its all bollocks to show women being oppressed in muslim countries, they'll never mention a man being subjected to shariah punishment for things like zina etc

No, they'll just show the street magic of a kid getting his arm crushed by a car, citing he stole bread and this is his sharia punishment.

Sensationalism and shocking pictures sell papers. Why stick to the full story, when part of the story catches the readers attention and sells. The name of the game is called PROFITS.

The attitude of Journalism, a full wallet is worth more than the full truth
 
Nahhhhhhhhhhhh overdone it now bruv

Good point. Guess I'm still naively under the impression that reporting news is about reporting news - not making profit. Silly me.

That is what is supposed to be. Genuine Free Press newspapers are few and seldom last long.

People seldom are willing to pay for the truth, but will pay exorbitant prices for entertainment. Creative writing pays more than full disclosure of facts.

Perhaps one day there will be a genuine public supported media. Perhaps one day mountains will fly.
 
They still do caning in Singapore as well. I don't believe the story in the thread for a minute:hmm: I think she assaulted her teacher and got in trouble for more than just bringigng a cell phone.

Brutal: public floggings, such as in this archive picture, are a common punishment handed down by religious courts in Saudi Arabia.

if the picture shows punishment for zina , then it's ok . Allah says :

The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allah, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment 24:2

I guess , the school girl won't get the same punishment like the sinners of illegal affairs get. May be , women guard will flog her lightly ? Do u have any details ? She offered her apology but still was not pardoned ?

I have been searching the archives of the Newspapers I know of in the mideast for any mention. So far I have not found anything. Not even in the Israeli Paper Haaretz
 
Then I shall look no more into it. This is hardly the first time the Daily Mail has been hate mongering Muslims.

I did not find anything related to the girl, but I did find a story from the same time frame of the the alleged 13 year old girl. This was about a group of university student who were caught cheating on an exam. after being expelled from school they assaulted the teacher who caught them, beat him quite bad and damaged his car. so far they have not been arrested, but the assault is an ongoing investigation.
 
if uncle woodrow is right then id say she deserved the punishment ouch getting 90lashes would be so painful :phew

If the girl is related or part of the Univesity students, those students have not been arrested yet and wont be until undeniable proof is found against them. so far none of them have had any punishment ordered for them.

But, that story makes it difficult to believe a 13 year old would get 90 lashes.
 
:sl:

It seems that the full truth of this story is yet to be determined, therefore it is pointless discussing such an article until it is verified. We also have a very important rule related to this for posting in the World Affairs section:

Articles which present an incorrect representation of Muslims or Islamic teachings, by highlighting unIslamic acts, are unacceptable.


For those reasons, this thread is closed.

EDIT - Just realised this thread is in General section, when it should have been in World Affairs. I'm quite sure a similar article was posted in World Affairs too.
