Their "justice" system is pretty sick anyway if you ask me.:down:

[Skybird]

A society as sexually inhibited as islamic societies, necessarily must lead to such pathologic social symptoms like in this example. Why they nevertheless sell it to the world as a superior form of morals, remains to be one of the world's greatest mysteries.

Erbärmlich.

No justice system is perfect, but thats indeed something sick
the problem is as soon Religion is mixed with the justice system
we lucky dropped that long ago or else we still would be burning people on stacks.

Wait a minute didn't Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips say they should embrace this very same system of laws and governance in England?

[Zachstar]

They are not our true allies. That country is where some of the 9/11 terrorists came from and yet we did NOTHING because of our desire for their resources.

And we continue to sell them weapons.

They are sick The gov and the courts of SA. And the only way to reduce their authority and ability to continue this crap is to stop buying their oil.

If we as a nation SERIOUSLY invested in major solar projects to reduce the cost of AMERICAN solar manufacturing. We could kiss their oil goodbye and start some serious economic boycotts until they are thrown out by their own people or surrender.

In SA and UAE they have tons of underground brothels, so the men are ravenous hypocrits about sex. They just do not want their women to enjoy it. Seriously, why else would a religion have a doctrine about heaven having 72 virgins??? They are pussy hounds just like all men, they just are mentally ill from their religous view of the matter.

[Zachstar]

We do drill. Sadly tho without legions of transformers or something we are unable to increase production enough to put much of a dent in the bottom line for over a decade.

The only way out is solar or fusion. And seeing how fusion is also a decade away at best its solar or more sucking SA tit.

Companies like Nanosolar and First Solar are breaking cost barriers left and right. If we heavy invested in American solar we would have the means to power a fleet of American electric motors.

Its well past time stories like this to be fiction. Take away the oil money that arms the men and arm the women with education and we can remove 2 obstacles to peace in one turn.

[Rockstar]

Provided there is no cloud cover or storms in the area, we have 3-5 hours of useful sunlight a day here in the U.S., what do you do for the other 19 to 21 hours that are left?

*raises an eyebrow*

No the system of laws in this topicis the "modern" Wahhibi flavour of fundamental extremists .
What lord Phillips said was that there was no reason contractural agreements cannot be done between two consenting parties who chose sharia as the basis for the terms for the contract .
Which isn't really shocking as that already is the law and it has been the law for well over 100 years .
Which also means that Lord Phillips would be perfectly entitled to have his civil matters settled in mediation based on the laws of Talmud in Britian just like his parents and grandparents could , or if he wished to be a Christian he could choose any type of Canon law instead .

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Oh, THAT Lord Phillips.

The Saudis also own a pretty huge chunk of stock from big US corporations. I'm talking billions, maybe even trillions of dollars. If they yank that dough, especially when the times are rough, it could be curtains for the US as we know it.
