Muslim Justice; The Perfect Oxymoron

A sharia "court" in Riyadh in the Blessed Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has more than doubled the punishment of a 19 year old gang rape victim to 200 lashes and a six month jail sentence because she publicised her case. She had earlier been condemned to 90 lashes and six months for being in a car with an unrelated male at the time of the attack.

If you educate a man you have an educated individual, if you educate a woman you have an educated nation. Any ideology, like Islam, that treats women like door-mats is doomed for the rubbish bin. With Islam, the inevitable implosion or total reform will only occur when the civilised world stops having to feed it with petrodosh.

In the meanwhile, women under Islam will have to endure their degradations and the rest of us stand firm in the defense of our hard won liberties.
