How can there be any justification for this utter nonsense!

About a year ago I read in the news about a islamic woman who got raped by I think it was like 10 men or something. And she got sentenced to 700 lashes for being in the same room as 10 unknown men. But that was in Saudiarabia (they have the Quran as lawbook I think). I don´t mean to offend anyone but islamic laws are just wrong.

Is this the story you are thinking of?

Maybe, but we are not entitled to reform other countries (or cultures...) value system or law system.

We are not entitled to interfere with the domestic affairs of other countries. Are we, however, allowed to stand by and see thousands of people being killed by dictators?

I personally do not have an answer to that considering we have stood by and allowed Pol Pot, Amin, Stalin, Mugabe and a few others to kill thousands, in some cases millions.

There is no simple answer, but you can't interfere when you want and ignore others that are worse and fixed easier.

How many people wouldnt have starved to death if the money spend in Iraq had gone to African charities?

Less than you think.

Would you like to talk about the United Nations at all.

What would be your priority, AIDS all over central/eastern/western/southern Africa, or the Sudanese genocide?

Hmmm?

Well, I do not want to pull this off topic too much; there are 6 Billion people on this Earth and there are going to be 9 billion by the '50s, I believe. Therefore, I don't think it really matters that much to other countries that people are dying. It only comes down to monetary and political reasons for getting involved--so don't kid yourself.

Edit: And scientists say that the Earth can only support about 1 to 2 Billion properly.

plz delete this post

Surely an explanation of why the post is wrong would be a more intelligent response. As far as I am aware this case did occur although the details (number of men, lashes etc., are exaggerated in that particular post). Nevertheless a raped woman is going to be lashed for breaking some law about being out without a male family member.

Deleting the truth is never a good option.
