upon women, young girls were required to remain virgin till marriage. Failing this requirement, they would be discarded by the husbands at will : Manu.IX.72 : " Though (a man) may have accepted a damsel in due form, he may abandon (her if she be) blemished, diseased, or deflowered, and (if she have been) given with fraud." Such girls were reduced to a pitiable state and were unable to find husbands thereafter. They were mostly forced to live the life of early wretched widowhood. This shows that the systematic discrimination meted out by Hinduism to women extends down to early childhood. Whilst Brahmin men were free to indulge in debauchery with aboriginal Devadasis at an early age, girls had to remain chaste virgins. This is the truth about `wonderful' Hinduism. These are merely a handful of facts showing that Hinduism is the single most anti-woman civilization in the history of the world. The followers of Hinduism are mindless male supremacist pigs who know nothing better than to burn their own women and rape their own daughters. This they do in the name of the `Holy Vedas', the invention of perverted Brahmin bigots. No other religion imposes such an inhuman genocide of women as does the truly beastly Hinduism. |

In order to destroy the non-Brahmin races, the Brahmins enforced various hideous customs which were solely designed to exterminate non-Brahmin women. These strategies include the enforcement of bride-burning, widow-burning, wife-burning and jauhar.
2.1 BRIDE-BURNING This practice is often a direct consequence of the Vedic decrees enforcing dowry, and involves the extortion of staggering quantities of wealth by the bridegroom's family from that of the bride. When the bride's family cannot pay up to the amount demanded by the in-laws, the bride is often burned alive as a result. Often the in-laws make demands in excess of those made at the time of marriage. When the deadline specified runs out, the bride is burned in the most gruesome fashion. Often, the bride is severely mutilated by having her genitals cut off in the most brutal manner; sometimes the bride is boiled alive and at other times large objects are thrust into the girl's private parts in order to induce internal bleeding. The extent to which such barbaric Vedic and Brahmanic customs have survived is astonishing. At least 5000 women die each year for not bringing in enough dowry. At least a dozen women die each day in `kitchen fires', which are often passed off as accidents, because their in-laws are not satisfied with their dowries. Only a few of the murderers are brought to justice [ Kit ]. The extent of bride-burning is astonishing. " Government figures show that at least 7300 women were killed by their in-laws in the first nine months of 1995 for bringing inadequate dowries." [ 2 Men ] This custom of dowry has divine sanction, since the Ramayana explicitly mentions that Sita brought a huge dowry for Rama. Worse still is the custom of consuming the flesh of the burnt brides accoring to the Vedic `purushamedha'. After the helpless brides are burnt alive, their bodies are cooked as if they were some animal and their flesh consumed by the pious Hindu family of the bridegroom. In addition to destroying evidence of any crime, the pious Hindus also `gain merit' by performing the `holy' Vedic purushamedha (human sacrifice). This custom, more than any other, reveals the beastly nature of the Hindu male. 2.2 WIFE-BURNING The Aryan Hindu wife could be burnt at any time for the most trifling of circumstances. Encyclopedia Britannica describes how, at the present day, a Hindu husband can at any time accuse his wife of infidelity. In case the wife protests her innocence, the council of village elders then orders an ordeal by fire. The accused wife would be required to pass through a blazing flame. Not just death, but any signs of burns would be taken as a proof of guilt and the wife would then have to undergo the penalty for infidelity [ EB 8:986 `ordeal' ]. That is, she must be devoured publicly by dogs [ Manu.VIII.371 ]. In either case, the woman dies even for the mere suspicion of impropriety. What terrific justice for Hindu women ! The ideal role model for this custom was Sita, Ram's wife. She was required by her spouse, the `ideal husband' of the `Hindus', to pass through the fire ordeal after her return from Sri Lanka just because her husband `suspected' her of infidelity. Of course, the Brahmanic Ramayana claims that Sita was `swallowed up' by the Earth rather than being burned up ! After all, anything that could fool the non-Brahmins could be said, and any distortion designed to dupe the mlecchas is legal in the faith of Hinduism. 2.3 JAUHAR Jauhar refers to the practice of the mass burning of all the wives and daughters in an entire town/district to prevent them from falling into the hands of enemies [ Nand, p.177-8 ]. Often the husbands forced their unwilling spouses, while sometimes the women practiced it themselves, encouraged by the elders. The fact that these wars were more often than not, engineered by the Brahmins, did not dawn upon the non-Brahmins maintained in enforced illiteracy. The creeds of Vedism and Vaishnavism turns its followers into inveterate sadists. The root cause of all the immeasurable misery suffered by Indian women are the Vedas and the Vaishnava scriptures of Brahmanism (Puranas, Smrtis, etc.). The merciless persecution of women victims by Brahmins is nowhere more evident than in the rites preceding Jauhar. When Brahmins cut off the genitals of women and maimed them by chopping off their ears and noses they were only following the injunctions of those monsters Kautilya and Manu. During jauhar, women were boiled alive, other sawed in two and still others eaten by dogs for no crime whatsoever. All this was done to prevent the women from falling into the hands of enemies. Jauhar was especially prevalent in Rajastan [ Hammiramahakavya canto XIII ] and continued into the Muslim period [ Hamm.IV.18-19 ] [ Kanhadadeprabandha IV.243 ] [ 1200, p.68 ]. All these instances show that this was an accepted practice during the era of the Later Brahmanic Dark Ages (500 BC - 1000 AD). On wonders why the Rajputs were forced to burn the women, and why they did not just kill them. The fact is, that the sex-starved Hindu warriors would have used the dead female bodies in perverted necrophilia in order to satisfy their lusts. Even now one finds whole districts in Rajastan devoid of women on account of the Vedic female infanticide, and as goes the Rajput proverb, `a dead woman is better than none ' ! 