This is the kind of thing that happens as a consequence of such provisions of Islamic law as the one that disallows a woman's testimony in her own rape trial. Women are so devalued under Sharia that the attitudes displayed in this case are only encouraged. From the Telegraph, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Five men who were sentenced to death for gang raping a woman on the orders of a village council are set to walk out of jail after a Pakistani high court acquitted them yesterday.The two-member court in the city of Multan also converted the death term of a sixth accomplice to life imprisonment.
The victim, Mukhtaran Mai, broke down when told the news: "That is the last resort for us," she said. She added that she would challenge the decision before the supreme court.
Mukhtaran was raped in June 2002 when she went to the village council after her 12-year-old brother was allegedly sodomised by men from the powerful Mastoi tribe.
She refused to accept the council's ruling on how to settle the dispute, and the council ordered the men to rape her in turn as more than 100 people sat outside.

How can muslims claim that God has anything to do with their behavior? Their *god* makes me sick!

I think Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, may have stumbled onto something today that explains it all about Islam. I'm not able to copy-paste in the strip itself, so I'll have to annectodalize:
Wally the Engineer is sitting waist-deep in water (as is everything else in Elbonia, including the airport) as he meets with a delegation of Elbonians.
Wally: I'm here from America to fix all of your problems.
Elbonian: Your arrogance is offensive! We will form an armed resistence and fight you to the end of time.
Wally: Um... Why?
Elbonian: It's just something we do.

I don't see why you people are complaining about this beautiful sentence in beautiful islam. Beautiful sharia means obedience to Allah, which is beautiful.
Of course, to achieve this beauty, sometimes beautiful people have to be raped into submission. That's just part of the beauty of islam.
/sarc off
To see more examples of islamic...ahem...'justice' in action, visit www.forum.jamaat.net
I guarantee the 'beautiful' sentiments will make you vomit with beauty.

Niiiice religion you've got there, guys.
Regular readers will "get" this: Guess it's better than someone saying, "Heeey, Mommi!"
Remember, Islam means "peace."
I wish there was some way to send guns to her father and brothers. I think the "powerful Mastoi" tribe could use a little attitude adjustment.
"Powerful Tribe"? I thought EVERYONE was supposed to be equal under Islamic rule. Even the boys in Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey that makes 10 cents an hour sewing soccer balls.

Yeah, and what was with the pedophilic sodomizing of that kid?
I thought Islam was against homosexual relations...well, except in heaven, I guess, where "handsome youths" are around to "attend" to brave jihadis....and islam's also against pedophilia...well, I mean, except for the time that the Prophet Mohammed married a six-year old and raped her when she was nine...
I retract my question.

Geoff, about homosexual relations - only the, um, "female" participant. Saudis that I have talked to see nothing hypocritical about this.
As far as Mai's family is concerned, I suspect that they were acting "uppity" and the Mastois took these steps to maintain their power and control.
And let us not forget that all of this happened with the concent of the local clerics. No one apparently said, "My brothers, this Muslim girl is innocent. This is wrong."

Patience, patience and retribution served up cold.

Jay,
Wait a minute, I didn't completely catch the "female" thing.
Let's use 'baseballese' - you're saying that the Saudi's don't mind "pitching", but that "catching" is immoral?
Or put another way, Saudis don't mind lifting the odd shirt, but they'd never ride a sausage?
Geoff
PS: Sorry, everyone. Those analogies just strike me as really funny. Sorry.

The decadence of the West will never hold a candle to the depravity of the Islamic world.
Let this forever remind us of the imperative of never allowing the perverse mores of these medieval charicatures of human beings into our societies.

I'd make a really bad muslimah.

Geoff:
So what you're saying is . . . when Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia hears the deuling banjos of "Deliverance", one had better be the hillbillies instead of Ned Beatty in order to avoid the "HASAN, CHOP!" treatment?
Sorry to make light of the terrible events behind this story, but as Jonah Goldberg pointed out, ridiculing these jihadiot Islamomorons is sometimes the best way to handle their senseless depravity.

Again, where are the Islam-Is-Wonderful-For-Women vacuous talking heads on this story? Julia! Oh Julia! Wherefore art thou, Julia Roach?
Oh, this is not Islam, blah, blah, blah. This is not how our magnificent Prophet meant things to be, blah, blah, blah. Oh, you're so full of hate for Muslims, blah, blah, blah.
Poor Mukhtaran Mai! How terrible for her. Those sick pigs, the council as well as the rapists. How pathetic this Islam is. Truly, disgustingly pathetic. And they have the audacity to sit there and say how pious and virtuous they are, and how decadent and immoral the West is. Yeah, right, in your dreams, brainwashed fools!

Much more on this story by Kristof in the NYT.

Yeah, something like that.
I think what Jay was saying - and what I'm asking about too - is that in Saudi Arabia if you must play "Capture the Ship" it's all right to be the arse-pirate, but not the cabin boy.
I think that must clear it up.
But Jay, is that really true? This is important.

Yes, truly they have the Christmas spirit.
Between Muslim sodomites tis better to give, than receive specifically because reciving is what women do -- YUCK!
Posted by: Kemaste at March 5, 2005 12:26 PM
The release of the rapists in an outrage as they are guilty of a heinous crime. However, those that ordered the rape are just as guilty. They also shoul have suffered the same consequence.
