http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071121/ap_on_re_mi_ea/saudi_rape

This woman was a rape victim and was sentenced to several years in prison and 200 LASHES !!! Why would any woman
want to join a religion like this!!!
I ask why ???

Is this the justice of Sharia law ??
How can muslims say that Islam is a "just" culture?

I SAY IT IS NOT!!!

Women who are thinking of converting... should you THINK AGAIN ??

I do not subscribe to any religion. Don't think that this is an attack on islam from an Xian. I agree with those that said "why would you convert to any religion".

Religion was good for humans about 500 years ago (and earlier), I do not believe that religion is good for humans anymore.


And don't tell me that this is a fringe sect of Islam, this is the kingdom on Saudi Arabia, you can't get more mainstream muslim than that.

Answer 1

Because she has no problem with six months in jail and 200 lashes for the "crime" of being alone with an unrelated male?

Christianity has always sent a very different message to women. John 8 illustrates with adultery, a serious, life-destroying sin, unlike sitting in a car with a nonrelative male:

The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

Answer 2

The woman violated the Saudi law by being with a non-related man in a car. In any country when U disobey the law U get punished accordingly. Any body disagrees? Saudia has this law and other Moslem countries they do not. This shows that Islam is flexible in interpreting the laws in Koran with time. Prophet Muhammad prayed that God send who will rejuvenate Islam through the ages. Islam forbids man and woman alone in a setting that will lead to sex act. Saudia is very, very strict in this aspect, the same as the Southern Baptists and Talmudic Jews who follow 780 strict rules. Each to his own but U do not condemn one religion and exclude the other.

Answer 3

Someone else posted this not too long ago. You're talking about extremists, which are in every religion, and also something called Sharia Law. Saudi Arabia is totally different from modern Islamic nations. True Islam would never do that.

Answer 4

i can't imagine any Woman wanting to convert to Islam. It may be true that not all Muslems follow Sharia law, but why risk the possibilty that someone else may impose it on You.
To the other A/answerers, every religion has had zealots, but not a Sharia type law.

Answer 5

I became muslim 10 years ago. And this was the best decision I have ever made. Islam is a wonderful religion if u actually follow it.

Answer 6

It's all relative.

Why would any woman want to be a Christian, or convert to Christianity?

Have you ever stopped to notice just how suppressed women are in that religion??? The MAN is the sole head of the household. The MAN is supposed to "bring home the bacon" while the woman slaves away at home, cooking and cleaning and taking care of bratty, rebelious children all day long. The woman is supposed to OBEY the man and cater to his whims.

Have you ever stopped to notice just how GENDER-BIASED the Bible is??? God is a male deity. Man was created first. Jesus was/is the "son of God". Noah built the ark. Moses led the slaves out of Egypt. Samson brought the temple down on the Phillistines. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and the other 9 men were disciples of Jesus. Job endured grief and torture of the worst kind from Satan to stay faithful to God.

BUT... EVE ate the "forbidden fruit", then talked Adam into eating it. Lot's WIFE disobeyed God and was turned into a "pillar of salt". DELILAH betrayed Samson. SALOME demanded the head of John the Baptist. JEZEBEL was an all-around bad girl. MARY MAGDALENE was a prostitute, etc.

Women who are Christians or thinking of converting to Christianity...shouldn't YOU think again???


EDIT: See, LD? My answer is not directed at you; I'm generalizing. Careful with those assumptions...

Answer 8

I say your confused, and its not entirely your fault, but mostly your fault. It seems you havent actually researched islam. Why would anyone want to covert to christianity? They bomb innocent people (hiroshima,iraq) rape women, worship idols, beat their women, they dont follow the true ways of christianity, they judge other religion they dont know about, sentence people to death penalties. Of course this isnt entirely true, which goes to say that you cannot judge a religion by the acts of people. This savage behavior by the people you hear about in these muslim countries are not the true ways of islam. dont take anyones word for it, research it for yourself.

Answer 9

Only if they are have mental problems. Get rape and put to jail. The most ridiculous law in the whole universe.

Answer 10

She didn't join. She was born into it.

Muslims talk about how loving Islam is, and then ignore this example of it.
