CHILD SACRIFICES IN TODAY'S MODERN WORLD

KALI, HINDU GODDESS OF DEATH AND DOOM, OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH SEX AND VIOLENCE  


"In Bulandshahr, the nearest town of any description, locals whispered darkly of happenings in Barha. Their advice was unanimous: 'Don't go. It is an evil place. The people there are cursed.'

Sumitra Bushan, 43, who lived in Barha for most of her life, certainly thought she was cursed. 
Her husband had long abandoned her, leaving her with debts and a life of servitude in the sugarcane fields. Her sons, Satbir, 27, and Sanjay, 23, were regarded as layabouts. Life was bad but then the nightmares and terrifying visions of Kali allegedly began, not just for Sumitra but her entire family.

She consulted a tantrik, a travelling 'holy man' who came to the village occasionally, dispensing advice and putrid medicines from the rusty amulets around his neck.

His guidance to Sumitra was to slaughter a chicken at the entrance to her home and offer the blood and remains to the goddess. She did so but the nightmares continued and she began waking up screaming in the heat of the night and returned to the priest. 'For the sake of your family,' he told her, 'you must sacrifice another, a boy from your village.'

Ten days ago Sumitra and her two sons crept to their neighbour's home and abducted three-year-old Aakash Singh as he slept. They dragged him into their home and the eldest son performed a puja ceremony, reciting a mantra and waving incense. Sumitra smeared sandalwood paste and globules of ghee over the terrified child's body. The two men then used a knife to slice off the child's nose, ears and hands before laying him, bleeding, in front of Kali's image.

In the morning Sumitra told villagers she had found Aakash's body outside her house. But they attacked and beat her sons who allegedly confessed. 'I killed the boy so my mother could be safe,' Sanjay screamed. All three are now in prison, having escaped lynch mob justice. The tantrik has yet to be found.

Police in Khurja say dozens of sacrifices have been made over the past six months. Last month, in a village near Barha, a woman hacked her neighbour's three-year-old to death after a tantrik promised unlimited riches. In another case, a couple desperate for a son had a six-year-old kidnapped and then, as the tantrik chanted mantras, mutilated the child. The woman completed the ritual by washing in the child's blood.

'It's because of blind superstitions and rampant illiteracy that this woman sacrificed this boy,' said Khurja police officer AK Singh. 'It's happened before and will happen again but there is little we can do to stop it. In most situations it's an open and shut case. It isn't difficult to elicit confessions - normally the villagers or the families of the victims do that for us. This has been going on for centuries; these people are living in the dark ages.'"   

The killings have focused attention on Tantrism, an amalgam of mystical practices that grew out of Hinduism. Tantrism also has adherents among Buddhists and Muslims and, increasingly, in the West, where it is associated with yoga or sexual techniques.

In her squalid home Ritu Singh rocks back and forth, beating her chest in grief. She has been mourning since the day her son Aakash's body was discovered in a sewer outside Sumitra Bushan's home. Her husband, Rajbir, said: 'We expect them to be jailed or fined but they won't spend longer than a few years in prison for what they have done. They were my neighbours, they ate in our house. The Tantrik who made them do this has disappeared, they will never find him.'


A "SPIRITUALITY" EMBRACED BY TWO OF THE FOUNDERS OF BLM...THE YORUBA 'IFE', aka 'IFA' BELIEF SYSTEM.
VOODOO BY ANOTHER NAME.  

BLM Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors, along with BLM Los Angeles Co-Founder Melina Abdullah, discussed the “spiritual” component of the movement, explaining the practices and “rituals” performed to remember and “invoke” the spirits of deceased African Americans.

“We speak their names … [and] you kind of invoke that spirit, and then their spirits actually become present with you,” Abdullah, a professor at California State University, stated during the discussion hosted by Fowler Museum at UCLA.

Cullors outlined that she was raised Jehovah’s Witness, and “ancestral worship became really important” as she got older. She said that she felt a responsibility to honor the deceased politically and spiritually. 

