Dogma Exposed – Christians Attempt to Smuggle 33 Haitian Children Across Border

First of all, let me apologize for the lack of updates for almost a week. I’ve been hit by a massive surge in schoolwork, and I simply couldn’t find the time to care about my blog. I shall try my best to keep War for Science updated, however.

So what’s the “great” news for this week? See below.

Ten members of a US Christian group may face charges of kidnapping minors and child-trafficking after trying to smuggle a group of children out of quake-hit Haiti, officials said Monday.

Amid growing concern over the safety of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable women and children left destitute after the January 12 quake, the case could also go to trial in the US courts.

Mazar Fortil, interim prosecutor for the main Port-au-Prince court, told AFP the group may also face a lesser charge of criminal conspiracy.

But asked about earlier comments whether the group will be transferred to face charges in the United States, Fortil said it was "too early to tell."

The five men and five women with US passports, as well as two Haitians, were seized late Friday as they tried to cross into the neighbouring Dominican Republic in a bus with 33 children aged between two months and 14 years.

They have defended their actions saying they were only trying to do what was right in the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude quake, but the arrests have again thrown the spotlight on the Caribbean nation's impoverished people.

“For us it is important to clarify how those kids have been given to those people,” Georg Willeit, a spokesman for SOS Children Village where the youngsters are being cared for, told AFP Monday.

“One of the girl, 10 years old, said that her mother went to the bus to say good bye, so we have to clarify the whole situation.”......

These guys were from Idaho, and guess what, they allegedly tried to send these children to an hotel waiting to be converted in an orphanage without the required paperwork. One must wonder, did they really go to Haiti to help those earthquake victims? Or did they go to spread the word of the Bible and brainwash the victims into accepting Christianity?

The group’s spokesperson claimed that what they were doing were entirely right, but where are the legal papers? Why, according to a Malaysian newspaper, were the parents oblivious to what they were actually doing? And why, if that action was legal, were they arrested? Either they were simply too careless, or they may had other plans for the children. I won’t jump to conclusions here, but it is certainly possible that this is another example of the Christian Taliban in action. And they say that atheists eat babies.

Dogma Exposed - Rape victim receives 101 lashes for becoming pregnant

A 16-year-old girl who was raped in Bangladesh has been given 101 lashes for conceiving during the assault.

The girl's father was also fined and warned the family would be branded outcasts from their village if he did not pay.

According to human rights activists, the girl, who was quickly married after the attack, was divorced weeks later after medical tests revealed she was pregnant.

The girl was raped by a 20-year-old villager in Brahmanbaria district in April last year.

Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper reported that she was so ashamed following the attack that she did not lodge a complaint.

Her rape emerged after her pregnancy test and Muslim elders in the village issued a fatwa insisting that the girl be kept in isolation until her family agreed to corporal punishment.

Her rapist was pardoned by the elders. She told the newspaper the rapist had "spoiled" her life.

"I want justice," she said.

This was from Telegraph.co.uk. I hoped I was surprised when I heard about this, but no, I am not, unfortunately. The sharia law is so infamous for its sexism and its maltreatment of women, and this is just one in many cases. There is certainly many more cases not reported in the media. Yet, from this we can see how irrational, tyrannical, and sexist extremist Islam is, and anyone who says that sharia law is fair and play should rethink their words. Seriously.

Well, at least it such a law isn’t in the Holy Quran, and we can all agree that this is a case of the extremists misusing the sharia law. But sexists views are still present here and there in the Quran (and the Bible, for that matter).

Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise. - 2:228, Holy Quran

If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. – Deuteronomy 22:23-24, the Holy Bible (KJV)

PS: Moderate Muslims around the world, there is no better way to prove that Islam is a religion of peace than now! You say that Islamic-phobia is widespread, eh? Then how about this: condemn the extremist and sexist acts. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Throwing Molotov Cocktails doesn't improve your rating, extremist Muslims.

If anyone hasn’t heard of the “Allah” word controversy in Malaysia by now, I’ll give an brief introduction. So a Bible was written in the Malay language, and it used the word “Tuhan” for “Lord”, and “Allah” for “God”. Not surprisingly, this raised quite a number of objections by the Muslim community, and the Malay Bible was banned initially. Yet the Court lifted the ban after that, and said that the word “Allah” is free for use by other religions (with the term that a warning that the book was for non-Muslims be placed on the cover of the Malay Bible). Now this sparked a great controversy in Malaysia. As the fights (on paper) went on, a few fanatics decided to take it one step further, and voila, there have been 8 churches under attack from Molotov cocktails so far. Oh the humanity.

