• long-term, Tanzania, and indeed, other regions where acid attacks are growing in prevalence, need a fundamental shift in perceptions of the welfare of women. Unless, and until, that happens, the violence will continue.
• 1,500 acid attacks reported globally each year, though according to Acid Survivors Trust International,
• Laws: India and Bangladesh have drafted laws aimed at controlling the sale, storage and distribution of certain types of acid. Pakistan passed a law a couple of years ago making perpetrators of acid attacks subject to lifetime imprisonment.

• The motivation for the attack remains unknown, though some have speculated it may be related to the women’s religion (Judaism) or the fact they were travelling without a man (unacceptable by some Islamic interpretations). 
• Islamic fundamentalism? majority of the population in Tanzania is Christian, Zanzibar is almost entirely Islamic, with increasing tension driven by religious fundamentalism. It’s very possible that that fundamentalism was a factor in the attack on the British women, evidenced especially by the fact that on July 24, Katie Gee tweeted, “A Muslim woman just hit me in the street for singing on Ramadan. Is that normal.”
• Attack by acid is perpetrated by men against women in about 80% of cases, is often used as a tool of subjugation in areas such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Uganda and Cambodia. 
• Canada when a student at the University of British Columbia was blinded by her husband in a brutal physical attack on a trip to Bangladesh, during which he also threatened to throw acid on her.
• weapon used by men against women ...it is the weapon of choice for spurned suitors. In other cases, it is used against girls or women believed to have brought dishonour to their families or husbands. And while throwing acid  is a fairly new phenomenon — just picking up within the last 20 or 30 years — the reasons behind it remain deeply engrained in beliefs of honour, faith and the role of women.

• Student allegedly blinded by husband prays doctors can restore eyesight Ms. Monzur, 33, was attacked while visiting her home city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her husband, Hassan Syed, is accused of beating her and trying to gouge her eyes out in front of the couple’s five-year-old daughter.

3. Muslim Fuaed Abdo Ahmed Louisiana Bank Standoff

August 13, 2013 20-year-old man, Fuaed Abdo Ahmed of Yemen descent who had a handgun and rifle took women and a man hostage at the St Joseph branch of a bank in Louisiana. Ahmed shot two hostages who died and released a third, but was killed by police who stormed the bank. Police believe it was a planned attack as  Ahmed had books about hostage negotiations, not a bank robbery. Police believe he was angry at people who were "mean to him" and had voices in his head. Authorities did not make any connection to his Facebook endorsement of Islam or terrorism. 

4. James Lee DiMaggio Kidnapping of Hannah Anderson
Looks more like a terrorist attack than a simple hostage taking. Camouflaged car driven from California to Idaho? Pursued and shot by SWAT cops? Why would just a crazy guy go to this much trouble to cause this much damage and keep so many police busy? Did this guy have any connections to white nationalist extremists?

7. Obama backs Muslim Brotherhood in deadly clashes?

Pam Geller: Obama announced that the United States is cancelling its bi-annual joint military exercise with Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood camps/sit-ins were stockpiling weapons, torturing activists seeking to leave, exploiting women and children, and inciting violence. Brotherhood supporters were firing on soldiers and police. Brotherhood supporters destroyed scores of churches yesterday and today continue to chant, "with our blood, our souls we will defend Islam." Not Egypt, Islam.

Obama has done nothing to end the slaughter of non-Muslims under the sharia or protect the Christians in Egypt. Instead, he supports the savages.

aug 14, 2013  As of this morning, at least464 people are dead in Egypt after a day of violent clashes that began as the Egyptian military stormed protest camps supporting ousted President Mohamed Morsy. The dead include 43 police, according to the government, but are overwhelmingly civilians. At least three journalists have also been killed in what the Committee to Protect Journalists told FPwas an unprecedented level of press intimidation in Egypt. Several leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were arrested, including Mohamed El-Beltagi, whose 17-year-old daughter was killed as the military dismantled a camp in Cairo. Morsy-supporters staged reprisals, attacking government buildings, police stations, and Coptic churches. As protesters responded to the violence, the military-backed Egyptian government issued a curfew and reinstituted a state of emergency through much of the country 

Giving an update on the death toll, the military-backed interim government said 137 people had died near the mosque, 57 in Nahda Square and 29 in Helwan, in the south of the city. The other 198 deaths occurred in the provinces.
