Title: Divorce Sharia Style
Post by: Peter on October 20, 2009, 08:40:22 AM
I couldn't resist making this a separate thread.

Anyone who knows anything about Islam should know that all it takes for a man to divorce his wife under Islamic Sharia law is for him to say "I divorce you (http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geutoJdtxKNswALR1XNyoA?p=sharia+%22I+divorce+you%22+three+times&fr2=sb-top&fr=yfp-t-102&sao=1)" three times.

Today we find a wonderful meld of modern technology and Sharia law. In Saudi Arabia and Malaysia a husband can divorce his wife through the convenience of a text message (http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-102&p=saudi+arabia+malaysia+text+message+divorce&SpellState=n-1033860218_q-zEJt4TWycv07u6IjLZvVmwAAAA%40%40&fr2=sp-qrw-corr-top).

Sadly, the same rule does not apply for women. Indeed, if a wife asks for a divorce she might wind up beheaded to preserve her husband's "honor", like the wife of U.S. TV station founder Mo Hassan (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=mo+hassan+beheads+wife&fr=yfp-t-102&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8), whose TV channel was instituted to show non-muslims how tolerant and peaceful Islam is.

Saudi Sharia law is also being exported to western nations like England and the U.S. - with Saudi imams teaching online through big screens - in Saudi built mosques in western countries. Saudi style Sharia is also being imposed on countries like Nigeria (video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fbXvq_ZIbw))
