LUCKY Iraqi women! STONING FOR ADULTERY coming soon!

[LynnTheDem]

You didn't have it under Hussein, but THANKS TO BUSH, you will have it now!

RAH RAH RAH!

La Repubblica interview, Feb. 8, 2005, with Sayid Nasr al-Yasari, Sistani's spokesman;

La Repubblica: "Putting it in a nutshell, there will be no more stoning of adulterous women, is that it?"

Al-Yasari: "Well, it depends. In the case of married women whom eye witnesses can accuse of betraying their husbands, the punishment can only be that. But in any event there will be very few exemplary sentences, and they will always be issued after a fair trial."

Welcome to "liberated" Iraq – that’s what our troops are dying for, and that’s what you’re paying for. It’s medievalism with a "democratic" face.

RAH RAH RAH! Now you Iraqis get out and VOTE for that "constitution" you've never read and bring the joys of stoning adulerous women to Iraq! RAH RAH RAH!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

1. Pathetic.

Well, nobody can say we've shoved OUR democracy down their throats. We tried, but they wouldn't swallow!

Time to take our toys and quietly leave.

[LynnTheDem]

5. Good thing we slaughtered 100,000 give or take a few thousand,

so at least we can say we tried.

:eyes:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

6. And left our own children's blood there as well

Yep, we need to slink away very, very quietly.

[LynnTheDem]

8. WE INVADED. WE are the BAD GUYS. WE are the CRIMINALS.

We need to get the fuck out, you bet...and pay and pay and pay and pay and pay every damn penny for the Iraqis to rebuild their country that WE destroyed, and for every life that WE took in bush's war of choice war of aggression.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

12. I think we will be paying for generations to come

and not just in cash.

[LynnTheDem]

15. Oh yeah we will be. Blowback's gonna be a bitch.

And guaranteed, majority of Americans will sit stunned and wonder why they hate us. And round and round we'll go. Again.

[okieinpain]

22. I'll agree with the pay part, take a little bit of the criminal deal.

but bad guys I'm not incline to go along with that.

[Arugula Latte]

48. Um, this country illegally invaded Iraq and bombed the crap out of them

and thousands were murdered and maimed.

What would you call people if they did that to us?

[Parche]

19. Iraq

Am I glad that over 1900 of our brave US soldiers have been
killed so they can vote on a great Constitution, that includes
things like this (Heavy Sarcasm)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. Now, THIS is my idea of democracy

If only we had a democracy.

If only we had a Constitution.

Everybody gets a rock, right?

Now, THAT's democracy.

[LynnTheDem]

10. But do some get bigger rocks than others?

That's the question.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

21. Well, now that you mention it,

WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA????????

[bryant69]

3. Hooray!. Gosh that makes me feel great.

At least they are only going to stone a few women to death as an example to the others. I mean, there's no way it could get out of hand, could it?

4. Let freedom rain down... in a fusillade of rocks.

Score one for the republicans, huh? Creating yet another islamist state in the Middle East.

Idiots. Incompetent, blundering, fools.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

7. Gives a whole new meaning to getting stoned, huh?

[okieinpain]

23. ha, now that's funny. I can see that now, a bunch of iraqi women

standing on the steps of the state capitol. they start singing let freedom ring and a bunch of rocks rain down on them. man, oh man.

[madrchsod]

9. wait a minute did anyone tell bush`s nannies about this?

i thought karen,the sofa,and condo all said women should have rights? or was that the right to be stoned?...sorry i get so confused about what democracy those lovely ladies talk about

[LynnTheDem]

13. Ya mean like Afghanistan is now a "success" and women are "free"?

Did Condi and Karen and the sofa et al ever mention that law Afghanistan enacted in 2004? The one where it's a felony -perhaps death penalty- for "insulting in any manner" the Koran? Did they mention yet that women in Afghanistan are now WORSE OFF -as are the women in Iraq- than before bush's bullshit wars of aggression?

Hmmm. Nope, don't think they mentioned any of this. Could be why the women in the ME dunned Hughes out.

[FreedomAngel82]

46. Oh of course not

And I remember earlier this year when Laura went to Afghainstan she came back and claimed that everything was swell and than a few days later a report came out that a woman was absued and raped. Oh yes. They're so better off.

[GregW]

11. "Are there any women here?"

(Apologies for Pythonesque humor in an otherwise serious subject)

[ourbluenation]

32. Jehovah! Jehovah!

Sorry - I couldn't help myself...carry on!

[Stephanie]

14. We're fighting for their FREEEEEEDUM

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/13/AR2005101300754.html?nav=rss_nation/special

BUSH: And the philosophy is so opposite of ours. It is the exact opposite of what America stands for. We stand for religious freedom and freedom to speak and womens' rights and capacity for people to realize their dreams.

They stand for a vision that doesn't believe in freedom; that if you don't agree with their narrow point of view that you're subject to reprisal.

And so I want to thank you for being a part of this global war.

And Iraq is a part of the war because the enemy understands that a free Iraq will be a blow to their vision and their strategy of spreading dominance throughout the broader Middle East.

[LynnTheDem]

17. Yes that's why Usama bin Laden is SOOOO HAPPY and LOOOOVES

George W Bush.

Because Iraq isn't now, and isn't gonna be free, it's gonna be more repressive than it ever was under Hussein. Courtesy of the United States Of America. RAH RAH RAH!

[PinkyisBlue]

37. I want to realize my dreams

of seeing Bushco impeached by the end of the year.

