THE FREE WORLD NEEDS WHAT SCOTLAND NOW HAS: A LAW THAT BANS FORCED MARRIAGES

SCOTLAND HAS GIVEN THE WORLD MANY GREAT THINGS: SCOTCH, SMOKED SALMON, GREAT OATS, THE PHILOSOPHERS WHO FOUNDED MODERN DEMOCRACY, SCOTCH, PLAIDS, SCOTCH.

NOW THIS:

A new law protecting people from being married against their will has come into effect in Scotland.

The Forced Marriage (Protection and Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Act 2011 will be enacted today (Monday 28 November 2011) and provides increased protection for both men and women who are affected by forced marriage. ...

"This legislation protects people from being forced to enter into marriage without their free and full consent and extends help to those who have already been forced to enter into marriage without such consent.

"Victims are often vulnerable and isolated among their societies and it is important they receive effective and appropriate support.

THIS IS BETTER THAN A BURQA BAN.

IT SHOULD BE PASSED EVERYWHERE AND MADE A PRE-CONDITION OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE UN AND THE WTO AND TO RECEIVE FUNDS FROM THE WORLD BANK OR IMF.

FORCED-MARRIAGE IS A FOUNDATIONAL STRUCTURE OF ISLAMO-MISOGYNY.

AND ISLAMO-MISOGYNY IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF ISLAMO-TERROR:

HOUSEHOLDS THAT TREAT WOMEN AS CHATTEL AND TEACH THEIR BOYS THAT HONOR-KILLINGS ARE FINE ARE HOUSEHOLDS THAT PRODUCE TERRORISTS.

IF WE WANT TO END ISLAMO-TERROR WE SHOULD START BY PASSING A WORLDWIDE BAN ON FORCED MARRIAGES.
