gosh, yes. i'm sure all those women's groups that rushed to her aid will now assist her leaving the country

I note that all the grounds given for rejection of the sentence are technical.

Nowhere does the court suggest that it might actually be wrong to stone people to death for adultery.

Evil Pundit,

Reminds me of Veiled 4 Allah's comments a while ago.

evil, please note they're not in any way, shape or form advocating stoning people; this enlightened sharia court only stones women. the men presumably involved are guilt-free.

Have a gander at my site (linked below). Another Niger (male) is to be given the rock and roll (without the roll) treatment for playing hide-the-sausage with some little boys.

i'm surprised they're not going to stone the boys as well

Speaking of people getting out of Islamic countries, Edward Said is dead.

"But lead defense lawyer Aliyu Musa Yawuri said that under some interpretations of Shariah, babies can remain in gestation in a mother's womb for five years, opening the possibility her ex-husband could have fathered the child."

This lawyer is nearly as good as a certain Mr Clark -

Mr Clark is a good lawyer,
He's as good as I've seen,
He's the first man that proved that,
Water run upstream.

Has anyone been to the "ask an Imam" site to ask about this ruling?

Whats the URL again?

Stoning people for adultery is wrong. Executing people for paedophilia is common sense.

No doubt lizardoid minions will be blamed for Edward Said's death.

> Speaking of people getting out of Islamic countries, Edward Said is dead.

Oh no! The headlines in Green Left We[a]kly!

Said Dies After Bush UN Speech

Coincidence? Don't make me laugh!

> babies can remain in gestation in a mother's womb for five years, opening the possibility her ex-husband could have fathered the child

Don't have a Guinness Book of Records nearby but, if memory serves, it says our own (British, common-law) courts have held that pregnancies can be as long as 14 months and as short as five (something like that) -- these were from rulings on cases where bub's paternity was disputed because Dad was away from Mum, a-sailing the world, the normal eight to ten months before bub arrived.

Geez Louise, wouldn't it be a much fairer and just society if good old Veiled 4 Allah (see above) was running the show? Getting caught out by four blokes seem much more reasonable to me.
Not sure why there is a cheap shot at women's groups in the first post. They never created the horrific law that would require Amina to leave if she needed to.

Hmm, well picked up, Andjam.

I don't wish cancer on anybody, not even Krakafat.

Still, I see the sick-making obituaries are already crediting Said as a "renaissance man"!!?! What a strange description to bestow on a man who spent his life stridently defending a society that is politically and religiously rooted in the Dark Ages.

And, like that other mendacious fraud, Chomsky, he chose to cuddle up to the bosom of the Great Satan. Much safer than, say, joining the International Socialist, er, I mean, Solidarity Movement, and martyring himself under an armour plated bulldozer. I wonder how much tolerance his beloved Palestinians would have held for an outspoken intellectual who resided in the West Bank while championing the right of Israel to exist while promoting the righteousness of the United States.

The loss of his poisonous clamour from the debate over Palestine has surely removed at least one 'Detour' sign from the Roadmap.

AL B.

By the way, where's Bruce Willis when you need him?

"Where is Said?"

"Said's dead, baby".

And yes, I know it's pronounced "sayde" or even "sah-yeed" -- but so too should "dead" be pronounced "dah-yeed", like that guy in Cool Hand Luke whose dog got topped.

I've been pushing for the eviction of the UN from its Manhattan digs, which would be renovated to serve as a hostel for refugees fleeing UN-approved thugocracies. Amina Lawal should be at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Might even name a suite after her.

all i know is that people in glass houses shouldnt get stoned .. ok?

So Tim,

If she showed up in a leaky boat off the coast of Christmas Island should our fearless leader turn the boat around and sent to Indonesia (a muslim country) or let it land here?

Darlster, that was not a cheap shot at women's groups. It was a legitimate criticism of women's groups who threw the weight of their organizations against Bush, against the battles in Afghanistan and Iraq, against the U.S., yet remained strangely silent on stoning lest they be perceived as anti-Muslim or (God forbid) supportive of the war against Islamofascists.

I certainly agree that there are women's groups like that Ken. Of course, there are other women's groups who have been in there having a go). There is an unfortunate tendency amongst some in the left to prefer supporting the crappiest regime as long as they can be seen to be anti-American (the wear a veil thing that was supported by Germaine and Natasha is but one example). It is like some of these people have never left university and are still trying to appear hip, when really they are about due for a hip replacement.
