hi, its people like the guy who wrote this article who dont understand that the west is the biggest problem to the bigger picture! God forbid if your daughter or mother got raped, you would be the first to moan about the punishment given to the criminal as the punishment system in this country is appauling.Ive travelled to many muslim countries and due to the punishment system there is barely any crime at all!

What we must understand is that no where on this earth is there pure sharia law and there hasnt been for many many years.Where sharia law is implemented in the correct manner it actually acts as a scare device whereas people are too scared to commit crime. We in the west talk about democracy but we will not even let the muslim implement sharia law in there own countries. If this is what the people want then let them have it.

We will never win the war in iraq or afghanistan because we are seen as intruders out to steal the valuable oil and gas reserves... Open your mind these people are deserved of their rights just as we are!
