Aqui hay un video que le costo la vida a su creador, Theo van Gogh, sobre la violencia hacia las mujeres en el islam.
Here's a video made by Theo Van Gohg about violence against women in islam.
This video had his creator killed. Here's a mini biography in Spanish but you can find after that the one in English regarding this video.
THEO VAN GOGH - Debutó como realizador con Luger (1981). Por los filmes Blind Date (1996) y In het belang van de staat ("En el interés del Estado", 1997) recibió un Gouden Kalf (el equivalente holandés al Oscar). Como actor, apareció en la producción De noorderlingen (1992). Posteriormente, trabajó para la televisión y como ácido columnista de actualidad para el diario Metro, entre otros. Criticó con dureza a la clase política por igual, con la excepción primero del líder conservador Pim Fortuyn (asesinado en 2002) y luego de la diputada liberal de origen somalí Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Las religiones organizadas fueron siempre objeto de su sarcasmo (primero hacia los líderes judíos y luego, a finales de la década de 1990, se centró en el islamismo). Su último libro fue Allah weet het beter («Alá lo sabe mejor», 1993), donde hacía gala de su estilo irónico y cínico y presentaba su visión demoledora del Islam. Van Gogh, al igual que Hirsi Ali, consideraba que el islamismo era una amenaza directa hacia la sociedades democráticas occidentales. Sus críticas hacia el Islam arreciaron tras los ataques del 11 de septiembre.
A partir de un guión de Ayaan Hirsi Ali, produjo y realizó el cortometraje Submission («Sumisión», que es lo que significa «Islam» en árabe), que aborda el tema de la violencia contra las mujeres en las sociedades islámicas. El film se emitió en la televisión holandesa en agosto de 2004 y provocó gran indignación entre los musulmanes, que lo tacharon de «blasfemo». La película muestra a cuatro mujeres maltratadas y semidesnudas cuyos cuerpos han sido caligrafiados con textos denigrantes para la mujer, sacados del Corán.
Asesinato
Van Gogh, que pese a las amenazas de muerte recibidas eludía la protección policial, fue asesinado poco después por un islamista holandés de origen marroquí en plena calle. Van Gogh se dirigía en bicicleta al trabajo cuando Mohammed Bouyeri, de 26 años y miembro de una organización islamista radical, le disparó, derribándolo de la bicicleta. Bouyeri, que portaba una chilaba larga, le remató a quemarropa en el suelo con veinte tiros más, le apuñaló varias veces y finalmente lo degolló. En el cadáver del director, clavada con un cuchillo en su pecho, el asesino dejó una carta de cinco páginas, firmada «en nombre de Alá», que incluía amenazas a los gobiernos occidentales, a los judíos y a los no creyentes. La carta iba dirigida a Ayan Hirsi Ali y les prometía a ella y a otros dirigentes holandeses (que citaba por sus nombres) un final similar.
El asesinato y la forma ritual en que se produjo provocó una enorme conmoción en Holanda, hasta el punto de que algunos lo llamaron el «11 de septiembre» holandés. Por vez primera se abrió un debate franco sobre el fundamentalismo y sobre la integración de los inmigrantes en los Países Bajos que, hasta entonces y salvo algunas excepciones como las de Pim Fortuyn, había sido eludido o considerado inapropiado.
El autor del crimen, Mohammed Bouyeri, fue detenido poco después, tras un intercambio de disparos con la policía a resultas del cual fue herido en una pierna. Nacido en Ámsterdam, aparentemente bien educado y bien integrado, no respondía al perfil del loco solitario. Fue acusado por la fiscalía de seis cargos criminales. El juicio contra Bouyeri se celebró durante el mes de julio de 2005. «Actué estrictamente en nombre de mi religión», declaró al Tribunal. «Algún día, si me liberasen, haría exactamente lo mismo.» Dirigiéndose a la madre de van Gogh, le dijo: «No puedo sentir nada por usted [...] porque creo que es una infiel.» Fue sentenciado el 26 de julio de 2005 a cadena perpetua. Mientras se celebraba el juicio, un consejo municipal de Ámsterdam se negó a que se erigiese un memorial en recuerdo de Theo van Gogh en el lugar del asesinato porque podría causar división. Solo las protestas de la madre, que llamó cobardes a los miembros del consejo municipal, logró que cambiasen de opinión. Finalmente, el 18 de marzo de 2007 fue inaugurada una escultura en su memoria titulada «El grito», que representa al cineasta gritando en defensa de la libertad de expresión. Está situada en el Oosterpark, en Ámsterdam, cerca del lugar donde fue asesinado. Submission
Working from a script written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, van Gogh created the 10-minute movie Submission. The movie deals with the topic of violence against women in Islamic societies; telling the stories of four abused Muslim women. The title itself, "Submission", is a translation of the word "Islam" into English. In the film, women's naked bodies are veiled with semi-transparent shrouds as they kneel in prayer, telling their stories as if they are speaking to Allah. Qur'anic verses unfavourable to women are projected onto their bodies in Arabic. After the movie was released in 2004, both van Gogh and Hirsi Ali received death threats. Van Gogh did not take these very seriously and refused any protection, reportedly telling Ayaan Hirsi Ali: "Who would want to kill the village idiot?
MIAMI (Reuters) - Professional wrestling superstar Chris Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son before hanging himself from his weight machine, authorities said on Tuesday.
Investigators said the murder-suicide happened over Friday and Saturday in the suburban Atlanta home where the bodies of Benoit, his wife and young son were found on Monday.
Nicknamed "The Rabid Wolverine" and "The Canadian Crippler," Benoit had cancelled two events in Texas over the weekend citing an undisclosed "family emergency," his employer, World Wrestling Entertainment, said on its Web site.
Benoit then sent "several curious text messages" to friends early Sunday morning and this prompted authorities to check on him and his family at their home, the statement said.
Autopsy results showed that Benoit first murdered his wife, Nancy. She was bound at the feet and wrists and died of asphyxiation sometime on Friday, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told a news conference.
She was wrapped in a towel and some blood was found under her head but Ballard said there were no other signs of a struggle.
The couple's son, who also died of asphyxia, was apparently killed as he lay in bed on Saturday morning, hours before Benoit hanged himself, Ballard said.
"It was the cord from the weights," he said, describing how Benoit managed to strangle himself.
Benoit left no suicide note but placed bibles alongside the bodies of his wife and son, Ballard added.
"In a community like this it's bizarre just to have a murder-suicide and certainly involving the death of a 7-year-old child," said Ballard. "I don't think we'll ever be able to wrap our minds around that completely."
Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said it could be several weeks before toxicology reports were available. But he said anabolic steroids were among the prescription drugs found in Benoit's house.
In some cases, use of muscle-building steroids has been linked by U.S. health officials to uncontrolled outbursts of anger or combativeness.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution said the Benoits had lived together since 1997 and were married in 2000 but separated about the same time Nancy Benoit filed for divorce in May 2003.
In an accompanying petition, the newspaper said Nancy Benoit had sought protection from domestic abuse, claiming she was intimidated by threats of violence from her husband.
She later filed to have the divorce and protective petitions dismissed.
Benoit began his career in his native Canada more than 20 years ago and wrestled in Japan before moving back to North America.
Every fifteen (15) seconds the crime of domestic violence, abuse and battering occurs. Women living in rural and urban areas are affected. Women of all economic, educational, ethnic and religious backgrounds are affected. Women of all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities can also be affected. There is no such thing as a “typical woman” when it comes to being a victim of domestic violence, abuse or battering. All women are at risk simply because they were born female.
DID YOU KNOW THAT:
More than 50% of child abductions result from domestic violence. (Geoffery Grief and Rebecca Hagar, “Abduction of Children by Their Parents: A Survey of the Problem”, Social Work, 1991)
Approximately 1 out of every 25 elderly persons is victimized annually. (Candace Heisler, “Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect”, 1991)
22% to 35% of women who visit emergency rooms are there for injuries related to on-going abuse. (“Journal of the American Medical Association”, 1990)
Up to 50% of all homeless women and children in this country are fleeing from domestic violence. (Elizabeth Schneider, “Legal Reform Efforts for Battered Women”, 1990)
5% to 25% of pregnant women are battered, (Evan Stark and Anne Flitcraft, 1992)
One out of every four gay couples (25%) experience domestic violence in their relationship. That is approximately the same rate as heterosexual couples. (“Family Violence Prevention Fund”, 1996)
A study of violence among dating couples of high school age found that 12% had experienced abuse in one of their relationships. (Nona O”Keefe, Karen Brockoff, Esther Chew, “Teen Dating Violence”, Social Work, November/December 1986)
Sexual abuse against disabled girls and women is roughly twice as high as for non-disabled girls and women. Considering that 33% of American women experience domestic violence, a conservative estimate says that at lest 60% of disabled women have experienced it. (“New Mobility Magazine”, 1995)
In 1994, 28% of the 4,739 women who were murdered were slain by a husband or boyfriend. (FBI)
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, over two-thirds of the female victims of violence documented in 1993 were related to or knew their attacker.
