Culture is not an Excuse for Abuse: The Story of Yasmine Mohammed

Tolerance once meant that we would treat others with respect, even if we did not agree with each other’s views.  Now, Tolerance is being defined as embracing all views are equally valuable and true (even if these views often make opposite claims).  Unfortunately, this re-definition of "Tolerance" is creating a society in which we brush off abuses committed on people in other cultures as simply being "Cultural Relativism."  They're simply doing what is right in their society, and while it would be seen as wrong in our society, for the sake of "Tolerance," we simply have to accept that there is no "Absolute Truth," and must therefore, not take action when people are being abused in other societies in order to be respectful of their "cultural" or "religious" practices.  Relativism is in truth creating a society which morality no longer exists, which in turn creates a society of "do nothings" in the face of moral evil, & no case more clearly reflects this travesty than that of Canadian native Yasmine Mohammad.


 Born to a Muslim family in Egypt, Yasmine and her mother settled in Vancouver.  Naturally, she turned to the Mosque for support, seeking help from the Muslim community.  This unfortunately, was a Fundamentalist Salafist Mosque.  Yasmine's mother became the second wife of a Salafist Muslim man.  This Polygamy is very common in Vancouver, the men marry one woman under Canadian Law, and then marrying additional women under Sharia Law.  Yasmine's life soon became severely repressed under Sharia, and suffered physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her step-father and underwent powerful psychological brainwashing into radical Salifist Islam.  Yasmine turned to Canadian law enforcement for help, but the Canadian Judge, blinded by relativism, decreed that this was how their society did things, and  therefore it was not the place of Canadian law to intervene.  Yasmine was eventually forced to marry an Al-Qaeda terrorist who was linked to Osama bin Laden himself.  It was only after the Canadian Law Enforcement took him into custody that Yasmine escaped from her abusive family.  

So in the end, it was essentially decided that if you were a person from a Western culture, the laws of the nation will protect you from this abuse, but if you are of another culture where such abuse is the practice, you will not be under the protection of the laws of the nation.  You'll just have to find a way to cope with the abuse.  The sad truth is this, Yasmine Mohammad was betrayed by her country, a country in which too many are blinded by cultural relativism.  I will say this bluntly, Canada failed Yasmine Mohammad.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
