Saudi court sentences gang rape victim to 200 lashes.

Further commentary is, I think, unecessary.

This is a message to the politically correct elites out there in la-la land:

KEEPING TABS ON MUSLIMS DOES NOT EQUAL RACIAL PROFILING!!!

Get it through your heads - Islam is a religion that bridges cultures, colors and countries. There are dozens of countries with Muslim majorities across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. There are countless other nations with Islamic citizens that range the gamut in features from blonde hair and blue eyes to the deepest ebony.

Islam is a religion, not a race. It is a religion with a particular set of ideologies, many of which are antithetical to Western beliefs, customs and laws. To study and track members of an ideology that poses a potential danger to a society is not evil or wrong - it is common sense applied in the service of the best interests of the communities where it is happening and for the welfare of the populace.

It is precisely the sort of thing that is aimed at keeping this from happening.

What part of this don’t you understand?

Of course, Mohammed advised this, so when people start whinging about how Islam doesn’t teach such things, refer them to the following passages:

Men are superior to women on account of the qualities with which God has gifted the one above the other, and on account of the outlay they make from their substance for them. Virtuous women are obedient, careful, during the husband’s absence, because God has of them been careful. But chide those for whose refractoriness you have cause to fear; remove them into beds apart, and scourge them: but if they are obedient to you, then seek not occasion against them: verily, God is High, Great!

Quran 4:34 (Rodwell Translation)

There are also Hadith on the topic:

Iyas Dhubab reported the apostle of Allah as saying: “Do not beat Allah’s handmaidens”, but when Umar came to the apostle of Allah and said: “Women have become emboldened towards their husbands”, he (the prophet), gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family of the apostle of Allah complaining against their husbands. So the apostle of Allah said, “Many women have gone round Muhammad’s family complaining against their husbands. They are not the best among you”.

Hadith of the Sunan of Abu Dawud; CHAPTER 709, #2141

And finally, from one of Mohammed’s own addresses:

“You have rights over your wives, and they have rights over you. You have the right that they should not defile your bed and that they should not behave with open unseemliness. If they do, God allows you to put them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not with severity. If they refrain from these things and obey you, they have right to their food and clothing with kindness. Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are your wards having no control of their persons.”

Guillaume’s translation of Ibn Ishaq’s “Sirat Rasulallah”
