Im thankful every day that passes that I wasn't born anywhere on that entire continent.

Fcuked - nuke it, its the kindest option for all of us.

NordieSteve · 15-05-2014 04:12PM

Yet feminists are worried about being called "miss".

Shock news as backwards people are backwards

"It's not only Sudan. In Saudi Arabia, in all the Muslim countries, it is not allowed at all for a Muslim to change his religion," Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman said earlier.

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?

jellyboy · 15-05-2014 04:32PM

Love Conquers all….

But not in any religion that preaches love

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.

I often forget that people can only care about one thing at a time.

Silly me.

A cartoon gets drawn, Islamic world up in arms and worldwide protests.

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

No no, care about as many things as you like, but the poster is asking why some people care about something non important.

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.

Im off to the miss/sir thread to sort things out. Chat soon!

No, I think it has absolutely nothing to do with the woman in Sudan.

All out economic warfare would keep them in line if everyone else played ball. But we love their delicious oil so much.

Shouldn't it be men protesting because it was men who kidnapped women?

Wazdakka · 15-05-2014 05:38PM

More religious based nonsense that leads to people suffering...

*Sigh*

When will all those religious lunatics that believe in "Only one god" learn?

They're giving the rest of the more harmless religious lunatics a bad name..

blaze1 · 15-05-2014 05:44PM

Lets be honest, if it wasn't religion, people would still find a way not to co-exsist. Twats the lot of us.

There ye go. Now go have your ribena and kinder egg and play with your friends.

If you can even call it protesting, mostly just Facebook/twitter slacktivism. Those poor girls are as good as gone.
