		<description>As much as it is wrong, you look on the news today and you see. Taliban mutilates police officer. 100 years from now the Taliban will still be there, the Shites and Sunnis and Hamas, Al Asqa, Al Qaida, Hezbollah, they will still be here, Still doing prayer 5 times a day,  

We have injustice like that here in our land. in our Prison system. It is the same thing but reversed. The prison rape!!! Punished than victimized.

Chocalate Jesus: Which one of the libs running for president is going to go give our pals like Mushareff or King Abdullah or the guy from Egypt a &quot;Dirty Sanchez&quot;?

111. Our country needs to lighten up on the political correctness and stay true to its roots. When they want to break out the Koran to prove a reason they need five wifes, beatings, rape and Islamic Law over here in our land and say &quot; We need our religious freedom&quot;. You need to draw a line and say this is not how we do it over here.

NRA Gun nutes: How do you feel about the Clinton Gun Ban, Rebecca Peters at the U.N. I thought Bush did a wonderful job preserving the 2nd Amendment. He get a A+++ rating from me. He is still the President. I&#039;d even take a bullet to protect him, that stuff your saying is kinda on the threatning side. Change your handle your going to make the NRA look bad.</description>

		<description>This story is why; you don&#039;t tolerate things just because somebody&#039;s imaginary friend made the rules.

Seriously, some things are just wrong and this is that, wrong. Stuff the culture, stuff the &quot;We must understand&quot; and stuff the whole respect for other people.

This is what it means to let calls for tolerance to silence debate, what it means when we as a society allow religion to hold some holy place in our cultural debate.

Should the west declare war over this? Not directly. We need to dump oil as a required resource, we need to stop funding these pigs and start marginalising them. What this verdict shows is that they are evil, and if calling them evil offends them GOOD. 

If offensive pictures of Mohammed gets them rioting and killing each other, then get your pencils out because I have lost any and all sympathy with the Middle East over this.</description>

		<description>I think of how much I love my wife and how I&#039;d feel if my wife was the women in that story. The woman was a victim, then punished for being a victim. To look and try to find for hope for them, I see how our military intervention in Afghanistan had created a better life for women oppressed by the Taliban. 
I&#039;ve read that women in Afghanistan are treated better now under the Nato government than when the Taliban had full control.

Some of the people on this site make it sound as if there is are some democrats out there ready to lay some 500 pound &quot;daisy cutters&quot; on the Saudi&#039;s. 911 hijackers, $100 a barrel oil. During the debates I did&#039;nt hear anything close. I&#039;d like to hear more about the candidates that have this view.  I have heard some of the dems talk of going into Pakistan after Bin Laden. He still needs to be dealt with. It is ashame some of the countries receiving millions in foreign aid haven&#039;t put more effort into helping us find him.

 With WorldWar1 the alliances between countries had brought millions of deaths to countries that nothing to do with The Archduke getting Assassinated in Yugoslavia. Wars are also very costly. And starting a war you risk alliances forming of equal or greater power But to stop genocide or threats to the American People it could be necessary.  Iran, China, and Russia are large powers that could decimate the U.S. and they are allies. The U.S can&#039;t tell every country in the world how to run their countries. The holy wars go back Centuries.  And the Muslims still do things their way and the Christian Countries and Israel still have their, traditions, values, and holidays. 

George Bush or Bill Clinton are not running for reelection. The American people gotta decide who is going to command the one of the most powerful militaries on the planet.  
   I just don&#039;t feel good about Hillary taking the job, some of the other candidates had some bright spots here and there. What if Bill and Hillary got a divorce. The French President just went thru that. It could happen.?</description>

		<description>anyone in their right mind who thinks on any level that a woman who has been raped should be punished is sick. I don&#039;t care what your political beliefs or personal beliefs are, it is sick and it is wrong. Anyone who condones it has serious issues. Whether they live in Texas or CT or anywhere.

Zooey,
The REAL question is what is the &quot;executioner&quot; doing with his OTHER hand whilst delivering said lashes? Now THAT is the question.</description>

		<description>Being Bush&#039;s bossom buddies, perhaps the Saudi&#039;s will even let Bush deliver the 200 lashes.  I&#039;m sure he would love that.  If not that, perhaps someone will video tape it for him.  He still has all those video tapes from Abu Ghraib.  Bush is into S&amp;M.</description>

		<description>Smgumby,

I just read an article on Iran executing gays, I think the Muslims are much stricter than the Christians. This country was found on religious freedom, by Christians, anyone, can come here and worship whatever they want, whether it is Satan, money, Buddah, somebody&#039;s rear end, that&#039;s why this country is where all the immigrants want to come to. You don&#039;t see people racing to get into Iran.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s just par for the course for the Saudis.  Consider this excerpt from a report by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom:
 
&quot;In one case, the Commission was told of a foreign domestic worker who had become pregnant after being raped by her employer. She was subsequently imprisoned because it is illegal for female foreign workers to become  pregnant in Saudi Arabia if they are not married.&quot;
 
http://www.uscirf.gov/countries/region/middleast/saudi/saudiReport.pdf
 
And if the ruling of that judge amazes you, guess who he looks to for controlling legal precedent:

Saudi society is saturated with this crap.  It&#039;s truly endemic:
