An appeal court in Saudi Arabia has doubled the number of lashes and added a jail sentence as punishment for a woman who was gang-raped.

& these guys are our allies? I can't believe we let those fkers into Buckingham Palace a few weeks ago on a state visit! Oh yer, I forgot, BAe have a jet fighter contract with em.

I guess BSDM must be rather popular over there...

fuckin medieval over there

Invade.

What the fuck. I find it very hard to accept another culture that thinks its okay to treat a victim of a horrible crime as a fucking criminal.

Thats fucking disgusting, these people are sub-human.

It's because under Islamic law a rape victim must provide four witnesses to verify her story that the sex was not consensual.

Thing is women aren't allowed to drive cars there either....

We had a funny discussion in my Arabic class the other day when a student asked my teacher what the word for "girlfriend" was in Arabic. Our teacher had trouble explaining that the concept of dating doesn't exist in Arabic countries because unwed men and women can be beaten if they are found in each others company.


Then there's also the jizya, a tax that non-Muslims have to pay...and the belief that women and non-Muslims only count as half a person.

Too bad this is their religion and culture, sometimes being ethnocentric and intolerant of some religions sounds like a pretty good idea.

what about jews?

not so rofl...

Hey, if we had those laws here in the States, shit would be in order. Crime is running rampant here because there's no fear.

Yeah but there is a thin line between being intolerant of a few aspects of a particular religion and then just being a racist prick who thinks "WE SHOULD JUST NUKE EM ALL"

what was she thinking, going out and getting gang-raped.
100 lashes is not enough i say. take her to the guillotine.




























"bangyourhead:

shoot them all

lol.

At least it keeps them in line somewhat...

...here we run rampant...and females are the lucky ones now.

yeah, but there's also an even thinner line between denouncing a group's religious beliefs (no matter how backwards they are) and threatening their religious rights...

I fail to see how gang raping someone gets you jail time and being in a car with a man other than your husband and getting beaten plus jailtime is "keeping them in line".

im now saying it should be that bad...im just basically saying...womens have way too amny rights compared to guys now...

...all they need to do is LIE...and we're in jail.

wow you certainly fucked that post up. fucking moron.

pyro needs to get gang raped

Pyro if you have ANY love for Canada I would suggest pre-screening your input on this site. You bring a bad name to your country with your perpetual ignorant shit here, please try and be a diplomat from now on. Thank you.

fixed

What a bunch of fucking apes.

It's just the ulemmas highjacking the religion and using it to establish political control. The people are subject to the interpretations made by their religious leaders...if the corrupt or zealous leaders weren't there than shari'a wouldn't be as prevalent. Just look at Indonesia. It has the highest number of Muslim inhabitants of any country in the world yet it has the most relaxed shari'a law because they don't let leaders like that get their way.
