This is not a Clintonese "That depends on what you mean by 'marriage,'" it is rape: a violent felony that, in the United States, falls just short of a capital crime and justifies the use of deadly physical force to terminate it. And Ms. Roush's Saudi ex-husband is no better than a pimp, panderer, and white slaver. There was a time when civilized nations knew what to do with this kind of trash. Charles Gordon of Khartoum, for example, executed slave traders as a matter of routine.

This incident certainly justifies the United States' use of armed force against Saudi Arabia unless its government returns Alia and Aisha to the United States at once. We don't need "allies" who kidnap American girls and sell them into white slavery. Congress last declared war on someone in 1941; maybe we're overdue for another one. We need someone like Theodore Rooselvelt (Bush comes close but doesn't quite make it) to stand up and say the equivalent of, "Perdicares alive or Raisuli dead!"

George Will, "Iraqi, Saudi regimes pose distinct challenges," Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, 18 August 2002: "The House of Saud almost certainly is a dead regime walking. Saudi Arabia's male unemployment rate is 30 percent." 30 to 40 percent of Saudi "education" is devoted to the study of scripture, and the marriage rate is dropping. Many Saudi men cannot afford the traditional dowry (i.e. are unable to purchase women from their fathers), and women are beginning to refuse the men who are chosen for them by their families.

"...when three Saudi men-- Ali al-Dumaini, Matruk al-Falih and Abdullah al-Hamid-- sought to circulate a petition merely calling for a constitutional monarchy, they are given prison sentences of six to nine years." --"Selling America," Wall Street Journal, 11/11/05, page A16

Islamic supremacists rape Australian women, including teenagers

Racist rapes: Finally the truth comes out

By Miranda Devine July 14 2002 The Sun-Herald

So now we know the facts, straight from the Supreme Court, that a group of Lebanese Muslim gang rapists from south-western Sydney hunted their victims on the basis of their ethnicity and subjected them to hours of degrading, dehumanising torture. The young women, and girls as young as 14, were "sluts" and "Aussie pigs", the rapists said.

Pakistanis Abduct and Rape British Citizens

Pakistanis abroad trick daughters into marriage

By Owais Tohid | Special to The Christian Science Monitor

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN – When Neelum Aziz visited Kashmir for the first time last year, the young British girl couldn't wait to explore her family's home village. But her parents had something else in mind.

Two weeks after arriving in Kotli - in the Pakistan-administered part of the disputed territory - Ms. Aziz was told she had to marry her cousin.

"[My father and uncle] took away my [British] passport, money, and other belongings and locked me up," she says. "I screamed and shouted and kept on crying. My tears dried up, but my family elders did not listen to me and married me to a cousin of mine without my consent," she says.

Aziz's story is only the most recent example of hundreds of young girls who become victims of their families' desire to preserve an age-old tradition. According to human rights activists, 250 girls like Aziz - daughters of British citizens from Pakistan - were forced into marriages with relatives in 2002 alone.

There was a time when England knew how to deal with this sort of thing. As a matter of fact, Nepal is in that part of the world and I think the British Army still employs Gurkhas. There is nothing wrong with these Pakistani Islamofascists that a kukri (Gurkha knife) wouldn't fix.
