Or, uh, maybe not. No wonder the liberal feminist establishment continues to argue that we have no right to export American values around the world. That might, after all, actually stop the mass murder of women by backward, pathological men stuck in the stone age.
Kenya mob burns 15 women to death over witchcraft
A rampaging mob in western Kenya burnt 15 women accused of witchcraft to death, a local official and villagers told AFP Wednesday.
“This is unacceptable. People must not take the law into their own hands simply because they suspected someone,” said Mwangi Ngunyi, the head of Nyamaiya district. “We will hunt the suspects down,” he added.
The gang of about 100 people moved from house to house late Tuesday, tied up their victims and set them ablaze, the official said. Ngunyi added that the mob also torched 50 houses in Nyakeo village, located some 300 kilometres (180 miles) northwest of the capital Nairobi.
“I can’t believe my wife of many years would be killed so brutally by people who cannot prove their case even before God,” said Enoch Obiero, a pastor.
“My mother has always been a role model to the entire village and why the mob had to kill her will remain a mystery to me forever,” lamented 32-year-old Emily Monari. The region, populated mainly by the Kisii tribe, has been dubbed Kenya’s “sorcery belt” due to mob attacks on women suspected of witchcraft.
Beasts. Funny how it’s been dubbed the “sorcery belt” instead of the Mass Murder of Women belt.
As the district head noted, people should not take the law into their own hands. Prosecution of witches should be done by the government, not the mob. Just like in Saudi Arabia.
If you want to make sense of this sort of thing, I recommend “Spiral Dynamics” by Don Beck and Christopher Cowen.