“In my tradition, you offer things that your loved one who passed away would want, whether it’s honey or tobacco or things like that,” she said, referring to the creation of an “ancestor altar,” which is sometimes practiced in African cultures. “It’s so important, not just for us to be in direct relationship to our people who’ve passed but also for them to know we’ve remembered them. I believe some of them work through us.



WE CAN HOPE BOTH BLM 'FOUNDERS' ARE AWARE THAT HUMAN SACRIFICES ARE NOT ALLOWED, ACCORDING TO BABALAWO OBANIFA. 

THE ATLANTIC LABELS THE YORUBA 'SPIRITUALITY' AS "WITCHCRAFT". 

NOVEMBER 5, 2018  

African American witchcraft originated in West Africa, the birthplace of Yoruba, a set of religious traditions focused on reverence for ancestors and worship of a vast pantheon of deities known as orishas. Those traditions accompanied West Africans who were brought to the Americas as slaves, and were eventually combined with Western religions, such as Catholicism,

Ifa religion has a spiritual and natural world. The spiritual world is where Oludumare and Orisa live and the natural world is where human beings, plants, and animals live. It is through Ifa prayer, divination, spiritual procession and sacrifice that human beings can engage the spiritual world.

Ifa Religion Sacrifices 
Sacrifices are offerings made for a higher purpose. Just like many traditional religious practices, sacrifice forms an integral part of the tradition of Ifa. 
The Yoruba people believe that the solutions to their problems can only be meted out through the consultation with Ifa and that this is only possible through sacrifices. Sacrifices could be in the form of objects, food, or life and blood of animals.

For Yoruba culture to be analytically meaningful, there must be Ifa divination, just as there must be the ori (HEAD). 

Can a Woman Become a Babalawo?
[THIS IS VERBATIM FROM A PDF BY 
Chief Priest IfaSola Onifade Oshogbo, Nigeria, West Africa and I have not corrected the grammar at all.] 
"'A woman is qualified to be one if she marries to a Babalawo.
Women that marries to Babalawo have been named and being called ‘Apetebi’. ‘Iyanifa’ on the other hand is a title or common name for any woman that undergo the training of Ifa knowledge, an Apetebi can also become an Iyanifa if such a woman undergoes Ifa training, that is to say, not all Apetebi are Iyanifa but many Iyanifa are Apetebis since they usually marries to Babalawo. 

The answer to the question is YES, THEY CAN, only that there is difference in their roles and these roles are also limited. Apart from her roles as a wife, the role of an Apetebi in Ifa started from daily and weekly cleaning of the Temple, morning and evening devotion whereby she pray at the shrine of Ifa either personally or jointly with the household, an Apetebi can make the five day libation known as ‘OSE’ whereby she give kola nuts to Ifa and make prayer, and if anything is requested by Ifa through such libation, an Apetebi can also give such thing to Ifa if it is just like additional kola nuts, food, scotch, honey and things like that but if it is a blood of birds or animal, she would need the help of a Babalawo because of the needed invocation that has to do with verses of Ifa. 

But in the case of Iyanifa, she can go to some extra level in addition to the above mentioned roles, even in the performance of these roles, she will be able to confidently support herself with Ifa verses to which Apetebi may not. Iyanifa can attend gatherings of ‘Babalawo’ whether administrative or spiritual (except in the area of "ODU" , a deity that’s forbidden for women to see) where she do have says and also chants Ifa verses where necessary because she can identify and chant praise name of all the two hundred and fifty-six ‘Odu-Ifa’ which she must have perfectly memorized during her training.'" 

IFA DOES USE ANIMAL SACRIFCES. CHICKENS SEEM TO BE THE FAVORITE. 
A HEN IS USED TO WARD OFF IFA's 'ELDERS OF THE NIGHT' (CALLED WITCHES BY IFA BELIEVERS).

IS EITHER CULLORS OR ABDULLAH QUALIFIED TO PERFORM ANY IFA RITUAL, ACCORDING TO THE PRIESTS OF THE 'REAL' THING BACK IN AFRICA? 
WHO KNOWS? 
THEY'RE DOING SO ANYWAY. 



