Fuck them, the barbaric shits.
And fuck their Sharia bullshit, we rational sensible compassionate people won't tolerate it - don't do that shit, it's not your 'right' to treat people this way, despite what you believe.

Sorry, very little sympathy here.
Anyone who bounces stupidly from religion to religion, looking for comfort and the right to absolve themselves of personal morality, ceding wit to skyghosts, has nothing beyond my contempt.

- also how many fucking husbands has she had?7point34

look, her case is fucked up,
but you don't need to go that far to not get that kinda rational sensible compassionate treatment

well, she supposedly loved the fucking religion and even moved their, so i'm sorry her ex husband is a worthless piece of shit, but honestly did she skip that section of the manual?
also, she lost faith in one religion and then converted to another? sorry to break this to you folks, but if there is a man upstairs it's the same fucking guy no matter what name you call him.

and enough fuckn hyprocrisy with saudi arabia,
what are you gonna do do a oil boycott, ahaha please,
SA had proven numerous times that you don't fuck with their religious dogmas and human rights treatment,
and the so called democratic countries never moved a finger.
don't think that will change anytime soon, Israel and Saudi Arabia are too important to be fucked with

yes you should probably think through your decisions a bit more before moving to such a country where as a women you are giving up most of your rights, i don't feel as bad for her as a do for her kids she just completely screwed, and for the women who were born into that religion and have never had a choice.
marriage, divorce, religion, citizenship all are very serious decisions that many seem to think they can do without thinking much into it.

All I'm saying, George is that they way they have all colluded and decided to act upon the middle-aged rants of some nomadic 'sinister virgins' to be mean to this woman is wrong. I don't care if they all call themselves a state or a religion or just plain cunts, there IS a moral absolute of how to treat people, some religions wisely choose to repeat some of it (and claim it as their own, usually), and this is not it.
Detritus, I'm with you on the sky-ghost thing, and 7point34 I am also very cynical of anyone that 'changes' religion.
I mean, how exactly does that work...one day do you just 'decide'..."You know what, I didn't believe it at first, but I guess that guy WAS right, he WAS the one true prophet, not that other one.And I never really liked pork or women that much...."
It just exposes all religious beliefs as something one SAYS one believes, entirely different to TRUE beliefs, such as I live in this house, that ball is red, its cold today, the sun is yellow and made of hydrogen, etc". You cannot choose what to believe. Anyone who does is full of shit.
However deluded about sky ghosts and whatever reasons she gave for joining this cult, those people do not have the right to treat her worse than shit.

"It's a weird prison," she concedes. "A big house with a pool and a nice new car, all behind massive concrete walls that no one can see inside of. That's the prison. So I live here with my maid and my kids and my driver."
-Wait... wat?
- ya.haha does not sound like a prison to me. maybe she needs to go to thai prison to find the definition of prison... silly blondnicole_marie

I just finished reading the article... she converted at 21, married a guy because she wanted to have a "good muslim husband", 6 years later moved to Saudi Arabia from Australia. Then he started beating her.
So how is this not entirely her fault?

going to a 'country where you know they have no human rights' doesnt make this right, fuck me, guys...
'Having no human rights' just means....and I want to try to make this clear....that those people just choose to be cunts, wrongly.
It is still wrong, whether you're in Riyadh or on the fucking moon.
I suppose you think the students in Tienanmen square should have expected to be run over by tanks because they should know that there are 'no human rights in China'.
You're cowards, afraid of not appearing suitably morally relative or liberal enough to call this bs for what it is. The woman is a victim of Sharia law as it is properly applied, however she wound up under its gun.- the fact that it's bullshit has nothing to do with the argument7point34

Great, politics AND religion packed in just one thread. On friday!

This is probably not related to this article but opened my eyes on women's hardship in the Muslim world, read this book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_T…
It's one of those books that you will read with watery eyes and will not put away until you finish.

it all seems pretty fair to me, except for the original dude clocking his chick with a candlestick.
dude bangs my wife, i'm gonna have the fucker flogged, too.
and that bitch is in a luxury resort with a maid and driver and pools 'n' shit. what? she can't go to australia? o noes!

Miko:
the topic is POOR WOMAN...
I strongly disagree with that feeling, that's all. I didn't say anything about right or wrong... there's just no pity to be had for her self-imposed problems as far as I'm concerned. She lived in Australia, which would've enabled her to make things right had the bastard started beating her then... she chose to take that risk and now she's paying for it.