2.4 WITCH-BURNING The persecution of women by Brahmins led to incredibly savage witch-hunts. The mass burnings of witches during the Vedic Dark Ages of Indian History ( 1500 BC - 500 BC ) and the later Puranic Dark Ages ( 100 AD-1000 AD ) make the European Medieval ecclesiastical witch-hunts pale in comparison. Even today witches are hunted down and persecuted in the most inhuman manner imaginable. Any woman, even now, can be accused of being a witch; she is then mercilessly put to death in the cruellest manners imaginable: some are eaten alive by wild dogs, others have boiling oil poured over them, and still others have their genitals mutilated after being paraded naked. The Brahmanic witch-hunts were the most gruesome, and longest-lasting in the history of man. They were just another instrument of the Brahmins in their desire to exterminate all non-Brahmin women. As a further example of the low status of women, even the killing of public women was not considered a grave crime [ Nand, p.28 ] [ Hop, p.282 ] [ Bash, p.187 ]. A veritable Hindu heaven for Jack the Ripper ! Criminologists studying this character should look to ancient Hindu India for many more such pious Hindus. Today, hundreds of prostitutes disappear without a trace, with heavily mutilated bodies displaying slashed genitalia, cut off breasts and burnt orifices discovered in nearby ponds and wells under mysterious circumstances. These barbarities are the result of Kautilyan and Manuite laws absolving the murderer of public women of any crime. 2.5 SATI (WIDOW-BURNING) This term refers to the ritual of burning widows as prescribed in the Vedas, and was widespread during the Early Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 500 BC). It was later enforced by the Brahmins on their usurpation of power during the Later Brahmanic Dark Ages (500 BC - 1000 AD) in order to exterminate non-Brahmin women. For details, see the later chapters. |

Women in Judaism
http://www.simpletoremember.com/faqs/Womens_Issues.htm a few highlights... Hair is the only part of a woman’s body, which seems to have no other function other than to add to her beauty. Women cover their hair because it is a part of their inner beauty[53], which only their husbands, who can get to know that inner beauty intimately, can perceive correctly. Jewish women through the ages have therefore come to perceive covering their hair as the essence of being an inner defined person[54]. Strictly speaking, women need not cover their hair from other women, only from other men. But many women feel that their own internal sense of Tznius (Modesty) is violated when they keep their head uncovered even where it is halachikally (legally) permissible 10. Why Is A Woman Considered Impure During Her Menstrual Cycle? (top) טומאה (Impurity) reflects a loss of potential. The greater the loss, the greater the (impurity) טומאה. A dead human body has greater טומאה (impurity) than that of an animal. A woman's menstruation is a signal of the loss of potential fertilization of that month's egg cell, which could have led to another human life. When a woman goes to the מקוה Mikvah (a ritual purification and cleansing bath) at the end of this period, she is renewing her creative energies for the coming month. 5. Why Can A Woman Not Become A Rabbi? Why Can She Not Learn Gemora? Why Can She Not Be A Witness? (top) Please note our general introduction to women’s issues as a background to these answers. a - Being a Rabbi and learning Gemora: Women are expected, in fact even required, to study Torah and they are spiritually rewarded for doing so[30]. The areas of Torah learning which a woman is expected to grasp is so large that it is hard to imagine any woman doing so in a lifetime. Women as a group are not, however, encouraged to learn Gemora. Despite this, Jewish history is full of examples of outstanding (learned women) תלמידות חכמות, of women communal leaders and of women who learn and have learned Gemora. If the requirements of modesty are met, the limitations on female leadership is technically only in the area of paskening shealos (deciding on a legal matter). However, although a Devorah, the Judge, may reluctantly feel forced to play such a role, she would do it with a sense of the enormous sacrifice of her female potential that this would entail. A woman learning Gemora, for example, would be training herself to deal with problems in a linear rather than holistic fashion: this would reduce her insight into her children and other people, undermine her intuitive grasp of many situations and compromise her effectiveness to respond to the drama of day to day living both by anticipating events and by spontaneously adapting to new realities without compromising deeper principles. A Torah woman would not ordinarily be willing to give all that up. So it is clear that a woman's not learning certain parts of the Torah is not because she has less of a relationship with the Torah as a whole. On the contrary, the מהר"ל Maharal seems to indicate just the opposite[31]. It is possible that for some reason the Almighty would create a particular woman with certain male aspects[32]. Such a woman may feel that her עבודת השם (service of G-d) requires her to compromise her