A SUREFIRE CURE FOR RECIDIVISM (via Tom Morin):

Pakistani woman beheads husband for polygamy (Middle East Times, May 3, 2006)

Pakistani police have charged a 45-year-old woman with beheading her husband with a dagger and chopping up his body after he planned to take a fourth wife, officials said on Wednesday.

Majeeda Khatoon lopped off her spouse's head, cut off his legs with the help of relatives and dumped the body parts in a sewer in Gulshan-e-Hadeed on the outskirts of the southern city of Karachi, police said.


At our house that's the punishment for a first offense.

This can't be right. Women are just property under Islam, and have no power.

Women -- ya' can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em.

Why can't you live without them?

I thought they said Muslim women enjoy the sisterhood of being one of a lout's many wives.

Because without women, there's no point to living.

Asexuals and celibates free ride in an existence created by women.

Thank you Mr. Chomsky, for your thoughts.
No hope of Salvation then?
What part of existence was created by women alone?

Posted by: Robert Mitchell Jr. at May 4, 2006 11:35 PM

What part was created without ?

Thank you Mr. Chomsky. The tempo of the age is 'A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle' and 'Women, can't live with them, can't live without them'. Perhaps we should go back to a more Old Testament understanding of relationships. The one we have now isn't working.
