RIP..Abeer Qassim Al-Janabi

Hye all. Ooppppsss…sorry. Assalamualaikum…

Wishing all of you who come across my blog in a good health and showered with Allah’s love and affection.

Another week passed by. Last week was quite tough for me. I cried a lot n I trouble my husband a lot. It seems like I have a problem adjusting myself in this new phase of life call pregnancy and motherhood. All the happiness during the time when I knew I am pregnant went away. I forgot how I felt at that moment. And all I have is myself to blame. I am so carried away with my feelings and emotions and so I put the blame on my hormones changes and all. I keep on complaining and crying and mumbling and look for someone to be blamed which I found none!

The final strike was when I read about this poor little girl name Abeer. She was 14 years old. Yes. WAS. She was raped and killed by this inhuman and cold-hearted American army during American invasion in Iraq back in 2006.

The story goes like this and I quote this heart breaking story from Mr. Shaun Mullen from his blog. You can read the entry in full vide this link : http://kikoshouse.blogspot.com/2007/07/happy-birthday-abeer-qassim-hamza.html

“When four American soldiers, two dressed in Iraqi mufti and not uniforms, appeared at the Al-Janabi farmhouse on the afternoon of March 12, 2006, they were not entirely unexpected. Abeer had told her mother that some of the Americans at the checkpoint were being sexually aggressive toward her and her mother, fearing for her safety, had been making her stay home.

Among the soldiers entering the house was Private First Class Steven Green, a 21-year-old boy-man and petulant loner with a history of drug and alcohol problems and a petty criminal record back in Midland, the titular home of the Bush family in Texas oil patch country…

“…Once at Abeer's house Green herded her father, mother and Hadil, her 7-year-old sister, into a bedroom. Abeer’s brothers, Ahmad and Muhammad, were at school.

Green shot the father several times in the head, the mother several times in the abdomen and the sister several times in the head and shoulder with an AK-47 that the family was legally allowed to keep in the house, proudly announcing to his buddies, "I just killed them, all are dead."

Green then turned on Abeer, whom U.S. officials initially claimed was 20 or 25. As if that justified what happened next.

Abeer's dressing gown and bra were torn from her body and her legs tied. Green and two other soldiers then took turns raping her. By the time they had finished, blood was flowing from her vagina. Green then shot Abeer in the head two or three times, threw a blanket over her torso and set her body afire in a crude effort to cover up the atrocity.

Back at the checkpoint, Green burned his blood-drenched clothing and swore everyone to secrecy…”

“…Neighbors reported the crimes to a nearby Iraqi Army unit. while members of Bravo Company told the Iraqi soldiers and neighbors that the family had been killed by Shiites because they were Sunnis. The claim was widely disbelieved, prompting deep anger and inevitable retaliatory attacks.

On June 16, 2006, insurgents ambushed a Bravo Company patrol, killing Specialist David J. Babineau, 25, and kidnapping Privates First Class Kristian Menchaca, 23, and Thomas L. Tucker, 25, who were tortured and beheaded and their mutilated and booby trapped bodies left near Yossifiyah, the second point of the Triangle of Death.

The Mujahedeen Al-Shura Council, an Al Qaeda affiliate, posted a video on the Internet showing the bodies and stating that they were revenge killings for Abeer's rape and murder.

The bodies are seen on a bridge over a river in the videotape. Both are drenched in blood. The head of one trooper is held high by an armed man, like a trophy, while the head of the other is being stamped on by another armed man. One man appears to also have been shot and the other possibly hit with an explosive.

(There was further retaliation: In October 2006, the Islamic Army in Iraq released a video of the manufacture and launch of an "Abeer" rocket, while in May of this year -- three months ago yesterday to be exact -- insurgents overran an outpost southwest of Mahmoudiyah and abducted three soldiers, one who was later found slain and two of whom remain missing and are presumed dead.)

How ironic that these three men were butchered by fanatical adherents of a religion that treats women as mere chattel and stones and even rapes them if they disobey religious law and bring dishonor on their husbands or families. But I digress.

The cover-up of the crimes by Green and the other Bravo Company enlisted men was finally blown open on June 20, 2006, when Private First Class Justin Watt, shaken by the deaths of Babineau, Menchaca and Tucker, revealed the Al-Janabi family rape-murders during what the Army calls a "combat stress debriefing," or in medical parlance, a psychotherapy session.

…….owh I cried again as I was copying this story. Just google her name. You  will find hundreds of post bout her...what is wrong with this people???She was just a 14 years old girl. I guess the humanity just doesnt exist anymore. so...to all potential rapist out there, please remember this, everytime you have this bad intention, please go and look for a prostitute instead!!!!!  the fact that in Iraq there is so much stress and they cannot handle it is out of question and it is very stupid of the defend counsel to come out with such an excuse! 

So I guess my maternal instinct finally have finally kick in I realised one important point. You have to love and appreciate what you have! Me too! I should stop complaining about my life ..or at least reduced it..u cant not expect me to change in one night time anyway. No parents in this world want something bad happen to their own child. N it starts from the day u know you will become a parent…

I can’t wait to see my baby!
