Obviously the data is incomplete because rape is highly underreported

[Mr Anabolic]

Swearing on any religious book, god or even your grandmothers grave means absolutely nothing.

As far as the rise in numbers of rapes year after year, It is the undisputed capital.

what are you? a fucking delusional feminist?  or just another brain-dead mouth-breather  who cant see that Islam and freedom( of the western variety) cant coexist.

I agree. The state and the church should be two completely differend entities.

PRESUMING, the Koran doesn't advocate lying, then who cares IF it gets a person to be honest?

al-Taqiyya:
deception; the islamic word for concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies.

translation:
Al-Taqiyya :Islam Permits Lying to Deceive Unbelievers and Bring World Domination!

Reporting is the key here. Sweden is doing great things in terms of rape awareness and support. More victims come forward there. The numbers in the US and many other nations might drop on occasion but it's mostly due to decreased reporting. Not decreased incidences.

Swearing on The Bible hasn't resulted in better laws, behavior, or anything else for our country and the tradition should be abandoned.

[residue]

find the one that swears in on "The origin of species" clearly the only one qualified to judge anyone

[20inch calves]

As long as she adheres to the only bible this country has: the Constitution.

If she starts on the Sharia bullshit, she needs a 9mm behind the ear.

That's the problem..she HAS to follow Sharia law IF she is a true muslim

[20inch calves]

The other problem with this is the fact that Americans actually elected here

[Kwon_2]

What a fucked up county we`ve become! 

Mussies taking over of Peace!

I assume you are kidding with the under-reporting? stats don't work like that.

[Papper]

She shouldn't even be allowed to wear a hijab

Today it's swearing in, tomorrow it's "islamic interpretations" of the law

this.  I don't care if she swears in on a copy of people magazine....but, the second she tries to implement any Islam on anyone, she needs that bullet.

she's a district civil court judge.... how the fuck is she gonna implement Islam on anyone? do you really not know what a civil court judge presides over?

Women are not fit to judge.

[WannaBePro]

If I ever become a judge I'd like to be sworn in on Harry Potter

[Papper]

If I ever become a judge I'd like to be sworn in on The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding

I'd have to imagine that this act means as much as it does for the majority of judges who are sworn in withe their hand on the bible; very little.


That said hopefully there will be protests from atheists demanding no god or religion in the judicial system/government bodies.

Eh, it will never happen, however, you do have a right not to place your hand on a book of worship.

From the article:

There is no requirement that an officeholder swear on a specific religious text, or any text at all.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I'd bet the house that you'll see a increase on the amount of tax paying hetero WASP's that are put in prison by this Crypto Muslim judge.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP)

War on Gentiles of peace

[Lustral]

Who cares. I'm atheist so if I had to swear on a bible or any other fairy tale I would be laughing the whole time.

Didn't have to scroll far for this point.

Many judges and a lot of witnesses are atheist and swear on a book that means nothing to them. Myself included. That is why there is a law on contempt - the law does not believe the afterlife will punish you for lying so it imprisons you for lying.

[Fortress]

Most are completely missing the point.

The political ideologies/laws of Islam (Sharia) are at COMPLETE odds with those of the west/non-Islamic nations. The Qu'ran states NO law, man-made or otherwise, can supersede that of God's (Allah's) law, Sharia. To do so renders one as not submitting to his rules and therefore an infidel ... and is to be put to death.

The Qu'ran also states a Muslim is justified in lying when it's to a non-Muslim in the promotion of Islamic interests.

In Islamic law, democracy is not tolerated. That a proclaimed Muslim presides on the bench of law in a democratic country is the height of contradiction.

It's plain insanity.

Her being allowed to be a judge in the US, and swear upon a holy book that demands its faithful reject most fundamental aspects of a free, secular and democratic country, is absolutely disgusting.

Does no one educate himself anymore, anywhere? Has our PC, tolerance horseshit reached such a state of compression that any concept of reason, logic and thoughtful consideration is immediately trounced in its endless pursuit?

But like I always say, this world is beyond fucked.

It could equally be said that the bible sets natural law above man made laws.

See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.  Keep them and do them, for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today? (Deut. 4:5-8).

Both are pretty archaic texts:

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm

http://theonomyresources.blogspot.ie/2011/07/superiority-of-biblical-civil-law-to.html

You also have to remember that the Nuremburg trials relied on "natural laws". That is, a law superior to man made law that should have been obeyed, when convicting and executing Nazi leaders.

It comes down to how fundamentalist the person's beliefs are; it is a bit unfair (discriminatory) to assume a Muslim believes every passage of the Qu'ran and every Christian believes every dictat of the bible. I'm sure the vast majority of both ignore the archaic shit, the loud ones just get the most attention and press.

there you go with facts again.   this thread was so awesome when it was just emotion-based.
