- ZackM, on 07/14/2009, -0/+52Giving a woman 40 lashes sounds more "indecent" than a woman wearing trousers.
- mdhenshaw, on 07/13/2009, -21/+68More from the "religion of peace" files.
- inactive, on 07/13/2009, -9/+42Religion strikes again! (no need to be specific mdhenshaw, religion is the enemy, not muslims)
- dtele, on 07/13/2009, -3/+33I've asked Digg to fix the headline - it should read: 'Female journalist faces 40 lashes for wearing trousers'
- gozroth, on 07/14/2009, -0/+27Because if you start letting women wear a piece of cloth that's fashioned differently, who KNOWS what will happen next!?
- inactive, on 07/13/2009, -14/+39Those damn women, trying to be all independent and *****. Don't they know they should just shut up and have babies and make my hummus! I'll smack 'em!
- jakeshdaddy, on 07/14/2009, -8/+32Even though I'm an atheist, and think Islam is BS like all other religions, I can still confirm as a former Muslim that women wearing pants is not against Islam. Having said that, misogyny and sexism are a major part of Islam as they are with Christianity and Judaism.
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -5/+20I despise Islam.
But even I, a religion hating militant atheist (read: guy who drinks tea, and posts on the internet cause no harm or foul to anyone) can Understand this is primarily a cultural thing which is then woven through religion to create a new man-made fiber that is both breathable and intensely cruel, evil and humiliating. - INTERNETMASTER, on 07/14/2009, -4/+18thanks, religion
- tkcom, on 07/14/2009, -2/+16Humanity: *facepalms*
- gozroth, on 07/14/2009, -1/+15"what's the female du jour?"
"it's the female of the day."
"mmm.... that sounds good! I'll have that." - akchrs, on 07/14/2009, -2/+15To late now it front paged. From this day forward you shall be known as d"jour"tele.
- yuppieduppie, on 07/14/2009, -12/+25Screw Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
- Danial, on 07/14/2009, -4/+16It doesn't matter if Sudan was Christian or Muslim, it would still be a backwater *****.
- phishneslo, on 07/14/2009, -2/+14i am going to have to see a picture of the pants before i weigh in on this one...
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -3/+15Of course it does....
Did you know that after giving birth women had to be "churched" (blessed free from sin by a bishop) before being let back into a church.
Because sex is dirty and it is the woman's fault.
Let us not forget the birth is the product of original sin.
You dirty ovary carrying, foetus gestating whores. - alexmensen, on 07/14/2009, -2/+14I don't here about Jews or Christians beating women because it was "law" though...
- sagar110, on 07/14/2009, -2/+14the odds of a female becoming Pope 0%.
- leva, on 07/14/2009, -0/+11Religion: *head meets keyboard*
I just don't get how any human can follow through and administer the lashings to a fellow human. Especially for wearing pants. Pieces of cloth on pieces of skin, WHO THE ***** CARES!!!!!! - catvllvs, on 07/14/2009, -1/+11Would you like it whipped or beaten sir?
- lead2thehead, on 07/14/2009, -9/+19Religion of peace strikes again.
- Jimbob200, on 07/14/2009, -12/+21Christianity subordinates the woman to the man too, dontcha know. ;)
- jakeshdaddy, on 07/14/2009, -2/+11Oh *****! There's a woman with a book! Lets beat the crap out of her as well!
- CoD4, on 07/14/2009, -6/+15These islamic nations have zero tolerance on women wearing anything other than what they want. It's for everyone in these regions to declare zero tolerance on these retarded laws.
The saddest thing is, a lot of muslim women thing sharia laws protect them. If they only knew... - elmundio87, on 07/14/2009, -5/+14Consider that christians don't torture women for wearing trousers.
- Jimbob200, on 07/14/2009, -2/+10Consider that the Bible was written at a time when men dominated women.
- wondertwins, on 07/14/2009, -3/+11Yes, the peaceful religion that makes people think blowing themselves up is the way.
- erhanaltay, on 07/14/2009, -0/+8Don't be so quick to dismiss his claims Zarchon. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Many of these African countries are dictatorships with no checks on power. Imagine what a religiously fueled party in the USA could do with no constitutional checks & balances?
Even as an Atheist, I would never want to place my self in a position of absolute power because if that position was somehow thrust upon me, I couldn't exactly ensure the safety of groups I dislike. There would be too much of an attraction with little risk of consequence.
