another sharia victim! how about the unmarried woman in africa. allegedly, she had relations with a married man.She got pregnant. The woman was condemned by Sharia for adultery and was to be stoned (post partum)to death by law. The man received no sentence. a 17 yo girl in Kurdish Iraq was stoned to death by relatives and neighbors in the public square! It was capture on cell phones! Her crime: walking with a man from another religious group.The examples go on. Human rights are not universal and not to be taken for granted. There are no guarantees for any of us. The unprotected are subject to,and victims (in the case of the 17yo)of cruel and murderous traditions hidden beneath the guise of honor and religious perogative. Sanctioned premeditated murder condoned by culture, religion, or tradition is heinous. Women are not represented in the Sharia. Sharia abrogates some of their basic human rights. We cannot hope to educate the funamentalist. Will education mitigate and erase these abominations? Right now the only answer is: attempt to escape!!!

so, if she had merely been raped in her own house it would have been ok and she would not have been punished if the ambulance driver were a relative, right?

Jimmy Carter''s friends.

He sold them F-15s while betraying the Shah on guess what?

Human Rights Violations.

Carter - always a hypocrite, a coward, a bigot, a liar, a racist and an anti-Semite.

And also a Dem.

This is the regime he loves - just like he loves Hamas and the Ayatollahs.

Any questions?

Is this the same country Laura''s Bush visited and had sooo many good things to say about?

Thousands of years of cultural evolution and this is only as far as they''ve got. Seriously flawed system and religion.
