Christian Woman, Mother Of 5 Sentenced To Death Fo

I'm pretty sure she was asking for it.
Anybody question the validity of the whole "Christian woman" moniker?
seems like they just labeled that to make my grandma hate muslims more.

awesome stuff.

i get the feeling this story will never be on msnbc

I wasnt saying this about that woman. Clearly she wasnt trying to change that countries laws or religion and she wasnt forcing anyone to do anything. She was just saying what was on her mind.

What you said was, Don't force someone to act in accordance with laws that aren't in existence in a country. The implication being, abide by the laws of the country you're in, hence my conclusion from your statements.

We are not in danger of being judged according to Sharia Law in Britain. The Sharia courts are set up so that "sharia courts [are] given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases" Which cover arbitration matters such as divorce, financial disputes & domestic violence.


Just means they're better manipulators than we are.

I must live a sheltered life since I don't hear about this happening.

Don't quote me spicy, I'm wrong.

Knowing good and well she would get lynched for it.

that is why I mention religious tolerance for everyone, but to a point

Ffs i said I misunderstood it. They said ***like that doesn't happen in the US. I assumed they meant at all. People are criticized and killed for their religion in the US, even though it's not the gov doing it.

No, we just have honor killings too.

I don't like religion.

keep the discussion going. i got to get ready to go to work... will be back later

pakistan has different laws then other places. They've had those laws for thousands of years. Either follow them, or reap percussions. What happens when we break a law here? We go to jail.
sometimes go to a trial, possibly get sentenced to death or life in prison.

While you're absolutely correct in your sarcastic reference, there is a pretty big difference between a bunch of nutjobs killing people, and state-sponsored execution.

Religious blasphemy is as arbitrary a reason to execute someone as Ice Cream flavor preference. Pakistan is creating a strict religious state, and with their tensions with India, the very LAST thing the world needs, is a nuclear-armed country with the ill-conceived notion of unfathomable eternal paradise when dying in service of Muhammad.

I would love to take a shot at England for splitting up India into what essentially amounts to two theistic states (Hinduism-Islam and nobody cares about Bangladesh) and probably instigating World War III but it would have happened on its own anyway. Figuring in Iraq, the Muslim groups were damn near ready to divide the country to Shiite, Sunni and whatever'sville.

i like the bolded quite a bit.

This isn't about Islam, this is about theocracy.

Every country which has ever adopted a "state religion" has made crimes against that religion (such as blasphemy) punishable by death. It's a tool to enforce absolute obedience and control over a particular population.

The religion in question doesn't matter. It just so happens that at this point in history, most Christian countries have moved away from totalitarian theocracy, and a lot of countries in the Middle East have not.

if that *** nut case gets elected in 2 years she'll die before inauguration.

Only read OP

Nice way to enforce religion onto a country, I have some friends that are Muslim and their women are ***afraid to get caught doing anything. It is crazy, and if anything the punishments are harder on the women.

This is stupid, nice way to leave 5 children with out a mother I hope she *** flee's the country or hides in a hole for some time, ***. I don't have anything against their religion, but I sure do against their laws.

lol if i was in one i'd be long deaaaaaaaaaaaaad already.

their laws are part of their religion, so you have something against their religion, just sayin'

First of all, there's no such thing as freedom of speech in the Middle East.. I don't understand certain people though. Why in the hell would someone go and say things about their religion knowing how sensitive some people are about that type of stuff. Know your place, yes you might believe what you're saying, but you're saying it to the wrong crowd.. Now I'm not condoning this behavior, I think is despicable. That's why I will never visit the Middle East. But I don't think is their religion itself, because we have morons in every religion and I know religious people that are awesome.. It's the fanatics that use religion to make a point, in fact most of them justify their actions through religion. Therefore giving a religion a bad name. Live and let live..

you have to blame the basis of the religion and those that take said religions seriously, devout believers believe if they don't smite the infidels they will be punished and if they do they'll be rewarded, it's part of the religion, and christianity is no different in that aspect.
