the justification for this forced marriage is found in deuteronomy 22:23-24: ' .
if a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.
OK, fine. If you want it stated again for the record, here it is:
James, James, James...just own the fact that you created this discussion instead of weakly trying to make it appear as if I started this. In fact, "for the record," I was quite content to laugh at you and Bangalore, and responded only when Diest asked a question. Perhaps you should refrain from attacking others. ; )
You, I think, are an Islamic apologist.
For which Islam?

As for your not wanting to get involved in this debate, I believe YOU posted this, which naturally prompted Diests question. That is a very odd way of not wanting to get involved. ; )
Which person on the left said we should follow sharia law?
I was speaking of a poster here.

except to say that the topic story is an absolute outrage, and should be denounced by all of Islam. Which it obviously has not been.
Your over-emotionalism concerning Islam is on display again Woods.
A cursory reading of the comments associated with the Al Arabiya article shows multiple denouncements. Simply put, you failed to see any denoucements because you failed to look. You failed to look because you weren't interested in seeing.
This was the first one I found...comment number four:
Moroccan gov't should punish those judges Mohammad Nabiul Karim (Guest) 09:45am GMT, 12:45pm KSA, 14/03/2012 It was absolutely unlawful judgement by some stupid bull-sheet judge(s)..... Moroccan gov't should punish those judges for this Uncivilized barbarian philosophical judgement indeed......

Your beliefs are documented in prior posts as are mine Mr. Woods.

As for the Sharia in "this case," no, I do not defend that. Neither would any of my Muslim friends.
Yet, there are many Sharias. Asking whether a person supports Sharia makes no sense because it is analogous to asking whether a person will defend Bible law? Which Bible law? The interpretation of the Universalist Unitarians or Jehovah's Witnesses?
One can be referring to the Sharia of the Sufi Fethullah Gulen's. http://en.fgulen.com/ Or the Sharia of the Arabian Sunni Wahhabi's (bin Laden).
You will find that Mr. Wood's/Bangalore and I approach post-JW life from dichotomously different perspectives. I was "born-in" and never believed that JWs were the only group that would survive Armageddon. JW exceptionalism deeply bothered me, and I retain that pluralism. IF there is a God, I think s/he is quite capable of examining this world and identifying individuals who display the qualities s/he desires. There are a couple of billion Muslims in the world, and not all of them are evil, though some of them are. There are a few billion Christians in the world, and not all of them are evil, though some of them are. There are probably a few billion athiests, and not all of them are evil, though some of them are. As you can see, I totally reject labeling billions of people as either good or bad...pretty radical. ; )
Mr. Woods has expanded his JW-only pen, but he is still trapped inside a pen and clings to labels. As a JW, he believed that only JWs were good, and the rest of the world was bad. Now he believes that other Christians can be good, but that all of Islam is bad.
I give him credit for making progress, but he is still 'captive to the concept' of Christian exceptionalism.
You are new to the board Diest; if you desire more information concerning my opinions, feel free to perform a search of my posts.
i have found (thanks to an older thread) and downloaded pdfs of the henriette riley trust fund form 990s filed with the irs.

interesting investments (many household names).
I didn't have an issue with the Trust before, and after recently completing Wills and Trusts, I have even less of an issue with it.
The WTBTS is the named beneficiary of a trust. The trustee (probably a bank) has sole discretion as to how to invest, subject to any limitations that the settlor (the decedent, Ms. Riley) placed on trustee.
With that said, the argument can be made that the WTBTS should reject ALL the money because it is tainted by the Phillip Morris stock.
may 30 for prayer and supplication
in accordance with the resolution of congress of april 2nd, and with the proclamation of the president of the united states of may 11, it is suggested that the lord's people everywhere make may 30th a day of prayer and supplication.
god was graciously pleased to cause the nation to be formed and to grow under the most favorable conditions in the world for the preservation of liberty, civil and religious.
when we say that most scholars believe in jesus as a real person, ask for real credentials.
who are these?.
someone has a list of those?.
...not even a contest. Leolaia by a mile...
how would you answer to the following statement i found ?.
but all true justice is vindictive as to virtue.... it is not exemplary, or even corrective, but essentially retributive; it is the absolute art of measured recompense, giving honour where honour is due, and shame where shame is due, and joy where joy is due, and pain where pain is due..
No, it is not always negative, and it is a routine part of a prosecutor's decision-making. Victims have a right to be vindictive and desire revenge. The criminal justice system is merely the authorized revenge-agent of the state.

James Woods said: Let us also remember that some on the left have advocated Sharia Law to be applied here in the U.S. I doubt that any sane person on the left would advocate this, however.
Bangalore said: I think I know who James is talking about. She is a big defender of Islam on this board.
Good morning gentlemen! It's lovely to know I am in your thoughts! Mmmuuahhhaaahhhhaaahhhaaa...
