Iran-Iraq War was 18th worst atrocity in history

With a million dead, the Iran-Iraq war is ranked on this website as the 18th worst atrocity in the history of the world. I was in Iraq during the first two years of that war. I had no idea at the time that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were lending money to Saddam to fight that war. The loans (Saddam thought it was a gift) were on top of Iraq's own money Saddam spent on the war. Kuwait still wants all its money back.


The pic is a little reminder to those who still believe that Saddam could not possibly be close to the Saudis, because one was secular and the other is not.

If Layla Anwar sees that photo, she'll start moaning: )))

"My Saddam, My Saddam, ohhhhh."

But it's the old Mideast enemy of my enemy thing, Muhannad.

There are probably pics of members of the Iranian government with al Qaeda and Bin Laden family members that will eventually surface.

And why's that?

"More Love And Tolerance From The Religion of Peace

This video is very graphic so I placed it below the fold. This is a stoning video of a couple. Notice the crowd of people gathered to witness the brutality.

This is Islam. This is Sharia Law in action. This is what Islam wants to impose on the West. This is the evil our Troops are fighting against.

Another warning: Extremely graphic content!"

Aton, thank you for posting the link about the sad story of the Pakistani schoolgirl who was raped at the age of 13 and refuses to stay silent about it. Also sad is that the Pakistani.

"Kainat's story of defiance is reminiscent of Mukhtar Mai, an illiterate villager who was raped by four men in 2002 as punishment after her brother was accused of adultery. Like Kainat, she ignored taboos to fight for justice and women's rights, becoming a familiar face at conferences in the US and Europe.

And like Kainat the men she accused are still free after winning an appeal against their convictions."

I thought Iraq is bad. The injustice in Pakistan is incredible.

I just found this:

'Islamic Sharia Law is based on the Koran, the hadith, and the biography of Mohammed. Shia and Sunni hadith collections differ because scholars from the two traditions differ as to the reliability of the narrators and transmitters. Shi'a sayings related to stoning can be found in Kitab al-Kafi; Sunni sayings related to stoning can be found in the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.[9]

The Koran forbids all sexual intercourse outside the marital bond as sinful, but makes no distinction between adultery and fornication—and in both cases the punishment is flogging for those found guilty.[10] Stoning (rajm) as a punishment for adultery is not mentioned in the Koran, so some modernist Muslim scholars (past and present)[who?] take the view that stoning to death was never contemplated as a punishment.

In the Sahih Bukhari, however, stoning is mandated by Mohammed at least 34 times.[11][12] According to the Hanbali jurist Ibn Qudamah, "Muslim jurists are unanimous on the fact that stoning to death is a specified punishment for the married adulterer and adulteress.
The punishment is recorded in number of traditions and the practice of Muhammad stands as an authentic source supporting it. This is the view held by all Companions, Successors and other Muslim scholars with the exception of Kharijites."[13]

Based on this, in several Muslim countries, such as, United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Iran, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia, adultery is punishable by stoning.'

Thanks Mojo..

Dolly what is your view on that video?

Dolly said...

My view is as follows Aton

Supporters of Shari'ah apparently believe that a deity above the throne above the 7th heaven has legislated exactly such punishment.

And people like you use your intellect and your desires to conclude that it's unacceptable.

But see, the thing is, you are not necessarily competent to say it is wrong.

Because according to their view, Allaah created you as well;
and Allaah knows what he created, so the Shari'ah is like the instruction manual for the son of Adam


One way out of it though, is to say that the penalty must only be instituted by the Islamic State, and not by some tribal ignoramus on his own.
↑ That is how mainstream Saudi salafeez get out of it.
