Get raped, get 90 lashes. Sounds fair

She's lucky. She might have drawn a death sentence by stoning.


Wrong. Sharia allows stoning for adultery and apostasy.

In accordance with hadith, stoning to death is the penalty for married men and women who commit adultery.[7] For unmarried men and women, the punishment prescribed in the Qur'an and hadith is 100 lashes.

According to traditional interpretations of the Sharia (Islamic Law), stoning to death is primarily prescribed as a punishment for married people who engage in extra marital sex.

You, who has claimed to have lived in the Arab world, and have opened thread after thread portraying how baaaad Muslims are, should know this. Clearly, you do not know what you are talking about.

You are not suggesting that these things do not happen in Muslim countries are you? or that the fact that they do happen is not really all that baaaad?
 
Question: Are all Muslim countries truly the same? I find a hard time accepting that you can judge any particular country based on the majority religion or even the state religion.

Are there any Muslim countries that don't reach the spotlight, and aren't as harsh in sentencing/laws/etc.?

Of course not.

Steve claimed that she could have been stoned to death in Saudi Arabia. Despite his ongoing campaign against Muslims, he has, once again, proved that he doesn't know what he is talking about.
 
I wonder what the rape law is in Kuwait?

Don't know. But the lashes are actually being given (if she gets them) for having been in a car, alone, with a man she wasn't married to. The article seems skimpy on a few details, but as I understand it, he wasn't involved in the rape (I could well be wrong on this!). But, her having been in the car with him is what the lashes are for.

Now, silly me, I would think being gang raped 14 times would be enough of a lesson.

Of course the fact that she was blackmailed into getting into the car might shoulda been taken into consideration also.

But then I tend to think that justice should = fair. Of course, that's not always the case.
 
So no stoning? Whew! Glad to see they only whip their gang-rape victims!

Maybe in fifty years they'll just jail rape victims instead of torturing them.

Now we're talking progress. Muslim women living under Sharia law...You've come a long way, baby!

Some Nazis* didn't murder Jews. They just used them for medical experiments, which isn't too bad, I guess. Some good came out of it, I guess.


* Godwin's Law does not apply when comparing to a culture which kills adulterers and gives 100 lashes to unmarried people who have sex because Godwin's Law relates to its use as exaggeration, as hyperbole. When it's not, you be the judge.
 
Of course not.

So she'd only be stoned to death if she happened to be married at the time of the rape. Good point Claus, nothing bad here... errr, wait a minute... :rolleyes:

I thought this thread would be about a rough night in the old leather and whips clubs in NYC. Whoops. Sadomasochism this wasn't.
the article said:
Five of the rapists were arrested and given jail terms ranging from 10 months to five years. The prosecutor had asked for the death penalty for the men.
It is good to see that these gents will be doing time for the rape.

Saudi Arabia exists under pure Shari'a law and enforces Hadd offenses.


Within sharia law, there is a specific set of offences known as the Hadd offences. These are crimes punished by specific penalties, such as stoning, lashes or the severing of a hand. The penalties for Hadd offences are not universally adopted as law in Islamic countries.

Some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, claim to live under pure sharia law and enforce the penalties for Hadd offences. In others, such as Pakistan, the penalties have not been enforced. The majority of Middle Eastern countries, including Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria, have not adopted Hadd offences as part of their state laws.

Hadd offences carry specific penalties, set by the Koran and by the prophet Mohammed. These include unlawful sexual intercourse (outside marriage); false accusation of unlawful intercourse; the drinking of alcohol; theft; and highway robbery. Sexual offences carry a penalty of stoning to death or flogging while theft is punished with cutting off a hand.

I restate my original remark that this rape victim was lucky to only be sentenced to flogging....in spite of the severe pain and physical shock involved.

Unlawful sexual intercourse is defined as sexual intercourse outside marriage. This could conceivably be interpreted to mean that this occurs if an unmarried female is raped. It is a given if the victim happens to be married
because it becomes one definition of adultery.

Either way, it seems that our chief apologist for islamic atrocities would defend Saudi Arabia's justice system by accusing me of being inaccurate.
His unwavering defense of Shari'a islamic justice and fundamentalism is duly noted as usual.


And BTW when I visited* the middle East, principally Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Egypt regularly (from 1977-1983) on projects involving health care infrastructure projects, atrocities under Shari'a in Saudi Arabia weren't routinely publicized.

*I never established residency in the middle-east and traveled to and fro from home bases in London and Paris.

My guess is that if she gets the lashes, the physical wounds won't be healed when the first ones get out. But might be by the time the last rapist is released.

So let's see how this weighs out..

5 months for involvement in a gang rape. 90 lashes for being in a car (under threat of blackmail) with a man your not married to.

Yea, guess that's about right :covereyes

If anyone ever deserved a good stoning (based on the little details given) these guys did. IMHO

The more I think about this the more insane it appears.

I hope there are some big facts left out.

Because destroying a country and killing its citizens isn't the best way to express our outrage on how they treat their citizens?
