Unjust sentence for Saudi Arabian rape victim

[axia777]

This is a good example of how the Middle East may look down on us Westerns(including Europe and Canada) but I can just point at shit like this. Look down on us they say? Last time I checked none of our countries punish rape victims. Fucking asshole.

We are a different religion than them. That's reason enough for them to "look down" on us.

Next time they openly "look down" on us, I say we acknowledge the fact by replying with a Tactical Nuclear Warhead. See how much they "look down" on us then.

After reading this shit I wonder how much I really am against Nukes.

Fucking bastards. This is actually so typical of an Islamic country, a girl gets raped and she gets punished. Fucking bullshit and retarded laws. Fucking Muslims.

While I definatly think it's stupid, it's what they believe and it won't change.


Besides most laws, even British and American laws are influenced by Christianity... unfortunately.

I remember my dad telling me about when he discussed the role of women in Islam in a college psychology class. Apparently, unlike the West, where women are typically seen as being the purer and more innocent of the two sexes, the opposite is true in their culture. Women are viewed as sinful, corrupting and scandalous, while men are wise and pure.

It's not like the Qu'ran (spelling?) says "Women are evil", it's just something buried in their subconcious and culture. It's really no wonder they hate the West so much considering how cruel and backwards their culture is(in our eyes, at least).

Still, punishing the VICTIM of a rape is absolutely wrong, no matter how messed up your worldview is.

Except during warfare, that's a great question to ask yourself.

Unjust sentence for a woman? In a muslim country?

This can not be!!

Yeah...unfortunately this doesn't come as much of a surprise to me. Women are treated absolutely horribly in muslim countries. I wish they could all flee to safety or something.

 

[Kadamon]

Just to make it clear, don't mix religions up, this is obviously in the Saudi Arabian area so these people have... very different ways of looking at it.

Christians wouldn't do such a thing, and would probably get all the mens who "participated" hung for this atrocity.

Plrease, don't mix up religions.

Okay, the current electoral/party formation is so:

President: Khell Sennet
Vice-President: Darth Mobius
Random evil bastard on the sidelines/Minister for war: Lord Fondant
Minister for Peace: Cuddly Tomatoe


Anyone else?

You know this happened 2 years ago now, I mean she's already had the punishment and is possibly dead now. Still I think we should let other cultures rule themselves how they want its none of your business unless you are actively being affected by it or live there

Actually this shit happens on an almost weekly basis. This is not an unusual situation. These atrocities are extremely common in saudi.

 

[orifice]

Vote for Khell Sennet and genocidal war!

I'm with you Khell. Bloody wars are a favourite of mine.

Seconded!! I'll fight!

OH MY GAWD! SOMETHING COMPLETELY UNRELATED IS HAPPENING IN A COUNTRY THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH!

QUICK! IMPOSE WESTERN VALUES ON EASTERN CULTURE, BEFORE PEOPLE SAY WE'RE BARBARIANS!

[uncle-ellis]

Fucking Muslims.

Ummmmmm WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE MODS RIGHT NOW!

Actually, we do in a way. The torture equipment that Saudi Arabia uses is all American Made [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3861/is_200401/ai_n9396097].

A stern letter to your Congressional representative might be a good idea.

Wearing dragon costumes and dancing at new year = culture.

Making head dresses out of feathers and smoking a pipe of peace = culture.

Dressing up a Napoleonic war soldiers and performing a battle re-enactment = culture.

Arguing with your parents about your music not being too loud = culture.

Kayaking in a race on traditionally hand crafted boats carved from the single trunk of a tree sacred to your people = culture.

Whipping women in reponse to them being raped = not culture. Or if you want to stretch the definition that far then we can call the invasion of such cultures our culture.

Im glad I live in the west.

(And no, I have not been gang raped.)

Can I be minister for foreign relations!

 

[Rolling Thunder]

@Orifice: dear go no. You can be minister for the interior. My first task for you (if you want to be borrowing my lovely special forces troops) is to arrange for the arrest and/or excecution of Rupert Murdoch.


@Cuddly: I like your reasoning.....

Ah, well then, since your nation has an accepted culture of human rights abuses and is so permited to be abjectly barbaric and cruel to half it's population, my nation has an accepted culture of bombing other nations into the stone age.

Well this is just disgusting.

The news says this woman in Saudi Arabia was gang raped 14 times and, while the men were all trialed and convicted, she is now being sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail for participating in a sexual activity.

Strange, since I never knew being gang raped was defined as "participating."

Also, while it's not in this particular link, I read this woman also fell pregnant. Which is one the reasons she had her punishment increased from 100 lashes to 200.

Frankly, this sort of thing is atrocious, and shows the horrible outcomes of having a government so heavily influenced by religion. Not to mention extremist religious rulers.

Now don't be mistaken and assume I'm anti-thiest, I'm not. But I belief no government or court should be influenced by religious views and instead just do what is fair and just.

This is not just.

And Saudi Arabi is a US ally, a key US ally with alot of oil, but you don't see the US looking to liberate the people from the tyrannical absolute monarchy.

EDIT:
Also, look again: "A lawyer for a gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia who was sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in jail says the punishment contravenes Islamic law."

Hence, its more likely corruption than religion - one of the many princes has a friend amongst the rapists, most likely.

Now don't be mistaken and assume I'm anti-thiest, I'm not.

I am. For a good reason too: This is the kind of retarded bullshit you get when your country is run by people that believe in magical invisible men in space that tell them how to do things, and then pervert and subvert every teaching by said men to suit their own needs, and extend their own aims, while simultaneously abusing their power to force said perversions on people.

Fixed. I'm one of those crazy people who believe in invisible men in space, and I'd rather you not lump me in with the megalomaniac usurpers they call leaders over there.

That' rather... sick...

Nothing good ever came of religion thank you. But if it makes you feel better, I don't care so long as people keep it to themselves.
