Jesse Jackson better go there and educate them.

Yeah... And with these kinds of laws, he won't have to worry about his mistresses blabbing to the media. They would get a stoning! /sarcasm

And now, I wonder what our resident muslim reverand farrakhan thinks about this?....

Grim. There was another woman sentenced to death last year, which caused an international outcry. I must admit that the UN do-gooders were on the case. However, although the woman in question was spared, it was only due to a technicality. This very unjust law remains in place, and I think that there are people there who just wait to have such an execution.

For the father to be convicted, he has to either confess or four other men must testify they witnessed the adultery.

If she's raped by four men, are 16 witnesses required?

All the Democrats have to do in 2004 to win is to show commercials of Bush calling Islam the religion of peace and they will win in a landslide. Of course they won't do this since they also believe Islam is a peaceful religion.

Under the Shari'a laws in Katsina Province, the death penalty can be imposed on men or women who have sex outside marriage.

For anyone who's posted here complaining about your liberal friends (I pity you if that's not an oxymoron for you, but whatever), the liberals where you work, your liberal family members, etc. - Here's your chance.

Ask them whether we should support the woman's being executed, because we should be "Tolerant" of the "Culture" to which she belongs, or whether she should be spared, because women should have the right to choose the nature of their sexual relationships. Force them to choose one way or the other, and then force them to defend their answer, and take the other side of the argument no matter which position they choose.

With any luck, you won't be on speaking terms any more thereafter...

They believe that children outside marriage is bad for their society, and justifiy her death due to that belief.

No, it is not that simple. They believe that a woman is worth less than a man. They believe that adultry is ok for men, but not for women. They believe that women should be punished (killed) for adultry, even when she is raped.

Their sick society cannot be justified.

"Of course they won't do this since they also believe Islam is a peaceful religion."

I think it has more to do with wanting some of that oil money.

Another all-cultures-are-equal ping.
