In 2009, then 16-year-old Silva Kashif, was seen in a Khartoum marketplace wearing a skirt that fell just below her knee. She was arrested, tried, and convicted in a 90-minute time-frame.
Under Islamic Sharia law, the teenager‘s skirt was considered indecent.
Kashif was taken to a town square and struck with a whip an estimated fifty times.
The following video supposedly document’s the girl’s beating. I have to warn you, the video is pretty hard to watch.

If they did that to these thugs in Chicago this would be a safer city. And no I don't think this child deserved to be tortured for wearing a skirt that showed her knees!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with "anon" on the same thing being done to thugs here. I do find this punishment to be sick and twisted to do this to a teenager for a "too short" skirt, though. These people in these countries hate women anyway and treat them as if they were their property. Ever notice that the men in these countries get to wear WHATEVER they want? I watched a documentary about the Sudan region recently and these men, whether married or not, think women are theirs for the taking..and whipping. I wonder how many men get whipped? I think people who come over here from these countries who don't have human rights laws, should NOT BE ALLOWED to live here. They bring their sick & twisted culture with them.."wherever you go, there you are". How fricking barbaric...and don't get me started on stoning.
