The Great God has delivered all the lands into my hand; the lands that I have made to dwell in a peaceful habitation…. . .When my soldiers in great numbers peacefully entered Babylon… I did not allow anyone to terrorize the people… I kept in view the needs of people and all its sanctuaries to promote their well-being… Freed all the slaves… I put an end to their misfortune and slavery (referring to the Jews and other religious minorities).

My Lord, grant me success in struggling during failure, in having patience in disappointment, in going alone, in Jihad without weapons, in working without pay, in making sacrifice in silence, in having religious belief in the world, in having ideology without popular traditions, in having faith (Iman) without pretensions, non-conformity without immaturity, beauty without physical appearance, loneliness in the crowd, and loving with the beloved knowing about it.

Joseph Fritzel’s Religion + photos
Posted by Parsin on May 2, 2008
All of us heard the news about Joseph Fritzl (Fritzel):
“A man held a woman prisoner for decades in an underground cell, forcing her to bear seven of his children. The victim was his own daughter. Behind this door and underground, unthinkable horrors occurred unheard and unnoticed for at least 24 years. 73-year-old Joseph Fritzl, an electrical engineer, kept his own daughter imprisoned as a sex slave. He reportedly confessed to authorities he fathered seven children with her. One is said to have died as an infant. His wife and their own six children lived upstairs, allegedly unaware. ” [ http://www.necn.com/]
I am wondering what would have been the reaction of the western media if this person was a Muslim?!! They never said anything about his religion and they shouldn’t!
However, why they behave differently when the person is a Muslim?? It is not hard to imagine how the propaganda machines would start destroying a religion if that person was by chance a Muslim.
Joseph is Jew and I don’t think there is any relation between Jewish and the barbaric act of this animal. In the Muslim country where I am living, Iran, not a single media mentioned about the religion of this criminal unlike what the western media is doing these days. The question is “how long the racism and double standards will go on over Muslims?”

(If someone is trying to get something versus Jews from this post he must be sick! The massage is very clear: All humans are brothers and sisters; Christians, Jews, Muslims, . . . ! We should open our eyes and look differently than what a few politicians are willing, for their nasty interests. Good and bad people could be found in any country, among the followers of any faith, and it has nothing to do with a nation or a faith!!!!)

Waw, good you wrote it. I just read something about it on tabnak.ir and had it in my mind. Really religion is not matter to make a person this or that. But the question you made is really true. What they would do if that Fritzel would not be jew and be for example Hamid from Iran or any other muslim countries either!! All western media would rip their throat!
They do same about muslim woman’s hijab, about women’s problem in Islamic countries, their freedom etc. But just in the west the situation is not better. For example They forget how much western women are simply sexually abused.
I personally met 2 westerner women who were abused by their father and had a child with him.
They do same about honor killing, as if it’s an “islamic” case, But it completely happens in the west too and related to ignorance and stupifity of some men around the world. But the powerful media doesnt belong to muslims anyway..

P.S: I dont know turkish. But my maternal grandpa knew both turkish and russian.He used to translate some turki poems to farsi for me.

Shahrzad,
Thanks for your comment and explaining more about the subject.
I am really shocked not only by what this animal has done to his daughter but also for keeping her and her children in that underground cell for 24 years!!
You are right western men abuse women in several way including sexual. I used to work in a place in US, and there were couple of girls among others who were raped by their fathers! I can never forget the psycho behavior of one of them!. . .

So you are partly an Azeri!
I know Turkish so let me know if you needed any translation!!!

Why is Fritzl only up for a possible 15 years?????? this has to be the worst crime in Criminal History of any family. at the very least he should be forced to rot in jail!
May 3, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Astineh,
You are right! The sentence is not in justice with the crime.
And please note that “15 years” is the maximum. You will see many idiots provoking immoralities in the human society will find a way to lower his sentence.
A person at this level is far from a human being.

This is one of the most horrible things I have ever heard about. You know if he was Muslim the western press would be having a field day. It is a total double standard. This man should be imprisoned for life, if not given the death penalty. You are completely right, if this was a middle eastern man, there would be no end to the press coverage, but instead it’s a white western man, so its glossed over.
This is one of the most disturbing, sickest crimes I have ever read about.

This is so sick.

Some one should lock this sick excuse of a human being up and abuse him repeatedly until he dies. Better yet, they should hang him by his balls.

Merissa,

Kathy,
Thanks for your comments! I hope they take him out of humans society for good. This is the least every one can expect for such a horrible crime.

Good Job.

The max may only be fifteen years, but I’ll put money on someone taking him out in there way before his time is up, no matter how much he gets. I truly don’t think he’ll live to get out, or at least I hope he doesn’t!!!!!
