The court in Khartoum also ordered she be given 100 lashes for committing "zena" - an Arabic word for illegitimate sex - for having sexual relations with a non-Muslim man.

Racists, isn't that the word we use now for when someone doesn't like someone else's religion?

Just an observation. Feminists (along with the rest of the civilised world) should be protesting and making this a key issue within their little group.

Instead the permanently premenstrual patrol are looking at the broader issues...such as being called sir.

I am pretty sure Apostasy in those cultures involves publicly announcing your conversion/denouncing Islam. Keep it quiet and you'll be fine. I'm sure there are plenty of people who live there who have left religion/converted long ago.

Girls get kidnapped in the name of Islam and Muslim woman sentenced to death over the 'crime' of apostasy. Not a whimper.

The great thing about people is we're all different. You might think that GAA or soccer or Game of Thrones is important to you, but even though they aren't important to me, I'm not going to tell you they shouldn't be important to you, because we're different people.

Some teachers might prefer not to be called Miss, I don't think I'd care but then again, I'm not going to tell anyone else what they should think is important.

It's a great way to live.

Obviously everyone is different. Thats not what nordieSteve was saying.

But do you think that being addressed as Miss is more important than this woman in the op in Sudan?
Thats what the poster was saying.

Well that's just brilliant. If she kept her mouth shut she wouldn't be facing a stupid needless death penalty and lashing! Dumb bitch! :rolleyes: Death for apotasy is a barbaric act and people shouldn't have to curtail their rights and expressions to remain alive.

I don't disagree with you, but it helps to get the facts on the table before we start throwing ideas around such as nuking entire countries. There are plenty of innocent people going about their business who don't need to be tarred with the "extremist barbarian" brush.

Anyone who supports the death penalty for apostasy is an extremist barbarian.

I don't think anyone has been killed in the name of Buddhism. They won't shun you or judge you. Anyone can be a Buddhist without much fuss.

If I believed in religion I'd be a Buddhist. Except I wouldn't be able to as I,love my meat :pac:

0ver the past year in Buddhist-majority Burma, scores, if not hundreds, have been killed in communal clashes, with Muslims suffering the most casualties. Burmese monks were seen goading on Buddhist mobs, while some suspect the authorities of having stoked the violence — a charge the country’s new quasi-civilian government denies. In Sri Lanka, where a conservative, pro-Buddhist government reigns, Buddhist nationalist groups are operating with apparent impunity, looting Muslim and Christian establishments and calling for restrictions to be placed on the 9% of the country that is Muslim. Meanwhile in Thailand’s deep south, where a Muslim insurgency has claimed some 5,000 lives since 2004, desperate Buddhist clerics are retreating into their temples with Thai soldiers at their side. Their fear is understandable. But the close relationship between temple and state is further dividing this already anxious region.

Surely these Boko Haram guys will see this when they are checking their Twitter feeds and they'll deliver the kidnapped girls back to their families!

Degringola

Turtwig,
we're all human, and we all have our faults and can be prone to violence, but if you look around the world at the various conflicts, there is very frequently, not always of course, a common denominator. And it's not the Buddhists. But joining the dots is frowned on. Everything must be taken on individual basis, we're not allowed to see patterns.

Ah well that's ok then. They only need to keep quiet and not publicly announce anywhere, like the church belonging to another religion where they are getting married or anywhere like that. Sure those sort of laws are perfectly reasonable since they only pertain to 'publicly' announcing that you have disassociated with said religion.

Are you trying to say that people leap to defend Sharia (as separate from Muslims) here?

Because I haven't seen it.

Not all Muslims defend all aspects of Sharia either, there are moderates.

Maybe you haven't seen it here, but there is a sizable islamic lobby just across the water aiming to have Sharia Law enshrined as the abiding code of conduct over there.

Fúck that.

Shakespeare's Sister

I'd say the only people who defend sharia are people who benefit from it or are brainwashed into believing it's good.

When someone said there isn't a peep in relation to the girls in Nigeria, I think they meant there isn't a peep of condemnation from key Islamic figures. I'm sure there is, but I gotta agree it doesn't seem to be very high-profile.

What on earth... A small number of loopers saying female teachers should be called sir = all feminists? And because of that small number of loopers, feminists are automatically not protesting about sharia when obviously plenty of feminists (and others) are?

He was asking whether people think it's more important to call female teachers sir than sharia oppression? I don't think he was, but obviously nobody thinks calling female teachers sir is more important than sharia oppression.

Again, because a few extremist feminists say female teachers should be called sir... that means feminists are not interested in the atrocities of sharia... is that what you and Steve are saying? Because if so... bizarro is not the word.
