Are you sure its still the same case :?
Yes Tania, it is regarding the same case, these were comments made by those who saw broadcasts relating to this issue..
1.I blame the society for what happened. May be she was forced to marry with that man and she had no option for divorce. In this days, in Saudi can you divorce from the husband or you have to wait until he makes the first move :?.
That's a lot of assumtions, key word here is "Maybe".
2. Giving to a woman a sentence of 200 lashes, they are sentencing her to death.
you don't get lashed for getting raped

oh: regarding this case, they increased the number of lashes because she spun the story in her favor and tried to abuse the media to influence the judge. She was having an illicit affair outside of marriage which she admitted to.
3. I no wonder the woman hide the rape because only the thought of lashes ....
I don't see why they should hide it, you don't get lashed for getting raped. They lashed this woman for having illicit affairs outside marriage which she admitted according to the broadcasts.
So the example you gave is not an example of "inciting rape". But I ask what was an example. So could you give us an example of a woman "Inciting Rape"?
Wilber as for your question regarding inciting rape. Well if your walking around showing your bling blings to a theif who knows he can overpower you and get his way against you what is there to stop him? For example there were Ads here in London showing how you shouldn't show your mobile in public places for risk of getting mugged, this is a crime which is regularely commited round here unfortunately. Basically the message was to reduce the risk of getting mugged by hiding your vluables. If we apply the same logic to Rape cases, we should encourage our woman to conceal their beauty so as not to incite or reduce the risk against those who tend to deviate if given the chance.
I am no fan of Saudi...and I know many...ok ok ALL non-Muslims think the Shariah is Barbaric. But before you complain or mock the Laws others implement in order to prevent crimes I suggest you get your back yard in order first. FYI:
[PIE]1) Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.
2) Between 1 in 4 women experienced completed or attempted rape during their college years (Fisher, Cullen, and Turner 2000). Statistics vary according to how the numbers are processed and RAINN reports the figure as 1 in 6.
3) Over 32,000 pregnancies result from rape every year (Holmes et al., 1996) CDC

If something appears to be destructive to a community or humanity in general laws are placed to insure the pertrators of such crime dare not do it out of fear of the consequences. If it means flogging them, hanging then, stoning them, gouging their eyes out etc so be it. We don't want to be handing the perpetrators a bowl of roses now do we? as can be seen from the stats in America, your Laws aren't working...
Personally, I do not accept Islam because I can comprehend the Shariah, I accept Islam becuase I see it as truth and I have no doubt that the Qur'an is the Words of Allah(SWT) and his fina massenger is Mohammad(SAW).
Non-Muslims who come here trying to show how barbaric our laws are do not put an iota of weight against its truth. We as Muslims find no valid argument against the truth in the Qur'an, we accept its Laws after accepting Allah(SWT) and his massenger as complete truth...not because how beautiful we thought the it's laws were.
