XXTickerXX Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Lama was a five-year-old half Egyptian, half Saudi girl. Her mother was born in Egypt and immigrated to Saudi over 25 years ago. Her father, sheikh Fayhan Al Ghamdi, was a frequent guest speaker on Islamists channels. Al Ghamdi divorced Lama’s mother and took custody of Lama soon afterwards. According to news reports, Al Ghamdi told the judge that Lama was behaving strangely and that he questioned her virginity. He went as far as to have a medical professional check that her virginity was intact. Her mother said in an interview on Ali Al Olayani’s show that she felt that there was something wrong three months before Lama was admitted to the hospital but that her ex-husband would only allow her short telephone conversations. She begged him to give her the girl but he refused. By the time she finally got to see her, Lama was in the ICU. Her mother described her to Al Olayani; Lama had one of her fingernails removed, the side of her head was smashed and the rest of her body was covered up. She had to hear from hospital staff and social workers how Lama’s rectum was torn open and that the abuser had attempted to burn it closed. Randa Al Kaleeb, a social worker from the hospital where Lama was, told Al Olayani in a phone interview that Lama’s back was broken as well and that she had been raped “everywhere”. It’s a horror story on all levels. Yet the horror did not end with Lama’s death last October, as the court has initially decided that the four months that the father/murderer spent in prison is enough time and that all he has to do is pay blood money. Four months and a few thousand riyals is the cost of Lama’s innocence and life. This outcome is based on a hadith that does not occur in the two top resources for hadith, Bukhari and Muslim. It also goes against the Quran’s condemnation of fathers who murder their daughters. The hadith translates into “A father is not executed for his child.” Of course the patriarchal misogynistic scholars and judges who use this hadith to justify not punishing Al Ghamdi, do not care about the long-term implications of such a ruling. According to Suhalia Zainalabdeen, a member of the National Society for Human Rights, in all of her career she knows of only one case in which a father was severely punished for torturing and killing his daughter. She says that this leniency is also extended to those who murder their wives. She gives two examples of similar cases. One in which a husband cut his wife’s throat as she was breastfeeding their child and he only got five years for it. Another is the case of a husband who tied his wife to his car and dragged her until she died. He got twelve years. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4e3_1359902036 http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/63885.aspx http://rt.com/news/saudi-preacher-fine-rape-333/ http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/130202/saudi-preacher-gets-light-raping-killing-daughter ........................................................... So in Saudi Arabia you can be beheaded for apostasy, Have your limbs chopped off for stealing bread but commit a crime as bad as this and get a few months in jail?? So wrong beyond comprehension. Utterly disgusting. Any society that allows this can only be described as unevolved and backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marx Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Britain exports killing machines to Saudi and we don't want to upset them. At least they are moderating their religious police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygardener Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The saudis are disgusting rabid extremist islamists but a lot of jobs depend on them in the UK. Play them for the moment seems to be the most sensible course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have a full set of documentaries on Abrahamic religions abusing children. Or to be more specific, men of religion abusing children. I know there are female rabbis and priests. Are there any female Imams or is islam as backward as the catholics in embracing women?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What goes on in these crappy countries is their buisness. It's quite right that we should give asylem to victims of such torture when their own state won't protect them. The problem we have is that our so called border agency is so ineficient they also let the perpetrators of such ill treatment in to our country and then provide them with benefits and housing.
