***HORRIFIC*** 10 MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN ARE LITERALLY SLAUGHTERED BY ASSAD’S FORCES

***WARNING: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPLICIT VIDEO, PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE YOU PUSH PLAY***

4 are children and 3 are women, every single one of them had their throats slit or were bludgeoned to death.

assads forces raided this village, entered their homes and simply slaughtered them. why? because thats what they do. thats what assad ordered them to do. to carry out massacres so horrible that the people of syria dare not rise up against him anymore.... yet, these massacres have the exact opposite effect, it only hardens the resolve of the survivors to topple this regime.

you wont hear about this on your local news nor see it on CNN. the world simply accepts that these little kids were butchered without as much as mentioning them. i urge you all to reflect on your own lives and give thanks for the many blessings we are fortunate to have, think about this (and possibly the video) next time you complain about your bad day at work... or how the barista FKD up your starbucks coffee.

FEMEN topless jihad

femen protesters in front of the ahmadiyya mosque in berlin. besides the fact that femin just seems to be encouraging the sort of self congratulatory islamophobia one sees in europe with these protests at various mosques in general (as opposed to tunisian embassies and consulates), maybe they should also know that ahmadiyya muslims are currently at great risk from "islamist" attacks,

in pakistan particularly. two years ago this mosque was firebombed, probably by islamophobes who hate all muslims equally, however.

ah, FEMEN at it again. Not only did they ridicule a persecuted minority, they also proved the group is way behind in their geographical study of cultures and societies and, you know, minorities.

white feminists always find new ways to prove they are racist, conformist and counterproductive as hell. this racism inspired tit-praxis is not only terribly misguided and ironically anti-women (as it declares one form of lifestyle superior to the other in addition to completely forgetting that subverting patriarchy does not have only way to go about it intersectional inclusion, anyone?), it is embarrassing and ultimately boring. good job at aligning with right wing islamophobes (whose male gaze, in case you didn’t notice, has been reinforced and satisfied with your media sensationalist approach) and xenophobes who wouldnt mind a peak or two at your boobies while mocking those evil brown people.
