In this case, it is not about whether or not we believe in their religion, or their politcs. It comes down to basic human rights. In this case, they are being denied, and that is what is wrong.
At the risk of actually sounding politically incorrect, Islamic Republics, even "moderate" ones, tend to ingnore the rights and needs of women in their society, and the more extreme they lean, the more atrocious the intolerance towards them.
There are exactly ZERO circimstances in this story that warrant punishment of this person, never mind repeated floggings and a death sentence.
I continue to hear people say how Muslims are peaceful people and Islam is a belief of love and respect, yet after reading several parts of the Koran, and after reading about continued mistreatment of Women and others who are marginalized in those societies, I have severe doubts that anything I hear about Islam can be taken at face value.
I lnow this will not be a poplular post, and I can see the PC police coming down on me very hard for this, but I continue to see Islam subjugating those who are not male and not in power, and this has become an established pattern.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it all seems bad to me. If they were peaceful and respectful, maybe they would not be allowed to SELL their duaghters into prostitution. Did the father of the girl get punished for his role in this. Ha! Did the 55 year-old man who eventually "bought" her face and charges or punishment? Pah-leeese!
It's all wrong, period.
Peace,
Pierre
