What fun they will have in Europe. Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: "Saudi Arabia to flog 75-year-old for breaching sex segregation rules," from the Telegraph, December 15 (thanks to Pamela):
Amnesty International has called on Saudi Arabia to cancel a sentence of 40 lashes handed down against a 75-year-old woman for breaching the kingdom's sex segregation rules."The minister of interior (Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz) is reported to have ordered the immediate detention and flogging of a 75-year-old woman, Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, along with two Saudi Arabian men known only as Fahad and Hadyan," the London-based watchdog said.
"The Saudi Arabian authorities must not carry out the imminent flogging and imprisonment of an elderly woman and two younger men."
Amnesty said all avenues of appeal had now been exhausted in Saudi courts against the trio's March conviction for being in the company of members of the opposite sex who are not close relatives....
Despicable. Flogging can kill a young healthy man. What chance does this poor old lady have?
Prince Aziz has ordered "the immediate detention and flogging" so perhaps any effort of ours to stop this abomination is too late, but if thousands of us bombard the Saudi embassies worldwide with our protests, we may have an effect. It worked in the case of the rape-victim-sentenced-to-be-flogged case, not so long ago.
And this Prince Aziz -- time the world learned more about him.
What kind of perverts are they?
The infantilism of Islam - the idea that a person cannot have a platonic relationship with a person of the opposite gender.
Just another example of the sick Muslim male mindset, which really gives the idea that they're all nothing but wanna-be rapists if not actual rapists.
"Just another example of the sick Muslim male mindset, which really gives the idea that they're all nothing but wanna-be rapists if not actual rapists."
Likely this is the reason that radical feminists are so uncritical of Islam: it supports their fevered imagining that virtually all men are at heart rapists and child molesters.
The one thing about the sharia-nuts that never stops amazing me is their weird twisted kinkiness.
I've been around some really strange people in my life, but when it comes to the sexually obsessed and sexually bizarre these guys just beat them all.
What's more, they're not just perverse, we're talking real criminal psychotic type behavior. Mutilating and raping little girls, throwing gay guys off of roofs ...
Now this.
They really make the freakiest freaks of my acquaintance look like school children by comparison.
Let them get away with this and they will next be going to the market without their husbands permission. Rules are rules.
I rather doubt that a 75 year old woman is out trolling for casual sex. These degenerate perverts are demons, not fit to call themselves human beings. Sex and how to torture women are all they think about.
Perhaps if the 75 year old woman had breast fed these men things would have gone better in court?
Sahih Muslim
' A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Sahla bint Suhail came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, I see on the face of Abu Hudhaifa (signs of disgust) on entering of Salim (who is an ally) into (our house), whereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Suckle him. She said: How can I suckle him as he is a grown-up man? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) smiled and said: I already know that he is a young man. 'Amr has made this addition in his narration that he participated in the Battle of Badr and in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) laughed. Book 008, Number 3424:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hadhaifa, lived with him and his family in their house. She (i. e. the daughter of Suhail came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: Salim has attained (puberty) as men attain, and he understands what they understand, and he enters our house freely, I, however, perceive that something (rankles) in the heart of Abu Hudhaifa, whereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said to her: Suckle him and you would become unlawful for him, and (the rankling) which Abu Hudhaifa feels in his heart will disappear. She returned and said: So I suckled him, and what (was there) in the heart of Abu Hudhaifa disappeared. Book 008, Number 3425:

Fahad and Hadyan have stated in their defence that they were delivering bread to Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi. Fahad argued that the offence of khilwa did not apply on the basis that he was related to Khamisa Mohammed Sawadi, who breastfed him when he was a child. The court, however, rejected this argument. http://www.isavelives.be/en/node/3270
Nope. That didn't work. Can't pull the burqa over these guy's eyes.

I've been following this twisted case.
In most sane places in the world we would consider this a sweet story about a man and his friend bringing groceries to his old nurse—in the heart of Dar-al-Islam such caring is considered a crime, and one resulting in a savage penalty—perhaps even a death sentence.
