Is this only in Egypt or is this going to be mandatory in all Sunni nations?
This really pisses me off. For awhile at least Catholic and Muslim nations could agree on ONE thing and worked to put a stop to a greater killer than terrorism (abortion), but now it seems as if even that might go down the tubes.
Regardless of the traditional reach and sway that this particular Council holds, I'm guessing that it will ultimately become the de-facto law throughout all of Islam, regardless of the sub-cult or national boundary because it's entirely in keeping with the preexisting 'ethic' of "no-fault rape" that is embraced throughout Islam.
Since it has been established that men are not responsible for rape, they are therefore innocent. Why then, should an innocent man be subjected to the lies of a harlot, which takes it's form as a child?
Having a living, breathing child walking around, and the cloud of discomfort and insult to honor that this living child causes to hang over the 'innocent' man is obviously completely unacceptable and must not be allowed to happen.
Having an innocent man thusly insulted and having his honor questioned is an impediment to "social stability".
An abortion removes the "lie" of the "harlot" and maintains the "honor" of the "man".
How about this as an idea....recently there were news stories about an "underground railroad" of sorts starting up in Iran, which is helping Christian Iranians escape the insane and dangerous situation there. How about starting a similar "underground railroad" to help women escape this sort of thing as well?
