CrimeRe: Graphic Photos. Woman Dehumanized In Afghanistan For Allegedly Burning Koran by ShoeGetSize: 8:12am On Jan 10, 2024
OP didn't give a true account of what actually happened.

This is actually a true story, only that it happened a few years ago and it is actually more brutal than what OP put here.

The girl's name was Farkunda and she was a law student in Afghanistan during the time that the Taliban were not in charge of running the country because American soldiers were stationed there. At that time Females were allowed to go to school and get an education.

Unlike what OP said, she didn't actually burn a copy of the koran.

What happened was that she was arguing with a trader who was trying to cheat her when all of a sudden, he began to shout that she was an infidel who was using pages of the koran to wrap food items.

A mob gathered and lynched her in a very gruesome manner. They put her head under the wheels of a car and drove it over her head. Then they dragged her dead body through the streets chanting "Allahu Akbar" before finally pouring petrol on her and setting her on fire.

Arrests were made, but the culprits were
were eventually released and nobody has ever been brought to trial for her death to this day.

Who are those people? I've never even heard those names before. Maybe I'll look them up and find out what they are teaching.

My knowledge comes from the writings of Ibn Hanbal, Maliki, Hanaf, Qurtubi, Jalalayn, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Sa'd, Ibn Ishaq etc.

Henry Sweeney learned to read and write at the age of 49

Henry Sweeney has gone through almost his entire adult life unable to read or write.

School had been tortuous. Bullied by other kids, he said the teachers didn't have time for him, so he sat at the back of the class.

"I couldn't read or write, I could just about write my name, I couldn't write my address at all," he said.

He has made it through life by getting other people to read for him - mail, food labels, medicines.

Since leaving school, Henry has made a living from gardening and landscaping, and has become an expert on plants.

But as his parents got older, he realised he could not rely on them to help him read.


Eighteen months ago he discovered an adult learning class in his home town of Motherwell. Nervously he went along, fully expecting - at the age of 49 - to be the oldest there. He wasn't.

"You're thinking you're the only one at that age, but when you get settled in, you get to know you're not the only one, there are a lot more," he said.

It has been life-changing.

"I can do a lot more stuff in the house now, like my bills. Any letters that come in, I take my time and I can read it," Henry said.

Going to the supermarket is easier too. "I can go and pick a packet of beans or tomatoes or cucumber and read it," he added.

Henry was what is known as "functionally illiterate". This is someone who can only read or write basic words like a name.

Most can get by, but might struggle to understand a food label, medical prescription, menu or even a text message.

The last Scottish government survey was in 2009 and put the number of people in Scotland who have problems with literacy at around 26%.

https://www.hostpic.org/images/2401091752090103.jpg

Irene McGregor also left school unable to read and write.

"It affected me a lot, I had no confidence in myself, I couldn't even fill in a form. When someone asked me I'd just started shaking, started panicking, wee panic attacks".

At school one of her teachers called her a "dunce", saying "you're stupid". She was put into a class, in a corner, with a colouring book.


Leaving at 16, Irene went to work at Boots. She loved it and longed for promotion. That never came - because of the lack of reading and writing skills.

Irene, who lives in Airdrie, began learning to read in her 20s and now she can read a whole novel. More importantly she can read to her grandchildren.

"I'm actually sitting reading a book that I would never, ever do in a month of Sundays," she said. "It helps you with your life, with your children, with your grandchildren, especially with all this new tech stuff"

Both Henry and Irene take part in North Lanarkshire Council's adult community learning classes.

Irene is such a passionate advocate for adult learning, she runs classes in Airdrie.

As for Henry, he recently learned he is dyslexic. His struggle to read and write makes sense but he wants people to know they are never too old to learn.

Nicola Barlow, the council's community learning and development officer, said there was still a stigma to having low literacy skills.

"Even in 2023 people feel embarrassed," she said.

"For many adults they've lived their lives feeling that they've had lots of constrained opportunities.

"They can't apply for certain jobs, because of their limited skills, they can't support their children with their homework."

She said people who attend the classes realise that they did not have the opportunity to learn at school - whether it was because of illness, supporting their parents, or moving around.

Lindsay Paterson, professor emeritus of education policy at the University of Edinburgh, was critical of the Scottish government's lack of up-to-date data on adult literacy.

"It [the Scottish government] has declined to take part in the respected international studies of literacy and numeracy and has declined to do that in over a decade.

"Other parts of the UK do take part, notably England and Northern Ireland.

"We should be doing that, we should be getting up-to-date global standard data to find out what's going on.

"However, from the most recent data we have, we can say the low levels of literacy and numeracy in Scotland are really quite concerning".

