Judy Rebick: My heart aches for Akmol Miah
Ok, I paraphrase. But seeing as she thinks Omar Khadr is Nelson Mandela, I figure Judy Rebick has a wide on for child soldiers everywhere.
Call it a hat tip for the Left's new protest signs.
Akmol Miah was only 14 when he targeted 15 year-old Maleha Masud and her family in revenge when she ended their three-month relationship.
When she refused to get back together and told her mother he was trying to blackmail her, Miah ran a Google search on 'how to burn someone's house down'. Miah and his cousin Shihabuddin Choudhury, 21, then poured petrol through the front letterbox as the family slept at their home in Tooting, south London.

Miah, who is now 15, celebrated his success by using a picture of the burnt house as his computer screensaver.

When reached for comment, Canadian feminists explained "the whores had it coming".
Snark: Someone has told Rebick how to spell "Khadr" but not how to rename .jpg files.
Directly related: Afghanistan, where women set themselves on fire. This used to be a feminist concern. Now, not so much.
Fawzia felt like she had no way out. Married off to her cousin at age 16, she had been beaten routinely by her husband and in-laws in their poor rural home in Paktia province for the first three years of her marriage. She complained bitterly to her parents, but no solution seemed imminent. Marriage had become too much for her to bear. Then, after she saw her brother-in-law strike his wife on the head with a gun, Fawzia finally did what she had threatened to do many times before: she doused herself in cooking fuel and struck a match.
My heart aches for Fawzia.

Why aren't Noor Almaleki and Aasiya Hassan as famous as Matthew Shepard? They weren't in up-country villages in the Pakistani tribal lands. They were Americans - and they died because they wanted to live as American women.