MARTYRDOM FOR CHILDREN (aka, CHILD SACRIFICE), ANIMAL SACRIFICE AND BEHEADING IN ISLAM 

FROM THE TIME THEY ARE BORN, MUSLIM CHILDREN ARE TAUGHT ABOUT MARTYRDOM FOR ISLAM.




One Pakistani recruiter of child suicide bombers describes these children as "tools provided by God."

Another Muslim cleric in a madrassa [Islamic boys' school] describes child suicide bombers as "a gift from Allah that we have an unlimited number willing to be sacrificed to teach Americans a lesson."

The most unconscionable form of child abuse is perhaps the least addressed by human rights organizations: the recruitment and indoctrination of children by jihadi extremists who transform them into suicide bombers and child soldiers.

There seems to be an unsettling ease about children in Islamic societies being duped into becoming suicide bombers -- starting with the environment in which the children are reared. The media seem comfortable not to report on the content of the textbooks in elementary level schools, particularly on the Arabian Peninsula and in Pakistani madrassas. Textbooks there, as in the Palestinian territories, are often are laced with hateful language describing Christians and Jews, as well as non-Muslims in general.

 These textual references to "infidels" -- or any non-Muslim, or often even any Muslim not of one's proclivity -- are reinforced by vituperative sermons delivered by extremist Imams every Friday in mosques. Muslim children are taught to feel victimized by the West. Children are instructed that Islam is under a state of siege and must be resolutely defended even at great cost. It is a religious worldview that plays into the hands of manipulative recruiters.

FAMILIES STRONGLY ENCOURAGE MARTYRDOM, AS DO THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS OF ISLAMIC STATES WHO USE CHILDREN TO KILL OTHERS.    

AS THE TEA ROOM HAS SHOWN MANY TIMES, THERE IS EVEN "CHILDREN'S TV PROGRAMMING" AIMED AT CREATING CHILD MARTYRS
THEY USE DISNEY-LIKE CARTOON CHARACTERS TO PUSH CHILDREN IN THAT DIRECTION. 

December 3, 2019 / PMW) The Palestinian Authority (P.A.) marked World Children's Day last week by calling on Palestinian children to become "martyrs." On the Nov. 20 episode of the children's program "The Best Home," which aired on P.A. TV, two children recited poems encouraging martyrdom for "Palestine."

MARTYR'S FAMILIES RECEIVE A MONETARY REWARD EACH MONTH FROM THE LIKES OF HAMAS AND FATAH.

Charities from Saudi Arabia and Qatar — both U.S. allies — pay money to families of Palestinians killed in the fighting, including suicide bombers.


MOTHER PROUD OF 'MARTYRED' SONS  
Mariam Farhat, a former member of parliament for Hamas in Gaza, raised each of her six sons to commit terror attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. She hoped that each of them would die in the process – that each of them would become a ‘martyr’. Now, her young grandchildren are propagating the same message on Hamas TV.

In March 2002, Mariam Farhat’s 17-year-old son Muhammad entered an Israeli community, opened fire on school children and threw hand grenades at their school. He killed five students and wounded 23 others. When Farhat heard that her son was dead, she shouted in joy and handed out boxes of halva and chocolates to well-wishers. 

In an interview with London-based Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat published in 2002, Farhat explained the process of raising a child to become a suicide bomber.

In a video released after the attack, Farhat stands next to Mohammad as he is about to depart on his suicide mission. “How do I feel, as I promise my son paradise?” she asks rhetorically. “By Allah, today is the best day of my life.”

She stated the same thing in a vixdeotaped interview with National Geographic, 2009.
"I brought them up to be martyrs. To become martyrs for the name of Allah. There wasn’t a definite time in which they told me that they wanted to become martyrs. I instilled this in them and they followed it… and the ones who just started – they are going to continue."  

