14-year-old Bangladeshi girl executed after being raped

In Bangladesh? I thought this kind of thing happened only in Saudi Arabia.

Nicholas Kristof: "Hena collapsed after 70 lashes and was taken to the hospital. She died a week later, by some accounts because of internal bleeding and a general loss of blood. The doctors recorded her death as a suicide. (Women and girls who are raped are typically expected to commit suicide, to spare everyone the embarrassment of an honor crime.) I’ve covered enough of these kinds of stories to know that it’s difficult to know exactly what happened unless you’re on the scene talking to everyone who was there; maybe the imam has a different version of events. But all accounts that I’ve seen such that this was a brutal attack on a helpless girl in the name of sharia and justice."

A commenter on that article explains: "This is what was formerly known as East Bengal. Something like this would never happen in West Bengal. If a girl is raped or even as much as "eve teased" forget about it - the whole township will beat the rapist. In East Bengal and in Muslim dominated areas, it is the other way around, its always the girls fault. Apart from religion, nothing separates East and West Bengal, they share the same language, the same culture, similar cuisine, same love for Rabindra sangeet, same music, same dance, same love for literature, even similar passion for debating and chatter. Sad and grim."

This horrible atrocity is just one of many that can be traced back to the funding & training of far too many inmans, mosques and religious by "our friends" the Saudis and the extremist hate-filled Wahabbi version of Islam. It is the seemingly endless oil wealth of Saudi Arabia being used to promote Wahabbism that is distorting all of Islam to such a horrific extreme state.

Wahhabism is the only pure creed, the other 72 ones are deviant

You can tell a Wahhabi by their claim that Allah is located above the Throne.
Whereas, run of the mill muslims think Allah is "everywhere."

However there is clear evidence that he is in fact above the Throne.

this type of injustice happening worse in the Western Countries more than you can imagine, but they keep it in silence!! Nowdays, it is all about offending Muslims everyways. Hena is just a 1 example, what about many girls are being raped in New York?? what about them? How many girls are getting justice?...very less!!

Well obviously you don't know anything, or otherwise you wouldn't be misspelling IMAM.

The difference between Christianity and Al-Islam is that Christians worship without proof, and with wishful thinking.

You THINK something is wrong, so hence it is wrong?

That is the reasoning of Iblees, who also used his intellect to refuse to prostrate to Adam

So whoever puts his Aql (intellect) before the Naql (text), then his imam is Shaytaan

Only those born into Christianity worship without proof. There are also lots of people who think they're Christians, but haven't been chosen by God.

True Christians are hand picked by Jesus himself. When the Holy Spirit comes calling, it's all the proof you'll ever need. It happened to me on a dark highway 200 miles from home. When I stopped praying in some language I've never heard before, I was in my driveway. I still don't know how I made it home with my eyes closed and hands raised, but I certainly don't need further proof.

It could happen to you someday Dolly. If it happened to Paul, it could happen to anyone. You hate Christians, but Paul hunted them down and killed them. There's really no defense against the Holy Spirit. I'm not a proselytizer, or an evangelist, but I thought someone really ought to tell you what a Christian is, and why.

Women who are raped in the west are not brought up on charges at all, let alone whipped until they die from their injuries. Some of you people are so blinded by your own vile hatred, it is unbelievable.
