Adorno 说:Indeed someone should do something!
But it's sad that the horror-regime of Saudi Arabia only gets attention
when things like this is leaked to the outside world - (and the woman
was the one telling the outside world about it. Great respect!)
Saudi Arabia decapitates people on the streets and let men hold their
wives captive in their own homes. They simply can't leave the house
unless accompanied by a man from the family!!!
Her only crime was to betray her husband and telling the western press
about her punishment - and then it was doubled
ALL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD SHOULD CONSTANTLY PUT PRESSURE
ON SAUDI ARABIA TO BRING DOWN THE RELIGIOUS HORROR REGIME!!!

Well, a lot of Muslims do think that's what Islam is about. What the dictionary or encyclopedia says is irrelevant, what people who call themselves Muslims think and do makes Islam what it is. A religion also isn't fixed, it can also evolve, get more hardline or get more 'liberal' with time.It's not led by imams, but by a king. The name "Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" (or more correctly, "Saudi Arab Kingdom") is sort of a dead giveaway to that. Also, the punishment being applied for rape in this case is hardly in line with the Qur'an...but they're Wahhabists, what do you expect from graveyard vandalising scum?
dagorkan 说:Wrong, Saudi Arabia is clearly a theocratic state. It enforces Shariah Law and most of the court judges, bureaucrats and politicians are religious.
Iran is more democratic than Saudi Arabia.
You are af course right that Saudi Arabia is a 'kingdom'.Cirdan 说:It's not led by imams, but by a king.

Tell that to the Chinese. They've been doing it for almost twenty years, you know?Just like you can't call yourself a National Socialist and insist you're just a mainstream democrat, or a Communist and be for free markets
If people don't want to be associated with those actions they should stop calling themselves Muslims or praising 'real' Shariah, misunderstood 'peaceful Jihad' and all the rest of that bull****. If it was really an issue 'moderate Muslims' would start their own breakaway faction, like the Protestants or Orthodox did with Catholicism, and break all ties with the hardliners. You can't retain your credibility just by 'condemning' your co-religionists - if there are a serious issues like they make out there are they can't be in the same religion at all.
Explain the functional difference between having a council select a suitable candidate from the elite, or simply pricing the entry fee so high that only the elite can afford to stand.Adorno 说:Don't get me wrong, I see many problems with American elections such as the
rigorous 2 party system, the enormous amount of money needed to run for president,
that people have to actively register to vote etc.
