Tell that to Barack Uni-Bomber who wants Ghaddafi gone only to be replaced with Islamic fundamentalists that favor this.

im going to be a contrarian here and say that its not in my place to say this is wrong.

im not going to argue with a religion im not familiar with. im sure many in the middle east think our way of life is wrong, and they should be quiet about that to.

im not into a superiority complex, thinking i am better then somebody else. thats what these idiots do when they start going the religion route.

would i condone this? no.

but im not a male in bangladesh. im a male in the us.

i assume if i was a male in bangladesh and was muslim i would be ok with the punishment since its the law.

you have to put yourself in there shoes and there mindset, which is not possible.

And the same goes for you.

This is a pretty extraordinary claim you make here.

Got anything to back it up?

I'm not a fan of the far left or the far right, but for the sake of sane, logical discourse, I think statements like this should either be backed up, or withdrawn.

I'd like an example from you as well.

Where is this support for Sharia culture among American liberals?

That is the dumbest thing you have said to date. Since you can't see "right" from wrong I'll state the obvious.

NO ONE left or right will support this behavior or treatment. f religious freedoms, they don't come at the expense of anothers life. I from the left will gladly lead the charge to remove rights from ANY group that uses inane beliefs to deny another of the right to live.

perhaps you need to travel outside the walls of MO and broaden your knowledge and exposure there is far more life than Ozark Hillbillies.

I 'd just like to point out that some "conservatives" may point out how we all must be compelled by the suffering of those at the hand of Islam but will turn around and say when it comes to their neighbor in their country and health service " it isn't my problem you can't afford the meds, why should I be punished by taxes to help you? I don't owe you anything and it isn't my problem about your suffering, life is tough so deal with it".

Also in reporting these happenings is it to say "see see?, we must continue the war on terror and continue sending our military over there because look how evil those muslims are"?

I don't give a damn who these people are or about their religion, for gosh sakes, this is about sadistic, violent, inhumane behavior, and they are the ones, that should be put to death, give me a freaking break here. These people so barbaric in their actions, they have no passion for human life what so ever, in the name of their religion, they can shove it.

Them fanatic ones. I'm against any kind of extremist thinkings or actions. And, Religion holds the most of it. I feel sorry for that girl, I just wish somebody could take her away from that country.

No. Sadly my support for the 'war on terrorism' has dropped off greatly since I've seen that we are only half committed to it and we aren't doing anything to change the underlying CAUSE of terrorism. We are only changing the faces. Without attacking the ideology nothing will change.
That is why I often emphesize the basis in Islam for which the terrorists commit their acts and what their beliefs are. In this tragic case they did cane the girl to death because they hated her. They didn't do it because they were poor or denied democratic rights. They did it because Mohammad instructed it. Even if these clerics are arrested and prossecuted (fat chance) they will just be replaced with likeminded clerics because they are following the same ideology. Until we change the ideology we won't make any progress and the first step in changing an ideology is to make everyone aware of exactly what it stands for. As long as people keep making excuses and point to the people instead of the underlying ideology then nothing will change.
