Sharia law will not be something we have to worry about here in the states in large doses.

Men here are learning that they cannot act that way here and it is a hard lesson for them.

Hell American men haven't learned to act right with women yet.

Women are going to have continue to battle to get the respect they deserve. Not the respect a man says they deserve.

American men are nothing compared to the way they treat women...go date one and see...

i think posting something untrue and extreme like this is also an insult to all readers on this site.

Sharia law,it's un-American!

American men are nothing compared to the way they treat women...go date one and see...

I worked law firm, I'd seen some serious abuse, the attorney had to go to the hospital sometimes to talk to the female.

4 years at a dunkin donuts, I heard screaming, I looked outside, a Man was beating his girlfriend with everything his got fist and all.
I ran out.. another guy got there before me, tried to pull him away from her, he knocked him down, then me and another person tackled him to the ground.... the woman was rushed to the hospital.
I was called as an eye witness, what's bizzar that it all started becasue she got him a pack of cig that was soft box and he wanted her to go back and get the hard one but she refused.

now for all of you kind people, I know we are not wife beaters, but I am just saying there are as much bad stories here.

Here's a country that appreciates the sanctity of marriage!

'We deserved our punishment': What three Muslim Malaysian women said after being caned for having sex outside marriage

Three Muslim women who were the first in Malaysia to be caned for having sex outside marraige this morning claimed the punishment was an opportunity for them to repent.Some American women could use this lesson!

Malaysian justice: Prison staff demonstrate to the media how the caning process was done at the Kajang prison outside Kuala Lumpur.

Not a very big stick.

Prison authorities caned the women last week after an Islamic Shariah court issued the penalty.

The caning has outraged rights groups and revived speculation that conservative Islamists, who advocate harsh punishment, are gaining influence in the country.

The three women, aged 17-25, said they turned themselves in after feeling guilty for sleeping with their boyfriends before marriage and getting pregnant.

The 17-year-old told reporters that she surrendered to Islamic authorities after her prematurely born child died.

She is now serving a six-month prison sentence.

'I know I have sinned, and I have to be punished. Strangely however, I felt that the caning was not a form of punishment but was an opportunity for me to repent and return to the right path,' she said.

She has already married her boyfriend, who has also been caned and jailed over the offence.

The other women, who have one young child each, are planning to marry their partners after they are released.

The men were also caned for having sex.

One woman, aged 25, said she was scared before the caning but knew she deserved the punishment.

All three women called on others not to make the same mistake and abstain from sex before marriage.

A Prison Department official confirmed the women's comments, made at a news conference at the women's prison outside Kuala Lumpur to local, government-linked media under the watch of authorities.

He said they were reluctant to speak to other media.

It could not be confirmed whether they were speaking voluntarily.

A request with the department for interviews is pending.

Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin defended the caning this morning, saying it was 'far lighter' than what some people might imagine.

'The punishment is legitimate and in accordance with the law,' Muhyiddin said.

Human rights groups have slammed the caning, saying it is a cruel and degrading punishment and discriminates against Muslim women because Malaysian civil law - which applies to non-Muslims - bans the caning of women.

The women, who were fully clothed and sitting on a stool, received between four and six strokes with a thin rattan stick on the back, lasting a few minutes.

Another woman, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, is still waiting to be caned for drinking beer in public.

Her case received international attention last year when she became the first woman slated to receive a caning penalty.

But the punishment was deferred indefinitely amid a public outcry.

Caning of men for such offenses as rape, drug smuggling and staying illegally in the country is common.

It is administered with a thick rattan stick on bare buttocks, causing severe pain and leaving scars.

Malaysia has a two-tier justice system.

Shariah courts deal with personal matters for Muslims, who account for about two-thirds of the country's 28 million people, while non-Muslims - many of whom are ethnic Chinese and Indians - go to civil courts.

I am confused. Can you help me out here?

On one hand, you support Sharia Law and it says it's good to beat an unruly wife.

Now, you state, you and another fellow stopped a man possibly, putting his girlfriend back in line.

Do you support Sharia or not?

In a place where Sharia rules, had you interfered with a man disciplining his woman, you would have gone to jail along with the wife.

We just recently stopped having laws that allowed wife beatings.

And wife rape is the next obstacle here.

Sharia Law is like looking backward in time to the manly men of ages exerting their manly power over everything.

Women need to start fighting back.

American women could use this lesson? So you support women being caned for having sex outside of marriage?

Spousal rape is a crime in the US.

Still being worked on here.

The problem is that there were no laws to say it was a crime.

So as the cases get filed it becomes law slowly

Danged if I do and danged if I don't.

I was just tryin' ta' fit in with the defendors of Sharia.

The bright side. If American women were caned for illiterate sex, there would be less divorce. Don'tcha think?

That's according to Islam.

There are laws on the books, especially here in Nevada. The problem is that it is a hard case to prove so it so not charged often after a complaint has been made.
