    and i thought Islam was the peaceful and non violent religion?

    Says a guy on a message board based in a part of the world where people from rival sects have been slaughtering each other on and off for four hundred years.

    Every culture is wrong except my one.

    Two things.

    One, the brother obviously has bad dose of: jealous-my-sister-is-famous-itis.

    Secondly, this looks as if he is only sentenced because of who the sister is and who might be watching.

    I seen a Channel4 Docu (Unreported World) there quite recently and this happens all the time and no one gives a ****, It even happens in these communities in the UK, so kinda strange to see him get six months when worse goes unpunished.

    Be nice if it was to become the norm.

    There have been over 50 muslims in Great Britain convicted of various charges, related to forcing young white girls (talking 13/14 years of age) into prostitution, drugs, etc and then dumping them. Apparently it wasn't investigated fully as certain elements of the police were afraid of "racial sensitivities".

    That's one hell of a punchline.

    i thought Islam was the peaceful and non violent religion?

    No, you didn't as proved by so much of your prior posting, This is just another attempt to wind-up the masses.

    Anyhow we all know that Christianity and in particular Roman Catholicism is the only true peaceful and non-violent religion. :rolleyes:

    Just in case, it is the year 1432 according to Islamic calendar, not 2011. So their actions very much modern to their age. Women were burn alive on European town squares in 1432.

    Maybe we should adopt the Jewish calender ?

    Agreed. However, people have every right to condemn the barbarity of this act (leaving the religion out of it) without insinuations that it's cultural intolerance or being reminded that similar stuff was done in the name of Christianity hundreds/thousands of years ago. An act of brutality is an act of brutality.

    FFS - ironically, it's those police who are bringing race into it.

    Its scientifcally proven that people who don't eat pork are prone to Violent rages.A good feed of chorizo sausages,salami,ham,bacon etc would remove all these violent tendencies.Eating piggy means a peacefull world.;)

    Die!....piggy....die!.

    Catholicism has grown men having anal sex with young boys but suddenly it's Islam that has issues? :rolleyes: Grow up, cop the fuck on and don't tar a whole religion with one brush.

    No it doesn't. In fact Catholicism is distinctly against that kind of thing.

    Islam on the other hand.....

    People have grown out of the barbaric nature of Christianity because they realise it's wrong, hasn't quite reached way out east yet.

    No, they're just massive hypocrites.

    "See, this part of the book only applies to Jews but this part, which I can use to justify my prejudices, is okay."
    Just because they don't practice the hideously barbaric parts of their religion doesn't meant they're not a part of it.

    No it doesn't. It isn't at all part of catholicism - it was done by catholic priests, there's a difference. Whereas this fanatical act, while not at all representative of the majority of muslims and certainly shouldn't be used as currency for islamophobia, is still viewed by some as a legitimate tradition.

    There's nothing "suddenly" about it. And there is nothing wrong with condemning this act in itself at all.

    Maybe if a Hindu blows up a few yanks one day, we'll get threads about this kind of thing....

    Then we just need a few others from different places and religions to follow suit and you never know, the phrase 'womens rights in the developing world' might pop into peoples heads...

    Yes, there's nothing wrong in condemning this act in itself at all. But that's not what is happening here, a barbaric act committed by a young man against his sister as a result of a literal taking of Islamic doctrine is being used as an excuse for criticising an entire religion.

    No doubt you're perfectly familiar with the fact that the bible is full of ridiculous doctrine and fallacy that the vast majority of christians don't practise at all, bar some crackpot minor sects. The problem is with Western media constantly constantly illuminating the darker side of Islam leading to people assuming that this is the case for the majority of the religion.
    There are far more Christian nutjobs in Britain and Ireland than there are Muslims (being Christian majority countries) yet they don't get half the publicity because of the hardening of opinion in the West since 9/11.
