I think it's time to realize that vast swaths of the world are suffering from mental illness brought on by state- and Islam-sponsored brainwashing. I actually don't hate people like this as much as I pity them. I pity that an organism that once apparently had all the goods to become a normal, loving human being has devolved into an illogical psychopath. Pathetic.

So much for that "it's not Islam, it's cultural" thing people like Queen Rania of Jordan try to push on us.

Unless, of course, it's just coincidence that Islamic countries of many different cultures happen to manifest this particular culturual phenomenon.

Maybe, as the father of the victim, he'll do the right thing, and ask for the death sentence.

Nah, lots more wivces and kiddies where that dishonourable little tramp came from.

C'mon Charles...it just what we call the "different". This is what they do. We have no right to judge, remember?

For himself, you mean?

muslims at their best.

Now I see why europe can't wait to have this there as well.

As a woman I will never understand how the females of the left wing can possibly defend not going in and taking down any Muslim country we have reason to.

I truly believe that this is sexual aparthide. I hope that the failure of the mulim nations in taking advantage of the talents of the female half of their population means that they will never succeed.

They disgust me.

James,

Yup.

By his standards, his intentions were correct, but he erred in that the little girl had not been a victim of rape.

Even by his standards, there should be some remorse.

If ti was you or I, and we'd accidentally killed a child of ours . . .

Fat chance, though.