A 1992 study of family and intimate assaults reported in the “Journal of the American Medical Association, found that family and intimate assaults involving firearms are twelve (12) times more likely to result in death than all non-firearm family and intimate assaults.
A 1993 study in the “New England Journal of Family Medicine” revealed that homes experiencing domestic violence were close to five times more likely to be the scene of a homicide than other homes. It also reported that a handgun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a family member or an acquaintance than an intruder is.
The “Bureau of Justice” reports that although divorced and separated women comprise only 7% of the population in the U.S., they account for 75% of all battered women and report being assaulted fourteen times more often than women still living with a partner.
Do you fall within the above statistics? Have you experienced domestic violence, abuse or battering in any form? If so, please begin the necessary steps to get out and stay out of a bad relationship. Don’t put it off because you could end up dead.
PREDICTING WHO MAY BECOME ABUSERS AND/OR BATTERERS
Many signs may occur before the actual abuse or battering begins. Read the following list of signs. Get yourself a pen or pencil and some paper. Ask yourself the questions and answer them. Be sure you write your answers on the paper so you can review them. You may find clues that you are heading towards living in a relationship filled with domestic violence.
Did he grow up in a family that used violence as a control factor? Growing up in a violent family where the children were abused or one parent was beaten regularly may have led him to believe that violence is normal behavior.
Does he have a tendency to use force or violence to solve his problems? Does he have a criminal record for violence? Does he get into fights now or did he in his younger years? Does he like to act tough? If so he may act the same way with his wife and children.
Does he have a quick temper? Does he tend to over-react to little problems or frustrations? Is he now or was he ever cruel to animals? When he gets upset does he do things like punch the wall or throw things? If he posses any of these behavior patterns he may be a person who will work out what he sees as problems with violence.
Is he or was he ever an abuser of alcohol or drugs? Strong links between violence and abuse of alcohol and drugs have been documented. Watch for signs of possible drinking and drug use problems. Be especially on the alert if he refuses to admit he has a problem or refuses to get help. Do not ever believe that you can change him.
Does he have strong beliefs about what a man should be and what a woman should be? Does he believe that a woman’s place is to stay home? Does he believe that a woman’s job is to take care of her husband? Does he believe that a woman should follow his wishes and take orders from him?
Is he jealous of the relationships you have with other men you know, your family or other female friends? Does he keep tabs on your comings and goings? Do you have to tell him where you are all of the time? Does he want you to be with him all of the time?
Does he own or have access to lethal weapons such as guns and knives? Has he ever threatened to use them on other people? Does he talk about getting even with people?
Does he expect or demand that you follow his orders or take his advice? If you don’t fulfill his wishes or anticipate his needs does he become angry?
Does he have periods of extreme highs and lows? Do you sometime think you are living with two different people? Is he ever extremely kind some of the time and extremely cruel at other times?
Do you fear him when he gets angry? Has a major part of your life become trying to not make him angry? Instead of doing things you’d rather do, do you find yourself doing whatever he wants to do?
Has he ever treated you roughly? Has he ever used physical force to make you do things you didn’t want to do?
Were you happy with your answers? Did you find any clues that you may be heading for domestic violence? If you did, begin making your plans to get out and stay out. If you put it off you may end up dead.
There are many theories that attempt to explain why some men use violence against their partners. Some of those theories include the following: chemical dependency, economic hardship, family dysfunction, lack of spirituality, poor communication skills, provocation by women and stress. While these issues can be associated with the abuse and battering of women, they are not the causes. If the associated factors are removed the violence of men against women will not come to an end. The abuser begins using violence as an effective method for gaining and keeping his control over someone else. He continues the abuse and battering for the same reasons. It is sad to say but the abuser usually does not suffer any adverse consequences because of his behavior. History shows us that violence against women has not been treated as a “real” crime. Lack of severe consequences such as economic penalties and incarceration for the men guilty of abuse and battering makes this apparent. Men who are known abusers and batterers are rarely ostracized. Most abusers and batterers are accepted by the people in their communities regardless of how they treat their partners. Usually no one can tell by looking at them that they are abusers and batterers because they come from all backgrounds, groups and personality profiles. But there are some characteristics that fit the profile of abusers and batterers such as:
The abuser/batterer sees women as objects. He does not view women as people. He has no respect for women as a group. He sees women as property and sexual objects.
An abuser/batterer has low self-esteem. He feels powerless and ineffective. Although he may appear to be successful, inside he feels inadequate.
