Jordan Peterson should make his mind up about Christianity, critics say. Prof James Alexander disagrees: he's a profound Jungian explorer who wants to help a secularised world see why Christianity still matters.

Mark Zuckerberg's repudiation of Covid-era censorship is welcome. But it's not enough, say Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker. Without a public reckoning they will just do it all again when a cause seems urgent enough.

We Must Stand Together Against the Women-Killing Gangs

category international | gender and sexuality | other press author Tuesday December 18, 2007 13:59author by pat c Report this post to the editors

A report below by the Iraq Freedom Congress on the continuing attacks on women by Islamist gangs. But IFC point out that the occupation forces bear full responsibility for the practices of these gangs.

Unidentified gangs began to commit a series of organized crimes and killing many women in various cities in Iraq, particularly in Basra where more than 40 women are said to have been killed in the last 5 months. In addition to those crimes, these gangs threatened unveiled women to follow Islamic law and start wearing head scarf otherwise facing the severe consequences.

These sorts of acts reveal that there are religious groups behind such crimes who desperately attempt to impose Islamic laws on society. Such practices and atrocities are the backdrop of declining power of these groups after four years of authority that was based on militias who are used for looting, theft, corruption and assassinations of their opponents. These groups are the product of the occupation that established a ground for such crimes and unleashed their viciousness. Therefore the occupation forces bear full responsibility for the practices of these gangs.

Iraq Freedom Congress condemn such vicious acts and calls on all its chapters across Iraq to form the safety force to protect women and stand against these criminals and drive them back to the caves where they came from.
