Women Flogged For Wearing The Trousers.

Sudan: Regime flogs women if they wear THE trousers
Whimpish men who enjoy beating women
The police in Sudan, in the Capital, Khartoum, arrested 13 women when they raided a Cafe because they were wearing trousers - I say it again –trousers. Ten of which, after a quick trial, were fined 250 Sudanese pounds (£74), and then publicly (why waste time on evidence) flogged. The crime, you have it, for wearing trousers in violation of the country’s strict Islamic Law. What a load of rubbish.
Sharia Law, I believe in religious freedom, but what a shower of s*** these people are, to take innocent women, who were minding their own business having a quiet coffee, and inflict pain and criminalise them for having the audacity to wear trousers. Are they afraid the women will grow balls and challenge them!
Trials happen fast in Sudan: summary punishments are handed out like confetti. Flogging is common, more common in fact that the corruption in that country, and that is systemic. Most women suffer the humiliation and torture in silence – and think it’s just part of being a women, their standing is considerably below that of a beast of burden.
Cor! It pi**** me off, and makes my blood boil. I speak here as a red blooded heterosexual male, who like to get his own way, but this...
Khartoum traditional dress for a woman is a shawl over the head and shoulders, body covered. How dare this regime treat women that way! It wouldn't suprise me if half the men had steel chastity belts hanging from the walls as a warning to their wives in case they decided to flirt.
Young people are disciplined for mingling in public, alcohol is banned: from what I can see, everything is banned. I’m thinking of sending over a few stone tools to the leaders at least to bring them into the stone age, iron and bronze? Well, a step too far. As for the Dark Ages, they positively glow with intellectuality when it comes to this regime.
The ruling party in Sudan came to power in 1989 in a military coup, and implemented a strict Sharia Law Code, the ruling party’s interpretation of course, which helps to suppress the population, and to strengthen the regime's tenuous hold on power – clever that, don’t you think!
Three of the women insisted on a trial, one, Ms Hussein, even printed invitations to the Western Press and to Public Figures to attend her trial – good on you is what I say, if it wasn't serious it would be laughable. She said: “Let the people see for themselves, It is not only my issue. This is retribution to thousands of girls who are facing flogging for the last 20 years because of wearing trousers. They prefer to remain silent.”
Well, the civilised Western World will not remain silent, and we are with you Ms Hussain and wish you well against these despots. Or should I say whimpish men in trousers who enjoy beating women.
