For the 1st country in the Arabian peninsula to afford women the right to vote, member of the United Nations, blah blah blah, 2013 and these Shia-stone-age cunts fuck their own children-....Throwbacks kept in the dark and fed shit instead of knowledge. Thank you, Islam.

Forget the uncle, this girl should go and live with Pat Condell!

I hope she gets away too. She's much more eloquent than I was at that age. All I wanted at 11 was a Nintendo.

I agree with everything you said, but the only thing we can do now is sit back to watch the magic of knowledge dissemination, and help where we can.

We will definitely be seeing her face again. I bet she changes the Middle Eastern world for the better and in a big way.

Religion is just a tool to justify the mistreatment of others. The problem is the idea that women are worth less than men, their inferior. This isn't a problem specific to islamic countries. You see it in indian gang rapes, chinese gender selected abortion, israeli orthodox jews spitting on little girls and legitimate rape experts in US politics.
This problem exists worldwide and you can see it on a daily basis, even in the comfort of your own home. In some places it's just less obvious.
Personally, I hope this outspoken girl will help to change something in her part of the world and get away with it.

-sounds good on paper your position, agree with you .... Proselytizing involves conscious complicity or blind faith-I call bupkis on Islam, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, etc, not because of some inherent foulness contained in the tenants (which are basically the same for all major religions) but for subjective-interpretation combined with a culture bereft for many generations teaching garden-variety self-hate-Can't fix a peoples or culture without discarding shit-think and Islam represents.

Education, re-education, etc.,-whatever it takes to save the Islamic world, or North Korea and her imprisoned peoples,or joe-six-pack who got diddled by his uncle when he was 6-

Religions' a construct and healthy spirituality, a divine gift for humans to add to their trip here-

I will adopt her. She is very well spoken for her age. I'm sure she would kick ass in school and end up going to college.
I'd be proud to have her as my (unmarried) daughter

Hey now, nothing wrong with arranged marriages. Just forced marriages. Father's need to start doing their job in finding suitors who are qualified and capable of wooing their daughters. I'm sure this young lady would love to get married if she were in love. Naturally the young lady ought to have complete veto power.

Has anyone checked the source of the translation, MEMRI?

Never heard of 'em, but Wiki has some basic info that makes it appear to me like a bloody propaganda outfit. Look at the names listed: Michael Hayden (NSA/CIA), Paul Bremmer and John Bolten (Bush's warmongers), Ehud Barak (fmr. Israeli Minister of Defence) and running the show is Yigal Carmon, who is listed as an Israeli spook.

Call me cynical, but I smell a touch of manipulative propaganda. Not saying the story is false, just that it might have been picked, pushed and hyped for a political purpose other than the suffering of Yemeni girls/women.