[ComerPerro]

44. Bush said that? The second paragraph you have

"They stand for a vision that doesn't believe in freedom; that if you don't agree with their narrow point of view that you're subject to reprisal."

That arrogant motherfucker.

The pure audacity of him, to make that claim.

How come whenever he tries to get on a moral high horse and condemn others, he always ends up describing himself?

WTF?

Do they do it deliberately, for amusement, because they know they can get away with it?

Are they so arrogant that they can't even step back and see their own flaws?

Or, are they just so oblivious that it just goes right over their heads?

[kenny blankenship]

16. Not to mention beheading for homosexuality

No specific acts will be needed since the crime is one of being not necessarily acting.

[SillyGoose]

18. Damn it all! This should be plastered all over the MSM.

nominated.

[okieinpain]

20. lord help them if they get raped. stoning is probably letting them

off easy. but of course repugs say "hey we use to have slaves, give them a couple hundreds years before you start criticizing them".

[etherealtruth]

24. Nominated ...

Thank you again for your posts r/t this issue

[indepat]

25. Goody, Iraq will likely have a full-blown theocracy before we do

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. Oh I don't know about that. We still might win that race.

Blech!

[indepat]

27. Probably wishful thinking on my part

[Pacifist Patriot]

28. And I'm feeling surly and pessimistic today.

;)

[dogday]

29. She died with her burka on....

What a trooper.... This is just another reason we stop now, we bring them home now... Not one more life for this shit, not one more!!!!

[Amonester]

30. And then, we all know that once the "liberated" Iraqis will start

stoning tens, then hundreds, then thousands of innocent women...

The PNAC criminals will then say something close to: "We (uh-umm), we have to stay in Iraq and torture, rape (kids!), and kill and maim thousands of innocents because we "must" impose "our" way over them until the day they'll stop stoning their innocent women" (the same crimes they were forbidden to commit under the previous "dictatorship")...

How more "predictable" can these robber-barons ever get?? :grr:

http://icasualties.org :cry:

[welshTerrier2]

31. if we "succeed", they lose ...

we're told the US is fighting for democracy and stability ... would you want things to become stable if that stability empowered a government and a constitution that allowed the government to have you stoned ???

democracy and stability are to be valued for sure ... but a democracy built on theocratic values imposed on those who are not "believers" is a tyranny the US, and certainly our elected Democrats, should NOT be supporting ...

if current Democratic thinking were to evolve to its "successful" conclusion, the rights of the Sunnis and especially Sunni women would be lost to a tyranny of the majority ... Democrats who continue to vote for more war funding are condemning the Sunni people to a life void of hope ...

it's crazy and i will never vote for the Democrats who continue to support this madness ...

great post, LynnTheDem !!

[deadparrot]

33. Three cheers for theocracies!

:woohoo:

:sarcasm:

[NNN0LHI]

34. They use only small stones for stoning women to death now in Afghanistan

...since the the USA invaded and occupied that country. That is quite an improvement over the Taliban.


http://www.nypress.com/15/3/news&columns/wildjustice.cfm

<snip>Shortly before the turn of the year Justice Minister Karimi declared Afghanistan’s new government would still impose Sharia Islamic law on its people, but with less harshness. The details were fleshed out by Judge Ahamat Ullha Zarif, who told the French news agency Agence France Presse that public executions and amputations will continue, but there will be changes: "For example, the Taliban used to hang the victim’s body in public for four days. We will only hang the body for a short time, say 15 minutes." Very Warholian.

Kabul’s sports stadium, financed by the International Monetary Fund, was where the Taliban used to carry out public executions and amputations every Friday. No longer. "The stadium is for sports. We will find a new place for public executions," says Judge Zarif.

Judge Zarif makes it clear that the ultimate penalty will remain in force for adulterers, both male and female. They would still be stoned to death, Zarif told the French news agency, "but we will use only small stones."

Now there’s progress!

Amina's uncle, Mohammad Azim, stands near the clearing where he said the villagers of Gazon buried his niece up to her waist and stoned her to death - THE WASHINGTON POST



<snip>Within an hour, the entire village would learn that the 25-year-old married woman had been discovered in a darkened hut nearby with her lover.

Within two days, Amina would be dead - killed by her fellow villagers on April 20 after the men of the community ruled that she had violated Islamic law by having an affair with a neighbor.

Amina's fate highlights the magnitude of the challenge faced by Afghanistan's central government as it attempts to extend the rule of modern law and democratic processes beyond the nation's capital, Kabul, more than three years after the defeat of the repressive and fundamentalist Islamic Taliban regime.

But the attention that Amina's killing has attracted in a forgotten corner of Badakhshan province also tells the story of a region in flux - caught between centuries of conservative tradition and the hopes of a nascent modern state.

[greygandalf]

35. With the US military presence. I do not think it would happen.

We would apply "pressure"

[LynnTheDem]

40. Ummm...yet it's happening in Afghanistan & the US military is there.

Hmmmm.

[JanMichael]

47. Funny no reply.

I imagine reality is a bummer for some.

[elehhhhna]

36. Rumsfeld Quote for Tommorow : " Sure, freedom can be a little rocky..."

[gulfcoastliberal]

38. Now the Taliban can call Iraq home!

Yay for Sharia! That's the kind of "democracy" we're installing! Whoo-hoo!

[NNN0LHI]

41. Kind of

The government we installed in Afghanistan stones women to death too.