An abuser/batterer finds external excuses for his behavior. He will blame his violence on having had a bad day, alcohol or drug use, his partner’s behavior or anything that comes to mind to excuse his violent actions.
He may be charming and pleasant between his acts of violence. Outsiders may view him as a nice guy.
An abuser/batterer may display some warning signs such as: a bad temper, cruelty to animals, extreme jealousy, possessiveness, verbal abuse and/or unpredictability. Has you partner displayed any of the above warning signs? Have you experienced any abuse or battering from your partner? If you have, begin making your plans to get out and stay out. Once the abuse and battering starts it usually will escalate so leave before you end up dead.
WHY WOMEN STAY IN VIOLENT RELATIONSHIPS
The question, “Why do women stay in a violent relationship?” is often answered by the victim being blamed. Victims of abuse and battering often hear statements like: “you must like it or you would leave.” or “you’re just one of many women who love too much.” or “you must need to be treated badly.” or “you must really have low self-esteem.” But the truth is that no one wants to be or enjoys being abused or battered. Their emotional state or self-image does not cause them to want to be in a violent relationship. A woman’s reasons for staying in a violent relationship are more complex. Making statements about her strength of character does not explain why she stays. It can be dangerous for a woman to leave her abuser. More problems can be caused for the woman if her abuser is in control of all of the economic and social status of their relationship. Leaving could mean she will live in fear for her life, the loss of custody of her children or loss of financial support. She may even be afraid of harassment at work. While there is no profile for the “typical woman” who will be abused or battered, there is documentation on what generally happens once the violence begins. Abused and battered women will experience embarrassment, isolation and shame. She may not leave the violent relationship immediately because of the following reasons:
She realistically fears that the violence will escalate and may become fatal if she tries to leave.
She may not have the much-needed support of her family and friends if she leaves.
She knows how difficult it will be to be a single parent with reduced financial support.
She may still be experiencing good times, love and hope mixed in with the manipulation, intimidation and fear.
She may not know where to get help or have access to a safe place and support.
Some women may believe that getting a divorce is not a viable alternative. Many women have been taught and believe that a single parent family is unacceptable and that a violent father is better than no father. Many women have been taught that they are responsible for making their marriage work. Many women believe that a failed marriage means that they have failed as a woman. Many women were taught that their identity and worth is dependant on her getting and keeping a man in her life. Being isolated by a jealous or possessive abuser may cause a woman to lose touch with her family and friends. She may have even isolated herself to hide the signs of being abused or battered from the outside world. Isolation may have contributed to her sense that there is nowhere for her turn. A woman may rationalize the violent behavior by blaming alcohol or drug abuse, problems at work, stress, unemployment or anything else that comes to mind. A woman is rarely abused or battered all of the time. There may be periods of non-violence. During the non-violent phase her abuser may fulfill her dreams of romantic love. She may be lulled into believing her abuser is basically a good man. She may believe that she should hold on to her “good man”, reinforcing her decision to stay in the relationship. She may believe that her abuser is basically good until he lets off steam because something bad happened to him. Do you see yourself using any of the above rationalizations? If you do, do you really want to live the rest of your life in fear of the next violent outburst? The violent circle won’t change. Make plans to get out and stay out. Do it now before you end up dead.

Jennifer López solidaria con las víctimas de Ciudad Juárez
Viernes, 16 de Febrero de 2007
Gemma Casadevall / Agencia EFE BERLÍN – Jennifer López compareció ante la Berlinale comprometida con la causa de los asesinatos masivos de mujeres de Ciudad Juárez, tal como la periodista estadounidense que interpreta en "Bordertown".
"Yo no sabía nada del caso, nunca había oído hablar de ello, pero al leer el guión vi que debía hacer algo, aportar mi contribución", explicó la actriz, sentada al lado del español Antonio Banderas, que interpreta un papel secundario en el film dirigido por Gregory Nava.
"Uno no puede quedarse cruzado de brazos y volver a la rutina sin más, había que hablar de ello", hizo hincapié López, principal protagonista de la película incluida en la sección a competición de la Berlinale y por la cual recibió ayer, jueves, el premio "Artistas por los Derechos Humanos", que concede Amnistía Internacional.
Jennifer López acaparó los flashes de los fotógrafos en la presentación de la película, mientras Nava se extendía en los asesinatos de mujeres en esa ciudad mexicana fronteriza con EE.UU.
"Primero hablaban de trescientas, luego de cuatrocientas, de 450, o finalmente sabremos que serán más de 4,000", explicó el director, para añadir que "todo empezó con la entrada en funcionamiento" de las maquiladoras.