phenomenal feminine powers and learn Gemora, which she may then do[33]. However, the number of such women is very small. The chances that you are one of those women is very unlikely. Therefore, at least you should start out by exploring the real woman's role, on the presumption that you will find it infinitely enriching and rewarding. Otherwise you may find yourself very unfulfilled. As for being a rabbi, if we get away from the titles for a minute[34], a woman is expected and encouraged to play an active communal role. She can certainly tell people what the halacha (legal rule) on any issue is[35]. Jewish history is in fact replete with examples of Torah women who became fully conversant in wide areas of the Torah[36]. She may not pasken shealos, which means she cannot decide which way the halacha (law) should be in circumstances which were not clearly talked about by previous Halachic (Legal) authorities or which are in dispute by different authorities. However, most rabbis are not qualified to do this either. Only a tiny minority are ever considered (legal authorities) poskim. b - Witnesses : It is wrong to think that women cannot be witnesses[37]. The principle of עד אחד נאמן באיסורים (One witness is believed where the issue is deciding whether something is illegal or not) is in fact learned from an (a women of menstrual status) [38]אישה נדה. The fact that I am eating this food now is testimony to my wife's reliability to testify that the food is kosher. For technical reasons, women are restricted from giving certain types of evidence[39], but so are kings, and a whole host of other people[40]. |

2- Which has more value, a slave or an animal? Let us look at Exodus 23:12 "Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed." We can obviously see from this verse that the slave and the animal have the same value. A human slave in the Bible is an animal and not a human being. This verse puts the animals and the slave in the same category. It doesn't separate them. Consider the following from the book of Exodus: Let us look at Exodus 21:28 "If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull must be stoned to death, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the bull will not be held responsible." Let us also look at Exodus 21:29 "If, however, the bull has had the habit of goring and the owner has been warned but has not kept it penned up and it kills a man or woman, the bull must be stoned and the owner also must be put to death." Let us look at Exodus 21:31 "This law also applies if the bull gores a son or daughter." Now, let us look at this verse Exodus 21:32 "If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull must be stoned. (but not to death)" Let us look at Exodus 21:7-8 "And in case a man should sell his daughter as a slave girl, she will not go out in the way that the slave men go out. If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master so that he doesn't designate her as a concubine but causes her to be redeemed, he will not be entitled to sell her to a foreign people in his treacherously dealing with her." Galatians 4:28-31 "Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? 'Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son.' Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman." This verse from the New Testament despises children who are born from slave mothers Matthew 10:24 "A student is not greater than the teacher. A slave is not greater than the master." Let us look at Leviticus 20:15 "If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal." And let us look at Leviticus 20:16 "If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." 1 Corinthians 11:5-10: "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels." Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "And in case men struggle together (in a fight) with one another, and the wife of the one has come near to deliver her husband out of the striking one (to save her husband), and she has thrust out her hand and grabbed hold of his private (the other man's groin), she must then get both her hands cut off, and the eyes of the men must feel no sorrow." Leviticus 21:9 "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." Leviticus 12:2-5, if a woman gives birth to a baby boy, then she becomes unclean for 7 days. But if she gives birth to a baby girl, then she becomes unclean for 14 days. This verse is another proof that women in the Bible are disliked to be born !. "If a man takes a wife and, after laying with her, dislikes her and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, 'I married this woman but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,' then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof [how do you think they would do that?] that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. The girl's father will say to the elders, 'I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity.' Then her parents shall display the cloth [the father would literally stick his two fingers covered with a piece of cloth into his daughter's vagina before she gets married and keep that bloody cloth for as long as his daughter is married] with before the elders of the town, and the elders shall take the man and punish him. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 22:13-18)" |

Sniper,
I never realised my words would become people's signatures! I am trying to find an old religious joint and convert it and make it a new religion! I will seek my Companions too who shall write my words down. Not because I am an illiterate bumkin, but because I don't wish to even lift my pen. That said let's see something from Paksistan. In Islam everything seems to be a sin. Too damned restrictive and with little individual freedom. Quote:
Balderdash! A clear indication that Islam does not know how to live life and the worst part is that they don't want others to live life too!!!!
