This is so sad. I feel like crying. How can a judge let that man go?

The judge is leaving the door open for his own disgusting behavior.

Bronze age thinking. They follow their holy book as law and hence for inhumane actions are going to take place. There is far worse cases even documented cases of our middle eastern allied soldiers raping and killing children and committing war crimes. Its the mind set of the people and the heavily flawed morality they live by and it sickens me.

God I know humor is necessary to survive this kind of shit. And many people are completely numb to this kind of stuff. But...I just want to go off and cry. This shit is so fucking depressing.

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

Why does anyone leave their child alone with a priest anyway?

Trust...? Not all priests would hurt your children, y'know? Infact... FEW of them would.

But... there are a lot of them, and the structure of priesthood celibacy and ceremony does have an effect. Just... I'd say it's blown out of proportion... but it's really the papal protection of pedophiliac actions that's really disgusting.

You're right. Most priests are just feeding people repugnent propaganda about various imaginary characters on a daily basis. The pedo ones are giving them a bad name.

The idea that this guy is getting off scott free is infuriating. Even if muslim's aren't going around shooting people and blowing shit up, they're maintaining a governing system based on horrible misognyistic ideals. It's fucking disgusting. Almost entirely by chance, I go through my day doing ordinary things that I don't give a second thought to, that half way around the world people are being murdered for: watching a game, having a laugh at Jesus and Mo, looking at girls' faces in public. You get the impression that you can't fart without having a knife chewing through your neck. And this guy is good to go. Punishment enough. It's not even the particular case, it's the fucking decision making. Complete bullshit.

I read a story (it had a video- not recommended- 1 star) of a woman who was either raped or just slept with a dude while her husband was away, there's no difference really. She's sat in a pit while some ugly fuck ranted about Allah, standing next to him was her father. After the rant is over, the orator refuses to stone the woman until her father forgives her- what a fucking saint. The father refuses. The orator insists saying "Only Allah can forgive, but you must try", and finally the father finds it in his heart to say "Ok, fine. I forgive her." The holy man buys it, and the daughter asks for a hug. The dad says "No, I can forgive you, but I won't do that." So, time to let the rocks fly, and who should throw the first brick at her head? You guessed it, daddy dearest. So what the fuck was all this shit about forgiveness? Allahu Akbar! What a crock. These moderates have no empathy.

If these people are considered "moderates" then the term needs entirely reconsidering. These are savages.

Yes, that's the biggest problem. The Papacy would have a lot more respect if they really brought the hammer down on pedophile priests. If the hand sins, cut it off. If you take that Jesus quote metaphorically, it's the same as saying one bad apple spoils the bunch.

Yeah, I was talking to my girlfriend about this. She did a little research and found that the guy was left in prison by royal decree as a result of the outcry. Apparently the Saudis also started a child-abuse awareness campaign. Too late for the girl in question, and insufficient to address the religious fundamentalism that resulted in this barbarity. It seems the man was sentenced to death originally, but that the child's mother thought she needed the money more, and so had the death sentence commuted

The emboldened information is unfortuantely not correct. He was let out of prison this last spring. The other information, to the best of my knowledge, is.

Man, they let him out again? Fucking bullshit. I had no idea we were allied with Saudi Arabia (I assume UK is too?) until it came up on this forum. I can't get my head round it.

I'm rather ignorant about this stuff, so I don't really know what it means to be allies. War allies? But still, something stinks.
