Very very...

seems like this post stirred up some controversy. Nice to see the pot get mixed and peoples feathers ruffled. I like a good debate but lets keep it nice and civilized people. There is a lot of anger in our world as there is and we do not need to keep adding more to the mix. It would be nice if we could all bring our opinions to the table and just be open to others who differ from our own.

I have no words on how I feel..Thanks for the news,tells me how disgusting and degrading religion can end upto.. It makes me feel good that all bad things about Islam are coming out,even from the most remote places of earth,so that muslims can have self introspection and correct their mistakes..

You seem to be getting

You seem to be getting extremism confused with islam as many westerners do. They are two different things.

Is this true

Is this real a true story!

Oh..

To hard women there to live. I heard about similar measures in Malaysia.

Reality

One wonders what really goes on over there. We really might never know. It's not exactly an open society.

Although this story is

Although this story is probably true and Sharia Law is quite shocking at times, you have to love the Daily Mail for trying to promote anti-muslim feeling in this article as they do everyday. If they are not writing negative stories about Muslims then it's immigrants in Britain and how they are ruining the country. I wish they would present both side of the coin now and again.