He said local authorities should be legally required to provide quality adult education.

The Scottish government said it was committed to supporting adult learners and has provided more than £1m of funding this year to adult learning organisations working directly in communities across Scotland.

A spokesperson said: "The further and higher education minister has also announced an independent review of community learning and development provision across Scotland which includes adult learning.

"The review will identify strengths in our current approach to community learning and development and highlight where improvements may be necessary as work continues towards reforming Scotland's education and skills system."

It's a babyish habit. At 1 years old babies are still hyper curious about everything around them, but they don't have enough life experience to feel embarrassed or know that their behaviour is at the expense of their parent's peace of mind. Trust me, she'll eventually outgrow it.

Should i be concerned that my 1 year old daughter can't fall asleep without squeezing someone's nipple be it mine or her mother's. My babymama already confided in me while we were dating that it was a trait she also had well into her teenage years,now it seems she has passed it to my child.

PS since my babymama travelled since lastweek, all my nipple don swell up from rough handling. Anyway what can a dad do

Expanse2020:
My brother but the bible didn't forbid polygamy
Every time God speaks about marriage in the Bible, He always speaks about marriage as a monogamous institution.
In fact, God hated the practice of polygamy so much that He actually had to intervene in order to regulate the practice.

Abraham is a polygamist
Abraham was not a polygamist. A polygamist is someone who has more than one wife at the same time. Abraham never had more than one wife at the same time. Hagar was not Abraham's wife, she was a surrogate whose only purpose was to provide Abraham with a male heir. Sarah was Abraham's only wife until her death. After Sarah died, the Bible tells us that Abraham married another woman named Keturah and she had 5 sons for him.
So no, Abraham was not a polygamist.

Jacob(Isreal) is a polygamist
Jacob was "tricked" into polygamy. He only wanted to marry Rachel, but Rachel's family tricked him into marrying Rachel's older sister Leah because according to them, it was a taboo in their culture for a younger sister to get married before her older sister.

David is a polygamist 🤣🤣(about 70 wives and thousands concubines as recorded in bibles)
Solomon also a polygamist
David had only 8 wives, not 70 and the Bible doesn't tell us how many concubines he had, but he couldn't have had many because he only fathered 18 children.
Both David and Solomon suffered because of their Polygamous marriages and the reason for this is because they broke God's law. In the Scripture, Kings of Israel were forbidden from "multiplying wives" or having more than one wife
https://www.hostpic.org/images/2401041218460106.jpg

If God is against polygamist he would totally stop it...
If God was in favour of polygamy, He wouldn't have created just Adam and Eve, He would have created Adam, Eve, Julianna, Elizabeth, Veronica etc

Then I think how people behave in Africa especially in Nigeria may make you reason like that ....
It's not just in Nigeria and Africa that polygamists live in poverty and wretchedness, it's a world wide phenomenon.

But it's better to have wives and be truthful to them than have a wife and be doing nonsense with ladies out there
It's even better to discipline one's self and stick to one wife.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Nigerian Lady "Wows" Interviewer With Her Perfect English Speaking Skills (Vid) by ShoeGetSize: 7:12pm On Jan 03, 2024
I'm a Christian and I can only speak according to my faith.

Polygamy is man made. God's intention for the institution of marriage as shown from the creation of Adam and Eve, is one man and one woman.

Expanse2020:
D
Perpahs
You should tell us how a Polygamous is sin...
Once again, I'm a Christian and the Bible regards homosexuality as a sin. In fact, it is one of the very few sins apart from idolatry that is described as an abomination by God.

You can conviniently accept and see Gay/lesbian as nothing bad
If you lack the discipline to commit to one woman because you cannot control your sexual urges, then maybe marriage wasn't meant for you.
Also, I'm not the only one who says that polygamy is a bad idea. Many important policy makers and thinkers have for decades now, come to realise that the overwhelming majority of Polygamous societies score very low on human development indices.

If it does not work for you it will be stupid ideas

As long as you put a wife at home and still poses different women outside your marriage..
And that is the definition of faithful to your wife
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Nigerian Lady "Wows" Interviewer With Her Perfect English Speaking Skills (Vid) by ShoeGetSize: 2:00pm On Jan 03, 2024
Polygamy isn't just a sin in the conventional sense, it is also a pretty stupid idea that is not workable.

The colonial masters really did a number on us. ☹️

The colonised everything about us🤔

For instance, they came and told us that Polygamy is sin while forcing their religion on us and condemning and traditional way of worship.🥺

Now the same set of people have legalized Gay and Lesbian marriages and told us they are acceptable ☹️

Honestly speaking, They really worked on us.🧐
