Are we supposed to be tolerant of this?

This shows the danger of Shariah law. The man is allowed to do anything and the girl cannot defend herself. These village 'elders' should be brought up on charges of murder. The girl was innocent. She probably screamed and screamed but they just ignored her because they knew even if she had her hands bound, she would be flogged for letting someone she trusted be near her someone who she trusted. Do they want women and girls in that country to have mind reading abilities? It is good thing that the government over there disapproves of this practice. I only hope they put their disapproval in practice, and bring the 'elders' in on charges and perhaps execute them along with the 40 year old rapist.

i've said it before,and i'll say it again.if i lived in that area of the world with no-win laws like that,i would cut my hair,dress like a man,and walk out of the country if i had to just to leave.

morning lags i would like to respond to this but i fear id get kicked off mylot or the fed's would be knocking at my door either way i agree with you, nuff said

Why of course we're supposed to be tolerant of this--didn't you know? Why, all religions & none at all are equally good (except of course for Christianity & Judaism, which are totally eeeevil), we all worship the same God, & if you don't agree you're a racist bigot! And if you buy all that, boy do I have a bridge for you!

This is just one of the barbaric punishments that is stated in the Quran and hadith in the so called "religion of peace". Here are a few more: Sharia law allows husbands to hit their wives. Highway robbers should be mutilated or crucified. Thieves (male or female) will have their hand cut off. Homosexuals must be executed. Drinkers or gamblers are whipped. If you criticize the Quran or the Muslim religion you will be executed. And this is the religion that they would like to spread across the entire world. The Quran also teaches Jihad against non-believers. While Jihad doesn't necessarily mean war, it CAN mean war and that is obviously what they are waging by trying to kill all non-believers. Oh, and by the way, once you're a Muslim, if you leave the religion and/or convert to anything else, they kill you for that too. Sounds like a wonderful religion doesn't it?

That is horrible news to hear. Does those people have any civilization and any thought of that case, that the girl might be the victim and why she been suffered from it? I just don't understand it. Those people who committed crime should be condemned and judged in front of the public.

Wow!! This is unreal. To think in this day and age things like this can still happen and the person doing the crime gets away with it acting like it is No big deal. Personally this is SICK. Honestly I guess that this just shows how immoral the world is really getting and how twisted. I honestly cannot believe someone can be like this and live with themselves. Really now?

hooAH Shiria Law~ ;~D

laglen, I have to admit that this is not the only atrocity and if I may add the last of it. I am totally against this religion and its extremities side where their laws advocates amputations of limbs, stoning to deaths, beheading and many others which include harsh discriminating sentences on their womenfolks which today is the much talk about topic. Let me assure you that her perpetrators that defiled her and her adulterous other half will not have a sentence harsher than this girl's. Just makes us glad that we are not at this side of the bargain, ain't we?

I once watched an Iranian girl hang for "adultery" with a man that had raped her with the conivance of her own father! Justice medieval style! Shameful in this day and age.

Disgusting, yes, but the "politically correct" US masses of fools are oblivious to "creeping Sharia" here and elsewhere and turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the putrid evil and cruelty of Islam.

Oh my god! that is terrible. i don't understand why and how the men always seem to escape from such a thing. In fact legally, he has to be punished as she is not even an adult! This is so sad that things like this keep happening in india i am from india too so indians please do not take offence. Since there are lot of villages and the members not educated, It leads to all of this. I don't say that the educated don't do anything bad . . .but at some point education would give them a sense of how to be civil about things right!? What good is 100lashes going to make to a kid!? It can affect her mentally after what ever she has gone through!?

I think this is absolutely rediculous. I think the court and the adults should protect the young girl instead of punishing her for being raped. Her cousin who raped her has a distorted moral and he should definitely be the one to be applied 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000lashes and publice flogging instead of the innocent girl. I hope that these cases will not happen anymore in the feture and the girl can rest in peace as soon as possible.

this is outrageous!!
