Community Education and Youth Development Activist, Dr. Akosua Abdallah has revealed that she would willingly look for a good woman for her husband to marry as a second wife.

She explained that at her age, having a co-wife wouldn’t be a bad thing because she (second wife) will take good care of her husband and the house.

“If I’m given that opportunity, I will go fish for a woman as a co-wife. There are a lot of single women out there who need husbands as well. Looking at Ghana’s population now with women dominating, it’s obvious men have to take more wives,” she noted.

Islamists outrage against Aurat March held on International Women’s Day, burqa-clad women launch ‘Haya March’ to oppose it
9 March, 2022

Islamists in Pakistan were outraged after thousands of women in the country held ‘Aurat March’ on International Women’s Day. This annual event, which was started about four years ago, drew severe backlash from the Islamic fundamentalists, who targeted the march with mockery, threats, counter-rallies, slut-shaming, and called its participants “agents of Western immorality”.

Pakistani women, however, displayed unflinching courage and determination in persisting with the Aurat March, organized in various cities across the country, despite the abuses and threats they received against the event, especially in a country where non-obedience could result in catastrophic consequences in a predominantly patriarchal Pakistani society.

Jailed journalist Sedef Kabaş says women often subjected to violence in Turkey
Turkish Minute
March 7, 2022


Prominent TV journalist Sedef Kabaş, who has been behind bars since January 22, in a letter from prison said women have a difficult time in Turkey and are often subjected to violence, the Stockholm Center for Freedom reported.

The letter was published by the Duvar news website and said Turkey was a patriarchal society and that women who demanded freedom and equality were targeted for overstepping their boundaries.

“Violence against women is at a level where it can happen in the middle of the street, in the workplace, at school, and at home,” Kabaş said. “Women are killed in broad daylight and with little consequence. Despite all this, the government withdrew from the Istanbul Convention.”

Abbas arrests Christian man and closes institution he heads because he hosted a Jew – “extremist settler Yehuda Glick”
Nan Jacques Zilberdik and Itamar Marcus  | Mar 10, 2022

Recently, PA Chairman Abbas stressed the successful and harmonious coexistence between Palestinian Christians and Muslims, stressing that “Christians and Muslims fight together against their enemy (i.e., Jews/Israelis), because we have been the owners of this land since this land’s existence.”

But the mutual love and understanding only go as far as Abbas allows. If you are a Christian and stray from the path of “fighting the enemy” Israel, you will be punished.

That is what happened to a Christian organization in Bethlehem a few days ago when it “dared to welcome” an “extremist settler” Jew. Following a visit by former Israeli MP Yehuda Glick who heads the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation and the HaLiba initiative – groups that advocate for Jewish rights to pray on the Temple Mount – the PA closed the Christian institution Beit Al-Liqa’ for a week and arrested the Christian head of the association while an “investigation” is being carried out:

Video Shows Children Executing Captives at Quran School… Schools have always been a primary Boko Haram target; now both its factions are using boys in combat.
10 MAR 2022  /  BY MALIK SAMUEL AND OLUWOLE OJEWALE

In January, the violent extremist group Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) released a video showing young boys undergoing strenuous combat training. As the clip ends, some children are seen executing soldiers captured from the battlefield. One of the instructors explains that the boys are being prepared for graduation and deployment.

The recruitment and use of child soldiers by the Boko Haram faction Jama’tu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS) is widely known. However it’s been unclear whether ISWAP, its rival faction, has been doing the same. It seems ISWAP’s supposed strategy of not targeting civilians has deflected attention from its recruitment of young boys.

This is the latest in a long list of abuses of children, who have been particularly hard hit by the Boko Haram crisis. Many have been subjected to grave human rights violations, including kidnapping, slavery, starvation, rape, denial of access to formal education, and death.

State Department Hire Oversaw UN’s Terrorist Textbook Program
Elizabeth Campbell directed a U.N. agency using textbooks that glorified terrorism

The Biden administration has hired the former director of a United Nations agency accused of promoting anti-Semitism and terrorism in Palestinian schools to help oversee refugee issues and U.N. reform at the State Department.

Elizabeth Campbell was hired as deputy assistant secretary of state at the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration last month, according to reports. From 2017 to 2022, Campbell served as Washington, D.C., director of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), a U.N. agency that runs schools for Palestinian children and has used textbooks that teach anti-Semitic and pro-terrorist views.

Campbell's appointment puts her in the position of working for the same State Department bureau that provides funding and oversight for the U.N. agency she previously helped run.

Pakistan bans Qavi Khan’s film for ‘negative image of Muslims’
Pakistani-American filmmaker Iram Parveen Bilal has directed it

Samaa Life&Style Editors
Posted: Mar 11, 2022

The Central Board of Film Censors halted the film a week before its scheduled theatrical release. I’ll Meet You There stars senior Pakistani actor Qavi Khan, Faran Tahir, Nikita Tewani, Shawn Parsons, Michael Pemberton, among others.

“I’ve been mulling over the decision by the Central Board of Film Censors, calling our film I’ll Meet You There a ‘negative image of Muslims’,” said Iram Parveen in a statement, according to Variety.

“A film that was made with blood, sweat and tears by a Muslim, financed by Muslims and made in the face of a post 9/11 world and a Trump presidency; a film whose very purpose was to combat Islamophobia and to create a positive portrayal of Muslims.”

This bothers me, teaching children how to be MURDERERS!! There is no valid excuse for teaching children how to kill a non-believer, no reason at all yet I expect this out of islam. I've said many times islam is NOT a religion of peace but of death. I'm pretty sure Islam should be called the new Murder Inc, for all the killings muslims have committed and they even kill other Muslims they disagree with

By Staff

German police have released a 24-year-old man arrested on Thursday morning after he carried out a brutal antisemitic assault in Berlin.

The man, a refugee from Syria, encountered his victim in the corridor of a hostel in Prenzlauer Berg, a popular neighborhood in the heart of the German capital. The victim, a 32-year-old Jewish man from the UK, wore a kippah, sparking his assailant’s ire. He tore the kippah of the Jewish man’s head and began stamping on it. The assailant then demanded that his Jewish victim say the words “Free Palestine” before punching him repeatedly in the face.

Published: MARCH 11, 2022 11:14

Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light on Friday for up to 16,000 volunteers from the Middle East to be deployed alongside Russian-backed rebels to fight in Ukraine, doubling down an invasion that the West says has been losing momentum.

The move, just over two weeks since Putin ordered the invasion, allows Russia to deploy battle-hardened mercenaries from conflicts such as Syria without risking additional Russian military casualties.

At a meeting of Russia's Security Council, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said there were 16,000 volunteers in the Middle East who were ready to come to fight with Russian-backed forces in the breakaway Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
