Daggers Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 16yr old kills herself after being forced to marry her rapist Take it away, Tony...
MC Prussian Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 I thought it was about Sharia Law, Shania Twain's sister.
darko2k7 Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Thats really awful, poor girl . RIP This is my 666 th Post , kind of fitting seeing as this is pure evil.
danny. Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Suppose it all makes sense, if you view women as sub-human objects.
Captain... Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Awful story that and ridiculous law I guess it comes from the idea that sex before marriage is dishonourable unless you then marry, but that is a twisted interpretation of it. The story has widely spread on Twitter and on Facebook with many in Morocco demanding action against the judge who issued the ruling. Hopefully it can be picked up spread by social media and affect a change in the law because that is just horrendous.
steveherbe Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Bastards. No wonder we're always fighting these animals - sweeping statement maybe, but you get my drift.
danny. Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Hopefully it can be picked up spread by social media and affect a change in the law because that is just horrendous. Isn't the law from God/Allah though - if so how can it be changed?
Captain... Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 The comments on that article are quite eye-opening 22 - You western don't understand: Islamic man (Guest) 02:53pm GMT, 05:53pm KSA, 14/03/2012 Please Americans do not judge. Us Muslims and believers of Islam do things the Islamic way and the Holy book guides us everyday on how to live a moral and faithful life. This may be confusion to non believers, but assure you that if you were Muslim, marrying your rapist makes total sense. Americans are not of our faith and therefore ignorant of what is right and wrong. May Allah forgive this woman of committing this un-Islamic and coward like act. Was quite a disturbing one I also nearly spat my tea on my laptop when I saw that someone had titled their comment: 19 - you break it, you buy it

Captain... Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Isn't the law from God/Allah though - if so how can it be changed? Well the article talks of the Women’s Solidarity Association wanting to create an ammendment to the law, which I am assuming would be that it is only applicable under the consent of the women. If they are basing the law on texts written thousands of years ago there needs to be some scope for modernisation. The "logic" seems to be that rape brings dishonour on the woman and her family, but by marrying the girl afterwards then their honour is restored. There is precedent of such rulings being overturned due to global pressure: Last year Afghan 21-year-old Gulnaz was jailed for 'adultery by force' after she was brutally raped by her husband's cousin. Her attacker was jailed for seven years for the crime that left her pregnant. A global outrage saw the President of Afghanistan personally pardoning her and releasing her from Kabul's Badam Bagh jail, with no pre-conditions. This doesn't specify if the law in that case was just changed or just this one ruling over turned.
21st Century Fox Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Its lucky the Catholic church doesn't have this rule, there'd be so many 12 year old boys married to Catholic priests and you now how they frown on gay marriage.
Guest Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 How much is this down to religion, per se, and how much is it using religious beliefs as a means of oppressing women? (PS. This is a rhetorical question).
Captain... Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 http://news.yahoo.co...-210000330.html this one irked me yesterday when i read it Oh fvck off, a case against a muslim was thrown out of court due to lack of evidence. Then the judge tells the defendant that wearing a zombie costume of the prophet Mohammed is not a good idea and he should probably expect to offend people by doing so. That is not Sharia law, that has nothing to do with anything other than common sense on the part of the judge. Then linking it to a campaign to get sharia law banned from courts that have never and have no intention of ruled under Sharia law. A load of anti islam bollox that is. Although I do wonder what a Zombie Mohammed costume would look like seeing as all images of Mohammed are banned.
JadeFalcon Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 no they had evidence on film, the judge wouldnt allow it http://jonathanturle...ictim-a-doofus/ the original article with video and a link to ABC. it wasnt thrown out on lack of evidence, it was thrown out because the judge was a muslim convert then lied and said he was not. ergo the rights of one religion trumped the entire contitution just gotta love how some people quickly come out with "anti-islam"
Guest Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 No, there was a grainy video of the incident; the judge wouldnt allow it to be admitted in evidence. That's better.
Captain... Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 thanks for that That video cannot be used to prove anything. Lets put it this way. Imagine it wasn't a man dressed as a Zombie Mohammed (and a really poor one at that, he ven had to have his name on piece of paper so people would know who he was supposed to be) instead it was a man exercising his freedom of speech to chant and show support for the EDL or the BNP, and he was accosted, had his banner ripped down and told in no uncertain terms to fvck off. Or the West Boro baptist church, if we are keeping it american. The judge decided not to do anything because, a) no physical harm was done and b) the harrassment was clearly brought upon himself by trying to be provocative in that way. (I am pretty sure what he did would be illegal here in the UK).
Daggers Posted 15 March 2012 Author Posted 15 March 2012 How much is this down to religion, per se, and how much is it using religious beliefs as a means of oppressing women? (PS. This is a rhetorical question). And the willingness for feminists to condemn violence to women - but only white women?
Guest Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 And the willingness for feminists to condemn violence to women - but only white women? That is quite amazing. Not in a good sense either.
Guest Bilo Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 Sharia law is utterly barbaric, but then I wouldn't particularly want to live in a country that doled out Old Testament 'justice' either. Samuel 12:2-3, (Genocide) This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” Exodus 21:20-21 (Slavery) ‘If a man takes a stick and beats his slave, whether male or female, and the slave dies on the spot, the man is to be punished. But if the slave does not die for a day or two, the master is not to be punished. The loss of his property is punishment enough’ Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (Rape) ‘Suppose a man is caught raping a girl who is not engaged. He is to pay the girl’s father the bride price of fifty pieces of silver, and she is to become his wife, because he forced her to have intercourse with him’ Remarkably similar to Sharia that last one before we start slamming those pesky foreigns as backward savages. Religion and modern law making are incompatible, incidents like this are the perfect proof of that.
