The Glade 4.0

This is NSFW. This is an example of "The Religion of Peace", as Oprah calls it.

That is not a brutal lashing as the video suggests.

I'd take that over 2 years of jail.

I did not listen to the sound, so I don't know what the crime was.

It's not in English. There's no point in turning on sound. I agree that it wasn't very brutal... getting shot playing paintball would be just as bad.

and that makes it okay.



I've been hit by plenty of paintballs, and lashings would hurt a hell of a lot more.

This video is **** disgusting.

I agree it was disgusting. However, she had thick robes on and I doubt it hurt that much.

The screams of pain must have been all for show.

She'd also be screaming if they shot paintballs at her.

I know you troll a lot, but at least be consistent. Don't start a thread specifically to denounce Islam, and then say it's not that bad.

Not at all, this is just my personal preference. Again, I don't know the crime. Whether it's "ok" or not (to me) depends on the crime.



I didn't say it wasn't brutal. I said it wasn't a brutal lashing. Lashings are bad, and there's no way they are as easy as being shot by paintballs. But a BRUTAL LASHING, to me, is a guy swinging much harder than that.

How about the (not-too-unlikely) scenario that this woman is accused of doing something that would be perfectly acceptable for a male?

Then no punishment would be ok. Not even a fine.

I didn't see anyone who was clearly a male relative accompanying her so that might have been it.

Meh, their country, their rules.

I'm sure they see some of our punishments as either too strong or too leinent.

So, no inherent rights, then?

No charges, no trial, just street 'justice' for a religious 'crime' by the Sharia cops.

Disgusting. Yes, it is that bad, and those lashes will hurt, a lot.

I've mentioned this before, but you guys do realize that you live in a country where it is perfectly legal to shoot someone for stealing or damaging as little as $50 of property in several states, even if the property isn't your own or is even public property and absolutely no credible threat to life or health exists, right? But go ahead and keep saying that it's barbaric to kill for adultery or lash for not being accompanied by a male relation.

Not even 1% of people try to break into houses or steal property. 50% of people in these Muslim countries are women.

I'm not sure what your point is, as being a woman isn't a crime there, adultery and unaccompaniment are. While you could argue the merits of what is allowed here vs. what is allowed there, it is pretty insulting to dismiss their entire culture as barbaric for such killings when we also are allowed to kill people over very trivial things.

My point is that 50% of people there face the potential of violence daily, while here it is just 1% of people.

edit: I am just using our two examples. I am not including things such as domestic abuse, although this also has much higher rates in Sudan

No they don't. Not every woman in Muslim countries engages in adultery or walks around without being accompanied by a male relative.

And not every thief is stupid enough to get shot.

Yep and she was born with em too. Looks like the downward slope gets pretty steep after that for em there. You can have all the inherent rights in the world and if you can't defend them, well there ya go.

Meh. Eventually we'll sort it all out. Their culture and laws are on a timer. We (civilized nations) just don't have the bandwidth right now.

What rights was she violating Xeq?
