You said
Had she only obeyed the law she wouldnt have got raped.
What law did she break 11Bravo?
Yes, I did say that.
She sat the backseat of a car with a man she wasn't married to.
So...what did you say?
Had she only obeyed the law she wouldnt have got raped.
You said, had she not broken the law she wouldn't have been raped.
YOU said it.
You said if she hadn't been sitting in that backseat she wouldn't have been raped.
Embrace your ignorance. If you're going to flaunt it in front of the world wide web, at least embrace it while you're doing it.

The lashing don't bother me. If she wants to live in a society that gives lashes for having male friends, she has the right to. More power to her. She broke the law she has chosen to live under. That's separate from the rape issue.

It's not an Islamic thing, it's a regional thing. There are still quite a few backward Christian sects out there in the Arab World as well as in Africa. Some of them are quite extreme and almost indistinguishable from the Jihadis except for the fact that they are wearing crosses around their necks instead of the traditional garb and beard.

It has to do with morals... Morals for a living breatheing human being. Did she want to get raped by these men? Instead of punishing the victim, the criminals who perpitrated this crime should be the ONLY ones recieveing severe punishment!

I just noticed, this thread title is highly misleading, the woman was lashed for being with an unrelated man, not for being raped. Why do people insist on sensationalizing and outright lying about the situation?
The situation itself is bad enough without having to distract from it by lying that she was punished for being raped....

Bit man have you lost your mind dude??? WE PUNISH the guilty, and PROTECT the victim... we do not punish a women who was raped - we never have and never will... Its just not right...
But I do get your point. I just don't agree with it. A women world wide deserves protection from rapists, what ever religion, what ever creed, what ever colour.
Rape is not just a crime, it is an assault on the soul and mind of the victim. It is about power over the victim.. about defileing the victim...
Sheesh, guess ill leave this thread alone now....its making me feel ill the very thought these people think like this........
I agree if you are saying it shouldnt be against the law to ride in a car with a man other than your husband, but its not our law, its theirs, and I would think that one of the very reasons for this law was to keep women from being raped.
Had she only obeyed the law she wouldnt have got raped.

Nope, i think islam and the west are not compatible whilst they still are in the stone age both mentally and emotionally.

My understanding is that these happen a lot in the US with people getting the death penalty, just on a much smaller scale.
