Burqas for babies

To protect baby girls from being sexually exploited, the Saudi cleric, Sheikh Abdullah Daoud, has called parents to make their female children wear burqas.
Sheikh Abdullah Daoud believes burqas will protect baby girls because men can not control their sexual urges for babies who do not wear burqas. He asks parents to force their children to wear burqas. He definitely thinks it is better to torture babies with burqas than to control men’s desire to molest children.

Women have no right to live as human beings under Islam. Even a female baby does not have the right to enjoy her childhood. She has to hide her little body from fellow humans and have a constant fear of being molested.

Time for animals to feel sorry for humans.

Islamic preacher raped and killed his daughter but hardly got punishment under Islamic laws.

Fayhan Al Gamdi, a Saudi preacher who raped his five-year-old daughter and tortured her to death has been sentenced to pay “blood money” to the mother after having served a short jail term.

Lama Al Ghamdi was admitted to hospital with multiple injuries, a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising and burns. Child’s rectum had been torn open and the abuser had attempted to burn it closed. She died.

‘The judge had ruled the prosecution could only seek blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama’s death suffices as punishment. The ruling is based on Islamic laws that a father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives.’

A father cannot be executed for murdering his children, nor can husbands be executed for murdering their wives. But a mother should be executed for murdering her children and wives should be executed for murdering their husbands. Right?

Will Muslims continue to tolerate misogyny, barbarism, inequalities and injustices of Islam?

Some animals are altruistic. Some plants are altruistic too.

Researchers from the University of Colorado-Boulder have found evidence that suggests some plants are altruistic or unselfish or selfless too.

UC-Boulder researchers examined corn, in which each fertilized seed contained an embryo and a matching piece of tissue known as endosperm that nourishes the embryo as the seed grows. They compared the growth and behavior of the embryos and endosperm in seeds with the same mother and father with the growth and behavior of embryos and endosperm that had genetically different parents..

The researchers say:

“The results indicated embryos with the same mother and father as the endosperm in their seed weighed significantly more than embryos with the same mother but a different father..”

“We found that endosperm that does not share the same father as the embryo does not hand over as much food — it appears to be acting less cooperatively.”

“Altruism only evolves if the benefactor is a close relative of the beneficiary. When the endosperm gives all of its food to the embryo and then dies, it doesn’t get more altruistic than that.”

I haven’t seen altruism in plants yet. But I have seen altruism in animals. They are amazing.

Some scientists believe humans have in-built altruism. But most humans behave altruistically towards close kin than to distant kin and non-kin. I wish humans could be more altruistic towards non-kin, animals and plants. The idea of the ‘survival of the fittest’ has been replaced by the idea of the ‘survival of the nicest.’

Humans are responsible for the extinction of the Thylacine

A new study says, Humans Alone Wiped Out Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger.

We humans made many animals become extinct. Thylacine was one of them.

Thylacines looked like a cross between a hyena and a tiger. They had pouches like possums and tails like kangaroos. The Tasmanian government put bounties on dead thylacines in 1830, blaming them for attacks on sheep, paid £1 per head for dead adult thylacines and ten shillings for puppies. Actually many more thylacines were killed than were claimed for by farmers and bounty hunters. The reasons behind the thylacine’s extinction in the 20th century are bounty hunting, habitat loss,reduction in the thylacine’s prey due to human harvesting and competition from millions of introduced sheep.

I do not think we should bring thylacines back to life. They would die out anyway, because their jaws were weak and they had low genetic diversity. Tasmanian devil will soon be extinct by a contagious cancer . We should rather try to save endangered animals like Tiger, Polar Bear, Giant Panda, Chimpanzee, Amur Leopard, Elephant, Dolphin, Rhino, Tree Kangaroo, Bonobo, Whale, Orangutan, Gorilla, Marine Turtle. It is their planet too. We humans just share this planet with them. We do not have the right to wipe them out.
