Default No lashing

Looks like she wont be lashed but she still has to spend 15 days in Jail were she may still be tortured. Trust me though this thing looks like its far from over.

I heard some islamic guy say at a press conference on this issue that many islamic children probably name their teddy bears Mohammed. What's really happening is Sudan striking back at "the West" for interfering with their genocide.

Default Absurd and "Absurder" Still

This is an absolutely ridiculous case that makes every rational person shake their head. Of course, one has to understand that the political establishment in Sudan isn't exactly of sound mind.

Regardless, what makes me quite angry is the disproportionate attention paid to this case when worse cases of human abuse exist in plain sight. Absurd as this case is, the woman got a swift trial and legal representation.

Detainees in US gulags like Gitmo haven't even received that right.

Yaaaaa - teachers are equivalent to islamofascist gunmen caught on the battlefield - great comparison.

THEY are violent, non-American citizen, non-uniformed (illegal combatants), intolerant, woman-discriminating, gay-killing, fanatical, totalitarian, murdering terrorist scum...SHE is a completely innocent 54 year old freedom-loving (democratic) British female school-teacher who was just trying to help her students learn...she even probably had to take a pay cut to teach in that hell-hole.

The two are NOT equal!

Default Maybe this is equal

Woemn getraped and killed in Dudan, in Darfur, everyday. No real outcry, except maybe 'Africa sucks' One British women is, yes, wrongly, send to jail for 15 days (and it seems if the Sudanese Fuhrer, sorry, president might intervene anyway) and huge international outcry.

Not quite fair, now is it.

AH

*alleged. Thats the entire point... they haven't been charged or tried or given access to any evidence against them. If they're guilty, prove it in a free and fair trial or set them free.... Unless thats done, the UShas no right to tell others how their judicial systems should work or condemn other countries for corrupt legal practices.
