Muslim Justice or the Perfect Oxymoron

A sharia "court" in Riyadh in the Blessed Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has more than doubled the punishment  of a 19 year old gang rape victim to 200 lashes and a six month jail sentence because she publicised her case. She had earlier been condemned to 90 lashes and six months for being in a car with an unrelated male at the time of the attack.
Gosh!

Is Islam good for London debate. What happened.

An exchange of views. Not a debate with a vote then being taken. Equivocal positions taken by Ed Husain and Micheal Burleigh. Yes but no, but yes. Rod Liddle and Joan Smith robustly in the " No good camp". Liddel said Islam was homophobic and fascistic. " We must be free to say what we think without having our heads cut off. " Go with that. Smith said " I am phobic towards a religion that would stone me for the way I dress. " Yep. Inayat Bunglawala for his part declared that London  has been fantastic for Islam. With Ken and the other local dhimmis doing pretty well everything that the Muslims want, cant argue with that either.

Is Islam good for London ?

Tomorrow, Tuesday 13th of November, the Royal Society of Arts in London will be hosting a debate entitled " Is Islam good for London ? " Sponsored by the Evening Standard and YOUGOVSTONE surveys, support for the motion will be provided by Inwat Bunglawal of the Muslim Council of Great Britain and Professor Micheal Burleigh.
Will opposing speakers Rod Liddel and Ed Husain be able to convince their college audience that Islam is a serious bummer pretty well everywhere on the planet? Probably not. An ideology that affords women a fraction of the rights of men and that ordains the execution of homosexuals and apostates ( from Islam only of course ) has a seemingly irresistible appeal for a disturbingly large proportion of British students and the British nomenclatura. Wonder why? No doubt because of anti-Americanism and ignorance as far as the students are concerned. For the nomenclatura, probably a mixture of anti-Americanism, mushy orientalist romanticism and the heady smell of loadsa petro-dosh. Ah well...
