I absolutely felt your anger when I r...Hi Helen, <br /><br />I absolutely felt your anger when I read this. I sat in my chair and wondered at how vile human kind can be in the name of religion. <br /><br />I grasped hold of the the phrase 'received in an email' and desperately wanted this atrocity to be a falsehood and terribly wrong, something designed to incite hatred and malice. <br /><br />I had to google longer than usual to find the below, which is very sad, it should have appeared immediately but this aside, a reporter, Tim Marshall for Sky News was there for the ceremony and he had this to say on his blog later....<br /><br />"The men and women are sitting, Most ignore the speeches, some even ignore the prayers. Then the fireworks explode, the cheering begins, and in march the Hamas scouts, bashing drums, looking every inch the future Hamas fighters many will be. Then the grooms, aged about 18 to about 28. They are holding hands with their young nieces and cousins, little girls aged from about 3 to 8, made up to the nines, wearing white wedding dresses.<br /><br />Up they all go to the stage, the cheering and music grows ever louder. The girls were having the time of their lives, but, getting a little bored after a while, came down off the stage to dance with each other and play games.<br /><br />Our report on this put it into context saying that it took place just a mile from the Israeli border and was a message from Hamas about its strength confidence and future fighters. Oh and that the brides were elsewhere. Pretty straightforward. It never struck me for a moment that the little girls might later be described in the bloggersphere as the brides! How naive I am." <br /><br />http://blogs.news.sky.com/foreignmatters/Post:dcc9d723-8046-4857-b618-5c1135ba6417<br /><br />Some of the discussion on this topic at the bottom of his blog is interesting and still scary but I am not familiar with Islamic marriage rites and from what others are saying, children under our legal age are married under Sharai law, but in this particular case a mistake appears to have been made.<br /><br />The original report can be found here:<br /><br />http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/video/Gaza-Hamas-Firmly-In-Control/Video/200908115353754<br /><br />and this is the link to hoax slayer:<br />http://www.hoax-slayer.com/mass-muslim-marriage.shtml<br /><br />I'm sorry to be the one to bring this to you but I had too so that we can have all the information (as far as we can find it and also try not to get caught up in 'he said, she said' as someone else put it) and not a snippet. <br /><br />We can never know for sure, and we will still wonder if what we're seeing is the truth but I like to remember that other cultures don't understand us either.<br /><br />Forgive me Helen :) Still love you, and I enjoy reading your passionate blog.<br />JMQueen of the Nativeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798913341731560872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897631495644096161.post-70496217161353035812010-03-08T01:59:52.607-08:002010-03-08T01:59:52.607-08:00Wicked!Wicked!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069834995104534716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897631495644096161.post-7853137514826715772010-03-08T00:07:07.425-08:002010-03-08T00:07:07.425-08:00wow....i cant even think of anything to say to tha...wow....i cant even think of anything to say to that....i'm stunned, and you're allowed to be cranky - i will be too, when it hits homenaughtynannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823836297119116186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897631495644096161.post-22581003849405337112010-03-07T21:14:33.024-08:002010-03-07T21:14:33.024-08:00I know, I saw this too!
