Sheriff 555:

Don't you think that i or people here are not aware of what you are saying about haters of Islam..So what do you say about the judgement? Are the judge or jury or whatever their system is which give the girl 80 lashes because she was riding the car with a stranger, Islam Lovers??
Are the one who spread the FACT is the guilty one or the one who make the Islam look horrible is guilty?
i know a saying that goes like; if you are embarrassed to do something while someone is watching then it's probably wrong.
Of course you'll find too many people (haters or not) will use this issue to make Islam looks awful and that's what happened because those people are disgrace on humanity..

To La Illaha Illa Allah:
the story wasn't there when i asked the question because i am positive i searched it good..anyway it is;

To SHRIF555:
Al Jazeera Muslim Hater and Islam Hater ?????
ya salam? so who is the Muslim Lovers? Osama Bin Ladin? The Saudi System? Who??

Answer 1

Simply because Al-Jazeera has a VERY VERY VERY good relation with the Saudi government, and would not risk that for such news!!

and as you have read, the Saudi government, unfortunately though VERY VERY sick laws, decided to leash her!!!

That's why, non Islamic people will always have a bad image of Islams wherever we may go, just because we have sick people implementing the Islamic religion their own way!

Answer 2

First of all, Islam is more exciting in the eyes of western men (action men) as the headlines about Islam in the western world. In Islam, this kind of rape has only one punishment, death penalty. If u have time take a look at the constitution of Pakistan about womens rights in the light of Islam.
For e.g if someone undresses a woman and leaves her naked on the street, for him/her is the death penalty. But in reality, there is no respect of women in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other Islamic countries because they are all democracy seekers, not muslims. I'm sure u know the friendship between Saudis and the Govts of the western countries. In Islam, the dignity of a woman is untouchable. Under the feet of a woman is paradise but it is sad to say as a muslim, after the death of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, existed Islamic Govt. for only 65 years. (Khalifah Rashideen). Thereafter, there's no more Islamic Govt. in this world. The Islamic Govts. , what we see today are opportunists, despots and puppets of the west.

Answer 3

thanks for bringing this story up here.
please , we shouldnt mix such a story with islam.
those judges are like barbarians without a simple sense of what islam is.
the western world shouldnt take this story and accuse moslems of anything.
the judges are specifically Wahabi s . they cannot allow a male with a female. the also cannot be fair to a shiite .
it will take such people 100 years to open their eyes to reality.
i know a worse story. an egyptian girl of 11 went down wearing her abaya and veil to but smthg from the stationery. she was kidnapped by a group of men. the police were alerted . they stopped a car going towards the border near Bahrein. inside the car, they found the girl drugged and without documents. she was taken together with her kidnappers. nothing had happened to her. so, it seemed she ws taken to be sold or to provide spare parts from her body.she was placed in prison for accompanying the men ! the men werent blamed bec she ws a foreigner and they were citizens . after a lot of recommendations she ws left free , but her parents were ordered to leave on the spot and not to open their mouths.her father ws an accountant and her mother ws a computer teacher in a school. they were sa3idis .
no comment.

Answer 4

It IS on al jazeera, its on their webpage. take a look

The question WAS THERE BEFORE because I was at the aljazeera website reading it BEFORE I ever logged on YA R&S.

Updated does NOT mean a new post. It means updated and OLD story. The story was even there yesterday.

Answer 5

um according to islamic law those men are to be executed...what happened to them...and why was the girl punished when she was the victim herself. This is sick that saudi judges could give such verdicts. As a muslim i find this very disturbing.

Answer 6

Maybe it was kind from Al-Jazeera not to bring this issue to concern so that the sentence for the young woman would not be increased once more.

Answer 7

wa7da wa7da , take it easy ,

first I like El Jazeera , its my fav. after euronews , so maybe :
- they dont think its an important issue
- they were forced to keep it bcoz of relations.

But I think the second is more accepted by mind.

I hate when u hide a truth just for some Kings or princess or president orders.

Answer 8

This story is very vicious anti Moslem and anti-Islam. The ones who propagate this story are anti-Moslem and anti-Islam. Why Al-Jazeera to play in the hands of the people who hates Islam. Was not enough for Al-jazeera to bring Wafa Sultan to spread her hatred to Islam? This is plant story for Moslem haters.
To the author of the question. U bring lot of hatred to Islam by bringing this question for people who hate Islam. There is so much hatred to Islam all around and U just bring more.
The girl got lashes because she wanted to bring hatred to Islam and she contacted moslem haters like FOX who picked the story very, very, very happily.
To the author Look to your post and how much cussing against Islam it have brought.
Note Al-Jazeera is moslem hater and Islam hater.

Answer 9

OMG ...well i don't really know what to think

let's just pray for peace