Farhat’s capacity for sacrificing her children and sending them to their deaths knew no bounds. “I wish I had 100 boys like Mohammad,” she said. “I’d sacrifice them for the sake of Allah.”
Her grandchildren appear to have received that message loud and clear – and now, they’ve shared it with the tens of thousands of Gazan children who watch Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV.

ODD THAT SHE NEVER BECAME A MARTYR, ISN'T IT?  


Beheading in Islamic law

In January 2015, a copy of an ISIL penal code surfaced describing the penalties it enforces in areas under its control, including beheadings.

ISIS/ISIL FREQUENTLY USES BEHEADINGS IN TELEVISED VIDEOS.    
During the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims honor and remember Ibrahim’s (may Allah be pleased with him) trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, cow or goat.

Allah has given us supremacy over animals and permitted us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the earnest act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred. Life is to be valued with utmost act of piousness and holiness.

The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others. One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor. It is to divide among those who honestly deserve the share of it rather than consuming all among ourselves.

It is very important to understand that the sacrifice itself, as practiced by Muslims, has nothing to do with apologizing for our sins or using the blood to wash ourselves from sin. This is a misunderstanding by those of previous generations:

"It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your devotion that reaches Him." (Qur'an 22:37)

After the five pillars of Islam, Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi (sacrifice) is the most important activity. This sacrifice is the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim who combines the Prophetic patronage from three religions i.e. Jewish, Islam and Christianity. The festival also symbolizes the trial of faith and loyalty towards Allah. It enlightens ours path with true spirit of righteousness and rectitude.

A sacrifice, usually taken to be the slaughtering of animals, is more than that. The physical act of sacrificing of the animals is just a ritual, is just a tradition and is just a sacred practice whereas the essence lies far beyond it and the spirit of it goes far beyond common human perception."  


WHILE SUICIDE BOMBERS, BEHEADINGS ARE NOT A PART OF EITHER JUDAISM OR CHRISTIANITY, ANIMAL SACRFICE WAS A MAJOR, DAILY EVENT IN ANCIENT ISRAEL AND SOME WOULD REKINDLE THE PRACTICE TODAY.  

ANY MEAT-EATING SOCIETY "SACRIFICES" ANIMALS, BUT DON'T CALL IT THAT.  

HAVE JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY COMMITTED ATROCITIES, GENOCIDES AGAINST PEOPLE OF OTHER RELIGIONS/BELIEFS? 
YES, BUT NOT AS FREQUENTLY AND "SUCCESSFULLY" AS ISLAM HAS. 

RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL DIFFERENCES HAVE FUELED MANY WARS. 

WE HUMANS HAVE A HARD TIME ACCEPTING ANYONE WHO IS "DIFFERENT" FROM OUR OPINION OF "RIGHT" AND "GOOD". 
WE SEEM PRONE TO 'ERASING' THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT, OR, AT BEST, ISOLATING OURSELVES FROM THEM SOMEHOW. 

CERTAINLY WE CAN SEE THAT SOME OF THE HINDU FAITH, SOME OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH, SOME MEMBERS OF BLM WHO HOLD 'IFA' AS THEIR FAITH HAVE ALL STEPPED OVER THE LINE TO "DEFEAT" ANY WHO COME AGAINST THEM. 

TO THEM, SHEDDING BLOOD IS NECESSARY AND NORMAL. 
IT MAY NOT BE SANE, RATIONAL OR ACCEPTABLE, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE IN TODAY'S WORLD.  

HOW WE HANDLE THAT IS YET TO BE SEEN.  

MAY WE NOT BECOME WHAT WE ABHOR. 

BUT...WE WILL DO JUST THAT IF IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE THOSE WHO CURRENTLY SEEK OTHERS TO DESTROY. 

AFTER ALL, WE'LL TELL OURSELVES, SELF-PRESERVATION IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE. 

ISN'T THAT THE COMMON EXCUSE FOR WARS? 

WAR IS DEFINITELY ON AMERICA'S HORIZON, BUT THEN, THE CIVIL WAR NEVER REALLY ENDED. 
POLITICAL PARTIES AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA MADE SURE OF THAT.
