The whole furore reminds me of a certain individual on AN. As was found out with that person anyone who believes that a what started as cultural misunderstanding intentional or otherwise should result in the perpetrator being killed is not worth giving the time of day.

Point is, they had no business arresting a British citizen for a crime, especially with all the horrible, potential cruelties that she was never in any danger from.

This thread must have helped her appeal, I imagine.

The audacity of it! I mean, their skin is darker than hers. They're practically savages. I'm surprised they even know what law is.

"I'd never have went to work there if I'd known they had different laws."

It's god she's been given a pardon.
It means we can wipe Sudan from our minds and the 400,000 people killed there, and the 2 and a half million people driven from their homes.

My dear Semprini Sudan is just another country that i will admit yes really poor far too much poverty that the western world likes to turn a blind eye to.
To call anyone savage because they think different to europeans is not really fair...Okay fair enough they do things i don't agree with but to some of these people or most of them religion is the only comfort they have. But as a lot of them are iliterate they can't contradict what some cleric tells them and claims it to be true he should be flogged and jailed for instigation and insurgency.

While the facts might be correct I have the suspicion your post is more grounded in furthering the view that those that believe in all this religious clap trap are somehow less intelligent then the rest of us.

More importantly, how did Simon Bisley manage to have the world in the palm of his hand and lose it all...

I think you may have missed the point here.

Your implying that people can't read ergo have no choice but to trust their religious leaders yes/no? From the standpoint that you believe the religious views in question to be "backward" yes/no?

Blaming someone else for their ignorance is still calling them ignorant. 61% of Sudan are literate btw - that would be the majority of the population.
