14 year old Rape victim punished for "sexual immorality" in Bangladesh under Islamic Sharia law and receives 200 lashes, while her rapist is only fined. During the lashing, Hena became unconscious; when she was rushed to the nearby village hospital, the attending doctors declared her dead.

This makes me extremely angry and sad...

Here (http://news.google.com/news/story?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=14+year+old+rape+victim&cp=16&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ncl=dUfqOMn3vKTyLGM_Y4CMSFRcuesCM&ei=nBdLTarOF4yr8Abel_HFDg&sa=X&oi=news_result&ct=more-results&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CCYQqgIwAQ) are just the google news results which brings up 222 articles about this incident alone...

In the "About section" it looks like it's [Hudson NY] run by (moderate) Muslims who are against extremism and human rights being violated. I'm not sure why that is an odd agenda? I find it refreshing actually...

It is frustrating, horrific and every negative word there is.

As always, I ask where is the Feminist Industrial Complex on this? They can actually do some good, here, so....

(I know the answer to my own question, but I ask it, regardless.)

God, that poor girl. First she's raped, then she is charged for her victimizer's crime, and finally she is beaten and murdered. No one should have to suffer that kind of pain. There are no words to describe how heartbreaking and unfair that is. She must have felt so scared and alone. I pray people here an in other countries wake up and give woman and girls in positions like that girl's the help and protection they need. It's sick that in this day and age that stuff still happens.

How horrible. I can't even imagine what that girl went through.

Welcome to the middle east where rape and murder is allowed as long as it's a woman. The whole 'Islamic Sharia law' is nothing but a cult used to oppress people and destroy lives. One day, in about 100 years they will look back at this and wonder why they they ever obeyed such barbaric things

That is assuming that the possible Islamic Caliphate does not arise. If it should you will see the spread of Sharia across the world.

If that's the case we'll grab our guns and fight back. Fact is the people will be tired of weak useless politicians soon enough and will rise up against them

And these are just the cases we hear about. Who knows how many women have died or continue to suffer in this manner.

But y'know, Christianity is just as bad.
/sarc

This is happening all over the world, on a regular basis, wherever sharia law is established. Where are the liberal feminists? Where is all of Hollywood?

:::crickets:::

Oh, yeah. They are too busy demonizing Sarah Palin and her daughter.

Most important, though, where are the MUSLIMS protesting this, by the thousands and the millions - especially in free countries like America, where they have the legalized right to assemble and protest anything they like?

Again, crickets. And that is the most telling thing of all.

We actually have an Iraqi immigrant on trial here for a honor killing. He ran over his daughter with his truck because he thought she had become "too Westernized."

Of course, this isn't being reported in the MSM. According to them, "honor killings" a) don't exist; b) if they exist, it would never be in America and would only be in some super-Muslim country, like France, and its her fault; c) Christians and Jews did it, too.

So yeah. Its starting here, and once it takes root, how can it be stopped?

There have been a bunch of cases like that. Then there's the husband who BEHEADED his own wife:

This should have been - and continued to be - front page, 24/7 news, just like the OJ Simpson trial was. I'd bet most people haven't even heard of it. If this had been a conservative or a Jewish person or a (professing) Christian person it sure would be this way. This? Nothing. It infuriates me.

The kicker? This monster was the head (and founder?) of a TV network called Bridges TV, something designed to improve the image of Muslims. From their FB page:

"seeking to improve the image of Muslims in the United States" and to "offer a unique perspective on the Middle East and the war on terrorism,"

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7671494239

How laughable is that? If this was a script for a movie it would be deemed too far-fetched to be believable! Here's a hint, Muslims. If you wish to improve your image, STOP SLAUGHTERING PEOPLE!

As a side note, what sort of animal cuts off someone's head? And his own wife, the mother of his children! It's unimaginable to me, how people can do something so disgusting and savage. Can you even imagine the horror that poor woman endured before she finally passed out and died? And now their kids have to live with that knowledge and even testify against their own father?

The world yawns.
