Answer 1

Oh my god, that is horrible. We should team up and go kidnap them , bring them to America so they can live a normal life.. All kidding aside, can you imagine the kind of example that is setting for the young boys that are witnessing this behavior! It's a sad world we live in.  

Answer 2

THAT is why sharia law should somehow be totally outlawed. Unfortunately I think there is little that can be done. It's shocking, and tragic.

Answer 3

I wasnt aware of this, that is unbelieveable

Answer 4

It's appalling.The key lies in making the men realise that women are human beings with rights not mere possessions.

Bones:you are the western equivalent of the intolerent Taliban with your wipe everyone out mentality.

Answer 5

Well now! Those are the same muslims you don't want the US to go mess with because we should mind our business, are not the world police, and should not invade because they are really just peaceful good old souls. Or did you forget about all that when it comes to some issue like this? You can't have it both ways kids. Either islam is destroyed the world over, or that and worse is what you get.  

Answer 6

Ah, but don't forget - Islam is a religion of peace, and is the fastest growing religion in the world.

I feel sick whenever I read some person's questions on this site glorifying Islam.

I have nothing against the worship of God, provided it harms no one.  But this has nothing to do with God - and he must weep when he sees his innocents being abused.

My feelings are nothing to do with the atrocities committed in America - I have always hated what is done to the women in these countries and support them.  But I don't know how to help them.

Edit:  I've been thinking a lot about this question - if you confront a Muslim woman here in the West - they refuse to accept it and are in denial.

And if you bring it up in conversation you are accused of racism or, recalling one particular conversation, of being a Daily Mail reader.  Apparently that is an insult.

Answer 7

This makes me cry.  How horrible.  Quote from article:

In Afghanistan whether [s*x] is forced or not forced it is a crime because the Islamic rules say that it is," he claimed. "I think it is good. There are many diseases that can be created in today's world, such as HIV, through illegal sexual relations."

Soo....instead of putting rapists in jail, i.e. the ones spreading diseases, they put the women in jail, because the Quran firmly warns against the power and allure of the female body.

I'm so angry I can't see straight.  Read Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.  She's on the Islamic assassination list for exposing Islam as she sees it.

This is what happens when outdated religious dogma is allowed to rule countries, who in turn are ruled by war.  This is the reason for separation of church and state.  

Answer 8

  horrible but they are brought up to believe its normal. Women have always had to fight for their rights against men who make the laws to suit their selves.  Change can only come through education.  

Answer 9

It is very sad, unfortunately I don't think we can help them which is even more sad, for those answerer's who had no idea this was going on, I suggest you read the book;

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

an amazing read that you wont be able to put down. It will give you an in road to what these women have endured for many a long year.

Answer 10

We live in the 21st century. But still, women are treated like this. It appalls me.

Why is it not condemned by governments. It isn`t, because of the politically correct world we live in. We take for granted how much freedom we have as women in the west.

Answer 11

I wish i was surprised but i am not.  

Answer 12

That is lunacy. Anyone who believes that is what God wants is mentally ill.

Answer 13

That's islamic law for you. That's how it goes on.  

Answer 14

This is one of the reasons the troops are out there.People think they are out to just fight terrorism.They are trying to get the country and it's ways, in-line with humanitarian rights as well.

My nephew,who is with the medical Corp,had to teach the young afghan males that having s*x with the mountain goats was wrong!!! they knew no different,saying it was either the goat or nothing. lol.
