Photos show U.S. soldiers gang raping Iraqi women and girls

Over four months ago, I received an email from one of my friends, a sister who keeps me up to date on information from around the world. The email linked to an article that stated American soldiers were raping Iraqi women.

Akbar Muhammad is the international representative for the Nation of Islam headquartered in Accra, Ghana.

This story and the pictures it refers to came to the Bay View via the Sons of Afrika listserv, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soa/.

We will forward the pictures to adults who request them; email editor@sfbayview.com

1. FWIW

Some people are saying that they are staged photos from a porn site.

4. I did hear about some photos from a porn site

Didn't realize this was them though.

Oh well, once again the Nation of Islam is a bunch of liars. (I never really did like them.)

6. I greatly respect your posts

I knew you wouldn't want to get something this important wrong. Here's a link about the Boston Globe story http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38464 Unfortunately, it's WND.

2. This was reported in the Boston Globe also

And they're in a lot of trouble for reporting on this without checking their facts. The pictures were from a porno site and unfortunately are being used take away from the seriousness of the real scandal.

You may want to check your facts.

3. Oh My God this is so Sickening. Have they gone insane?

What do they think the response to this will be

All hell will brake loose. Maybe that's exactly what they want.

Is there anymore verification of this.

5. AS STATED IN POST 2, the pictures were altered porno pics

This was also reported on yesterday afternoons CBS news.

Of course it doesn't stop the Islamisists from believing them real, because after all they want the violence to continue in Iraq even at "respectable" outlets like Al Jazeera.

7. Are these the pics Scottxyz

http://aztlan.net/iraqi_women_raped.htm

Apparently they turned up before the original torture pics went wild. The number of people who got caught by this is huge. Definitely deserves a snopes entry...
