Just kidding Andy, I know it's a crime in Saudia Arabia. But, he's Islamic and the raped girl is not. That means he won't get the same sentence if the girl were islamic too. And for your statement, "We can't have a war against Islam", for your interest...we already are.

Look, I have utter contempt for the House of Saud. They've been trying to out-fundie the fundies for years, with spectacularly awful results. But a war against Islam is unwinable. You can't defeat a religion, and I'm not sure we'd want to if we could. We can, however, defeat those who would exploit that religion for antagonistic and inhuman purposes.

Andy, there's a Freeper who has this great line about Islam:

Radical Islam is an insane death cult, moderate Islam is a Trojan horse

I hope I didn't butcher the quote.

> You can't defeat a religion

When was the last time the Jews organized an armed rebellion against the Romans? It most certainly is possible. Unfortunately, it takes the sort of decisive military action - total war - that the United States is no longer willing to engage in.

I used to call Muslims as a class Klingons. Out of respect for the Klingon people, I've stopped doing so.

You are right AND you are wrong. If a Shiri'ia condemns the person (the kid) then it is not a sin. If the Man proposes to the "kid" it isn't a crime. I have lived in Saudi for 2 years. How long have you been there?
