Witchcraft Legal Aid in Africa

NEW YORK — Accusations of witchcraft in Africa have gained increasing attention because of the severe impact they can have on the lives of those accused, including imprisonment, deprivation of property, banishment from villages and in some cases physical violence.

The human-rights law program I direct recently partnered with an N.G.O. in Malawi to run a mobile legal-aid clinic focusing on witchcraft cases in two rural communities.

Men, women and children flocked to our clinic seeking legal assistance. The cases were challenging and engaged the question of how to confront accusations of witchcraft, particularly when children and elderly women disproportionately bear the brunt of such accusations.

MY THOUGHTS:
This is inconceivable in the 21st century. Yet it is happening in Africa. Can it happen here in America. Most of us would say, "not a chance."  But, as our education system is being destroyed by the Conservatives so we will h ave an ignorant younger populace and as radical Christians like Rick Santorum, Pat Robertson, and many others who are so fanatic about the their Christian faiths, this type of behavior might return to America.


Remember Colonist here on what we call America did prosecute and burn at the stake or other wise kill women and children they accused of being witches.


There many religious leaders in America that still harbor the belief in witches and that they are the servants of the Devil and must be destroyed. To them even the non-believer is automatically evil, if a person has not totally accepted Jesus as his/her savior and submit to the supreme laws of Jesus and no other.


Should a religious extremist like Rick Santorum become President and he has a Congress that supports his Christianist policies, we will see an increase in violence toward anyone not swearing allegiance to their form of Christianity. 

Those who do not swear allegiance will be monitored 24/7, imprisoned as provided for in the new military appropriations bill and the patriots act, deported to who knows where (even multi-generation American citizens), and ultimately they will exterminate them, as the Nazis tried to do to the Jews over a half century ago. We have seen that civilized people who are conditioned by religion, and Nazism was a religion and a political party (much the same as what the Republican Party has become today), commit atrocities toward their fellow human beings in the passion of their religion and the hatred of those they fear are evil.


Will history repeat itself to a degree here on the American continent? The situation is very similar to the 1930s when we had the Great Depression in Europe, and crazy religious zealot that used his form of religion and his political power to convinced the people that he can make their life better, if they get rid of the Jews, Homosexuals and Gypsies. The people watched as the Jews were pulled from their homes, robbed of all their possessions and transported to camps. Then the exterminations started and the people turned their backs and allowed the crematories and mass graves be filled with those evil Jews and others who they thought caused such hardship for them.  The only difference here is we don't have a large population of Gypsies, but change that to Muslim and you have the same picture as Europe was.


So I ask you that before you vote in November, think very carefully about what you are about to do and the ramifications that may come from that vote. You may have never voted for a Democrat in your life and it feels like it would be sacrilegious to do so, as they are evil people, and this is my point. Vote for Obama and break that conditioned fear and hatred toward the demonized Democrats. I dare you to stop the slippery slope to what could be the ultimate destruction of our society and nation by the insane Conservative, Tea Party, Republicans.
