Where reason is not understood

Yesterday in the "progressive" country of Dubai a court entered a guilty sentence against a Norwegian national that serves as nothing more than an illustration of how badly the religion of Mohammad can distort reality.

It all started when a 24 year old lady from Norway went to Dubai on business. Since Dubai is, by Muslim standards a very liberal country with a record for allowing its citizens great latitude she didn't anticipate any problems during her business trip. Unfortunately she went out one evening and  ended her day by being raped by a local. When she reported the crime to the police they not only arrested the rapist they also arrested her. He was charged with having a carnal relationship outside marriage and for the consumption of alcohol and was sentence to 13 months in jail. She was charge with the same crimes and has been sentenced to 16 months in jail.

Under Sharia law the lady is guilty of being female and was treated more harshly than the low life that made her a victim. And yet our political bosses say we need to treat the followers of the "religion of peace" with dignity when those very "peaceful" people are unwilling to act as responsible adults and to show respect for people.

It is an extreme statement...but I think I learned all I need to know about Islam on 9/11