Jan. 10: Police officers inspect damage at the All Saints Church in Taiping of Perak state, Malaysia.

Seriously, what’s this all about? Firstly, the word “Allah” is the Arabic term for “God”, and has been in use since pre-Islamic (aka pagan) Arabia, in which it referred to the creator-god, and is still in wide use by Arabic Christians/Jews. Why the controversy? Secondly, it is surprising that there are guys who think that by throwing Molotov cocktails at churches, they are fighting for Islam as a whole. Please. You extremists are most certainly embarrassing the Islamic religion, your much more rational/moderate Muslim peers, and Malaysia. Lastly, I’m still waiting for the mullahs around the world to give their opinions on this issue. So far, there’s none.

Alright, enough of my rants. I’m going to write about science in my next post. I promise. Anyway, what’s your opinion on this topic?

Jebbus, save me from your followers (if you exist).

I sent an email to Bible Life Ministries in hope that they would take a look at my blog, and have an intelligent conversation. Guess what I got? Insults. You would’ve thought that god-loving people will do better. Anyway, here’s the exchange:

1. Rebuttal of "Top Ten Scientific Facts Proving Charles Darwin's,Theory of Evolution is Wrong, False, and Impossible" – Me

Hi, Mr. Rieske. I'm Darren Wong, an evolutionist. I've took a look at your claims that the evolution is impossible, and I definitely do not agree with it. I have thus given rebuttals to it in my blog: http://warforscience.blogpsot.com. In my Answering Creationist Claims series, I gave evidence for evolution, and cleared up misconceptions about it. I hope sincerely that you would take a look at it, and see for yourself that evolution is scientifically established. Thanks.

PS: You can accept evolution and still be saved, right?
Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.

2. Re: Rebuttal of "Top Ten Scientific Facts Proving Charles Darwin's,Theory of Evolution is Wrong, False, and Impossible" – Kent Rieske

Hi Darren,
I nearly click the "X" on your email, and I certainly will without opening it if you write back.

First, I don't debate or bother with brainwashed people on blogs. Bible Life Ministries is NOT a debate forum.

Second, no you cannot accept evolution and be saved because you do not believe in your heart the very first verse in the Bible. You are lost and destined to spend eternity in HELL (which was also created by God).

Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth.

Don't bother reading beyond Genesis 1:1 until you believe and accept it in your heart. You are simply brainwashed, and I have MORE BAD NEWS. You have no way to correct it. This page explains why.

3. Ever Heard of Theistic Evolution? (Whether you bother to open it or not) – My Reply.

Whatever, Mr. Rieske, but have you ever heard of Theistic Evolution? It's the believe the Genesis and evolution are mutually compatible. See Answers in Creation. That's a good Christian website.

And when did evolution had anything to do with the beginning of the Universe and the Earth, anyway? It addresses the change of life over time (not the origin of life). And who is to say that god did not put this process into motion. For the Bible itself are full of parables, isn't it?

And you just contradicted yourself. You said that I'm going to hell (whatever that is) because I don't believe in Genesis 1:1, but isn't it said in Roman 10:9 that you only have to believe that Jesus was resurrected to be saved? Hey, even you said that on the website.

Lastly, before you call me brainwashed, I accepted evolution through myself. No one forced it upon me. My school hasn't taught it yet.

A Piece of My Mind

Oh yeah, Mr. Rieske, it does seem that I’m going to a non-existent hell that a “sky fairy” created, because he loves me, but I believe in evolution. Seriously, man, what’s this bullshit? I sent the email in hope of an intelligent debate. It seems I should’ve thought better.

Not only did Kent not even try and take a look at my points, he just outright insulted me, and cursed me to go to hell. Now, has Jesus not said that you should love your enemy? But such reactions are only to be expected from a fundamentalist. I doubt that a response will be given, but anyway, I’ll wait. For now, my friends, you may take a good laugh at the hypocritical and hard-headed mindset of this creationist.