Thank God (lol) for limited government & separation of powers! - DirtyVicar, on 07/14/2009, -0/+7Stay classy, Sudan.
- Doc123, on 07/14/2009, -2/+9The media should focus on the genocide and slavery in Sudan..
- ayeroxor, on 07/14/2009, -1/+8Psst! This isn't your daddy's phone, honey. You don't have to text-talk here.
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -13/+20Thank goodness we have a SECULAR constitution that protects us from the psychotics we have here. Deny it all you want but, Christian philosophy is more like radical Islamic fundamentalism than you realize. They are two sides of the same coin:
They both share the same attitude regarding women. They believe women should be subservient to men. Accomplished women are threatening to them. They work to prevent equality between the sexes. Women shouldn't be allowed to wield power, whether it's driving a car or piloting an F-18.
Both are hard-liners on crime and punishment. Arabs cut off hands and behead people. It's not that extreme with conservatives, but they also believe in harsh punishment in the name of justice and to send a warning to future wrong-doers. Conservatives believe in the death penalty and long prison sentences.
Both are isolationists. They are suspicious of people of different nationalities, ethnicities, and religion. They exhibit xenophobia. They use religion as a means of distinguishing self from non-self, friend from enemy. Foreigners are always suspect.
They are traditionalists. They cherish what already exists and are wary of new ideas. There may be inefficiencies and injustices with the current system, but they don't want to rock the boat. New ideas are blasphemy. Progressives are looked down upon.
They want religion to be the heart of government. They don't want a separation of church and state. Laws should be based on religious teachings. Religious leaders should be in charge of the country.
Look in the mirror Christians. Today's radical Islamic fundamentalist is really yesterday's Christian. - ayeroxor, on 07/14/2009, -0/+6I've asked dtele to fix the proofreading.
- publiczenemi, on 07/14/2009, -1/+7We don't see a lot of the headlines that we should. But if we have to cut a few to make room, how about less Michael Jackson first?
- jakeshdaddy, on 07/14/2009, -2/+8This has got to be the funniest assertion I've heard all day! Maybe I'll let one of the female popes address this question... Oh wait, there have NEVER been any. One would assume that if Catholicism or the rest of the innumerable Christian sects out there were indeed against sexism and misogyny, statistically half the individuals in religious leadership roles would be women.
- sinurgy, on 07/14/2009, -1/+7lol...seriously?! Jesuscamp is messed up but c'mon, you can't honestly put that type of fanatic in the same class as beating women for wearing trousers. Islam fanatics like to take crazy to a whole other level!
- gdo01, on 07/14/2009, -1/+7First Epistle to Timothy. It may not have been actually written by Paul or agree with his teachings but it still is part of the Bible. Read literally many parts of it are blatantly misogynistic.
- KingGorilla, on 07/14/2009, -2/+8Maybe it's maybeline
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -0/+5my dad doesn't.
- JFitzpatrick, on 07/14/2009, -0/+5Dancing, knitting, and bestiality. Order negotiable.
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -0/+5the funny thing is that when you take a person out of their group, they're a thinking feeling individual just like yourself. they make decisions, care about people, and live their lives just like you do. the group overrides it and turns them into hate-filled monsters. you can see why my problem lies with the group, and not with the individuals, right?
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -1/+6Everyone must wear bedsheets, curtains and shawls or else!
- rft3rd, on 07/14/2009, -0/+5"It's" different from "its" creation.
*fixed* - oriondr, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4The next thing you know, they'll be showing their ankles.
- jakeshdaddy, on 07/14/2009, -5/+9Spot on.
- guruboyguru, on 07/14/2009, -7/+11Outrageous.
She deserves at LEAST 80 lashes. - JFitzpatrick, on 07/14/2009, -2/+6I'm not with you on the "are a major part of Islam as they are with Christianity and Judaism"
As much as I like to jab all religions, there aren't squads of Christian and Judaic police roaming the land looking for women to beat for wearing the wrong kind of clothes. - erhanaltay, on 07/14/2009, -2/+6If forced servitude isn't misogyny, I don't know what is. In the Bible, women are told to follow their husband as their husband's follow god.
Thankfully Christians (in most parts of the world) have moved past their ancient texts on issues of gender, I'm still waiting for the same thing to happen in Islam. - sinurgy, on 07/14/2009, -5/+9I suppose but Islam sure seems to be leading the pack in retardation these days!