Las maquiladoras son las factorías de ensamblaje instaladas a lo largo de la frontera mexicana en virtud del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), que emplean a gran número de trabajadoras.
Desde 1993, cientos de ellas han sido asesinadas y sus cadáveres aparecieron enterrados.
Según Nava, el objetivo de la cinta es "denunciar unos crímenes que las autoridades estadounidenses y mexicanas quisieran silenciar" y para los que se han barajado múltiples hipótesis –desde crímenes organizados a asesinatos rituales–, pero hasta ahora no hubo investigaciones a fondo.
Nava insistió en que el compromiso con la denuncia de esos crímenes no es únicamente suya o de su actriz, "aunque sin Jennifer López no habría película", porque su presencia diluyó problemas de financiación.
El equipo entero compartió su convicción, "empezando por Antonio", explicó Nava, que además de con el dúo de lujo del actor español y la actriz estadounidense llegó a la Berlinale con Maya Zapata, quien interpreta a una muchacha mexicana que sobrevive casi por milagro a una de esas agresiones.
A Banderas, que dos días antes presentó la película dirigida por él "El camino de los ingleses" en la sección Panorama, se le dirigieron múltiples flashes, pero ninguna pregunta.
También estuvo ahí el bonaerense Juan Diego Botto –a quien corresponde la única escena de amor del filme–, la productora Bárbara Martínez Jitner y una de las personas que mejor conocen el caso, Norma Andrade, cuya hija fue asesinada en 2001.
Andrade es una de las fundadoras de Nuestras Hijas de Regreso a Casa, asociación que agrupa a familiares de las víctimas de los asesinatos de Ciudad Juárez.
"Por favor, no se callen, escriban. Escriban hoy, esta tarde, pero pregunten también en ocho días qué pasa en Ciudad Juárez", clamó Andrade, quien hizo una emotiva denuncia tanto de las amenazas que ella ha sufrido como de los obstáculos interpuestos por las autoridades políticas y judiciales de su país para investigar.
"Nuestro único apoyo ha sido la presión internacional", explicó Andrade con lágrimas en los ojos y portando un retrato de su hija Alejandra con la palabra "justicia" escrita en él.
"La verdad es mucho más dura que el film", aseguró.
No le dan credibilidad
La Berlinale no se creyó ni a la protagonista, Jennifer López, ni al film "Bordertown", más cercano al cine de acción que a un tema de esa dimensión precisa.
Aun en presencia de la pareja estelar, la crítica internacional se tomó casi a risa una película que no encaja en lo que se espera ver en un festival.
Había un ambiente adverso de entrada, puesto que se daba por supuesto que J.Lo no sería capaz de dar cuerpo a una periodista estadounidense metida a investigar las muertes de centenares de mujeres en esa ciudad fronteriza mexicana.
La presencia en la Berlinale de Norma Andrade, madre de una de esas muchachas desaparecidas, dio la dimensión justa de las cosas y sirvió al objetivo del director de "denunciar esa cuestión".
Mi nombre es Ada M. Álvarez Conde, tengo 22 años y resido en Miami Florida. A los 16 años comencé a interesarme por el tema de la violencia en el noviazgo y las maneras para combatirla. Trabajé de voluntaria en el periódico estudiantil TINELLER; e hize un reportaje sobre lo mismo. Ese mismo año, basándome en experiencias personales e investigaciones comenzé a desarrollar mi pasión, la escritura en este tema. Se creó la novela: Lo que no dije. Estoy escribiendo la edición bilingue de la novela y editando mi poemario. Luego de trabajar por dos años la publiqué a los 19 convirtiéndome en la novelista más joven de Puerto Rico. Por medio de la internet, de crear conciencia sobre este problema, especialmente en sus inicios para evitar los accidentes. Actualmente estudio mi maestria en periodismo y espero que este site sirva para ayudar a crear un mundo de paz.
Este libro es un sueño para mí. Como escritora desde joven he ganado varios premios, pero entiendo que ninguno me complementa más que este porque es una obra inspirada en un problema social y así puedo ayudar a mi país; con este site al mundo. Quiero ayudar a las mujeres que están en el problema y darles herramientas a los que están alrededor de ellas para que las ayuden. Este es mi granito de arena. Ayúdame a demostrar que una persona puede cambiar el mundo. Dicen que el que calla otorga y espero profundamente que apoye mi novela y este site, para que muchos lean LO QUE NO DIJE y salgan de la soledad, del maltrato y sobretodo del silencio. Si quieres la novela visita www.loquenodije.com
y para el quiz.
